mini rant.
while adding to my thesis paper, i’ve been pondering the expectations young girls face, and the harsh reality that awaits them. i remember the line most frequently given to girls as they make their way toward womanhood: “real beauty comes from within” (or any similar variation of that sentence with the same meaning). until now, it never really struck me as anything but a nice...

i feel pretty damn motivated today. going to crank out at least five pages for my first draft of my thesis paper, and add more throughout the weekend. our minimum is five pages, so i figure if i get that done, i have a bulk of my work done and two days to add any potential thoughts or ideas that spring up.
i’ve got to clean the apartment and wash the dishes, hit the gym later tonight....

just heard an explosions in the sky song. i really liked it. i’m a pretty big fan of instrumental music, and couldn’t really find anything other than this will destroy you, whom i saw live back in high school. does anyone know of any bands similar to these?

i had a good birthday. two close friends came up, we went shopping and got frozen yogurt (my newest true love) and saw the new daniel radcliffe film, the woman in black. i liked it, but i was also terrified the whole time. i’m really not a fan of scary movies, and we had some sixteen year-olds losing their shit in the front of the theater. it wasn’t terribly scary, just a lot of jumpy...

i hate this time of year. when presidential candidates are really gunning to get ahead and i begin to realize how many people i know and are friends with are kind of idiots or douche bags.
all the candidates suck, seriously. they’re all shitty people. i really want obama to stay in office but i have a sad feeling he won’t.
i’m heavily contemplating stating my political views...

sometimes i just like to put on mellon collie and the infinite sadness and see what happens. sometimes i cry, but tonight i’m filled a longing for the summer before i turned eighteen. just riding out into the countryside for hours on my stepdad’s raleigh he had back in college. leaving my phone shut off and under my bed. hanging out in the cemetery, checking to see if someone left a...

keep hearing about this lana del rey chick, or lizzy grant, whatever her name is. i don’t listen to the radio much, and i don’t have cable.
watched two of her music videos, the kristen wiig spoof and del rey’s snl performance, and my official statement on her is:
she’s okay. i think one youtube comment sums it up best: “she makes music for the ears, not the...

This is my school district. →
catieisel:
I was in the Anoka-Hennepin school district from 1st grade until I graduated. I knew that the policies regarding the discussion of homosexuality (or other related issues) were not exactly favorable, but I did not realize the extent of how terrible they are. When I left Anoka High School, I thought things were getting better - our GSA was allowed a spot in the yearbook as a school...

so…don’t watch the movie “restless” unless you like adorable clothing, adorable quirky characters, and a predictable plot line.
because you will love it.
you will love it and you will bawl.
