Comments and questions are always appreciated.]
These are all Lies
Rules are meant to be broken.
Everyone is born equal.
Google has all the answers.
All you need is love.
True love waits.
I’ve been pregnant and had an abortion.
Boys don’t cry.
A good feminist can have “it all”.
Being “born gay” is somehow better than being “turned” gay.
I am racially “colorblind”.
My parents neglected me.
My father beat me.
I am “damaged goods”.
Everyone thinks the way I do.
Everyone should think the way I do.
Because I said so.
I am a mystery.
“It’s God’s will.”
I have a terrible memory.
I have had schizophrenia-related hallucinations.
I beat up a guy in high school.
“Real” poetry has end-rhyme and meter.
Nightmares prevent me from having a stable romantic relationship.
Some people are just evil.
Fat = ugly.
I don’t know my own strength.
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
This I know for sure.
I never believe the lies I tell.
This will not end well.
Three things

1. Okay, so I think I’ve mentioned this before, but Joss Whedon is a genius. I like Buffy and Angel, and I’d probably like Firefly, too, if I ever saw it, but those aren’t why I think he’s awesome. It’s this.
2. I’ve been meaning to watch Senator Obama’s speech he gave in Philly that was apparently such a big deal to see what all the fuss was about… But I haven’t managed to come up with 30 minutes of time all in one place in which I’m mentally able to critically think about what he’s saying, so I’m posting the link here in the hopes that someone will be able to tell me if it’s actually worth watching.
3. F&M’s radio station, WFNM, is now online. The radio people finally convinced the school people that online is the way to go. Apparently, the school people were threatening to shut down the station if it didn’t attract more listeners, but weren’t allowing the radio to broadcast online because “it wouldn’t make that much of a difference.” Lame, but at least it’s fixed now for a little while since the station has an online trial period. Go and listen!

- June’s coming = my birthday is near = I’ll be 23 = OMG when did that happen?
- Going home in less than a month for Johnny’s graduation.
