"Say Good-bye, My Baby..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

So to-night I completed my Safe Zones training, which means I am certified to make my room a place where anybody who is gay, lesbian, bi, bi-curious, queer, questioning, pan, asex, intersex, or any particular part of the alphabet soup you want, is safe to come. I get a pink triangle to put on my door, a reference to the Holocaust when gay men had to wear a pink triangle on their clothes.

I am extremely proud of this fact. I don't think everyone will know what it means, and I don't think that many people will probably take advantage of the fact, but I'm just glad that I did it and can have that symbol of a place of refuge.

I haven't really been--communicative lately, on my LJ, which I am aware of. Sort of a combination of mental health issues, school, and social expectations has been extremely overwhelming. Anyway, I thought I should post that I've been re-diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder, and am currently being medicated for both (and I hate the anti-anxiety med, wah wah wah, it makes my eyes blur and gives me haaaangovers wah).

I am currently writing a paper about why Attila the Hun was the most awesome person ever for my religion class (as well as reading Journey to the West! :D :D :D); we presented our election projection lab project on Monday and got an A, despite the fact that I lost my temper halfway through and yelled at our lab leader in front of the whole class and the teacher. >_> I think this is mostly because Obama won and the teacher was feeling very soothed and happy about it.

I have a bunch of friends and a crush (don't tell!). My current assertion project is letting women know when I think they're beautiful, in the most non-creepy way possible. I am secretary of All Ways of Loving, our queer and allies club on campus. My third bio exam is on Wednesday and I am ready, finally, to ROCK THAT DAMN THING. I have a ninety overall grade in pre-calc and I think I can push it up with the next exam and the calculus assignments I finished. I need to write a paper about why Barack Obama won the election and I'm not looking forward to it. I finished my IA course with an A; I have an A in religion. I think I have an A in CWS. I have an appointment to meet with a tutor for bio on Monday next. Friday night I get to go to a Hungarian dinner.

I drink way too much diet Dr. Pepper, but OMG you guys I have started under certain circumstances to drink things with a caloric content (not something I willingly have done for about four years). I am on the living kidney donor list (as a last resort only :P).

And I think I am finally starting to accept that fact that people love me, issues and all.

You win. ♥ I suddenly feel like you grew up when I wasn't looking.

And I haven't read Journey to the West, but I have a musical based on it! :D Want it?

♥ so that made me feel a little melty inside.

...are you serious? There's a MUSICAL?

[bewareofitalics]

You're melting, melting! Oh, what a world, what a world... ;)

I think there are two, actually! But I only have one. You can download the concept recording from their website! :D Unless it isn't working anymore, in which case I can upload it, eventually.

Who'd think a little Lillie like you could destroy my beautiful solidness?

Wow. That is--incredible. XD

Sorry, ma'am, just trying to save my friend here from burning to death!

*beams* I have no idea how faithful or brain-breaky it is, I'm afraid...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, honestly. That's what they ALL say.

We'll see once I finish. XD

[bewareofitalics]

Fine, you caught me. I melted you on purpose as part of my plan to take over the wooooooorld!

You simply must let me know. :D And I should read it one of these days...

Dammit. I have got to start reading the manual.

XD I'll send you my copy when semester ends.

[bewareofitalics]

Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!

Or I could go to the library!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

:P

...Well, okay, yes, that is always a potential solution.

Isn't Damon Albarn involved in one of them? Monkey: Journey to the West? Or is that something else?

It's not something else! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey:_Journey_to_the_West) My favorite British musician evar.

Now I'm wondering if that's the second one I was thinking of or if there's a third... *g*
