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/

I, uh, spent a long time on it too. A while. *facepalm* and I sent it in because honestly? CROSSOVERS. I want to write, but I need an incentive. and this will probably be fabulous. (please let there not be much homework during those weeks. PLEASE.) NARNIAAA! If it hadn't made it on, there's a good chance I wouldn't have signed up. but it did!

exercise is good! /hypocrite yeah, I need to get off my butt and start biking, but I haven't since I fell off (I've been having issues with my left arm ever since). But I have to bike 5 miles this Fri., so. maybe that'll help. :/

OOOH. BOOK. *grabby hands* That sounds really, really good. And yay for book recs! *dances*

Rifqa Bary? Um...I googled her, but I haven't really heard of her? Care to fill me in on the whole situation (if it won't make you angry)?

Also, I know what you mean, especially the fact that people at a Christian co-op would be saying "gay" all the time. The only time I ever use the word gay to describe something is when it is could actually be described as homosexual (the subtext on Merlin, for example), and just using it as slang is not cool. At all.

And I feel twitchy too! But that may be because I haven't exercised today. *shrugs* It poured here, my field hockey game got canceled.

it's a joy to read, and it's got all these neat stories about captains and people and boats and also details on what makes these ships better than those ships, etc. if you can find it, I think you'll like it!

it's this ridiculous mess where a Muslim girl converted to Christianity and then a year later ran away from home to Florida, where she stayed with evangelical Christians for two weeks after telling them her parents were going to kill her because they were extremist Muslims. except her older brother? throws wild parties when his parents are gone and freely admits he's not much of a Muslim. Rifqa herself? was a cheerleader. it's a ridiculous, extremely annoying mess, and it's turned into an ugly fight mostly waged by extremist Christians, who are trying to keep her from being returned to even her home state, which is evaluating the danger to her and would place her in foster care

Captains! Boats! Ship v. ship! I am excited to read this. I have to make a trip to the library this weekend for school anyways, so hopefully I can get it then. :)

Okay, that's just stupid. Extremist Muslims would never allow their daughter to be a cheerleader, and their son to be "not much of a Muslim." Obviously, she was trying to garner their sympathy. Also, those extremist Christians? Open your eyes. This makes me want to hit somebody with a field hockey stick.

Smart-girl-sarcasm-bitch-out FTW. We pwn all. /dork

Rain is very, very fun! Also, the weather here is all cool and nice because of the rain.
