Hello Everybody!

Sorry for my leave of absence. A combination of sparse access to the internets and the fact tht I have ap exams to study for sucked up what time I had to post stuff. I will make sure to post from now on though, so sorry bout that.

I dont have anything interesting to bring up, so I'll just add to the other two topics that are floating around.

first, Feminism. I feel that Feminists, like racial activists, feel that we live in a world made to dominate and oppress them. This is pretty true, and I dont like it when people just dismiss their causes as trivial or crazy, but at the same time I agree with what Susie said in that they can get carried away.

Ultimately, I think that the big catch 22 with problems like these is that by solving the problem, we inadvertanly make it worse. By having affirmative action towards gender or race, we in fact serve to distance each other even more. It seems that the only thing to really do is just drop it entirely.

I think Morgan Freeman says it best

Also, Rebecca I totally can relate to caring about what people who youve been close to think about you. I went out with this girl once and even though it ended on what I think were pretty good terms, I still wonder every once in a while whether she thinks badly about me. and then I realize I shouldn't care.

Time heals all wounds I guess....

my reccomendation is also portal 2. THE MOOOOOOOOON
