SOPA/PIPA Internet Blackout
January 18th I will be participating in the internet blackout in protest of SOPA/PIPA. SOPA might be shelved for now but it shouldn’t exist at all. If you don’t know what SOPA is go here then go here and send a letter to your representative telling him or her you do NOT support internet censorship.

Why Women Aren't Crazy →
One of - if not, the - most important thing you’ll read all day.
“When these women receive any sort of push back to their reactions, they often brush it off by saying, “Forget it, it’s okay.”
That “forget it” isn’t just about dismissing a thought, it is about self-dismissal. It’s heartbreaking.
No wonder some women are unconsciously passive aggressive when expressing anger, sadness,...

If I could turn my music up to the loudest point it could go and have the world disappear - I would. Right now, the highest it goes isn’t high enough. I’m lost in my own head and it certainly isn’t working out for me.
Lucky me, no one that knows me personally reads this frequently enough to worry.

These Days
These days I’m sad, unbelievably sad.
I can’t get my heart to understand that it’s a happy time. Things are going well. and things are going well. Yet somehow I am inconsolably sad. All I want to do is curl up with a big blanket and cry. For no reason at all. Just, cry. Pretend that I’m not lucky, that I don’t have a reason to smile, just give into the complete and...

New Year's Eve
The second worst holiday of the year. I hate April Fool’s day the most. Buzzkill, I know.
The whole thing I have against New Year’s Eve is that I hate spending it with people that might not be there at the end of it. I realize that people might not be in my life no matter what I do on the 31st/1st but it’s the idea of spending it with strangers or people I don’t actually...

“Oh no, I’ve said too much. I haven’t said enough.” Losing My Religion by R.E.M
I am notoriously bad at relationships. I pick jerks and those who are “broken” through what is some unconscious thought process that must go something like “Hey, they’re broken - if I fix them, I can fix me!” I don’t outright think I can fix anyone, nor do I...
