I really want to go to the Northwestern Medieval Christianity graduate program.
among other things.
(There is absolutely no reason for me to go to graduate school. Fact.)

me: did they just say "cylon?"
baby roommate: we should do like cylon rock, like wizard rock, but with cylons!!
me: yeah are you serious, maybe you're just kidding, but I would really want to do that.
baby roommate: we could be called the sharons
me: yeah that would be great
baby roommate: or wait, maybe not... wait...

okay so I was googling Rekha Sharma from Battlestar Galactica, the most beautiful person who ever lived, and one of the suggested search terms was "rekha sharma hot."
Like...maybe someone was trying to do research to find out if Rekha Sharma was hot or not? Because they didn't know?
or maybe there are two people named Rekha Sharma and the person was wanting to make sure Google was understanding they meant the hot one. I don't know.
For the record I was about to go to sleep, like I was half asleep with the lights off, and then I was like "it's time to look at pictures of Rekha Sharma on the Internet!"
After a while I found some sad but charming pictures of a time when RS was sandwiched between some Tall Individuals (who I also love):
RS was not able to make eye contact with them or anything, because she was too little! Despite the fundamental sadness going on in the pictures, they kind of make my heart explode with love and awesomeness. I wish that I had tiny versions of them in a box, like Mulholland Drive. And then I could fall asleep and dream about them!!
Oh look, now all the celebrities are happy:
Thank Goodness. They Are All Friends.
(wait wait, this is my favorite They Are All Friends picture:
Buddies!
For some reason it's very important for me to believe that TV show characters like each other in real life.)

this time last year I hadn't applied for any summer jobs, so far I've applied for two:
camp for ASD people in North Carolina
camp for developmentally disabled people in Vermont
argh, I hope CDS gets back to me about whether I got my old job back. I really don't want to have to be a line checker at lunch or something. fourth meal is magic.
I guess I should apply to more summer camps, it's just annoying because a lot of them require you to mail it instead of submitting online. There are a few that just haven't put up a 2010 application yet, like a camp for kids with Williams that I'm really interested in. I'm going to apply for AHRC camps, I've applied for them before, it's no trouble.

This is exactly how I feel all the time:
I'll say one thing for Edinburgh, my room actually had a radiator that I could turn on. Best of all I could put my clothes on it to warm them up before I put them on, which was MAGIC. Here it is so, so cold. LV says it's not any warmer in our room than it is outside. But the worst part is that the showers take 10-15 minutes to warm up. This isn't a joke, I turned on the shower today and waited a few minutes and then got in and it was sort of lukewarm, which was horrible, because I was super cold. I stood there shivering for a while and eventually gave up and started washing my hair in case it was going to get even colder. Then, once I washed my hair, it got sort of warm, so I just stood there and waited until it got hot, and then I just stood there and spaced out for ten minutes and waited until it got uncomfortably hot, and then I stood there a while longer. Now I feel sort of okay. The heat got so far inside me that I don't feel cold even though I'm in my super cold room.
Now it's time for Spongebob macaroni and cheese!

Pete: I didn't ask my parents for money because my father is sick.
Trudy: What's wrong with him?
Ami: He can't wear pants.
Ami: I thought this book was going to be like nonfiction, but it's trying to be literary and I feel really disgusted and betrayed.
Ami: Aster...what would you do to try to get more people to go to plays?
Ami: Do you ever feel nervous because you can feel time passing?...I sound so high.
Ami: WHY CAN'T I SLEEP AT NIGHT?

so, I was going to church with my mom's friend and my dad wanted to come along. My parents are atheists so I asked why he would want to go to church. "I like going to church with you," he said.
This sort of annoyed me but during the service I was thinking I'm sort of a jerk, it's good for anyone to go to church at all, and it's kind of ridiculous if I feel like religion is some sort of adolescent rebellion. That if my dad is okay with it and wants to support me/relate to me by coming along, that is nice of him, and I'm pretty harsh on my dad in general, etc.
Then when we got home my mom asked how the service was and my dad said, "It was okay...WELL EVERY SERVICE IS WONDERFUL BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD."
Oh, right...maybe I had an actual reason for not wanting him to come.

| About My Blogspot Blog That is Actually About Stuff |
[22 Dec 2009|08:34am] |
I got linked on Feminists with Disabilities again and when I was tripping out over the link I realized I'm in their blogroll which I think is a recent development, and basically I feel like I should have a Blog Schism, because something like 10% of that blog is a list of funny things Vincent Kartheiser has said and/or ridiculous movies he's been in, and the rest of it is mostly about disabilities. I just feel like a bad person! Am I a bad person? Feminists with disabilities don't want to read about Vincent Kartheiser. :( BUT HE'S SO IMPORTANT!!
he is so beautiful and LIFE IS UNFAIR
(actually on the non-whiny front I'm obviously really excited to have been linked, additionally thank you for commenting on my emo post about not getting into fiction, I later found out I got into nonfiction so it doesn't screw up my major it's just a bit of an ego blow, but whatever.)

Dude I'm just going to come out and say it, Glee is pretty much the worst TV show I've ever seen in my life.
Not even because it's offensive. And no, it's not "satire." If it was satire, it would actually be funny. But completely putting aside the fact that it's offensive, it's just this incredibly stupid show cobbled together from about eight different genres and not in a good way.
They try to have the characters say things that are shocking so it can be like Arrested Development, but the only character who's actually good enough to be on Arrested Development is Sue. It's hard to watch the other characters with the right frame of mind because about a minute after they say something over-the-top offensive, they become really goopy and inspirational to a vomit-worthy degree. Before you give me an example of a show where the characters say amusingly offensive things, but can also be genuinely likable in other scenes, I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just not being done here.
The cognitive dissonance of everyone pretending that Lea Michele is a better singer than Amber Riley is breaking my brain. And so is the cognitive dissonance of the show trying to have "diversity" and then showing complete disrespect and laziness when dealing with the POC and PWD characters. Seriously dude this isn't about me being offended, it's just annoying! I think if you asked Ryan Murphy what he was trying to say about people with Down Syndrome, for example, a huge glob of unintelligible words would come out of his mouth, like: "jdrhtev .... duteoppdtt ... dsjfheierurufc!"
Actually, you know what, I just realized the show Glee is trying to be--Freaks and Geeks, right? Aspects of it are really dark, satirical, and/or ridiculous, but it's also sweet and sincere in the big picture. The problem is that Judd Apatow obviously put in actual effort when he was writing the show. Glee has good parts but I just get the impression the people writing it really don't care, and have a hard time paying attention to most of the characters or plotlines.
I find it horrifying that anyone loves this show. Seriously. Can someone explain it to me?

if you are writing a card to someone who is Jewish and you are Christian, can you say "Happy Hannukah" or do you just sound like a jerk who's pretending to be Jewish? I think happy holidays sounds boring.
