I let them go.




I love The Tallest Man on Earth.
I love him so much.

Thoughts;
"If I don't get you in the morning, by the evening I sure will."
so much printing left to do
so much mounting and matting to do
schemes for Saturday
I have a good boyfriend
I like my jobs


Seriously though, I love him.
His voice, his lyrics, his Sweedishness...
Viva la Wild Hunt!

And you know it's a lion's heart
that will tumble and tear apart
when he's coming down the hills for you

I don't want love.




I fell down the steps,
So glad I found you there
I tend to forget
all my mistakes and regrets
sometimes I swear...

Sweet Thursday




Cuando llegue a la casa del hombre misterioso...
Bleh, spanish homework.

Thoughts;
I take it back, summer, stay away.
heat
melting ice cream
lake
suim suit season
must start running
April is more gone than starting
class

Feminism




Hit like a girl.
Play like a girl.
Cry like a girl.

I am a girl, and damn proud of it.

Why should I let anyone dictate how I feel about myself?
How does my gender make me a second-class citizen who does not deserve the right to make my own decisions?

The harder the right pushes, the further I lean left.
But more than that;
It's not about a party,
It's about respect.

I respect life, so I expect the same from everyone.

I'm calling YOU out, Skin clothing and your logo.
I'm calling YOU ALL out;
strip clubs, car magazines, beer advertisements, college pamphlet makers, clothing designers, People magazine, men who stare at women, women who enable men to stare at women...

I want to be taken seriously.
I don't want that "how cute are you??" pat on the head.
I want respect.

I don't want to hear songs about strippers, and then have my little sister hope her boyfriend feels the same way. I don't want women to be glamorized solely for sex. We are strong and intelligent. We don't have to be stay at home moms, though we make damn good ones. We can be anything we want to be.

I am ranting, but I'm pissed.
Also too tired to compress the rage into a solid argument.
