My newest life mission is to stop people from using the words "gay" and "stupid" interchangeably ( Read more... )

So there's this guy that I've been arguing with. He is extremely anti-gay. Not to the point of violence, but to the point where he wants the entire LGBT community and their supporters to stop or leave the country so that he can raise his traditional Christian family.

Tomorrow morning I am interviewing at OU for the position of Admissions Advisor. Part of the interview process is that I need to give a 10-15 minute presentation on OU. I am curious as to what you fellow Bobcats think should definitely be included. I'm going to give background info, academic info, talk about things to do at OU and in Athens. Other ( Read more... )

I'm about to give up on finding a boyfriend. Which is silly, I know, because I'm only 24. I'm just getting really frustrated. The guy I had my first relationship with - a junior high summer camp romance - is getting married today. I found him on Myspace and discovered all sorts of cute pictures of them on their honeymoon fundraising page. Ugh ( Read more... )

JCON elections were last night, right? I hope they went well. I wish I could have been there, but I had made plans a while back. I'm curious as to who won, though.

So yeah, that's it. Good luck with finals, everybody. And happy spring break if I don't see you before then.
