I can’t read Katakana (or any other Japanese script), but I’m pretty sure somewhere on there it says “designer was dropping acid”

You know you must have been WAY sicker than you thought if you go back to study your notes and find THIS:

Synpsin – orange clumps. Mova stuff around inside your foods. No cytoclamsic DNA damage. SEROUS BUSINESS. Immune system FREAKS OUT.

I kid you not. That is a direct quote from my notes… on ALS. From looking at the powerpoints he gave us, he mentioned something about how it tied in to this cutting-edge research on Ataxia-telangiectasia, then he described the gist of said research for us. It involved something about binding of Synapsin-1. This is where I think I may have wandered off into the depths of my own mind, because there was no diagram. Anywhere. Ergo, no orange clumps on a diagram to describe. Nothing being moved around. And. Um. Inside your foods? Not a clue. And the rest?

I got nothin.

Seriously, I have no idea what in the name of little green apples was going through my head when I wrote those words.

And I don’t want to.

(memo to self - when ridiculously sick and heavily medicated, borrow notes from someone who seems at least marginally coherent)

Tired, cold, sick Lily hates the RA who made her wait outside for 3 hours before letting her into the dorm, when it’s her job to let us in.

Today, I caught myself searching through dog rescue websites again. I really want to adopt a second dog… partly to increase the doggy love in my home, but for other reasons as well. I’m going to be heading off to medical school in a year, and I want to have a dog to bring with me - can’t live without the furry buggers. The required feeding and walking would force me to not turn into a fat, lazy hermit, and the value of canine companionship can’t be overstated. However, I know that the first year of medical school is a BAD time to be training and bonding a new pet. If we adopted a new friend now, our current dog would have someone to play with, and the new dog would have a year to get used to us, our lives, and our training.

And… heck, I just want more doggy love. I know part of this is I’ve never really gotten over the loss of our last dog, as she was “my” dog - our breed of choice tends to bond very firmly to a single person, and she was my baby girl. She was my constant companion, my confidant, my friend who would never turn her back on me (except to beg me to scritch the base of her tail). Our new boy isn’t the same; he’s wonderful, but he’s my mom’s dog through and through. Seeing him jump up and leave me whenever my mom enters the room rubs salt in the wound a bit - he loves all of us, but makes no bones of the fact that she’s his Mommy. I miss that kind of bond. I want another Samoyed. *sigh*

Graduating

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 21:24:47 -0400

Yikes. I just realized that in less than a month, I’ll be graduating. I’ll have my bachelors. It’s a bit of a scary feeling, and it’s bittersweet. I’m SO ready to be done, but I’m going to miss my friends, my “home,” and yes, even some of my classes and professors. I’ve lived, worked, learned, and loved here for five years… it’s going to be hard to leave.

“I have to say, as someone who is not Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God-willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country - or maybe forty-four in a row. But, that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.”

Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:48:15 -0400

Being forced to read essay after essay from my students is showing me just how many horribly disturbed and terribly fucked up people there are wandering around my campus every day. Some of them I want to give hugs and send them to therapy, others I want to make sure I never, ever run into them on a dark night in an alley.

Maybe there’s just something about psychology classes that draws a disproportionate number of mildly to extremely unhinged students, but seriously? It’s draining and depressing sometimes emotionally painful to have to wade through their work.

Side note - just because I am a teaching assistant in a personality course does not mean I am a therapist. I am not here to help you work through all of your life’s problems. Sorry, not my job, nor am I trained for it. That said, I’m a nice person, and I’ll usually talk to you for a little bit if you need someone. BUT. I have every right to rigidly enforce my personal and emotional boundaries. It does not make me a heartless bitch. It does not make me a bad TA. It makes me a human being who has a right to have her own damn life, with as little leeching as possible.

Missing my boyfriend hardcore. His job is really making life difficult right now. His job at the hotel is Per Diem for now, so every week his schedule changes, and every week it pretty much sucks. The only time he can just about never get off is weekends, and because I’m a full time student, that’s the only time I consistently have free. End result - the miracle of him finally finding a job in this economy turned into the “wtf” of me not being able to see him when I emotionally need him most. My spring break, for instance - usually we spend my mid-semester breaks seeing each other around once every day, even if it’s just for an hour. Lots of the whole reconnecting thing, since I’m actually in town. This time, I saw him twice over the whole break. He was either working 4-midnight shifts after a morning/early afternoon run of classes, or 10-6 and then crashing in preparation for said classes the next day. Oh, and the weekend at the end of my break he had to pull 2 12-hour shifts, noon-midnight.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really, really happy he has this job. It pays well. He’s got a good boss and decent coworkers. Emotionally, he’s stabilizing - not having a job really trashes his sense of self-worth, which leads to him questioning our relationship, which leads to passive aggressive shit because I deserve someone better… I’m really, really happy he has this job. I just wish his hours and mine synced up a bit better. I miss him.

“I was not sexually abused. I am not on drugs. The acts I perform are always consensual. I am a woman who strongly believes in what she does — it is time that our society comes to grips with the fact that “normal” people (women especially) enjoy perverse sex.

I hope to inspire people from all walks of life, and to collaborate with innovative individuals (bohemians welcome). Many people mistake this thought and believe that I desire all women to do porn and fuck like rabbits, ignoring all health risks. This is not what I preach or believe. Like any business, I take risks in my profession. Anyone considering porn as a career should be fully aware of these risks before jumping in.

I am ready to take on any opportunities and challenges that face me as a woman, porn star, and artist” - Sasha Grey

What if the Ten Commandments were affirmative instead of negative?

Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:47:10 -0500

What if the Ten Commandments were affirmative instead of negative?:

I am lord over my own body and mind
I identify falsehoods and treat them as such
My power comes from words, names, and language
I honor my memories and choose my traditions
I honor my chosen family
I protect and create free life
I demand respect for the relationship contracts I enter and grant respect to those of others
I gift wealth to others
I uphold my own convictions
I spread joy

Now THERE’s something I can work with.
