That was fast

About 30 minutes after writing my "Dear Santa" blog I walked into class in time to hear my professor say "I'm gonna give you guys an extra week to do your term paper. That'll give alot of you a little free time before finals."

Yessssss... free time. Thank you, Professor Falcioni and Santa Claus. You dudes are awesome.

Dear Santa

This year for Christmas I want:

• More free time
• More money
• Fewer hours at work
• A cell phone that functions properly
• Cuddle time by a fireplace
• The coffee bean near Ontario Mills to open back up
• Cute shoes
• Unyielding optimism

Thanks,

Crys

Hachoo.

Goodbye kidney infection. Hello WORST SINUS INFECTION EVaRRRRR! My nose burns from blowing my nose so goddamn much. My throat is sore as hell and covered in eewy sickness. I sound like a frog. Still have to write paper. Still have to work at Jumping Jacks from 5-10. Still have to work UPS from 10-2. Still gonna keep on truckin.

I'm sure I'll eventually take the hint from my body that I'm not taking good enough care of myself :]

Until then, BRING ON THE POSITIVITY!

Protest Prop 8 This Weekend

Most of the people I know that voted Yes on Prop 8 don't hate gays, they just don't want to include them in the "sanctity of marriage." When making signs, I hope people will focus on the love portion of these rallies as opposed to the "hatred" from opposers. I think that the best way to convince people that gay couples deserve the same rights as straight couples is to show them that love is love regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. A large percentage of prop 8 supporters are afraid of what they don't understand. They were brought up to believe certain things about homosexuality and by calling them hate mongers or bigots you're cementing into their heads just how different and distant homosexuals are from them. That shouldn't be the case. We should be showing them that homosexuals are normal people... They aren't out and about trying to "convert" people or have lots of crazy sex in public places.

Remember that the point of all of this is lift the gay marriage ban, not to show the world how ignorant homophobes can be. Don't fight hate with hate.

I do it for the LULz

My mom's birthday dinner was HILARIOUS. Leave it to Natalie to bust out the flask in the woman's bathroom. And leave it to my mom to take the bait and chug rum from said flask. Now I know where I got my iron stomach from. We had a good night of drinks and dancing.

Moral of the story: My mom can outdrink yours!

Ignorance at its best.

Hey 52% of California! Good job showing the world how hypcritical you can be. I really liked the part where you guys gave a bunch of CHICKENS extra room to spin because you felt that they should be treated HUMANely. I can't wait for egg prices to go up and that salmonella outbreak to happen. That'll be awesome. Oh! But, I was just wondering, why not take that HUMANity that you like so much and apply it to fellow HUMANS first? You know, basic stuff like... I don't know... marriage? Freedom of choice? 

Ridiculous. I'm not disappointed that Obama won but I'm not overjoyed, either. I didn't think it was possible to hate a candidate's supporters without hating the candidate... until now. People got entirely too obnoxious about this election. Especially democrats. I hate that there's millions of ignorant, unintelligent people walking around the country thinking they're hott shit for "knowing" who the right candidate was. That's bullshit. You probably didn't know JACK about Obama OR McCain. You probably heard all your friends talking about how Obama was the "change that this country needed" and decided that was enough for you.

I couldn't walk into a classroom without people talking shit about republicans. Did the republicans speak up? Fuck no, they'd get torn a new asshole because there's so many ignorant democrats with ridiculous arguments that you walk away from thinking "Wtf did they just say? How do you even respond to that?" All they probably heard were soundbites from passing by a news broadcast and assumed they were experts on Obama's foreign policy.

 I saw more "fad democrats" than legitimate democrats. Especially in people under the age of 25. It was SO cool to be democrat and support Obama. I've never been more disgusted with my generation. They should have given a written exam on the candidates' policies before allowing anyone to vote for them. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE VOTING FOR. It's not a hard concept to understand.

I'm not bashing Obama's potential to change this country nor am I discrediting the democratic party as a whole. I'm just glad this shit-storm is over so that we can move on and start acting on what's been said.

*Note: I'm not a republican. I was non-partisan throughout the entire election watching both parties make fools of themselves.

Kids do the darndest things

My 4 year old cousin stuck a dime up his nose earlier today. He went up to his dad and said (direct quote from his wise little mouth): "Daddy, I stuck a dime in my nose and I can't get it out. I don't know why I did it... but I won't do it again." 

Hahahaha... poor child. I will never let him live this down. They eventually got it out with tweezers. He was just scared shitless that they'd make him go to the doctor.

Cute shit.
