It’s Thursday, so who cares?
Ask away!!!
do you ever wonder if people could watch your life on tv who they’d ship you with
Is it my history teacher?
Please be Whitty.
My lit class has already shipped me with this one girl I do not get along with… if only because I criticize her work lacking a definite message. She’s writing for the sake of writing, not because she has a story to tell, and it pisses me off!
How do you like this multiple times?
As a current Literature major, I’m printing this out and stapling it to my professor’s desk.

Random fact about you: I have about fifteen billion cells in my body. Those cells are made of molecules made of atoms that were forged in the fiery heat of a supernova eons ago and light-years away. Here they gathered, coalescing into a complex organic structure that is self-aware and ever-increasing in its awareness and intelligence.
I have risen from the ashes of dead suns
I am an Astral Phoenix.
Hey male atheists: check your fucking sexism and check your male privilege.
Richard Dawkins did a lot of good for atheism, but he’s still a sexist piece of shit who has sexually harassed women.
Amanda Marcotte (freethoughtblogs) made a great point about how when these things happen, we always think the best of the men and the worst of the women. And that is not okay.
Can we amend this to say “Hey men: check your…?” Men can be sexist and mean regardless of their theological views, and to heap this onto atheist men seems to be holding us to a higher standard than other men. (Is it because theistic men have a religious reason for their misogyny, and it’s simply that atheist men have no excuse?)
I do understand that this is about male representatives at a secular conference behaving inappropriately towards women, but please, if we’re going to call a group out on behaving poorly, let’s call out the entire group.
We’re All Susceptible
I’ve been having a really crummy week. I decided to go to my favorite Asian cuisine restaurant, and had a good meal. The fortune cookie came, and I cracked it open…
Empty.
I wanted to cry.
It’s funny; the things that’ll send you over the edge into just wanting to give up on everything.
My Superpower of Choice
Aerokinesis.
NO. NOT WEATHER POWERS.
Aerokinesis.
Pure and simple, the ability to change and manipulate nearby atmosphere. Oh, I know what you’re thinking: “So you want to make wind?” Oh no, my friend, aerokinesis can be much, much more.
Atmospheric movement - Yes, this is making wind, anywhere from a cooling breeze to a maelstrom of biblical proportions. We’ve all seen what can be done with wind via Storm in “X-Men” and Superman’s super-breath. There’s no need to go into further detail here.
Barometric manipulation - The changing of air pressure. Not something that immediately screams of crime-fighting usefulness, but bear with me. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is about 16 psi. If air were to be psychically compressed in a confined space, say up to 25 psi, a sudden release of that pressure would go off in a concussive force, which could knock down and/or disorient any antagonistic forces. Even better, if those forces were IN the highly-compressed area space when it was let loose, the sudden decrease in pressure would cause the dangerous and painful effects of the bends, effectively disabling them.
Sound and silence - Manipulating sound by vibrating particles in the air would be an excellent crime-fighting tool. Even better, by creating a thin “bubble” of vacuum around myself, I could move in effective silence.
Light refraction - Light bends when it transfers from one medium to another, such as going from the vacuum of space into atmosphere, and the “broken straw” effect in water glasses. By altering the index of refraction in of the air around a given object, light could be bent around that object, rendering it invisible, or conversely, making illusory objects.
Temperature - I can’t believe I almost forgot this one, but by thermally exciting air molecules, the ambient temperature in a room can be drastically altered. No need to go into detail here, because we all know what a sudden shift in temperature can do, what with thermal expansion/contraction.
No Victory
Regarding things I’m fully-informed on and passionate about, my opinions are unpopular, and thus cast aside.
Regarding things I’m not fully-informed on, I state that I’m not up-to-date on, accused of being purposefully ignorant, and thus cast aside.

What would be your idea of the perfect date?
A date where we could spend some quality time together doing something that would be considered an “uncommon” date. Screw dinner and a movie, I think the best date I’ve ever been on was when we went to the National Zoo on a Wednesday. The entire park was empty except for us, so we were first in line for all the exhibits, we were able to interact with some of the animals (the gorillas were the best) and afterwards, we went to the National Mall, and just walked up and down the lawns, talking away (we had planned to go to the National Science Museum, but it was closed for renovations at the time.) We really connected and got to know one each other, and that’s what dating’s all about, isn’t it?
