Loud Silence
The other day I posted a question on my blog “What does feminism mean to you?”. I posted this question as my facebook status with a link to my blog. I got no legitimate response, a suggestion to meet one of my friends uuber feminist friends but thats it.
I suppose I can be intimidating, but I made it clear that I was open to all different kind of opinions so long as they were...

Inspired?
I was oddly inspired by Amber Rileys performance on Glee last night. Her rendition of Christina Aguileras Beautiful was absolutely wonderful. And as cheesy as it was, I loved when everyone stood up and sang with her. This country sets absolutely absurd body standards for everyone, men and women alike. Beautiful teen girls who are coming to their curves are told that they are fat because...
What Does Feminism Mean to You?
I am looking for negative and positive answers here. Be as crude as you want, but back it up with intellect and fact so I can take you seriously. I want honest answers.
A Wonderful Morning
I had a really wonderful experience this morning at church. I can’t quite put into words what I’m feeling, but I really felt at home at the Unitarian Universalist church I attended. The people were so kind and the ceremony was really comfortable and personal unlike other religious ceremonies I attended that are so quiet, serious and (well) boring. After the service there was a half...

My Decision on Religion
So lately I’ve really been finding God in my life and I’m starting to make room for a regular religious participation. Unless I end up spending time with my family, I would really like to go to a Unitarian Universalist parish, either in the center of my town or the one over. Some people have commented that UUs are kind of a cop out because they don’t commit to one thing but I...
Does Working On The Farm Count As Studying For AP...
I think so. Today Angela and I got up bright and early (8:00, ha) to work on the farm. It was quite enjoyable. I really liked being outside and working with my hands in the dirt. That last statement felt kind of forced but it’s honestly is how I feel. I got to plant potatoes, and cover them with dirt with a rake. I found that I am a particularly slow “farmer” but I had fun. The...
Hello From Vermont!
Greetings from Green Mountain College in Vermont. I’m hanging out with angela for the weekend. I took the bus at 7:15 this morning and have been running around ever since. The bus ride wasn’t too bad, I slept through the first bus, read a lot at the lay over in Albany and then the 2nd bus ride was only an hour long and very scenic. The campus is beautiful and Angelas friends are really...
My Perfect Cambridge Day
Yesterday I had a really wonderful day. I sat in on a class at Harvard with some of my mentors from Harvard. The debates within the class were really heated and interesting and led to really excellent debriefing after class. At the beginning of the class it was announced that Michael Kimmel, author of Guyland, would be speaking that night at Harvard. Tara saw how awesome I thought it was and she...

Thoughts On The New Theme?
I have changed my theme for the third time. The font on the last two just wasn’t right, and also I got really sick of the light blue. It was lacking luster, if you will. I like this theme, I think it has kind of a crisp classical look to it. How long do you give it?
WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE THIS SUMMER?!
It’s almost may and I literally have no summer plans. It’s stressing me out! I’m usually signed up for a class or have a tripped planned by this point but all I have on the calendar is a June orientation and move in day August 26th. Can’t I just go to college the day after I graduate? I’ve been dropping off job applications left and right but no one is hiring. I have...

My Happy Place
I visited Wooster again this weekend. It was so great to be back there. I did an over night and spent some quality time on the campus. The time I spent there made me feel confident in my choosing Wooster for school. I met so many wonderful people and I engaged in a lot of great conversation, and I was there for less the 24 hours. My host was really awesome, we were very different in terms of...
Two Awesome Days of Activism
The past two days have been really interesting for me in terms of activism and social awareness. Friday was the 14th annual nation wide Day of Silence. The Day of Silence is a day when participants don’t speak in support of the anti bullying of GLBT. It’s more elegantly explained on the website (dayofsilence.org), check it out if you get a chance. I tried to start the event at my...
My Senioritis Is Affecting My Blogging
I’m sorry I haven’t been updating. I did try to update Saturday but it didn’t work for whatever reason. I had the most amazing weekend ever so I’m going to write about it even though It was a while ago. I left school at 1:30 Friday and hopped on a 2:00 bus to NYC. The bus ride was horrendus but the rest of the night made up for it. I got off the bus, met up with my dad and went back to his...
Merg.
My head hurts. I am sleepy. I don’t want to do homework ever. I just want to sleep in a coma until may 28th. My grades are going to be horrendous this term but honestly it’s because I’m not trying my hardest. I’m not stressing out about tests and quizzes. Who gives a fuck so long as I graduate? I just need get a decent grade in math and I’ll be fine. My government...
Fuck You Monday!
So my Monday was kind of gross. I went to bed absurdly late the night before so getting up was a slight hassle and I was in a fog all day. But the wonderful gift that was bestowed upon me this fine monday morning was a side swiped car and a handle snapped in two. Absolute fail. Some sunday night drink anxious to avoid their awkward monday just had to go by and scrape up the entire side of my baby....
Haven't Been Posting...
I don’t know why. I just haven’t felt like it. I had a really nice weekend, I even went to the beach friday. I just haven’t felt much like writing lately. But tomorrow I’m jump starting my life so check back tomorrow. Enjoy the music for now!
