What is it with this country and its hatred against the gay population??? Obama winning this election and how close women came to leading the United States symbolize progress and prove that we are trying to create a fairer and more equal society. But when will people realize that this doesn't just apply to some groups and not to others? Equal ( Read more... )

Just got home from celebrating/watching the news obsessively with mi amiga and am feeling more giddy than sleepy at the moment. I think...I hope that electing Obama as president will go down in history as one of America's finest moments, and I'm so proud to have been apart of it. Congratulations, America! *g*

The library is freaking cooooooooold! How am I supposed to read, study, or write anything when my eyes are frozen over?!! I'm kind of just sitting here in a cold stupor right now dreaming of hot coffee, hot tea, hot soup, hot blankets, a hot oven, the hot sun, anything warm! *shivers*

After wathcing the VP debate with my mom...

me: I'm impressed with Biden. He came off as so presidential. He showed his experience, he proved he was knowledgeable, he used facts and figures and just plain common sense! And when he choked up about losing his wife and daughter and almost losing his sons, ....♥.

Mom: *nods* And watching Palin was ( Read more... )

No, seriously, whichever candidate you support...just vote! I don't understand why a person wouldn't register and vote when they're free to do so and when it is so easy. Ten minutes of your time to help determine the next four years of your government. I love my mom and think she is teh ( Read more... )

So, I was just chatting with my mom about my evening--I went to dinner and then to an Agatha Christie play ("The Unexpected Guest"...lots of fun, but definitely not her best) with my grandma downtown--and then asked her what she had been up to.

mom: Nothing much. We ran some errands, walked the dogs, blah blah blah. Oh, and I saw the season ( Read more... )

- I hate making small talk at the doctor's office -- I know it's simply being polite, but I'm uncomfortable as it is with the poking and prodding without trying to think up witty responses. Plus, I answered the same questions three times (for the attendant, then the doctor, finally for the last attendant), and I get asked the same stuff every visit ( Read more... )

I need your recommendations! Do any of you know of some good workout music? Ya know, songs that are upbeat and fun and will keep my ass moving? I was at the gym today, and though I love my playlist, I've had the same songs forever and a lot of them are too mellow for exercising.

Thanks, muchly! *hugs*

Snagged from angeliquesg because I am a horribly naughty student...

Dear Houston Weather,

You defeat the whole purpose of taking a shower. Or, for that matter, getting up early and dressing for class, blow drying my hair, or even applying make-up. The second I walk outside, my hair is flat, my clothes are wet, and I am so ridiculously sticky and uncomfortable (and smell like I just finished running a marathon)Then ( Read more... )
