Most of you who read my blog know that I love the blog done by blogger Twisty Faster at Iblamethepatriarchy.com. Twisty just has so many amazing things to say about Feminism and just life in general. She gives me a good laugh just about every time I look at her blog.
Anywho, not long ago I commented quickly about her dog, asking a little more about it and today I received a nod from Twisty.
She actually read my comment and commented on said comment in one of her blogs. It was amazing. Ridiculous but amazing. Anyways, here is her page and the blog mentioned if you want to read it:

Recycle DAMMIT!
I love recycling. I feel so accomplished whenever I do even the smallest thing to help out the world that I live in and pollute almost ever minute without even meaning to. Life is hard, times are tough, and I will do as much as I can at this point in my life to keep the earth cleaner and safer. I want kids someday so I have to keep the world in good shape for them too! :]
I try my best to just do what I can, tell people along the way how to help, and just mind my business while doing what I have set out to accomplish, but I get really upset when people don't recycle when it is so easy and they just chose to be lazy.
How hard is it to put soda cans and plastic bottles in the blue trash can instead of the black? How hard is it to take the two seconds to look at the side of your cereal or snack box, see the recycle symbol and then dump it into the recycle trash can? NOT HARD AT ALL! I just feel like if you live on the planet you should do that little bit at least to make sure that it runs somewhat smoothly and in good condition.
No matter what we do, no matter how clean the air is, or how small the landfills are, there will always be hatred, violence, and war. The least we can do the keep the world clean for the future and for ourselves is recycle, be conscious about how we are living, and do our part to live as green as we can.
I mean, dammit people, you are already paying the crv for cans and bottles, you can cash it in for MONEY, or at least RECYCLE IT, PERIOD!
The time to live GREEN is NOW! Recycle, Try to cut down on driving, and Don't buy foods heavily sprayed with pesticides. It is that easy to start our world off on the path to a brighter, greener future.

Lucifer, Truly Living up to Her Name
Today had its high points and it's long points. The only real, major blow worth mentioning is the backstabbery and bitchiness of the one I know not-so-fondly as Lucifer. You all know to whom I am referring.
This morning, I woke up tired and groggy. I was not excited to face the day ahead, but I found solace in knowing that today my wonderful boyfriend and I have been together for exactly one year and four months. I am usually not very sentimental and mushy but with him, I always am. Almost every day of our one year and four months together has been amazing. So today, I was very excited to be able to look back and think of all the amazing times we have spent together. Then he called me and that idea was soon crushed.
While standing beside John Burroughs High School at 7:15am, in a purple tulle tutu no less, my darling Evan called to inform me that his sister, the low-life of all low-lives..had finally done something that I thought even she would not try. She had done a big fat TATTLE.
To make a long story short, she told Evan's already crazy and overbearing mother that her little boy might actually be serious about leaving her and the nest someday. His mother's pea-sized brain then just about exploded with just one thought," THIS CANNOT HAPPEN! WHO WILL LOVE ME WHEN HE HAS GONE? NO ONE! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!"
Evan's mother then proceeded to march into his room and tell him that if he was even thinking about marrying me before he was a few years done with college, she and the family would DISOWNS HIM!! Yes, I was not quivering in fear over this small, ridiculous comment, but my poor innocent Evan was. She had him scared that she would disown him and leave him with nothing.
This situation with Evan and his mother has not yet been resolved and I will follow up when it does, but all I can think about through all of this is Lucifer, disgusting Lucifer and her attempts to stop my boyfriend from being happy for even an instant.
Lucifer knew that the moment she went to her mother, Evan would be punished. "How did you know this?" you may ask. I know this because Lucifer had once been in the exact same situation. Even foul, detestable, putrid Lucifer had once had love. Lucifer tried to leave the nest and punished gravely. She and her once love did not marry and she remains unmarried and unhappy. Seeing that her baby brother of 16 years was happy and wanted the same thing she once wanted, wouldn't you think that she would want to protect him? No, she only cares about herself. She wants him to suffer just like she did. She is scum and should be treated as such.
She just fears that we will be married before she is, which is probably the truth, but what kind of person back-stabs their own family for no reason other than to feel a little bit better themselves, even when the person did nothing to them? Lucifer does this.
She will never be happy. She is not worthy of happiness. And I wish her just that, unhappiness for as long as she walks alone on this earth. She is the pebble in my shoe but she will not keep me down, make me stumble, or keep me from walking through my life happily. She will not do this to me or my wonderful Evan. We will rise and she will fall. Good always conquers over Evil. And there are none more evil than her.

John Lautner
Yesterday I went and saw the "Between Earth and Heaven" exhibit at the Hammer for John Lautner and it was fantastic! John Lautner was an architect who created amazing houses and buildings with great lines that let you see both in the house and out.
Most of his structures used lots of glass, like whole walls of glass that would look out onto picturesque views of valleys and rivers.
He exhibit had all his sketches as well as full models of a few of his most famous structures and they are all really amazing. You can also watch the videos that are projected onto the wall to get an in depth look and tour of the actual structure.
The exhibit is really worth going to see so you should try and see it before it leaves on October 12th.

Consumer Driven World
I have decided, I am tired of buying so many thing and feeling like I am contributing to the idea that this society has that you need to constantly buy all the newest thing and keep up with the Jones's. I just want to live a life that I can be proud of, knowing that I am not being gluttonous or wasting money frivolously. Now that I am all set up with school clothes and supplies, I am ready. I am going to try and not buy anything at all, until the SEPTEMBER!
I will not:
-buy new clothes
-buy new gadgets
-go to any salons
-buy new makeup
-buy anything but food
-eat out!
I am not going to spend any money. I am not going to fuel the crazy economy and the need our society has to buy crap we don't need. I am really looking forward to this!

Pet Name Pet Peeves
I think a pet name now and then is great: Baby, Honey, Darling, Babe, Sugar Lips, etc.
But doesnt it feel good, once and while to just have them say your name? Signifying that they are talking to YOU, that they mean YOU, and that the washed up old pet name is one thing but that they love YOU YOU YOU.
Guys saying, "I love you baby", gets old after awhile. You want to hear them proclaim that they love YOU, not "baby". Because your name is you and baby is whoever, anyone can be called that, be addressed by that. You don't even know who else they may have called that.
Sometimes it is just so good to be addressed by the one you love as your name.

Promises and Love
It would appear that I am not keeping good to my promise. Very sorry for not writing more, my time has been so limited.
Its funny how people make and break promises so easily, I guess its just knowing what promises are important enough to keep.
Like, when people say their vows, promising to have and hold, honor and cherish, why don't people take promises like that more seriously? Those seem a lot more substantial than promising to be BFFs Forever! I just wish people would remember to take care of one another and love each other to the best of their ability.
I think its such a shame that people cant seem to stay married and so many of the couples who do stay married aren't even happy together. They stay together for their kids, to keep good face with their families, or to not be another statistic. I cant understand how people fall in and out of love with each other so fast.
So much of the time, I think people assume that the other person has changed or has wronged them somehow, making it okay to severe the ties between the two, but love is such a conscious choice. you have to choose to love people. Life is hard and it seems like it is impossible to see over people's flaws and love them, but you have to! You have to choose to love them! You have to fight for love between two people.
I just hope that people start to see that love is important and worth having and taking care of. I just want everyone to strive to love the person next to them, because if we all just chose to love just a little bit more..life would be so much more bearable and worth living.

School
I am finding that the best thing about school is new school year clothes shopping. It is just the best feeling to be getting rid of any old clothes that you dont want for a brand new set. So far Ive gotten:
4 new shirts
2 new bras
10 new pairs of underwear
and 3 new pairs of shoes!
I still have so much to get. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
