Ahora es la estación de otoño y es mi estación favorita porque celebro mi cumpleaños en octubre. Voy a tener veinte años el veintinueve de octubre y pienso celebrar con mi mejor amiga quién tiene su cumpleaños en octubre también. Me gusta ver mi hermana en otoño pero vive en Los Ángeles.

So today I realized, or it was brought to my attention and I realized it was true, that I go on at least one feminist or environmentalist rant a day (sometimes its even an eco-feminist rant about how the rape of the earth mirrors the rape and violation women have experienced forever, that's on a good day).

so it's just me now and i don't really know what to do with myself. this break was fun.

You know what else is sad about college. I have to come to terms with the fact that I am not extraordinary, and I have to make a future for myself with that realization. I think that is what my new piano teacher really does for me and that is why I hate her so much. She doesn't care about trying to make me feel extraordinary, or even remotely ( Read more... )

I had a very weird experience today. In doula training my doula teacher had a miscarriage. She told us she was 12 weeks pregnant that day, and that she had to take it easy because that morning there was a little bit of blood. Then that afternoon, she stood up and gushed blood through her pad, through her skirt and onto the floor. She was ( Read more... )
