Testing one two three January 28, 2009

Am I the only one having problems posting on this site now?
Edit:  Yay, I can post again!  Would have been nice to have been able to do that for the last month or so.  I’m thinking of switching to mee.nu, because even if it’s a little DIY, at least I can actually post regularly.
*pouts*  I [...]

My name is Zombie-girl. Please, let me eat your brains. January 1, 2009

So, I’ve been pretty much dead for the last two months, mostly because I’m one of those college students who actually have to study a lot to get good grades.  Trust me, as I spent my non-class time studying multivariable calculus, I cursed those students hanging out at the pool, all of  whom were either [...]

Veteran’s Day 2008 November 12, 2008

So, it’s Veteran’s day, formerly known as Armistice Day, when the Great War ended ninety years ago.  I’ve not much to say – I’ve actually spent the whole day at classes, or studying for a managerial accounting exam – but I don’t think most of my classmates know the significance of the date (except for [...]

Affection from the government – is it worth that much? November 9, 2008

I should note how glad I am that I don’t live in California, and thus did not have to vote on Prop 8.  Because on one hand, I favor marriage equality – or rather, I think the government should just get out of the marriage business entirely – but on the other, I hate what [...]

post-mortem November 7, 2008

So the election is over, and the Republican party starts it’s implosion right on schedule.  The McCain campaign aides are trashing Palin like there’s a book deal on the horizon, the libertarians are blaming the social conservatives for this loss, and the social conservatives are staring at the libertarians and saying things like “what the [...]

THE ELECTION IS OVER! November 5, 2008

And we can all move past the horrors of the past two years of campaigning, thank god.
More to the point, we have chosen a new president.  Granted, it’s not the guy I voted for, but hey, that’s life.  Congratulations to Senator Obama, I hope you govern wisely and well.  I expect I’ll spend at least the [...]

Dorm Life, part one October 18, 2008

You know the best thing about living in college dorms?  At 2:30 in the morning, crazy drunk chicks will wake you up by running up and down the hall, tearing things off people’s doors and throwing it on the floor.  Classy move, guys, classy move.
And yeah, I know, drunk people do stupid things – but [...]

I live in a bubble. October 17, 2008

OK, the title is a lie.  I don’t live in a bubble.  I do live in Austin, though, which is almost as good in some ways.  I think it’s time for hilarious stories about my classmates and teachers!
As I mentioned before, we have three weeks to go before the election.  I had thought that the [...]

The last month is always the worst part, supposedly… October 15, 2008

So, the election is in three weeks.  I keep telling myself to soldier on, I’ve survived two years of this crap, I can survive another three weeks, can’t I?  Don’t be wuss, Elena!  But it seems so far away…and this campaign is so incredibly boring…
On the other hand, quite a few conservative pundits are jumping [...]
