Sorry I missed last week! I completely spaced, so I guess I can cover everything this week.
I agree that feminism shouldn't undermine men, but that women need to stand up and win their rights. Women's rights have improved a lot in the last century, but there is a lot of things that could be done to improve it. Another part of it is education. The world would be so much better if all women were educated. Have you seen the Girls, Inc. videos? I think it's totally true that empowering women would have a huge, positive effect on the world. But, if feminism is taken to extreme heights, we would just have a lot of crazies running around.
I also think that Facebook can be a great way to have fun, spread ideas, and voice your opinions, but people will say things that they wouldn't say face to face. Arguments can get can get out of hand and be misunderstood online. For example, a band that recently broke up, You Me and Everyone We Know, is currently having a huge argument online, with everyone else to see. It's getting really crazy and I don't know who to believe. It's really sad to see a band that I love break-up and then there is all this drama going on, as well. I don't think that the band members have talked personally, either, they are just reading posts on a website to see what the other side is saying.
My recommendation is the band, You Me and Everyone We Know. Hopefully you won't pay attention to the argument going on.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Easter (or if you don't celebrate it, a good Sunday).
Emily, that picture was hilarious! I loved the new Doctor Who! The creepy alien is freaking me out, though. :)
DFTBA

My Introduction
Sorry, this might be a little late -
Hey everyone! I'm Susie, I'm 16, and but I'm wouldntchangeathing in Your Pants (hehe still laughing at that joke). I guess I tell about what I'm into and stuff like anomalous_bibliophagus did. By the way, this is going to be great! I'm so excited.
- I am also a HUGE HP nerd. I love all of the books, with The Deathly Hallows being my favorite. I also really liked the first part of the seventh movie. I can read the books over and over again without getting tired of them. Whenever my family travels, I always bring at least one Harry Potter book just in case I run out of things to do.
- I am also really into music, I really couldn't live without it. The thing is, when I hear a new band or song that I love, I get really obsessed with them. Unfortunately, after listening to it for about a month on repeat, I find a new obsession or get tired of it. It's really sad. Currently, I'm infatuated with a band called Angels and Airwaves. I recently bought Phoenix's album called Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and I've been listening to Anberlin, blink-182, Box Car Racer, and Paramore.
- I really love reading. There's just something about being able to create a movie in your mind. It might just be me, but I get kind of annoyed when books are made into movies and they don't follow the book and the people look nothing like the characters you picture in your own head. I really like books like Pride and Prejudice, The Tale of Two Cities, and Jane Eyre, but I also love modern, teen books, as well.
- Art is also something I love to do, there are just so many things you can try. I recently took a digital photography class and I really liked it. I also love 3D art like sculpting and using the pottery wheel (even though I'm not that great with clay). I generally like making 3D things more than just painting or drawing.
In school, I really love my British Literature class this year. We have an amazing teacher and we read some really good books (I really disliked the Iliad, though). I like history too, but I do not have a good teacher this year. Last year I had a great one. I take French, and I really hope I become good enough to actually speak it well. I play soccer for my school, and we just started our season - I'm on JV. My coach is from France, so maybe I can use my (not so great) French skills!
My Recommendation:
If you like British Literature, like Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, I would recommend The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte (Charlotte Bronte's sister). It's about a lady who has kind of a mysterious past. I'm not done with it yet, but it's been really good so far. There was a British mini-series about it, and it was good (and there's a really cute guy in it).
Talk to you all later!
