Post 2 for the night

Ok so before I forget---happy almost September. So my friend posted these two links tonight to articles that made me REALLY upset. Not like the upset crying but the angry kind of upset. And I'll post them so you can view them at your discretion.

The first link:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/31/phoenix-pastor-draws-protests-telling-church-prays-obamas-death/

A pastor in Pheonix asked people to join him in praying for President Obama's death. A FUCKING PASTOR. So much for turning the other cheek. I mean seriously, who does this kind of crap? There are presidents that I have despised but I would never wish for them to die. How crazy is this guy? He views it as praying for 'spiritual warfare', not killing. Are you kidding me dude? No wonder you're getting death threats.

And the fact that he said "I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," is so far out of line. Ted Kennedy was one of the greatest politicians in the Senate. What have you done with your life? I really feel like he should go to jail, but that isn't how things work in the land of the free. It just really bothers me that a religious figure, such as this pastor, is publicly giving interviews about this. I mean if you don't like him, you don't like him. But don't preach for his death. Ughh; I can't deal with this guy anymore...onto the next bozo


The second link:


http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/in_thesis_mcdonnell_slammed_gays_unwed_mothers_and.php?ref=fpblg


Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for VA governor, slams gays and un-wed marriages. He thesis is pretty much an anti-gay, anti-gender equality movement. He attacks women for working outside the home, claiming they shouldn't be so materialistic with their American Dream. He also attacks gays, and is not willing to give them the same equal rights(or anyone for that matter)that is not a traditional family. Jesus. Talk about a right wing extremist. We CANNOT have this guy as the governor of Virginia. He obviously is still living in the past--which is now just a fantasy that women cannot work and gay people should be ostracized. Welcome to 21st century America dude. Get rid of your 19th century mindset and turn your time machine to the present. things are changing. Gay marriage is legal in some states. We have a black president, and a WOMAN Secretary of State....the third one, actually.

Rip off your security blanket and embrace the change, because it's going to happen. You can either join the movement or get trampled by it.

Collegeeee

Finally, welcome week is over! Huzzah! :D Classes start tomorrow except not for me, because I don't have classes Tuesdays or Thursdays. So one more day of finding ways to fill my time. So we had this sexual assault info meeting today where one lady informed us on how easy it was to get raped, etc. and she told her story. It was sad. But she and her friend were really awesome and funny, and they definitely broke people's comfort barriers :)

Becca goes "If you're going to have sex it shouldn't be something you're embarrassed about! You should have MIND-BLOWING sex that makes you want to stand up after you're done and shout BAMMMMM!"

Yeah, she actually said that. Then nothing super eventful happened for a bit...I bought 2 more books for school, putting the total cost just over $600.

Then Fiesta Bingo at 9! :D I knew I wasn't going to win anything but it was still good :]]]]]]]]]]]]]

I still have to finish this paper, lol. It's getting better though, I'm getting closer and closer to being done lol

Tylenol, Twinkies &the Beer Puzzle

This was the name of possibly THE greatest sessions of my life. It was an info session on the college life and how people don't realize just how deadly tylenol and beer are and like all that stuff. The lady doing it was really good, and REALLY funny. She gave the greatest sex talk of my entire life, no joke. She put a condom on the microphone she was using and told us that condoms remind her of little elf hats. I'm not making this up.

She refers to sex as 'that wet n wild thing' and told us "if it's wet and it's not yours, don't touch it."

Then she was telling us about how this girl had a condom stuck in her vagina and had to go to the emergency room to get it taken out. The NP said she called over to tell the ER people that the girl was on her way, and the lady at the front desk was like "oh well we've had 3 of those this morning" wtf?!?!? I would be SO embarrassed to go to the emergency room for that. Eek!

There were lots more funny things from that session, but they are not PG-13, so I won't post them =P

Oh! And did you know that one box of twinkies has a shelf life of 27 years? That's amazing and slightly disgusting at the same time.

That's all for now :)

Welcome Week

So move in yesterday was pretty good, and everything yesterday was alright. I couldn't get my internet to work until just now. 7:52 the day after. Thank god it's up now lol. Welcome week needs to be over. This whole 'let's jam-pack your day with meetings and info sessions' is getting old. Classes need to start. I want to be busy and make friends. Classes start Tuesday but I don't even have them until Wednesday =/ *sigh*

Books cost almost $600, and I didn't even get them all.

I can't think of anything interesting to say right now; I miss my niece. Time to go do homework, and then see the acrobats from Kenya

The Sloaner, Wisdom Teeth, and Sophia

What a day. So this morning Sloane came over. I fucking love that girl. We had so much fun :) Then i went to the dentist. Man, talk about some bad news. So basically I have to get my wisdom teeth out ASAP, because theyre growing in horizintally, not vertically. AKA the top of the tooth in a molar that breaks through your gum that you can see...like the top part of the tooth...yeah, well, those are the SIDES of my wisdom teeth. No wonder they hurt :(

On the flip side I got new glasses today :D Meet Sophia. She helps me see when i do not have contacts in :]


Oh and by the way, Northern Virginia drivers make me fucking crazy. They need to learn how to drive.

Tomorrow is my last day in Woodbridge but I still have so much left to do! TTFN

2 More Days

Two more days until I leave for college! :D I still have soooo much stuff to do though, it's slightly ridiculous. The agenda for today: Sloane comes over in the morning while I continue to pack, dentist appointment, call HP, hang out with Angry, pack some more. i know that doesn't seem like alot but I'm not adding in all the distractions that happen during the day, lol.

Ever since I was little I've had this giant fear of going to the dentist, and I do not know why. And the fact that they're never nice to me doesn't help.

But tomorrow.................Sam and Becky come over!!! :D And hopefully Ben too, lol


That's it for now, it's only 8:19 in the morning, so I'm still not really comprehending anything.

Hello Oswald

Meet Oswald. He's my new desk lamp. Oswald is going to help me do my homework this year at Bridgewater. So last night I got the perfect pair of jeans at Nautica, and then Oswald. That was after a day in DC with Erica. It was fun. In the morning we went to The Holocaust Museum but we left early because once we hit the room with the shoes I started throwing up, and Erica saw her family's name on the wall.

So this past weekend was another Pittsburgh wedding! Tom and Jenn's wedding! It was cool. Friday night I went out with a bunch of family and was the only one that didn't have a drink. A cousin of mine had a few too many though, and was HILARIOUS. I always have fun with my family :)

Saturday = weddinggggggg! The church was really pretty, as was Jenn's dress. *gorgeous!*

There are parts of the reception that I can't remember, haha ;) That was pretty much the weekend. Fun times.

I'll post some picture from the wedding.

4 more dayssssssssssss :D
