so this certainly wasn't my happiest christmas ever, I would certainly have loved to have my brother here with me, and splitting up with carlynn makes the whole thing very bittersweet. I'm glad to have time with just my family but I'm going to have to get used to being alone ( Read more... )

Hello internets. So this is a book list I've been putting together of things I have to read/finish reading, I figured I'd share the list and see if there's any good books missing, or if you guys have any opinions about the ones already on there (ie that's a good one, put that at the top of the list, or that book did not tickle my literary pickle ( Read more... )

Just had another exhilarating discussion with my father about gay marriage. This is all stemming from the fact that while my mom and I were out shopping today 2 girls in front of us kept using the word "faggot", my mom steered me into the dressing room and while I was trying on clothes she apparently went back out there and confronted them.

Good news, kids I found out when my brother comes home today. He's getting into NC on the 18th which is perfect since that is also Chile's Independence Day, so hopefully I'll be with him for that. This was all in all a very nice weekend, Carlynn came here on thursday and left just an hour ago. On Friday we went over to steph's and played apples to ( Read more... )

For the most part I feel pretty invisible at school most days, and I was finally getting accustomed to the contrast it had to high school, where I felt like I couldn't achieve privacy on campus if you paid me. So today caught me totally off guard, I had a girl in astronomy and in another girl in poetry tell me I was smart which was a nice esteem ( Read more... )

My father encourages Bush's decision to have vetoed stem cell research, claiming that stem cell researchers are the modern equivalent to Nazi scientists (consequently throwing my mother into a screaming fit). I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I need to get out of this house.
