Stop it, brain.
Stop it right now. I don’t need this. They don’t need this. Just. Stop.

I am too radical for this family.
THIS HAS BEEN MY ENTIRE VACATION. I also had an argument with my aunt about how homosexuality wasn’t actually an “abomination”. /sigh.
Upon reading various other Tumblr posts, it’s nice to know that at least I’m not the only one who has to go through lessons in good old fashioned gender stereotyping during the...

NY Times full story here.
For those who think that Asian-American discrimination ended with WWII, as though Hollywood’s whitewashing wasn’t enough for you, here’s something recent. A disgusting travesty that the media should outright acknowledge as a HATE CRIME. Those soldiers all…
For forgetting to turn off a water heater? Seriously?? That poor kid..

So apparently there's a problem with my language.
When faced with the option of spending Christmas night home alone, or going to see family we haven’t spoken to in about two years, I chose the latter, despite the fact that one of those family members tried to create more unnecessary drama between my mom and me a couple years back, hence me not having seeing them. As soon as I got in the door, I saw an old friend of mine whom I haven’t...

I HATE CHRISTMAS
six and a half hours to go
Recibir mensajes de mis amigos deseándome Feliz Navidad es como agridulce para mí. Aprecio que ellos me cuiden y me pregunten si las cosas están bien, pero al otro lado, me siento presionada decir que todo esté bien aunque no es así. Siempre trato de decir algo positivo porque sé que ellos están celebrando y disfrutando con sus familias, pero la verdad es que la Navidad no es así para mí. Aunque...

On Being Home.
So far since I’ve been home I’ve managed to drive around aimlessly in my car (oh car, my car, how I missed you, dear car. Also, dear atmosphere, I’m sorry for all the fuel emissions…), go Christmas lights hunting with Dan blasting Frank Turner and oOo Fishy til 4 in the morning, see a couple of ND friends (Jack still needs to get his ass home, though!), and spend a night...
“The math is the math. You can’t lower current (tax) rates and raise revenue...”
– President BARACK OBAMA, responding to Republican charges that he is “fixated” on “raising the tax rates for the wealthiest Americans,” on 60 Minutes.
This whole thing, summarized so simply and yet the conservative element in these United States continues to pretend not to understand the sheer,...

Nina comes in and finishes my current sentence with “mothafucka what?”
Sending it in.

Just two more pages to go…….

She won’t stop asking if I’m done. This is worse that living with a two-year-old. I know from experience.

This is beginning to look more difficult than I had planned. She won’t stop asking me distracting questions about clothing and where water bottles go.
Okay, Tumblr
This is pathetic, but my mother is over, and she is cleaning EVERYTHING (she begged ShitStephSays to let her help clean her room out of boredom -_____-;;;;;;), and completely destroying any hope I had for finishing this paper, so I need your help once again. It’s only 6-7 pages, so I can definitely write it within the next two hours. It’s already outlined with quotations and...
Wake Up Call
Woke up this morning to the following text from Jack:
“This is a courtesy call from The Concerned Friends of Nancy like-three-middle-names Monaco. If you are clinically alive, press 1. If you are barely functioning, thrash about on the keyboard. If you are dead, do not respond and we will route emergency services to your location.”
Interviewer: Tell us about your relationship with Robert Downey Jr.
Jude Law: Oh, I love him.
Interviewer: You have a bit of a bromance going on there.
Jude Law: What is this new term everybody's using? That's a horrible term. What about just a 'romance'?
Interviewer: No, that's not the same, 'cos then you'd have to star in a romantic comedy together or something.
Jude Law: We just have! Have you not seen it?
If Corporations are counted as people then they...

Please help us to save the life of 10-year-old Samar Maree from Ramallah.

And Some Days, People Make Me Smile
After my Logic final and a meeting, having not eaten anything since the night before, I decided to celebrate being almost done by popping my Chipotle cherry. I walked in and ordered a veggie burrito chock full of deliciousness and an Izze, and when I got to the checkout, my card was declined. Puzzled, I took off the Izze and tried again. No dice. I was rummaging in my bag for any stray dollar I...
