Hmm, Why is sexism everywhere?
l<– this is an ovary. put this in your profile if you know some stupid drama queen that needs her’s punched.
I just copied and pasted this from someone’s AIM account profile. It was at the bottom of the page and the 1 that you see is a pink dot on the profile.
Let’s think for a moment. Ok, time is up. How is this not sexist and falling into the stereotypes that is the face of our society?
What makes me even more upset is the fact that this was in a female’s profile. Should I be surprised?

Finally being an adult
Everyday I wake up, lay there for several seconds, finally get up, and eventually leave my apartment thinking that I am ready for the new day ahead. The minute I step outside, I am greeted by the wonderful trees, the beautiful fresh air, and some squirrels. I get into my car, drive my partner to school and then until recently, went back home and sat in front of the computer, put on NPR, and stared at my feline soul-mate.
Now, I have a new job and well, was on a week of Thanksgiving.
I realized so much from just a week. I realized that no matter how much my family might not agree with me or me not agree with them; they will be there. I realized that the friends I made in Indiana and the memories I have created there make me smile. I also realized that no matter how much you want to change, sometimes you just need to act.
My whole life my parents always told me that I would talk the talk but never walk the walk. I guess I did not understand until this moment. I have changed a lot over the last 2 years but one thing that I still have trouble with is taking the talk and putting it into action. You maybe can procrastinate on homework or filing some paperwork, but life never stops. Everyday we grow older, we make events, and we have to take the steps. No one can ever take them for us. I have taken many steps, even ones I was afraid of but at this very moment as I am typing into this space on the World Wide Web, I can feel my stomach turn because tomorrow is a new day and I keep asking myself;”Will I be able to finally walk the walk?”

First Day on the Job…
I started my new job today! I feel like this one will definitely help me figure out what I want to do in life. I am tired and about to go read some Monkey Wrench Gang. I will write more tomorrow so I can update about finishing the final installment of Harry Potter and life in a new place.
Oh, and did everyone hear? Dumbledore is gay!

Happy World Vegan Day!
Now, I am no extremist and PETA is not an organization for me but I do believe that being Vegetarian and/or Vegan can and will help the planet. November 1st is World Vegan Day
I am currently a vegetarian and so is my Partner. (Credits to my Partner for being a vegetarian for over 4 years) I do eat fish, which many cannot find Vegetarian but it is not a main staple of my eating. I am vegetarian because of the positive affects for my health and environmentally.
Point is, that everyone should take some type of challenge to themselves and stop eating meat for a month or maybe just a week. It can make a difference(*large thumbs up and a cheesy smiling face).
p.s.- October 1st is World Vegetarian Day
