I'm quite scared of the prevailing wind in our country at the moment. It can't lead anywhere good, and I honestly don't know what it will take to stop the trend towards catastrophic violence. Just this weekend, the FBI carried out raids practically in my own back yard on a Christian militia group that was selling pipe bombs and plotting to kill law ( Read more... )

You know, it's really uncomfortable to have to sit through a verbal reaming that is not targeted at you. We have group meetings for our lab on Monday mornings, and today my boss decided she had several things to get off her chest, including rants about how her students never meet deadlines and how none of them have plans for publications and if ( Read more... )

How is this wonderful man our president? I just read the transcript of his speech at the National Academy of Sciences, didn't even watch the video, and I am in TEARS. He fundamentally understands the importance of science, how crucial it is to the entirety of the human endeavor, and I just want to give him a big hug. It also makes me want to stay ( Read more... )

You know, having the answers to the physics problems I'm studying for my test tomorrow in a PDF file that I have to read on my laptop makes it REALLY hard to focus.

HAPPY OBAMA DAY!

This is it! It's finally here! Today, a man whom I fully believe in steps into the shoes of the American presidency. He inspires me, and he inspires the whole country, and I am so excited and hopeful.

YES WE CAN HEAL THIS NATION!

Have a wonderful day my loves. ♥

I'm just a hazy girl
Blurring all the edges
Only seeing blue

It's a wild hope
A wild hope
A wild hope
Everything will be alright

ENORMOUS PET PEEVE ALERT: It appears that EVERY PICSPAM in Merlin fandom is in this format - i.e., screencaps squished down to roughly 300x150 px and put into a single collage image. It's ugly and horrid and completely USELESS. Why has this fandom fallen prey to such a horrible habit?! I fully plan to remedy this with a FULL SIZE massive picspam ( Read more... )

Happy New Years, my loves! May 2009 treat us and the world with much more kindness than 2008 did.

I have not been online at all so I am completely and WOEFULLY behind on LJ. But I'm really okay with that. If anything big has happened in your lives, tell me? Or just come say hi! I miss you all <3 ( Read more... )
