( My 101 in 1001 Project )

To be completed by October 10, 2010!

I had an acquaintance call me ugly today at dinner. He has a tendency to say inappropriate things and as much as it should not bother me, it does. I can't help but think that he's said something like that to another girl in the past, and because of his inappropriateness and complete asshattery, she's ended up doubting herself and possibly resorting to an eating disorder to make her feel better about herself. I sent him a message on facebook, but I'm still so upset and angry about this. I hate that there are people like him in our world and I hate that I didn't say anything to him to his face about it.

Dear Ally,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but the mafia wants you. I think I realized it first of May in your closet and I saw you sit on Manchester United's goalkeeper. I'm sure you're high enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning the cut toenails to you, but I'll keep your left ear as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without a new life as a clone.

Good luck on your short term leave from jail,
Laura

There's so much about women's rights that I've never really thought of, and the idea that a woman would be forced an unnecessary surgery or be denied the right to give birth in the privacy of her own home is...so infuriating that I don't even have the words to explain it. Perhaps there is a risk of infection, but it is a mother's choice to decide where, when (well...sometimes), and how she will give birth. And the government on ANY level has no right to decide that for a woman and her family. Hell, even her husband has no right to decide for her.

Ugh. Okay, I'm done with the soap box for the evening.

Ugh, Subtropical Storm Laura, you fail. Hardcore.

Okay, so I am going to a conference called MACURH (the Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls), and I have to present a program since I've been to a conference before. They didn't tell this to me until Friday, and I have to decide what I'm doing and have something written up for the program guide by Thursday. I have an idea, but I might need some help.

I want to make one of those personality inventory things, based on the one called true colors, but instead of being colors it's Harry Potter houses. There are a few things that I need ideas for (or maybe even help generating).

1) 5 sets of 3 words for each house; so an example I have is that row one had the following words: a) active, opportunistic, spontaneous; b) parental, traditional, responsible; c) authentic, harmonious, compassionate; d) versatile, inventive, competent. The reader picks the group of words most like them and gives it a 4, and then the next most like them a 3 and so on for each of the 5 sets of groups of words.

2) A quick description of what type of person is in each house (I can probably manage this one, but suggestions are good), as well as some I statements (ex: I value freedom and excitement. I think that being skillful is more important than structure, logic, and feelings, etc etc etc)

3) how that person may act at work, in love, and in childhood.

I know that you guys probably have no interest in this, but the help would be amazing if you get a few minutes. I don't know if my body can handle the stress of this on top of hall council, band, work, and school.

1. Open up iTunes
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

( meeeeeeemeeeeeeee )

If you want to know the questions, send me a comment. The catch is you have to do it yourself if I send them!

( blah blah blah )

Pick a character and I'll tell you...

1. Had their first crush on and when.
2. Had their first kiss with and when.
3. Who they lost their virginity to and when.
4. First said 'I love you' to and really meant it.
5. Came most closest to marrying/settling down with. (If your character is already married/settled down, choose the person before their current spouse.)

HEY, HEY YOUSE GUISE! DID YOU KNOW THAT SERVING ON THE PTA MAKES YOU A VIABLE CHOICE FOR VICE PRESIDENT, FOR BEING A HEART ATTACK AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY?

lolz, CBS News is fun!

Seriously, though. I don't think I've had more intelligent conversations with my family about politics and the world than I have this weekend. Very good for the soul, not gonna lie. You should try it.

EDIT: Not only that, but her geographical location makes it very likely that SHE KNOWS SANTA CLAUS.

Oh internet, why must you have the most awesome crack?

I just had this glorious image of Nora feeding Penny when West comes tomorrow to pick her up...and the craziness that ensues from that. Oh, the joys of breastfeeding.

>_> *cough*

Give me a name of one of my characters, and I will answer the following questions:

1. Are they a virgin?
2. What are their general feelings about sex?
3. What sort of experience do they have with sex?
4. Do they have any fetishes or fantasies?
5. How comfortable are they with their body?
6. With their partner's body?
7. Do they have any special skills?
