Turning Twenty.
My birthday is in two days, and I’ll be turning twenty.
I thought I’d feel more gung ho about this year than previous years, because it’s the start of a new decade and all. And for the past two or three weeks, I was. Now that it’s only two days away, though, my birthday indifference is coming back.
It’s not that I hate birthdays in general. I’m always really...

Santorum: no apology needed for Quran burning →
Nope. No apology needed for disrespecting another religion, because if the situation were reversed, Republicans like Santorum wouldn’t be demanding an apology anyway.
This man should never be allowed to hold a political position.

It's Love.
Me: Why do you think I like you so much?

LBD Pride
I had been looking for a form-fitting little black dress (LBD) for a long time before I came across one during Black Friday.
I got to wear it out in December, and I was waiting for the pictures so I could show y’all how I styled it. Here it is:
Blazer: Forever 21 Dress: H&M
It’s pretty damn short for my taste, which is appropriate for the club, but not for my friend’s...

Longfellow
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
I came across this Longfellow poem tonight, and reading it made me cry. I don’t know why I did that, but there is just infinite sadness and desolation...

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, readers!
I know some of you might feel that this is a greeting card holiday only created to make men feel obligated to spend exorbitant amounts of money for their significant others.
BUUUUT…let’s look at today as more of a reminder to celebrate love in its full glory. Why do we need a reminder? ‘Cause you know we don’t celebrate it every day.

Past Love.
I found two love notes from my dad to my mom. They were written back when they were still dating. I’ll do my best to translate one of them here. His eloquence might be lost, though. All ellipses are his.
“Truthfully there is no gift valuable enough for you…and truthfully this is what is most valuable to me: that you already own me and my love.
However, this Christmas night,...

Enemy UAV Airborne.
Right after he finished studying, LB said, “You know what time it is!”
If I didn’t know any better, I’d have said, “You and me time!”
But I knew better. ‘Cause I’m a smart cookie, see.

Student committs suicide, letters reveal he was... →
This is incredibly heartbreaking. I can imagine the hopelessness and despair, but I wouldn’t have predicted it to be so deep that it would lead to suicide.
I’m deeply saddened, yet I am also angered. My heart breaks for the family, especially for his mother. I mourn the loss of what seemed to be a bright, young mind, full of potential. I am angry that this has become one of the side...

Black Friday Haul and Lessons.
I had the most successful but also one of the worst Black Friday experience today. Some high school friends and I went to Topanga Mall at midnight. We hit up Macy’s first, then moved on to Urban Outfitters and ended the trip at H&M.
I learned some very important lessons for future Black Fridays and other big sale days:
Eat well before leaving. I only ate a light dinner, so when I...

Irrational Fears?
I have an irrational fear of being stuck in a Port-A-Potty while it’s being moved. I’m scared of the cramped space and the fact that the urine/feces combination can spill all over me.
My friend has the irrational fear of a snake camping under the driver side of her car and biting her when she’s by her car door.
I have another fear. Whether it’s irrational is for you to...

Occupy Earth.
Who could have predicted that Occupy Wall Street could have precipitated so many other Occupy efforts in the United States? There’s Occupy Cal, Occupy Davis, and now there’s even Occupy CSUN. There’s probably going to be an Occupy UCLA soon, but for now, I think those kids are going to be busy stuffing their faces at Feast at Rieber.
Let’s focus on Occupy Davis.

I’m all alone in this world, she said, Ain’t got nobody to share my bed, Ain’t got nobody to hold my hand— The truth of the matter’s I ain’t got no man. Big Boy opened his mouth and said, Trouble with you is You ain’t got no head! If you had a head and used your mind You could have me with you All the time. She answered, Babe, what must I do? He said, Share your bed— And your money, too.
