The Great State of Iowa

The Iowa Caucuses are 5 days away. We’ve been waiting for this moment for what feels like forever. This is the real start of the primary process – the movement from speculation and polls to votes and actual numbers that state who is the frontrunner in this race to run against Barack Obama. In a … Continue reading →

What’s today? The end of the semester. You know what that means? Winter Break – 6 weeks of it. And you know what that REALLY MEANS? . .. … …. ….. …. … .. . I’m baaaaaaack. =D    NEW POSTS SOON.

Gay Enough

I have horrible, horrible guilt about not being gay enough. I know, it sounds like both an impossibility and a really silly thing to feel any sort of guilt about – but it’s true. How can I not be gay enough? I like girls and only girls. That’s pretty much the only requirement to be … Continue reading →

You May Have to Excuse Me for a While…

I’m a college student – and if we’re bragging, I have a 3.75 GPA and a professional writer for an english teacher that claims I’m really good at this. I made it through midterms still blogging. I have been deluged with work this weekend, and then comes Thanksgiving break. And then comes preparing for finals, … Continue reading →

Butch, Baby.

It took every ounce of control in my body not to shout at one of my Communications professors this morning. A large part of one of my 100-level communications classes is reviewing established theories and arguing about them. Typically, when we get the chance to argue, there’s one kid who just hates the damn theory … Continue reading →

The boys backed down if you screamed a little and looked angry. It was the girls who kept going, who could … Continue reading →

Nice Things, Like Health Care

I can’t speak with too much authority on Health Care, but I will speak with what I know. Lately, I’ve been doing through a bit of a low point. My mood is like a sine wave, and I’m on the low portion. It will pick up – but I generally try to kickstart that uptrack … Continue reading →

The 9/11 Era

I got chosen as the featured tweet of sorts from the #maddow feed from Friday 10/21’s show. You can go see it here, if you wish… And as excited as I was personally about this, I was so much more excited by the conversation my father and I got to have after I called him … Continue reading →

I am the….[insert percentage here]!

(this is a bit of a personal diversion – I mentioned those would happen, didn’t I? – because I think its an important diversion. It’s also not completely without political impact, so…this is fair warning) — I’ve spent at least a week trying to make one of those “Here I am with my explanation of … Continue reading →
