Sometimes I worry that I get stuck in a sort of feminist bubble. I’m really lucky to be surrounded by people who hold the same values I do, and in a way I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve come to recognize or befriend many of the people in my women, gender, and sexuality classes because we’re all minoring in the subject. I’m getting to know the amazing people at the Center,...
Wrote some new stories for the zine I was working on (and then forgot about). There are so many things I want to include now, and a lot of the pieces I originally had are going to be taken out. Hopefully I can finally get this thing done!
Here are some of the things I wrote about tonight:
Privileged straight, suburban, white boys who tell me how I should frame my experiences
A letter to this...

Good morning bright eyes.
I watched you while you slept, reflecting on resolutions broken and promises kept.
We learned to fall before we learned to walk, and we had to sink before we could swim. So have patience, stop checking the clock, and if someone locks you out kick your way back in.

So I think the guy I really used to like just upped and quit his job, and he just asked me to hang out…not quite sure what that’s about. (Sorry for all the personal shit I’ve been posting lately, but I’m kinda shocked right now.)
I called my mom earlier to thank her for sending me a package, and the conversation shifted to other things. I’m not gonna get into it, but I honestly cannot have a real conversation with that woman. We don’t relate at all, which is slightly sad, cause I wish I could tell her about all the things I’ve started doing but she would do one of several things:
Tell me it’s a...
Goal: To stop thinking that no one wants me around or that I have nothing to contribute.

I’ve been kinda stressed out lately with all the hunting for apartments, internships, and jobs. The job thing has really gotten me bummed because no one has even had the decency to respond - and the only person who did respond had filled the position already, so I guess it’s one of those lose-lose situations. It’s weird though, because right now I’m actually pretty happy,...
Also, that awkward moment when you expect some 40-year old dude to be doing the interview when a 24-year old stud walks in. And he’s into LGBT rights and reproductive rights. I don’t think I hid my shock very well…whoops. (I pictured a very different man based on the telephone interview. Not that I’m mad.)
WatchStumbled across this band while “taking a break” (AKA procrastinating), and I’m digging it!

This is partially my sleepiness talking, but I want to brainstorm essay/story ideas this week to send to Bitch for an upcoming issue. I doubt I would ever get in the magazine or on the website, but it’s still worth a shot! (I’m running on an optimism streak right now. I’m kinda stoked on life in general.)

Listening to this while I procrastinate. Woohoo!
To Do List
Update resume (I feel like some wannabe professional or something when I hear myself say that. Ugh.)
Make list of internships and application due dates
Compile list of potential jobs and see what they’re all asking for
Go to the grocery store
In between doing all that I’ll be listening to music, probably catching up on Modern Family, and doing some homework. That’s my wild...

Of late, it’s harder just to go outside To leave this dead space with hatred, so alive. Writhing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay Killed by the weakness, but forced to return. Turn it off. I watch the stars as they fall from the sky. I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying. I feel the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry. Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes....

I wish I could start screaming in the middle of the street and not get thrown in a psych ward or something. I’m so sick of bad things happening to people I care about. I keep thinking of a Menzingers lyric that goes “Don’t worry brother, this will blow over”. I know there’s truth to it but right now it doesn’t feel that way. Eventually it will be ok but for the...

Pros
You seem to like it when I write you
You’re shy (which is kinda nice cause I don’t feel like such a fucking weirdo)
You’re awkward (same reason as above)
You could teach me a lot, and vice versa
We could be friends
Cons
You don’t write back until I say something
Major mixed signals
You’re awkward (which is cute, until I feel like you don’t want me...

This is NOT okay →
The major news organizations, for the most part, are not covering this story. My friend Gabby showed me this; everyone needs to know about this story because it looks like there is a good chance this might actually get passed.

Relevant Lyric of teh Day
“To a hopeless cause I sold my soul, a romantic, plastic piece of shit you can mold until I break into chokeable pieces.”
I’ve been listening to so much Alkaline Trio lately it’s ridiculous. Anyway, that’s the lyric that is always fucking relevant to my life. I just want to spend quality time with my friends, improve my writing skills, and play more guitar. I...

Aaaand the freaking out starts now
I just sent out the piece. Oh man….I hope he doesn’t hate it. I have this irrational fear that he’ll show it to his friends and they’ll all sit and have a good laugh. I don’t think he would do that but for some reason that scene is in the back of my mind. Blegghhhhh. Whatever, I’m going to sleep and I’m not going to think about anything.
Writing this article is helping so much. I mean that with the utmost sincerity. I was feeling really down, but I’ve been talking with one of my professors a lot lately and he’s made me feel so much better about my writing. All the insecurities I have in relation to my writing is what makes it special, he said. It’s nice to hear someone say it’s ok to be a little nervous or...

I know I don’t have any sort of “right” or “authority” to say this, but I can’t stop thinking about it.
Please don’t ever change yourself for someone else. I’ve seen people do it before and it never ends well. I totally understand if you get nervous around others (cause I know I can make a complete fool of myself when I feel nervous)…but if...
