"Welcome to Your Life..."

omg inauguration. I was-awfully charmed, especially when he stumbled over the swearing-in bit. I was also really extremely pleased that he acknowledged the existence of other religions besides Christianity. Classy move, sir! As was his refusal basically to go "look! I'm black! I'm a shiny!" which was what every single other person who spoke pretty much did. I mean. That is important, it is very important, but people talk about it a) as if it means 'yays racism is ded yays!' or b) like it supersedes all other reasons for electing him. I'm sure "yay! we elected an African American! another minority to tick off our scorecard!" was not really what they were trying to convey, but it's definitely what it sounds like. Whereas I don't think Mr. Obama mentioned the fact at all. I thought his speech was well-considered and not antagonistic and basically just--I was pleased. I was really pleased.

Also his kids are adorable.

In other news, very tired, very busy, very quite going mad, see doctor to-morrow, dyed my hair black again, have far too much to do, &c.

Also changed layout. >_> Because squids are so pritty! And I love them excessively.

For Bio Seminar I am working on a brief essay about why I am a bio/pre-med major, which if I'm satisfied enough with it I might repost it here, mostly for the sake of preserving it somewhere, also because thus far it's in essence paragraphed poetry. To-morrow I have Religion, which so far I am very enthusiastic about; Death and Dying, which Sweet God It Is Awesome and there may be long boring introspective posts regarding; O.Chem, which makes me tiffle.

So only three classes. So to-morrow I can start breathing again (fancy!). And I swear I will be on proper then, to those of you who are waiting so patiently while I fail at basic conversation/rp/misc. responsibilities. ilu.

Really? Does she have to read Kubler-Ross's incredibly annoying text which makes me want to poke holes in heads? Does she have to read DeSpelder's infinitely better text which for some reason somebody thought had to be supplemented by Kubler-Ross'? I NEED TO KNOW, TOM.

Just the way he grinned and everything. He was very conscious of self.

I missed that, probably because I was making fun of Dick Cheney at the time. XD

I... I have no idea. I'll email her!

He was totally nervous, but he was totally dealing with it.

DAVROS STRANGELOVE.

YOU MUST ASK.

Yes! Self-aware, that was the phrase I wanted.

LOLOLOLOL, TOM.
