Okay. I have to accomplish the following things before Spring Break:

1)        Take bio midterm

2)     Take Korean midterm

3)      Finish project proposal for stats

4)     Do laundry

5)     Get money for trip

6)     Pack

7)      Figure out airline shit for trip

It is currently 2:41 PM on Thursday. To keep myself from having a breakdown, I am making a list ( Read more... )

GAAAAAAAAAAH. This is ridiculous. After lunch, I have bio lab from 1 to 3:50, then my French horn lesson from 4 to 5, and then I have to go find a friend from Voces to give her music and coach her in the Scots Gallic (no, not Gaelic, GALLIC) we’re singing in, and then I have orchestra from 7:30 til 10. I am going to have almost no freaking time ( Read more... )

These started as me studying for a bio midterm...and then sort of...ran away... The first four are all bioology-related, but the third one is actually pretty easy.

1) They say I can be discerned by mere common sense,

But a microbiologist knows not what I am.

If you don’t know I interbreed, then you must be dense.

Just think! Binomial nomenclature be ( Read more... )

If my pillow could speak, I have a feeling I know what it would say. First of all, it would probably angrily shout the following at me: “Stop drowning me in your salty water, you emo bitch! Or take a higher dose of valerian so you fall asleep before crying all over me and bleaching me with your acne medicine!” It would probably also snark at me for ( Read more... )

Because I had so much fun making my “What would my name be if I were trans?” entry, I decided to make another name entry. (I love names!!!)

Nicknames I have answered to:

-Meliss (my dad is usually the one who calls me this, but others have too)

-Lissy/Lissi/Lissie (nobody could ever agree with the spelling; it was my grandma’s nickname for me, and ( Read more... )

I’m 100% cisgendered, so I’m not sure why I’m thinking about this. Maybe because I like names, or in case I ever write a male version of myself into a story. Because I have the mind of a scientist, I seem to be thinking of possible names in categories. (Obviously I’m only thinking of names that I like.)

Names that are similar to mine/also start ( Read more... )

I have posted this challenge, taken from the journal of filia_belialis:
The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing (within reason, people. Within reason :P). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can ( Read more... )

1)     Homophobia. Why is it anyone’s business what consenting adults do behind closed bedroom doors? Is it because people fear what they don’t understand? Or because people think that gay marriage will open the floodgates for marriages based on pedophilia, necrophilia, or zoophilia (because children, corpses, and animals can definitely legally ( Read more... )

I just got out of bio lab, and since the class is on genetics, genomics and evolution, we'll be doing a lot of work with Drosophila melanogaster--fruit flies. I love working with fruit flies, because they're wonderful organisms to use in the study of genetics, and I think their wings are pretty when they're not vestigial. Of all the crazy things, I ( Read more... )

I wrote this in high school. Junior year, I think. This is one of the shortest pieces I ever wrote. Certainly not my best work, but it's interesting to look at it again.

In the Face of Danger

Ambulance screams and distant gunshots might have warned anyone else that a different route should have been taken back to the dorm. But to Daron, it was ( Read more... )
