So, I have officially registered to take the LSAT on December 2. To anyone who prays, this would be your cue-begin in earnest. What I really think should happen is that y’all should put together some sort of multi-religious prayer group in which you are properly appeasing all gods. I feel like that would be the best way to make sure that my bases ( Read more... )

I went home last weekend. I now have new brakes that work, a new watch, and Bill Maher tickets. You know you're jealous... Unfortunately I had to pay for the last two myself, which makes it somewhat less exciting than if someone else had bought them for me. I did, however, make $60 on my way out the door, which was pretty awesome ( Read more... )

We had a Fatality Review Team meeting today. Two more suicides and a two year old who got a hold of his mother’s blood pressure medication and overdosed. The suicides especially are so frustrating, because we keep seeing such similar cases. And even though I know that the kids whose deaths we’re reviewing right now happened last year, it feels like ( Read more... )

Everyone be very nice to Katie for the next few days. It seems that her long time dream boat, Senor Lance Bass, likes other boys more than previously suspected. As she pointed out to me, maybe we should have known all along. Because she's right--he really probably was always too pretty to be straight. I really need to go back and review the old ( Read more... )

You know, I always kind of figured that Bush was about the most ridiculous of leaders, what with his casual destruction of the English language and dumb jokes, but it seems that the Japanese are giving us a run for our money. ‘Cause their prime minister publicly flaunts his obsession with Elvis Presley. But our-actually, I’m not going to even say ( Read more... )

One of my mother’s friends has a myspace page. I find this….disturbing. Perhaps not altogether unusual-I mean, our parents like the internet too, right? But still. Someone should tell the thirteen year olds posting drunken pictures of themselves that mommy and daddy have arrived. Not me, though. I just want to hide and watch while mommy and daddy ( Read more... )

Several months ago my mother bought me an LSAT prep book because I asked her to. It sat on my bookshelf for a long time, and then in my car, and now I’ve finally gotten around to opening it. And it feels sort of like I’ve opened up a black hole on my desk that might eat up my entire future ( Read more... )

I’m seriously considering killing my sister. The whys are too drawn out for me to care to explain, but it’s a serious consideration. And she’s definitely not coming to Washington with me. Screw not being petty or immature. Maybe I can just talk my father into locking her in dungeon of some kind until she stops being an irrational, odd, ( Read more... )

John Wells is an evil bastard. I hope he dies, and I hope it hurts, and I hope he spends eternity suffering in the fiery pits of hell. Just so you know.

I am five pages into a ten page paper. This doesn't sound so bad unless you know how long I've been working on, and then it becomes pathetic. And makes me want to hurt someone. I can tell you all about Robert Bork, though. Although I'll be honest, it suffices to simply say that he was just one more Republican asshole ( Read more... )
