Our term paper

I have 4 pages written...BUT I am not sure I am actually writing it correctly. Ya know? I mean I could drone on and on about my theories of bumper stickers and what not and draw connections to why people feel the need to express themselves in anyway possible, but is that what she wants? We need to all get together somewhere and just vent or something. It's gonna suck when this class ends.

You guys are way further on your term paper than I am then.

Are we supposed to bring a hard copy of what we have for tomorrow??

Yeah, of what we have.

Groovy. Mine is all outliney and whatnot. It is jumbled and all over the place so hopefully she is cool with that...for now.

Oh, CRAP!

I get the feeling that I am being an "overachiever" except we are all supposed to have SOMETHING down.

I've got a sheet of paper with an outline for an outline and ideas and such, hope that's enough

I am sure she is expecting 3/4 of us to have nothing.

I have really random ideas. Hopefully, I'll have something to say by tomorrow.

Yeah, I am so bogged down with this damn novel I have to read for this other class that I haven't gotten much down yet. Guess I am not getting any sleep tonight.

Yeah I have to read a really difficult paper that my Philosophy of Mind professor wrote and then turn in a paper arguing against my prof. Intense.

I am wading through Fielding's Tom Jones, 871 pages of glorious fun. Actually, the book isn't really all that bad, its just really long and sometimes difficult to decipher what he means.

I don't have anything down...
I had to buy the book since our states great book holding institution didn't have any copies that weren't checked out in ANY schools in GA.
This is so not kosher.

Good class discussion today guys. I actually do like that idea - quoting each other as scholary sources. That's er, kind of sticking it to the man?

I have an interesting tidbit that applies to both Heath and Daniel's papers:

The 2004 presidential elections were heated and polarizing. That goes without saying. I was a junior in high school then and the small liberal minority there decided to form a Young Democrats of Parkview club. It was a very informal gathering and we didn't really do anything.

Dr. Roth (you remember her Christopher) was our faculty sponsor, she was also the sponsor of the Gay/Lesbian/Transgendered alliance. These were seperate clubs but membership inevitabely overlapped although like I said before neither organizations were particularly proactive. We were more like a support group; you know, just there to reassure each other that we existed in that flood of Abercrombie & Fitch, UGA (pronounced "ooh-gah") proto-fratmosphere of hyper-inflated shit weed, roofies and borderline paedophilic "teachers" and I use the term loosely for a lot of the faculty although to be fair a couple of them were real gems.

*ahem* I digress. Sorry, but I really hated Parkview.

The point I'm driving at is: one of the outted young Democrats had a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker on her car (a modest pre-owned Honda I think) and she had her car (but not her tires, thankfully) slashed by unknown assailants.

The school security did nothing. Neither did the administration.

Something to think about.

Don't try to demonize the so called Republicans or Conservatives. Many of the people that vote that way (if they vote) do so because their parents did/do and because they are uneducated good ole boys. I do not condone the slashing of tires or keying of cars because they have a certain sticker or else I would have scratched NUMEROUS cars at GSU. The people that did it are just stupid and looking to get a rise.

I don't need to try, their actions speak for themselves :p

Let us say that in the course of politicking events can spiral into something ugly, and normal reasonable people can turn into utter dickwads. If these people were dickwads already, then its like they just got a freaking mushroom powerup of douchebaggery.

SO Term Paper is due in less than 24 hours, but i have determined that i win. I have found a quote that I am using in the paper which has the phrase "cultural zeitgeist" in it. So, top that Qing.

"BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!!!!!! (He-Man 13)"

Speaking of He-Man...I saw Iron Man...it was AWESOME. PS, I emailed my paper off at 4. Free(ish) at last, free(ish) at last, good GOD almighty I am free(ish) at last!
