This party that we call the Tea Party, this movement, as I say is the future of politics in America
sarah palin via nyt
i try to not react to anything regarding sarah palin but find it very difficult. she is and maybe forever will be extremely disturbing. i mean, the woman quit the job she was elected to so that she could work for a tv station and do $100,000 public appearances. and somehow she becomes a beacon of hope to underrepresented scared white people?
- me: i'm offended that i submitted roxy to hipsterpuppies.tumblr.com and she wasn't immediately posted
- me: do you think she's too thug?
- heather: yes
- me: then there should be a thugpuppies.tumblr.com

in the middle of the day my neighbor came upstairs today to tell me i walk around my apartment too much and it keeps her awake. weird to think my anxiety keeps total strangers awake, not just me.
it is admittedly obsessive and unnecessary for me to worry about the education of my unborn children, but hey that’s what i do. i couldn’t read til ate in 3rd grade (dyslexic) but was lucky to be in a school that customized the education of each child instead of holding us back grades or putting us in remedial classes. also we had access an amazing art program and drama program. for high school i went to public school and almost failed english on several occasions. i also scored a 1420 on my SATs (well above average) and received presidental scholarship at RIT, where i graduated with high honors. i often wonder how things would have panned out if i hadn’t spent the first 9 years of my education at a school that purposely challenged my strengths and accepted my weaknesses. there are some kids who do fine in a traditional test and grade focused environment but certainly not all do. and they grow up to be some pretty awesome delinquints.
devon sent me this site hipsterpuppies.tumblr.com - we agreed that they should post roxy in her hoodie. (photo by meg)
