I'm surprised you didn't instead choose my character's status as a citizen of Celest


If you're anything like me, you would pack your backpack with your laptop, power cable, and research notes, put on sweatpants, a shirt, sweatshirt and sneakers, then take the blankets off your bed before finally going down (unless of course you smell smoke, in which case it's sneakers->sprint), because 99.9% of dorm fire alarms at 4 AM are false alarms, and if you're gonna be outside at 4 AM in January, you may as well do it in semi-comfort. That one guy who was in the shower when the alarm went off was really thankful that I had brought blankets. What floor is the top floor for you? I'm on a 3rd floor.

Sixth floor. And it was three in the afternoon.

Well...considering I own what I'm downloading, but it just got damaged

Life just not going that well right now.

Tael is a government employee! Oh, everything makes so much more sense now.

HIIIDE!

:ducks for cover:

The FBI is spying on our internets!

Waiting for this bus company to email me my ticket. I am freaking out because I keep thinking I might have given them the wrong email or the woman misheard me and I might have wasted $65.

Either way, it is frustrating. I would call them tommorow but thats when I leave and I don't know if they are open.

And this keyboard sucks. I miss my computer.

We're doing spring cleaning in the office in the wrong season!

But a related Rave: With all the junk that was being stored in my office moved out, my office is HUGE!

So, last night I watched this thing on the science channel about this girl who fell down skiing and wrenched her neck just a little, not even enough to be sore the next day or anything. But it caused a tiny tear in her carotid artery that eventually led to blood being blocked off and her having a series of massive strokes and brain swelling that led to having part of the right side of her brain removed and then an infection that led to the removal of nearly all the remaining right side of her brain.

The only warning she had that something was wrong was massive migraine like headaches leading up to the final stroke.

So, today, I have this really wretched headache - mostly from the dust and the bleach, but I keep thinking about that documentary last night.

Did you know that the average person swallows six spiders a year in their sleep? Food for thought... or sleep as it were.

Thank you sir for reminding me, I do indeed enjoy my sleep but tonight, with that on my mind and the big buggers I used to get in my room in Burlington.. Wont be happening! Though, I suppose it's justice for disrupting Xavius' sleep with thoughts about the centipedes in Etherglom.

...what?

Shhh...

Thats why I dont watch shows like that. Life is happier that way Watch cute animals instead!

Myth.

Good idea!

Yes it's a Myth but jumpy bug-fearing Noola didn't know until all you damn internet crusaders showed up. Now my fun is ruinT!

But I don't have spider fear, I have palmetto bug fear.

Believe it or not, yet it does.

I'm not fighting over the word "marriage" Really, you can have it, I have better ones. But I am fighting for the concept of a marriage, since even civil unions will never be equal to marriages in the current climate.

We are a massively diverse group of people, we really are, and most of us have conceded the fight for a religious marriage by those who don't consider us human, much less equals. Sure, some of us won't stop fighting until the Pope himself marries a gay couple, but most of us are getting riled up and bristly because the legal system is singling us out and excluding us from the institution of marriage. As a whole.

And it just blows my mind completely that even when we say we'll take Civil unions if they're given the same status as marriage, we're shot down and told that it will never happen because a marriage is fundamentally different. We can't win for trying. On any front. I mean, think about it, really. There are denominations of churches willing to marry two men or two women who cannot because you're so stuck on keeping the word for yourselves. And that same couple doesn't see a civil union as a valid alternative because, really, it's not right now, and as long as people get rabid over defending the legal status of marriage as being above and beyond any other relationship legally except for parenthood, it never will be.

But I'm so drained right now that I don't want to argue any more. I've fought and I've fought and I've fought, but you know what? There's too much other BS going on in my life for me to waste energy arguing with selfish s.
