And As I Finally Tried To Speak, Twelve Birds Flew Straightaways From My Mouth...

Blitzen Trapper - Sleepy Time In The Western World


NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Say it ain't so! It can't be!!! Boy George, you were my hero! And now...this?!? Damn you! But don't you fret. I'll listen to every song on Colour By Numbers every day until you're freed from this purgatory of the state.


Also, this is stupid. Yes, these kids are idiots. They should know that if they send naked pictures of themselves to other people, that they will be seen by people other than for whom they were intended. But I don't think that this should be a legal issue, let alone a child pornography issue. That's ridiculous. This guy is saying how "yes, they should be punished," which I agree with, but punished by their parents. This is not a state issue.

And then the next woman saying that they have to charge them with child pornography because it's all they can think of to charge them with? Well maybe that should tell you that it's not something that should be dealt with by the courts. And when she goes on to say that they're trying to "send a message to all teens," that just upsets me. These girls are 14 and 15, and you're going to come down on them as hard as you can to make an example of them? That's ridiculous.


But I'm done with you CNN, you've upset me enough for the day.


But anyhoo, so next weekend, I'm going to be doing this bike ride who's whole schtick is that it happens when the weather is at the absolute worst of the year. I'm super excited. I haven't ridden my bike in a while, but it should be good. I'm pumped.

Naturally, I don't actually have my bike, so I'm having my Madre and Padre bring it to me next weekend, the day before the ride. Because I'm apparently pro at planning things. So I won't really have a chance to get back into biking mode, but I figure I'll be okay.

So they have rides that are 6, 12, 20-25, and 40 miles long, and my friend I think is planning on the 20-25 ride, but I'm working on convincing him that we need to do the 40. How baller would that be?? So baller. I'm so so excited. I could just poo.


Oh, and we have our first gymnastics meet today. I'm pretty sure it's going to be magical. As gymnastics its an incredibly elitest sport (take that equestrian), I'm supposed to dress up (aka I need to find a tie and sport coat). This is different from every other sport here, where the athletic trainers are expected to wear khakis and a polo. No no no, gymnastics is too baller, and we're going to look classy. I'm actually kind of excited. I like getting dressed up, and I do it so rarely (a la my usual atire of homemade pj pants and t-shirts I've been wearing since the fifth grade). So it should be good.


And just a reminder, if you haven't suggested Jaimee Harris, I feel as if you should. Again, it takes less than ten seconds. You're a hero.
