Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amych!
The Christine Lavin show last night was fun.(How could a show that ends with glow-in-the-dark baton twirling =not= be fun?)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday, Amych!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Timelies, all! Thanks for the birthday wishes!
So far, birthday highlights are coffee, purring snuggly cat, and several sudoku.

Nilly, I haven't finished them!
In fact, the paper I just finished is the one on the culture of fear and democracy (and I threw in capitalism for a giggle).
I have one short paper to go and a plethora of topics from which to choose. I could write about anti-semitism, stastics of violence vs. perceptions of it, the movie Bowling for Columbine, Freeway shootings, reality tv as a proponent of fear.
I think I'm going to copy and paste in my mid term and shape that instead of writing something new. There is a question for this paper that is directly related to something else I've already written. So if I shape it, then I can be finished. Woudln't that be exciting?
OH! But writing about reality tv would be EASY. Even though if I did Bowling for Columbine, I have about 2 pages already written including the movie review I wrote for this class already.
Decisions, decisions.

How will you celebrate? You'd deserve some sort of celebration.

How easy would it be to write the rest of the number of pages you need for the paper?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good morning, people.
Happy birthday, amych!
Disturbing link of the morning: Five year old mother (contains a picture of a naked and pregnant five year old). The human body is messed up, man. As are humans.

Well, the question is NOT exactly the same, so it would require going back and reshaping. And frankly, that seems more of a pain in the butt than just plowing ahead on a different topic. In some ways, writing something NEW would be, at least, more interesting in the short term and possibly filled with more learning.
Ugh. I don't want to learn right now. I want to breakfast and shop and decorate our christmas tree.

From ita's link (WHY DO I FOLLOW THEM?!"
an obstetrician who took an interest in Lina Medina's case and authored a book about her in 2002 said that Lina was a psychologically normal child, that she displayed no other unusual medical symptoms, and that she preferred playing with dolls rather than her own child.
This is just so... sad and interesting. It seems to make perfect sense that a 5 year old would rather play with dolls than her own child becuase dolls can be forced to do things, where, one thinks, Lina wasn't able to do as she pleased to the baby she bore.

And sometimes easier than re-shaping something that already exists in order to fit into something else. At least to me.

yep. Which means I know what I should do, even if it is painful. As my tag notes, it's not hard, especially. Just painful right now cause it is so not what I want to do.
I think I'll shower since I do my best thinking in there. Then I'll go have breakfast and go shopping then come back and finish.
