I'm going to name my daughter Lenore.

I feel like I probably look weird when I’m in the student center. I am always looking around at people and making weird faces at my computer. If I’m frustrated with my work I sometimes talk to myself. People probably think I’m pretty weird.

2 = two, not too
I don’t think I can date someone who can’t handle my obsessive attachment to The Hunger Games/never read it.
Nope. It would just be annoying for the both of us.
“When we are dealing with the police as an institutional structure, we are not dealing with a group of individuals acting on their own personal feelings and judgements, but rather, with a group of functionaries who have, as part of the terms of their jobs, agreed to set their personal opinions and feelings aside and instead act as obedient agents of the state… Thus, if we are referrig to “the police” as an institution, rather than the personal feelings of individual police, no, they are not “part of the 99%,” they are the enforcers of the 1%’s power.”

Jesus Saves!
I feel really badly about something I did about 20 minutes ago.
I was walking home down 9th street and these two people were standing on the street next to Chipotle, and they were handed out flyers. I always take flyers that people give me because I have had to do that before and it sucks. There was a man and a woman and the man was handing out little cards and the women was handing out a little booklet (probably a bible now that I know what it was about). The man handed it to me and I took it, but then before I took the thing from the woman I read the card. Huge on the top of the card was “Jesus Saves!”
I then said, “oh, no thanks” to the woman and gave the man back the card. I was just handing it back to him trying to be polite but it was really windy and it blew out of my hand so it kind of looked like a threw it back at him. oops.
Even though it is something that I believe in (not letting people push their religion on you. That and I don’t believe in God), I feel really badly about it. It wouldn’t have hurt me to just take it and they weren’t pushy about it or anything. Now I am letting the church people ruin my day because I feel so badly!
The justification that I am using is that it would have been a waste of paper for me to take it. I would have ended up just throwing it away at the first trash can. They need to give that shit to someone who cares and will read it.
Now I feel like I have to do something nice today to make up for it.
Oh well. I got a lot of shit to do today.
