Not much happened today. I basically sat in my room studying for my APUS midterm on Monday, with intervals of time on the computer and food and bathroom breaks. But I feel like I actually accomplished something, and am a bit more prepared for the test. So yay me on that account ( Read more... )

This is the day we celebrate the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and so the only thing I can truly write about is him. I do not belong to the generation that experienced the man and his work personally, and so the only knowledge I have is what I have gleaned from recordings, his writings, and a visit to his museum in Atlanta, GA.

Man - I need to meet this guy. Sigh ::pines for undiscovered boyfriend::

It really bothers me that we live in a world where women are constantly in danger from "predators." All I wanted to do was go to the movies by myself, and my mother says no, because it's "risky."

A friend recently told me she spent part of a Saturday night reading my lj, which made my day, but also got me thinking. I wanted to apologize for all the angst of the last post.

I'm frustrated because ( Read more... )

This was a crappy week except for three things ( Read more... )

Things were of the good and the bad today (god, BtVS has affected my speech, er, writing). Nobody showed up/baked for the bake sale, except for a select loyal few, to whom I am incredibly thankful. However, we still made nearly $50, so w00t on that account. Also on the plus side was the Garden City meet, in which I went 3-0, a cheerful reversal of ( Read more... )

My god, this weekend was both incredible and horrendous. Possibly the busiest I've been ever. Here's a recap ( Read more... )

Just finished a story. Little angsty, fiction thing, but I like it. At some point I'll have enough courage to post it, but for now it resides in my hard drive, reveling at its completed state ( Read more... )
