I know I bitch and moan about school all the fricken' time. So what's the deal? I am really fuckin' excited for school to begin tomorrow (more like today actually...).

As high as my high was to have Obama elected, I have my ups and downs still in terms of the anti-choice measures failing, yet once again watching states pass anti-queer legislation. I plan on attending the national protests (In the Cities, we are having two different protests, one in the Mini-apple, the other in St Paul). While I never had the ( Read more... )
