We’re held together by invisible stitches. Sometimes, I think I hear them tearing. It could be in my head; or, maybe I want them to rip apart. I mean, I did once relate people to shoes, and how we can outgrow ‘em…
Whatever the case, note to self: get more friends, or become better recluse.

J.E.W. is easily one of my top 5 bands. No other band quite manipulates my feelings with every song like they do. They’re also a reigning influence for why I want to learn guitar.
You’ll sit alone forever If you wait for the right time What are you hoping for? I’m here, I’m now, I’m ready Holding on tight Don’t give away the end The one thing that stays...

"A" is for "Abortion," or, "Why I'm Pro-Choice"
Let me get this clear from the get-go: I do not condone abortion as a casual choice. I’ll leave the “when is a human a human?” debate alone, since I think it’s a grey, cyclic philosophical area. I do very much believe that consenting partners should know wtf they’re doing (i.e., sex), and should be responsible (i.e., condoms and/or birth control pills, preferably both...

The Bottom of the World (unfinished)
There once was a Girl who lived at The Bottom,
beneath The Surreal, near the Foggy Forgotten,
a careening chasm of a Careless Core.
She was quick with thoughts, but slow with actions
Too distracted by Dreams and Infertile Distractions,
those half-pigmented fragments of Self-Control.
She surrounded herself with Good Intentions,
But made no Marks, no Crude Indentions,
so, deeper she veered...

Viagra vs. Birth Control Insurance Coverage
So, I learned a fucked-up little fact today: most insurance companies would cover Viagra, men’s go-go gadget pill, but most insurance wouldn’t cover anything for birth control.
Did some investigating, and came across this gem of rationale:
Opponents of insurance coverage for birth control have two central arguments. One, the rise in premiums that would ensue if insurers covered all...

My first letter to a senator...
It’s not the most eloquent or moving, but it’s mine:
Senator Warner,
Please vote against the Personhood Bill.
I am appalled that women’s rights over their own reproductive systems are being so blatantly questioned and infringed on. While I agree that abortion should not be taken lightly, it should also not be outlawed. As a friend to rape victims and as a potential victim...

cruisecontrolforcool:
I got a very nice but very concerning email reply from Virginia state senator Dave Marsden, saying that he will try to defeat the anti-choice “personhood” bill that was passed in the House today, but he is worried about how many will join him.
PLEASE, Virginia pro-choice voters, find your district senator and contact them - call, email, anything - to ask them to vote...

The Constitution vs. the infamous Personhood Bill
Excerpt from a funny-but-freaky article (via Jezebel.com) that lists the possible constitutional conflicts of the Personhood Bill:
IV. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly...

Last night, I dreamed I was on the cast of "New...
I was a new teacher at Jess’s school, so she invited me over to her place to get to know me.
When I met Nick, there was an instant connection and Jess started getting antsy/jealous.
Sometimes, I REALLY hate waking up.
