One step forward for Republicans, one giant leap backwards for the nation

More things to talk about in my next post:
-how disappointing this election was
-oh my god

You're just like I remember

I have a lot to talk about.

This time change (Fall back) is SO GREAT. I feel like there's so much more time in the day.

I have a ton of work to do for tomorrow, so tonight and tomorrow I am SWAMPED. But I have no homework for Tuesday, so tomorrow night, I am free! If I stay in town, I am getting drunk! (but only if someone will drink with me). But I may go to my mom's house tomorrow night, so I can vote Tuesday morning.

I have friends who don't care about voting one way or the other, and I have several people who scoff at me for voting because they say it does nothing. I have an agnostic approach to voting. I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I feel like we have to try, so at least we can't say we didn't... Also, I feel really strongly about this current big issue. I need to vote "no on 1" because if enough people vote "yes on 1," then abortion in Tennessee will become illegal. This changes the state constitution as well as completely defies Roe vs Wade (???). I'm not saying I am getting any abortions, but I am saying that shit needs to remain legal and SAFE.

EDIT: I was being hysterical, and that info is inaccurate^

So, I kinda need to vote... This backwards-ass state is definitely leaning towards "yes" based on the ungodly (or should I say "godly" ?) amount of "Yes on 1" yard signs, bumper stickers, and billboards I have seen... as opposed to the maybe 5 "no on 1" yard signs I have seen. I just really hope the people who are less vocal about it are the ones who actually take the action and vote on it.

I need to talk about these things in my next post:
-Brand New concert
-Shakey Graves concert
-Trip to Memphis
-Halloween party
-LAST NIGHT with P
-a bunch of introspective bullshit pertaining to my current state of mind and relationships.

What am I turning into?

When you toss someone around you have to expect them to respond accordingly.

Some Thoughts

Some men don't see women as objects; they see us as game. Something to be hunted, coerced, trapped, and tricked. Something to be caught, and oftentimes, let go. Perhaps more like catch-and-release than trophy hunting. At least a trophy is something you keep around to show off.

Women are something you use in the dark.

At least it gives us a little more credit. We are seen as something with a mind of its own. Something that can make decisions; ones that you have to persuade in your favor but only temporarily.

Just Let Me Know Where You've Been

"you don't love me you just love sex, but i can't wait around for something better than this, because you're the best that i can do, and i wish i could leave you"

Nothing has changed. All the same things are happening. School is going alright. Oh! But I did see Brand New and Shakey Graves last week. I am going to Memphis at the end of this week with Nikki. Exciting things to talk about! Too bad this homework is consuming my life.

I fee like I've been doing better this year. I don't dread my projects and I feel like I have really, really improved in my skills. It makes me excited. I actually get excited to start projects now! I just think I need to focus a little bit more. School is good though. I haven't been able to say that in a long time.

I have been hanging out with Max almost everyday. Mostly I need him to take me to run errands. We drove 3+ hours (6 round-trip) to see Shakey last Friday. It was stressful on the way there, but after a few drinks and a damn good show, it was alright coming back.

Jack and I have been the same. I don't know what's going to happen when I'm actually ready for a relationship. Or if I meet someone else. It'll have to end.

If the teeth have got to go, then the teeth have got to go.

I'm really tired and procrastinating by writing this. I need to stop.
