You're in the mood for love You're in the mood to dance You're in the mood for a little romance

I went to a wedding last night....
so of course I just have love on tap. I wish I didn't channel so much energy on my relationship. How is it going you ask?
I have no idea honestly. It is easy for someone to tell you they love you, it is nothing but a word. I have written countlessly about the troubles that come attatched to a relationship, it almost disgusts me that after all of those papers nothing has changed and I could write the same words, same typings in drafts, etc.

I can NEVER take my own advice.

.....Says it all
I'm going to expand on what I had been thinking earlier about how instead of focusing on Barbie being anatomically correct, she should just be diverse. After hearing the thoughts of others, I had to skew my thinking. Since Mattel bought American Girl, maybe it would be a good idea to do the different dolls as representing a certain character of a different culture, like a story book like all the American Girl dolls were.

DC was amazing, the rally, the energy, the spirits of everyone, young & old, and men and women.... Beautiful.

The Kinky readings all have a common bond by representing Barbie as an object, a easily manipulated, toyed with, unintelligent piece of plastic the whole world has control over beyond herself. It's almost sad to read this and I have to keep telling myself they are not directly talking about a real woman....or are they?

I am about to embark on a journey to Washington DC this weekend for the Jon Stewart rally to restore sanity. I am going to try and gain insight, share insight, and leave with liberation to come back to the real world and continue to try and be (as Gandhi states) "the change you wish to see in the world"

I really want to write something big after I return.... so be back soon! Everyone stay gold!

“I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh.. try to figure out what my phone number spells in words.”

“I was raised around heterosexuals, as all heterosexuals are, that's where us gay people come from... you heterosexuals.”

"I don't understand the sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for: "Ohhh my God, you're thin."

Let em all hang out!

I have fantastic news! I finally engaged in my first bra-burning ceremony last night!

A bunch of my friends and me gathered around a bonfire last night. Somehow the topic of women's invisible requirement to shave, buy "feminine hygiene" products, and BRAS got brought up. I admitted my laziness for shaving backed up by the reasons I think it's ridiculous men look at shaveless women as gross and unclean....hello boys you don't shave EITHER. And the need for propping your boobs up and avoiding the sagging. After I wrote my journal from the perspective of my pissed off boobs that wanted freedom I occasionally stopped wearing the plastic band. I bought a new bra when I went home Thursday and burned it Friday in the fire. Now I am bra-less due to forgetting to bring some with me back home. Good thing my mom is out of town she would make me buy a new one! My friend actually felt the liberation around the fire and threw hers in as well. The boys laughed but also felt our revolt!! The only other girl around couldn't throw hers due to the fact it was a 50 dollar Victoria’s Secret bra....I mean that's reasonable I guess....but let me tell you

GOOD MORNING LIBERATION !!

I had a rather "rough day" today and did not go to classes. I did try and act different then how I normally carried myself. Unless I have dip in my mouth, a cut off tshirt and handmade jhorts with huge boots I would still feel like the woman I am. Maybe if I wore a short jean shirt and a little top I'd feel like I was carrying myself different than usual.

Looking around at people, especially people on campus, I notice diversity in ways people are walking, talking, looking, and overall acting. What a group of ten girls do, you turn and look and notice men doing it as well. Every guy I've dated has his fair share of feminine qualities, and I find myself sitting in different ways, wearing dresses or tshirt and baggy pants, sometimes I wear my hood up too.....sometimes I'll wear makeup and go out with my girls, other nights I choose to go skateboard in an alley. There is more diversity than there has been.
