things!
+ katakokk , if you want a book that's basically all about the American Navy under sail, check out 'The Boys Were Men: The American Navy in the Age of Fighting Sail,' by Forrest McDonald. I think others on my f-list would probably like it too, as a matter of fact. It's a really nice book - I enjoyed it a lot.
+ you guys, I break my political/religious science to say this: how fucked up is this whole Rifqa Bary thing? honestly. unfortunately for me, I live close to where she came (of all states, she picked Florida? really?), and so have to endure articles about her almost every day, and every single one lowers my opinion of her intelligence EVEN MORE. you want facts, boy have I GOT FACTS. *headdesk* basically, wtf, Rifqa. wtf.
+ I'm getting very annoyed at the regular use by people I know in RL of the word gay as a sort of slang word for 'ridiculous/silly/weird/annoying'. I hear "that's so gay!" really frequently, and (this would be amusing if it didn't infuriate) most frequently at the Christian homeschooled co-op! yeah, I know. it's interesting to note that I don't think I have EVER heard gay used like that at choir, most likely because of Shane, who graduated two years ago, was in choir for ten years, has a fantastic voice, everyone liked him, and is quite openly gay. I just... the small-mindedness of the people at co-op is GRATING ON MY NERVES. A LOT. This is only one of the things that they are bothering me with!
+ xover_exchange sign-ups are open! I have my sign-up form saved and am debating sending it in, though I'm sure I'll end up doing it. what can I say? I have no willpower when it comes to saying no to potentially awesome stuff.
+ I feel... twitchy? I dunno. Eh.
