The Land Where Thousands of Little Girls Channel Houdini

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Oh, they channel Houdini alright. The best disappearing act you’ve ever seen. They simply waste away to nothing and then poof, they’re gone. This is so sad. I think our country must be a very immoral place, to have a culture that inculcates such struggles. Not that I think it is only about being thin; […]

The Article Above Didn’t Exaggerate.

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

I did some googling and found this. How tragic. The scariest thing is that there was a time when I believed some of this stuff. I didn’t go online and talk about starving myself over it, but I believed some of it.
The Thin Commandments

1. If you aren’t thin you aren’t attractive.
2. Being thin is more […]

Church for the Media Age

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

I’m sorry but this is just going too far. I mean, it’s just plain silly. If you really don’t want to hear the message that much, then don’t come to church!

I’m Tired And It’s All Good…Either That Or It’s All God.

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Take a deep breath and realize how crazy-cool it is that we’re here, alive on this strange earth, spinning wildly and orbiting the sun at unbelievable speeds. All-nighters are kind of cool when you think about it. Watching the sun come up out your bedroom window.

Memorial to What Might Have Been

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

I just want to take a moment on this great Memorial Day to remember the part of me that died when I became what I am today. That huge array of pieces of potential that were tossed aside when history came into being and one particular event was selected– over and over again, all leading […]

The Queen of Dork-dom

Monday, May 30th, 2005

“I can’t wait until I figure out what’s wrong with me / So I can say this is the way that I used to be / There’s no substitute for time.”
-John Mayer, “Split Screen Sadness”

My dad told me once that when he was eight years old, he looked back at when he had been five […]

Dying in Darfur

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

Today I coordinated my first demonstration. It was totally cool. A bunch of us gathered at Tangeman University Center and set up a couple of tables, where we had literature to help educate people about the genocide in Sudan, petitions to sign, sample letters to write to your congress(wo)man or President Bush, and green ribbons […]

All Grown Up

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Tonight I signed a lease on my first grown-up apartment! Not like living in a sorority house. Nope. This place is gorgeous, with glossy hardwood floors and funny slanted ceilings in the bedrooms on the third floor and lots of character. I’m so excited! We’re allowed to move in June 1st. Pictures to follow in […]

Segment and Conquer

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

The theme song of Marketing students everywhere.
“This is a love attack I know it went out but it’s back
It’s just like any fad retracts before impact
And it’s just like fashion it’s a passion for the with it and hip
If ya got the goods they’ll come and buy it just to stay in
The clique
So don’t […]

Just Call Me Grace.

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Today during the 200-strong class that I TA for, I fell down the stairs in the big lecture hall in Lidner Hall.
Talk about embarrassing. Stupid feet.
