Yep. It wasn’t that long of a thing but we spent about an hour and 30 minutes just talking to people. Brandon still might be there actually as he was caught up in a debate with about 3 seminary students.

Somehow ended up hanging out with Catholic seminary students until about 10:30 PM. It was a sort of odd and interesting night.

Valid reasons to be annoyed with CBS right now:
oxfordtweed:
° Watson is no longer the accomplished and decorated war hero and army doctor, two aspects of the character which have always, in some way or another, coloured the way the character behaves and the decisions they make. Not only does it change the character, but it sends a message that women aren’t capable of fighting for their country. ° Related to the above, Watson has no longer...

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter. It’s ridiculous that the school is not allowing her to have an interpreter in the classroom when she will have one while she is...

Apparently my brother had no idea who Rick Santorum was and saw him on TV. His immediate reaction was something like “Wow they’ll let any extremist on TV now.”
And then he saw the words presidential candidate by his name. He told me “I was like you’ve got to be shitting me.”
I just started laughing really really hard when he told me that.

Tumblr: America needs to stop being racist and sexist, pay more attention to women and PoC ok

I am no longer friends with the guy who I was arguing with earlier. For more reasons than that obviously but let’s just say he treated me like crap for a while and I got tired of it. I don’t regret it because my life is instantly less stressful because of it.
I guess that therapy I’m doing really is working to help me be more assertive and not let people treat me like crap...

I’m surprised you’re still friends with him honestly. Maybe we can meet up!
You and me both.
That’d be awesome! I know so many people going to Dragon*Con this year and it’s awesome. I’d love to meet up. I’m going to be there all four days, unless we have to go up on Friday for some...

My friend is pretty….sheltered. He doesn’t really know how the world actually works and tends to be under the impression that everything is equal now. It really bugs me though mostly because it’s meant...

I read the book, and really enjoyed it. Until I started to THINK about it. And the movie was like SUPER exaggerated. Clearly this facebook guy is a knob.
I’ve done the same with similar stuff. It’s actually kind of hilarious because he keeps trying to convince me to give it a chance and says that...

He literally responded with “It was her experiences growing up. Read the book. It’s amazing. The story is wonderful.”

ARRGH
I said I had issues with The Help on facebook and now my friend who fucking loves the movie wants to know why.
How the hell does one explain the inherent racism in a white woman writing a book about black women and basically saying that these black women needed a white woman’s voice? Or that it is totally a great white savior tale? To the person who said to me “Why do you care...

Clopin is forever my favourite of anything ever.
He is possibly the one enjoyable character in Hunchback of Notre Dame 2. Mostly because he has the same voice actor as in the first movie and his character is still kind of cool. But Clopin is just awesome no matter what. :D
Though he’s inexplicably...

SO YESTERDAY WAS AWESOME.
I hung out with two of my friends and we went to the nearest city to see The Secret World of Arrietty, which was pretty good. Then we got some cheap but good food. So about 9 PM, on the way back to campus, we drop by my dad’s house so I could get my Hunchback of Notre Dame DVD. We get sort of lost going back and end up at my place and this is where the real fun...

To be fair, sleeping might be difficult since the air conditioning unit outside seems to be on its deathbed and has definitely decided to not go gently into that good night.
In other words it’s making the most annoying sound I’ve ever heard.

Ok so I have a lot of Doctor Who feels at the moment. Specifically concerning the main female companions in Nu!Who. So let’s continue under a cut just for length reasons shall we?
I freaking love all of them.
Seriously I do.
Let’s start with Rose Tyler. Now Rose is the one I probably had the most trouble really loving because I kind of watched Nu!Who backwards from Series 4 and...
