Blog-- oh how I miss thee

It's been far too long. I know interesting things have happened but I can't think of anything right now-- damn I hate blogging after a long break.

The reason for the prolonged absence is-- school-- what else? I have been very much annoyed lately at the amount of work. If you give someone a research paper ahead of time so they can work ahead, what is the point of giving them more papers in the meantime? Yeah I can totally work on your three papers all at once, not to mention all the other crap I have to do. Lame lamoid lameness.

Halloween was a huge let down. Tyler and I were so busy we couldn't find time to carve pumpkins or even BUY a pumpkin. I had to go to the fun costume party on my own because Tyler was too busy working to even come out. Then I couldn't even stay at the fun costume party that long because I was too exhausted. I went home still in my witch costume and made mac and cheese, I was literally standing in my kitchen, in witch-getup with a broom, boiling water--- that's halloweenie... but only if I was about to boil bats and brew bad thing. Kraft mac and cheese is not so much witch-ie :)

A job fair is coming up soon and I'm thinking of taking time off school to run down to Fargo for it. At this point since I'm graduating in December, a job seems a bit more important than sitting in class.

Another thing taking up a considerable amount of time right now is a pro-choice demonstration I'm planning at UND. I honestly don't remember how this wild idea happened. I've thought for years that I should do something like start a pro-choice student organization but when do I decide to actually do it?-- Oh yeah, 45 days before I graduate.

The big day is Monday-- day before the big S.D. election so we're showing solidarity with all our pro-choice counterparts who are fighting the good fight down there. I came across a really great, powerful short film called "The Exception" on You Tube-- only 4 minutes long, it shows a possible situation that could happen in S.D. if people allowed something like this abortion ban to go through.

Planning this I've had several moments of panic-- what if people throw things at us? What if no one wants to help me etc. But so far 70 people have joined our group and I talked to campus police so we should have help if anyone wants to throw things. I hope not but I'm ready. The pro-life side is statistically more apt to be violent-- kinda ironic huh? But dangit we have the right to say our piece. I put up with the pro-life display a few weeks ago and that was just insulting-- they had a "cemetery for the unborn" with graves marked by little crosses--- I guess all unborn babies are Christians??

Whatever-- political rant-- I need to stop- I have a whole 'nother blog for that business :) But I am proud of what we're doing and will post photos after we demonstrate. Hopefully we will have a good day!

PS: Brian... I love you for noticing me when I'm gone :)
