I still have not acquired the proper equipment to connect the digital camera to my computer therefore limiting my usage of the camera and also not allowing me to publish pictures online. I am to blame for this problem. Please do not email my assistant. He/She is not to blame.
(I really do not have an assistant. The use of the word is for dramatic affect only)

This blog is dedicated to yesterday. It was my good friend Anne’s Birthday and well that is all that matters.
Oh, and my Partner and I got to have dinner with some friends last night…yep I just said friends.

I must apologize for the fact that I have not written in a month. In all that time, I have moved and am now living in PA. It is crazy how life works. The latest update is that I am now Rat tail free, living with my partner in the tiniest apartment not made for two people and also am realizing that sexism is something that controls every single move I make everyday. It has been a hard transition living in a new place and missing my very good friends that I have made over the years in Indiana but I am on to new adventures and still have those people in my life.
I will not try and write everyday. I also will start posting all the different events that have taken place with some visual media.
New adventures lead to more knowledge!

I am moving out of Indiana in 3 days. Really 2, due to the fact that I leave Saturday morning. A life changing event is about to take place and I am still in shock. It will be bittersweet for me and yet the excitement is great. I have a plan.
This week my rat tail will come to an end and that will be another bittersweet moment for me.
Feminism I have realized is a true passion of mine. I am the person I am because of this factor.
I will not be writing for a few days more than usual because of the move. Post comments!

I am finally getting people interested in subleasing my apartment. I hope that it works out because I really cannot afford to pay rent there all year.
Apartment gods, please let this work out! Thank you in advance!

I hear by confess that today I bought soup and a roll from the HTM Cafe on campus. I also requested it “to go” meaning that it was contained in Styrofoam and the utensils were made of plastic.
I apologize for my mistakes. Please forgive me planet Earth!

A bus full of college students trying to get to campus on time, which apparently is not happening due to the fact that the bus was late.
Next stop…
This elderly man comes on the bus and someone has to give up there sit for him. He comes in and immediately starts discussing the Purdue Football Team and how if they make it to Rose Bowl he is going no matter what the price of the ticket.
Please consider your imagination for a second…a really elderly man, about 5′9, with a Grateful Dead hat on his head, and a cute little 80’s button down.
Right in that moment I realized that I do want to grow old, probably not to see the Rose Bowl happen at Purdue, but to see other amazing events all over the world.
The joy of tiny moments that in some way, shape my life.

I am frustrated with my ability to put off things so much that it hurts me in the end.
For instance, the fact that I have not finished reading Harry Potter due to my own mind telling itself that if I keep holding off finishing the book the Harry Potter series will not end for me.
Packing is going so slowly. I still haven’t found a Sub-leaser for my apartment.

I have been traveling a lot lately. Not traveling to different countries or anything to that extent but I have been driving a whole lot back and forth from Chicago to my location of residence and to places among Indiana. The driving gives me time alone to think and just be myself in the car. It makes me feel better about a lot of things that are spinning through my head right now.
Something today that sticks out, that I might go for a drive about, is the fact that everyone is a damn critic. People other than yourself, who think they know you, love to make comments. Maybe it is the way it is said that gets me all crazed.
Today I also noticed how paper is wasted all the time. Every time I use the bathroom, I have to use paper to “wipe” away the waste, which then creates more waste. People just throw out paper that could be recycled, i.e. junk mail. Most of all, around the Purdue Campus where you can never find a fucking recycling container, there are always papers on the floors. The Exponent today put a mini-movie poster of a new movie coming to theatres. When people grab the newspaper all the lost papers fall out and are all over the campus. Hmm, maybe that is the point of having them in there, so that someone like me look at the paper. All I know is that this is particularly pestering me at the moment.
What more ranting can I do? The fact that every time I turn on the radio I hear sexism everywhere and people do not even notice because it is so instilled in our culture. The fact that my rat tail is somehow a “guy hairstyle”.
I believe that somehow this ranting will help as I sit here in the cold and quiet mail room. Maybe I should just go for a drive!

Operation Rat tail is in full force for the next 2 weeks. It is almost over. It will go away before I leave for PA, I think? I don’t know; I am getting attached.
I would also like to thank Anne for pointing out my grammar mistakes! I really need to work on them.
