If I could drive...

I would be in San Francisco getting arrested right now.

Currently...

working on: more homework than I knew could be physically done in one week, ballet routine en adagio, art/business finance hmwk, fashion designs, cleaning my room/house, giving a female character of mine a chance to get really scary 

interested in: Alexander Wang, Vivienne Westwood, and Stella McCartney. Minimalism. Ways to keep my hair off my face. Cooking Asian food (Malaysian mostly). War photography. Deadpool. Japanese culture. The massive amount of sudden wildflowers we get every spring. Pomegranates.

reading: The Martian Chronicles, a collection of Bradbury shorts. I've read it a few hundred times and I keep coming back. 

listening: Chopin - Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp Minor, Shirley Manson - Samson and Delilah, Kronos Quartet - Dark Was The Night (Cold Was The Ground), Rise Against - Swing Life Away, Sigur Ros - Saeglopur

watching: Coffee and Cigarettes. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The Crow. The Machinist (even though seeing Christian Bale that skinny makes me want to cry). Batman Begins (yay, he's healthy again!). The Office, US. 30 Rock.

wearing: old-school Joker t-shirt from (I think) the 90s. stupidly skinny jeans and gladiator sandals. 

plans: more homework (aiming for at least forty credits this semester, which is way high). wool-blend Vivienne Westwood knockoff coat, which is completely daft for 85+ heat. use the word daft more often. crepe plaid shirt. write something good again. become friends with someone who knows how to draw comics or learn myself. 

The Next Supreme Court Justice

Warning: quixotism ahead.

Dear Mr President: 

There's a lot of people talking about the next US Supreme Court Justice, and well they should. You could nominate another black man, or the first Hispanic, or the third woman. Or you can nominate the first openly gay man or woman to a national, tenured seat on the bench. Kathleen Sullivan, a First Amendment scholar and former Dean of Stanford Law School, or Pam Karlan, a Stanford law professor and founding director of Stanford's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. Both women are gay.

There's not much to stop you, Sir. The Republican opposition have admitted that they don't have much chance of preventing your nominee from being confirmed. On top of that, the vast majority of people in this country support gay rights, even if many of them do not support the right to marry. According to a Quinnipiac University Poll, 57-38 percent support civil unions and marriage-like rights for gays and lesbians. That's a huge majority, Mr President. 

Gays are the only true minority left. In this day and age, if a radio host talks about "wetbacks", "niggers", "kikes,"  or "cunts" there is an instant uproar on the internet, and the person is either fired or given a severe warning. The same cannot be held true for the LGBT community; they are the only minority that it is socially acceptable to discriminate against.

During your campaign, Sir, while talking about repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, you said, "All that is required is leadership." Gays and lesbians helped elect you. Please, Sir, lead. 

Ah, evangelists, are you ever right?

Why don't crazy people believe that god created gay people, perhaps to curb rampant overpopulation? Why don't crazy people believe that god created condoms for the same purpose? If they're right, and god created and controls everything (god has a plan, y'know) than why does that not apply to anything sexual? 

Oh, right, because sex is dirty and god couldn't have had anything to do with it. 

Sex=death. Welcome to the monkeyhouse.
