so, drinking a bit calms me down, and helps me think more clearly. at least the hangover part does. UGH. i'm still digesting alcohol in my stomach ... and my last drink was about seven hours ago ...

staggering back to WPS from a failed attempt to vomit outside of the near failure of a cafeteria McAllie, i watched a girl in shorts barely covering her ( Read more... )

"so, i am not disillusioned; rather, i am liberated. i do not have a tiny string of almost nothing tying me down, and i may turn in whichever way i wish. but i'm reaching the point where the gales are threatening to pop me: it is much safer on the ground ( ... )

i was being sardonic, actually. i have a tendency to mock myself without being clear to others that i'm not taking myself very seriously. (i went on to mention how what i had written was nothing more than florid crap.)

i am liberated from the masculine "heteronormative" man-belongs-on-battlefield woman-belongs-in-kitchen prison, though; that is not false. you are correct, though: i didn't say i was free from my own prison ... that arguably comes only from God.

I know men--besides Jeremy, even-- who have clean, well-kept hair and don't prefer large muscles. The anti-stereotype does exist, so much so that I'm pretty sure stereotypes only exist on TV/the media in general.

The girl cried "rape" at the frat house. She's done it a lot, according to my brother who knows what actually happened. She cries "rape" at a lot of the frat parties. Doesn't mean she was actually raped. Might've been, but it seems to be a boy-crying-wolf scenario.

well, i'm glad to hear it. that's why my reaction to the Crime Alert email was initially negative: unlike assault (like the girl who had been cut) or theft, rape evidence isn't as clear cut. secondly, why do I need to know about this girl? they know who did it; it's not like I need to be "on the lookout" for this suspect (whom they didn't describe.) for this reason i feel the email was inappropriate -- did you get it or has your email been terminated?

You're a fascinating, beautiful person. I wish you the best of luck with everything. *hugs* And I would be interested in discussing the contents of this post with you futher once I have the 'emotional resources' (as I'm in a bad mental place right now and don't need another reason to stay on the internet all hours of the day).
