Bullet points are so much easier to use
❉ I actually think I may pick up Naruto again. I already know what's happened in the series since I've stopped reading, but knowing is different than actually reading it. I was reading one of the special chapters, and it reminded me of how much I love the characters, even if some parts of the plot has me tearing my hair out. But, I figure if I'm still able to read Reborn! with all its wtf-ness, Naruto shouldn't be too much of a problem.
❉ I really want to cut my hair. It's just past my shoulders right now and I can braid it easily, which is usually the time I start getting antsy about it. It seems silly, but I having short hair is really important to me.
❉ I was given five words phrases from starkissed and I have to explain what they mean to me.
Icons: I really like making icons. Even though I know my icons aren't that great in comparison to others, it's still something really fun to do. And when I think about the first icons I made and the ones I make now, I have to admit I'm a bit proud of my progress. I'm currently in a slump right now though. I have several batches of icons that I've made that I like one day and hate the next. It's so frustrating.
Early Mornings: This one makes me smile, because I can think of a few occasions where I was up at 4am talking on AIM with 'Nee-chan ♥ I've been waking up super early since about high school, when my mother started working early shifts and I had to help Devon get ready for school. Around that time I was getting up about 4-5am, but now that my mother has an earlier shift I get up I 3 so I can see her off to work, wake up my father and make sure he gets off to work, get Devon up and ready for school, make sure he get on the school bus, and finish getting ready for class. Now that I'm currently out of class for the summer, it's a bit better because I can go back to sleep after my parents leave until 7, but I'm still usually running on 4 hours of sleep, so meh.
Feminist Movement: Instead of talking about the feminist movement itself, I think I'm going to concentrate on feminism. Feminism isn't really something I focused on until I got to college and my first Shakespeare class. My professor was (and still is) the head of the Women's Studies department and she taught Shakespeare through a feminist perspective and it was so interesting. I took her Cross-dressing and Gender Studies class the next semester, and I knew it was something I wanted to stick with. And in the long run, feminism is not only about women's rights. It's about the rights of men, women, transgendered and intersexed; about the rights of those who are straight, gay, bi, or asexual. It's about how patriarchy is perpetuated by both men and women, and the topic intrigues me - though more than anything I'm appalled at just how unfair some people are treated. Just thinking about it know makes me want to write write write about it, and bring these issues to attention.
I have more to say, but I've already gotten unintentionally preachy, so I'll stop
Computer Death: This constantly plagues me. It was even worse when my router situation hadn't been taken care of. If it were a couple years ago, I don't think something like that would bother me, but currently, I have an internet addiction and need to be on the computer.
Family: This is a pretty loaded word. Family is one of the most important things in the world to me, and I'll do just about anything for them. At the same time though, I can't help but feel a little resentful towards them because of how trapped they make me feel - not to mention the hate-hate relationship I have with my older brother.
