So, right, Pluto not a planet anymore, woe. (Actually I am just absolutely elated that we're finally defining what a planet is! I have spent the last five years repeatedly insisting to people that a society that hasn't defined what a planet is is a really, really primitive, backwards society in terms of science. So yay us!)

Also, Plan B will now

I'm worried that people not considering Pluto a planet anymore will mean that no one will bother to learn about it or even consider it. And that makes me sad. Because Pluto and Charon is rockin', and I want people like them like I like them.

I don't want to be talking to the 'future generation' and have them go, "Pluto? Like... the dog?"

And, I wanna go to a poetry slam. Lucky.

The argument about Pluto is wonderful. Now everyone's pissed about this definition, and they want to over-turn it because the qualifications to be a planet are awful and inconsistent and in theory Earth wouldn't count. And I am such a dork I don't care, I just want us to have a definition. They can argue it through my whole lifetime if they want, I just want a definition!

And you are at college now! I bet there are totally poetry slams in your area. I mean obviously the MC will not be as completely awesome as our MC was, but still. *grin*

The slam WAS awesome. And those last two bits of news make me really happy.

Yes! Yay! *hugs and spins around*

I know! Pluto is now, like...demoted, seriously, off the celestial A-list. It is like a celestial has-been. It had its moment in the sun, but now it's no longer a big star, and you could say it's all washed up. I'm a bit distressed. But I'm glad that we define planets now, but like, how about:

* it must be in orbit around the Sun
* it must be large enough that it takes on a nearly round shape
* it has cleared its orbit of other objects
* or it is Pluto

I mean honestly, who can hate Pluto?

And, I read in a magazine at the hair salon about how hard it is to get that pill. Like, perscription aside, a lot of pharmacies don't carry it and some states allow pharmacists to refuse to hand it to you even if you have a perscription, based on their religious beliefs.

Which is so incredibly, infuriatingly outrageous. Like, there you are in front of the counter, and there they are behind the counter, it's on the shelf, you have a perscription, and they wont fucking hand it to you because they think you taking it is a sin? Can

[trustanti]

Heeeeee. Well, the other scientists are pissed now, and they want Pluto back on. So who knows!

And yes. YES JESUS ARGH. I. Yes. Hopefully having it over-the-counter will help this some? Or I mean maybe you can order it online with, uh, very fast delivery. Something. But, yeah, I've been reading about that and it just makes me want to hit people or cry.

It's like the people who are against stem cell research even when we harvest them from umbilical cords or something. Come on, people, what will make you happy!

Yaaa. *hug*

in case anybody wanted to know, if you go to http://www.ec-help.org/PharmacyLocations.asp
it lists pharmacies where you can get emergency contraception without a prescription (as of right this minute, not post-approval).it costs an arm and a leg though. it's actually just more convenient if you go to your local planned parenthood. most students can get birth control for free, and they often give you free EC and condoms. good times.
