Ignorance

I was just winding down and going to bed, when I was closing facebook and saw a feminist post. I am a feminist so I clicked on it, but I wish I hadn’t. It was about abortion, and the comments on it were mostly awful, I mean, there are so many ignorant people out there, and I honestly became quite upset reading their responses. It probably doesn’t help that I was reading http://not-homophobic-but.tumblr.com/ earlier today, and was therefore a bit riled up already.

I just am really very upset with the arguments pro-lifers provide for the most part. Also the way people talk about feminism, and the way people justify using words like gay as slang.

I just can’t even deal with it, I’m so tired.

Please don’t ever talk to me about politics or feminism or human rights or abortion or any of it when I’m tired, it’s too frustrating.

I mean, how can people say, everything is equal now, how can they convince themselves that is true?

fASDKFASKDLFSKDFSDKF I need sleep, goodnight.

Please read the following on the difference between being a fetus and being a human being. If even one of you reads it I might feel a little better. I mean, what can be done besides one person at a time learning and gradually understanding.

This is what happens when you run a robotics team made up of 10th-grade boys…

HAHAHAHAHA

Just imagine a class of 140 people that contains 120 boys. You’d think they’d grow up by university but alas…. Engplay is hillarious at least.

Also, James, I can never figure out how to reblog stuff from your layout, always haveta go to the archives :/

I don’t get this slang at all.

I think I may be growing up.

*gasp*

Finals are fast approaching…

so I’m making another no tumblr/facebook pact. As much as I would love to be posting pictures of movember, prof quotes, the ridiculous antics of my my friends and looking at photos, liking/hearting things, reading poignant revelations, and in general be amused/inspired/shocked by the internet  it simply cannot happen for the next while. A few minutes online now and then is fine by all means but seeing that I can’t seem to limit to that I’ll talk to you all around Christmas time – when I’ll hopefully post some creations and some ramblings on mixed up feelings. Oh yeah, for good measure I’ll toss xkcd, stumbleupon, the daily what, mlia, blogs other then tumblr and fml on to the no go list, in order to ensure true productivity. Games on the internet and off of phones are also prohibited. Postsecret, however, will still be allowed since that’ll be a nice 5 minute break on Sunday. Breaks will still be allowed but they will not be online.

Responsibility, oh joy.

Parameters. Setting them is good. (Except in Linear Algebra – then they’re just a pain)

Anyways, happy finals everyone!

Some thoughts on friendship

As difficult as it is to admit, I am finally realizing it is impossible to maintain relationships with every cool person I meet. There are SO MANY outstanding individuals, with unique interests, qualities, strengths and opinions who I enjoy talking to and spending time with out there. Having meaningful relationships takes up a good chunk of time and energy, and I only have so much time and energy. So, I’m learning losing touch with someone doesn’t reflect badly on either of you, it doesn’t mean you dislike each other, or you’ve grown apart, or really anything, it just demonstrates how hard to maintain many relationships at once, no matter how incredible the people you’ve met are, especially if there’s  a lot of distance between you. On the other hand, this large world is also a small world, and I believe time will bring you together with at least some of those people again in the future. Even though, I suppose, the longer you live the more fantastic people you’ll have a chance to meet with and connect with. I guess I’m trying to say that all connections between people are valuable, even ones that aren’t followed up with long term friendships. Those relationships make some of the best memories. It’s okay to let go of people, it’s okay to let go period, and that is something I need more practice at (a lot more practice). It also makes the friendships that you maintain all the more special; your energy and time is precious, and choosing to invest it in each other is a special thing, a type of honour you’re bestowing each other with. Plus it’s easy to reconnect with things like facebook, although investing too much of your time and energy into the program/network itself, instead of actual people is good to avoid. It always makes me feel icky to do that, so I’m trying to cut back, and spend my time doing more constructive things, and investing my energy in things I actually care about.
