So I just read my last journal entry and it's pretty hilarious in light of things that have been happening as of late. Not that this comes as a galloping shock to anyone who reads this, but i'm leaving in early June instead of in July which may not seem like a big deal but it kinda is. So there's that change and then also the guy and I aren't seeing each other anymore. Well more so that he decided to be an insensitive jerk and pulled a disappearing act on me. I've been reading that that's quite the trend these days with guys who don't have the guts to end their relationships face to face. But I'm trying not to dwell on it too much... Leaving for PC (oh in Swaziland) is so much more complex than i thought it would be. I've been doing some serious soul searching and honestly still don't know if i'm making the right choice. I'm not going to back down but it's a matter of asking for more time which would mean me getting another country. I may need that if i want to feel more financially secure with where i'm leaving matters when i go overseas. My parents have been great though and are really starting to throw around the support now that i REALLY need it. I'm also so scared and apprehensive about "The Swaz". It looks beautiful and i've been hearing some great stories from Peace Corps Volunteers serving now and that have served in the past. But there are also lots of things that I need to prepare myself for. I dont think I handly loneliness and isolation as well as I would like to think I do. But I think God may be preparing me for that now. No boy in my life, not that much money so i dont go out too much, a hand full of close friends around....it's like emotionally isolating and a brief glimpse of how parts of my two years over there may feel like. If nothing else, I know I'm going to learn so much and be challenged and come back totally changed. Totally changed and jobless initially but totally changed nonetheless :-) Peace

MMM 10 points to anyone who can name where that line comes from. Anyways, sigh, I'm kinda starting something with this guy and because i have no other outlet at the moment I felt the need to splatter my feelings on here. I've totally been lonely or at least in need of intimacy and attention since I moved to DC. He hasn't had a significant relationship in two years and is in need of some dating/intimacy himself. So I'm wondering...how much of what we're starting is because we're good for each other and should be in each others' lives and how much is it because we're both just lonely and want to be held and kissed and wanted? This dating thing is so selfish really when you think about it. Well, when you do it in the secular way it tends to be. But I like this kid. I really do. However I LOVE the fact that i'm leaving for Africa in JULY!! It's now April which means I only have two full months with him. What's the point of starting anything?? I want to over analyze this like I tend to do with everything but I remember talking to my counselor awhile back about the relationship I was in at that time. I totally over analyzed it too. And needed a plan and a timeline and to know that I was doing something and INVESTING in something that would pay off for me in the long run. So maybe I should just enjoy being with this guy now and let the rest work itself out? Or I should nip it in the bud and prepare myself for two years of singledom? I dunno I mean i kinda wanna go out to Peace Corps with a bang. My last memories of America will be holding his hand and kissing him which can't be that bad. Ugh I dunno....dating sucks. Emotions suck more, as does monogamy. OK I'm done...time for bed :-)

medical stuff has been turned into Peace Corps as of yesterday afternoon. Pray I will get a swift clearance from PC and an invitation in the mail.... Also, since when do I have a sign on my forehead welcoming old/loser/sketchy/perverted men to hit on me? For just no reason? Ugh life is not cool sometimes. But on the plus side, I get to go see the NYC ballet tomorrow night! Whoot! I heart a Midsummer Night's Dream and ballet so putting the two together should be fairly amazing. Let's see what else...i have a friend coming into town this weekend which should be interesting and hopefully in the next week or so I'll be heading down to NYC since I haven't been there in so friggin long. Ok i'm off to bed. Peace |

I just got this sinking feeling like ten minutes ago and I don't know why. Its like everything going on in my life crashed in to each other and I realized how much I'm in limbo. I shouldn't be THAT upset really seeings as how I finished my vaccinations for Peace Corps and just have to wait until my doctor mails me back the forms this week so I can turn everything in. My friend who's in Zambia now had to get surgery before she left for Peace Corps so i guess things could be worse. It's just so hard. Wanting so badly to leave and yet being so scared of going away for two years. And then I just feel so unhealthy and I hate the way I look. That's the worst. And what's sad is that I've felt that way since I was like ten. People shouldn't have to feel like they're not good enough for fourteen years. Man this really sucks, especially seeings as how yesterday was a pretty sweet day for me. Yesterday I taught my ESL class and it went really well. Then I mellowed out and tried out a new church that was amazing. I really really like this one and I think I'm gonna stick with it. Then I saw a movie which I swear is my new hobby. I've seen like five movies in the last two weeks. I love it. Is it wrong that I only feel worthwhile and beautiful when men pay attention to me? As a feminist I really hate that about myself. But as someone who has daddy issues and body issues it kinda makes sense. It's funny cuz tonight I watched The Hills, Dancelife, and Sex and the City. Three things that made me feel 1) not pretty and 2) severely lonely. I think that's my biggest problem actually, just being lonely. But come to think of it, when I'm living in the bush (in GOD willing Zambia or Kenya), I'm gonna get pretty lonely every once in again. Peace Corps warns about it over and over. So I guess now's as good a time as any to learn how to cope without close friends and a significant other near me. Ok....for now, I sleep. Peace.

Ugh I half hope nobody reads this since I just really need to vent. I've received yet ANOTHER set back from Peace Corps which means my chances of leaving when I want to are shrinking more and more. I have to 1) get new dental X-Rays 2) get two cavities filled 3) get a wisdom tooth pulled 4) track down three specific immunizations in my medical records to see if I'm innoculated. If I'm not I'll have to GET the immunizations which means I'd have to have it in my system for awhile before I can leave apparently. 5) Write a "personal statement" about two scars on my right arm because apparently PC things I could be a cutter. 5) Write about losing/gaining ten pounds or more in the past year because apparently I also have an eating disorder 6) Four boxes weren't checked on my medical form when I turned it in. I have to check the boxes and send the form back. I HATE THIS PROCESS!!!! Part of me thinks there has to be a reason I'm being put through all of this mess. I mean chances are that if I can't work my way around some paperwork I'm not likely to do too well surviving in rural Africa. But even still, getting dental work stuff done is a little difficult without dental insurance. I'm gonna go so in debt over this crap. I hate it so much. I have to go to a clinic where I have to show proof of income and proof of residency in DC. The proof of income thing is ok enough but the residency thing is a bit tricky. Sigh. I just don't know what to do right now. I really thing I'm supposed to go to Peace Corps. I don't know what I'll do with myself if I get rejected at the last minute. What sucks most is that the one person who would really understand what I'm going through just left for Peace Corps this past week. She's going to Zambia which is awesome but I soooo want to be there with her :-( This is just not a fun period in my life right now. But I'm totally realizing how easy it is to praise God when things are going smoothly and how tempting it is to lose heart and lose faith whenever hard times hit. Yo two song lyrics that speak mad truth to this: "Lord the sky's still blue, for my hope is in You/ You're my joy, You're the dream that's still alive."
"And I'll praise You in this storm/I will lift my hands/ You are who You are, no matter where I am/ And every tear I cry, You hold in Your hands/ You've never left my side and though my heart is torn. I'll praise you in this storm" So yea learning to PTL during the hard times is such a struggle but as cliche as it sounds, that's when you need to most. Not because you hope to gain something by lavishing on the Lord, but because you know He's trying to draw you nearer to Him. A friend once told me something along the lines of you have to keep having struggles to have a testimony. I mean once God brings you through one struggle and you have a testimony to share about it that doesn't mean the struggles get to be over. He has to keep using you and your circumstances to bless others. When I think about it like that, I so want to be a part of God's plan. If His plan is for me to fight tooth and nail to get to Africa then great. If His plan is for me to fight tooth and nail to get to Africa and I get rejected then He's gonna open another door for me. Ok well that's about all from my world right about now. I miss Cornellness as can be expected. But I'm slowly settling into DC life which is nice too. Peace.

Man it's been forever since I've posted on here. I feel like the only folks who check this already know what's going on in my life (Mallory, Ania...) Anywho, so I finally graduated from Cornell WHOOT WHOOT! I've been home for almost a week for Christmas and I'm about to fly off to Washington DC for the poorest 6 months of my life. I'm going to be working full time but earning crumbs. I get free housing but that's about it. I'm actually thinking of picking up a second job (bartender, hostess, psychic, whatev....) just to get more cash flowage. I so don't know how to feel right now. It's weird being done with school even though it hasn't *really* hit me yet. I just feel like I'm on Winter break. And I know I'm going to be living in DC but that hasn't hit me quite yet either. Nor the prospect of being in Africa. I really hope and pray that all my medical stuff checks out cuz I dont really know what I'll do with myself if I don't go into the Peace Corps. It just makes sense to me. That and I honestly feel like that's where God wants me to be. Whoa man...speaking of God, I need to go give Him some face time. I think being at home has made me realize how much I've fallen deeply in love with Him. And also how blessed I am to have friends and family that cling to my soul so deeply. I surprised myself this week by actually feeling lonely and in want of some romance. I think that's cuz I'm in Texas and up until now every time I was in Texas I had a "boyfriend" or guy(s) I was hooking up with. See how my mind equates that with romance. So sad. I'll be so happy to be in DC. And then GOD willing, AFRICA!!! (The Gambia, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana...who knows????!!!!). LOVE!!!

It has been aWHILE since I've graced the Livejournal with my presence. I've been so busy lately it's not even funny....Prelims/midterms/fall break. All the craziness. CRAZY!!!! Man so i went to Boston for break and it was pretty groovy. I heart it and may go back for Thanksgiving. But I am so brizoke! I hate not having money grrrr. Which doesn't help with the whole Peace Corps medical clearance stuff by the way. So my mother had the omniscient foresight to not include vision and dental coverage in my health insurance plan. So now my poor ass has to pay out of pocket for my dental and vision exams. These exams are *partially* reimbursed by the Peace Corps but if they find something wrong with me that I need to get fixed (like cavities) then I gotta pay for it on my own. I am so SOL!!! Well anyways....midterm and prelim season is over so now i get to focus on my super amazing research paper for the class i didnt do so well in for the last prelim. Hope that made sense. But either way, I think I can bounce back. The paper is on women in Uganda, sex education, and inequalities in contracting HIV and receiving care. FUN! I would get to do HIV/AIDS type work in Africa for PC so i want to immerse myself in all things HIV/AIDS related while I can. Which brings me to my plans for the weekend. I'm going out with some Souldiers to do a retreat in Albany with some lukewarm Catholic kids. I'm feeling like this is gonna be fairly solid. After I come back from that on Saturday evening I'm gonna get to hang out with Bethany possibly for the last time before she heads to Zambia. ZAMBIA!!!! for Peace Corps. I love this girl. Then I have church Sunday, brunch with a friend, and looking for jobs to apply for all the rest of the day and Monday. Yay future! I'm trying not to freak out. Cuz it's almost November and I have no plans for the Spring. Aiight I'm out ;-) |
|

So I think I may have the ADD....I just can't sit still and be focused for some reason. I meant to get on the computer to write my prof an email about how to study for my pre-lim but here I am on the Livejournal. I suck. And blow. Yay for getting nominated for Peace Corps!!!! Right now it's looking like i'll be *somewhere* in Sub-Saharan Africa and start around July 2007. Which means I need to find an internship for the spring. A paying internship. Or something that pays. Boo. Thats just gonna suck. But yea, I'm gonna keep trying to look for things. A couple of opportunities have come across my path but I'm still pondering on them. I'm kinda scared though about being in the Peace Corps. I've heard both terrible and amazing stories about Peace Corps service so i don't really know what to think. I guess all I can do is make sure I know all about the area and program I'll be involved with and hope I get put somewhere near the Peace Corps headquarters for that country. YAY!!!! Life is figuring itself out. I went to the grad school fair and spoke to some public health schools and social work schools. I think this Peace Corps business is really gonna help me get my foot in the door to some joint degree programs. And that's always bad ass ;-) Aiight I'm hanging out with friends soon so I should get as much work done as possible. Pizeace.... |

Wow so much has happened in the last few days. Retreat was phenomenal. I looooove all the little freshman involved with Crusade this year. They are quite adorable and so much fun to love on. I got sooo many hugs this weekend. I love the community God's given me...I really couldnt be happier. I also learned a lot this weekend and really am going to strive to dive into God's Word more. I feel like that's the only thing capable of sustaining me and allowing me to draw nearer to Him. The time i spent in the Bible this weekend and the time I spent in prayer were priceless. And so needed. It's crazy how much God wants us even though we don't deserve His love. He craves our affection and I love that. The God of the universe wants to sit down and share with me and love me and protect me and confort me. Awesome ;-) So yea, this weekend was a lot of solitude and learning and it was so beautiful. But then it ended (boo) and I got home and was still a little worried about my Peace Corps interview that was this morning. I had to jet out to the mall and buy interview worthy pants which weren't that hard to find. Then I had dinner with one friend and my other friend came over so i could give her her gift and we talked for awhile after that. My friends are so great and I really value my friendships. But my Peace Corps interview went quite well. My recruiter is very chill but also very handsome. So it was a little distracting. But yea we were trying to figure out which types of programs my skills worked with best and I'm hoping he can find somewhere to place me. But he was super groovy. We laughed a lot. Aiight I'm headed out so i can go learn some more women's self defenseness. Yay!!!! |

Yay for Crusade retreat this weekend! Whoot.... I was helping with planning for quiet times and got a chance to pull lots of stuff out of the Bible which was really good for me. I've been slacking on that for a bit. Although.... I HAVE DISCERNED YES FOR JOINING SOULDIERS!!!!
(If you have no idea what I'm talking about just ask me....it's like a Catholic fraternity/sorority) My Peace Corps interview is Monday and I am scurred!!!!! I have to buy pants and shoes since I have no interview worthy clothes I've determined. That's kinda sad but what can ya do.
OH! and I got my friend and her boyfriend the best birthday presents ever. Well the seats might potentially suck....BUT I feel like they'll enjoy it anyways. I always feel inadequate when it comes to getting my friends good things. I always feel like I can do more. Meh..... Aiight I'm off.... |

So I need to be done with this one-page paper already. Man I'm the worst student ever. And, like Mal, I'm sick. Booooo. Sneezing, sore throat, congestion, coughing. But on the plus side, I did get to hang out in NYC yesterday. The save Darfur rally was great and I really hope people get energized to do some hard core activism. I'd like to chain myself to the UN. I'm serious. Or the Sudanese embassy. I feel like I'd piss on the Sudanese embassy if I ever saw it. I keep wanting to believe the leaders of Sudan will have a change of heart but i dunno. If their hearts are already cold, blackened, and heartened past the point of achieving love and mercy for their own people than screw them. I wish Satan wasn't having such a grand ole' time in Africa. Just a grand ole' time. Oh but on the plus side, I saw Katie Couric in person! I walked by her when she was sitting on a bench eatin some Tasti-d-Light. She looked as cute as she does on TV. Although if I were Katie Couric I'd be eating chocolate covered gold instead of Tasti-d-Light with all the common folk. But that's just me. Ok....back to this paper about a lesbian society or somethin.... |

It is so late and i desperately need sleep. I've been having sleep issues ever since i moved in here a few weeks ago. I dread sleep and when i finally get to sleep and have to wake up I never want to move. It's so weird...I wonder what it means. Life is so hectic. I knew things weren't going to stay peaceful. And there's so much I want to do. I haven't been to the gym in two weeks :-/ I'm joining a book club. We're reading "Captivating" which seems like it's going to be quite awesome. I think things are starting to fall into place.
- So Captivating is about women's hearts....our desires....the damages done to ourselves from our culture, the church, etc......and how to allow God to sweep us away with him. Somethin like that. But it sounds really super.
------------------------------
Reasons I love Catholicism: Unity, it was the first church, recognition of the holiness of Mary (Protestants just don't give Mary her due), tradition (although this is both good and bad), the idea behind the Eucharist (I don't believe, yet, that it is actually the body and blood of Christ, but i'm workin on it), the saints, the Church *hearts* social justice,and has a consistent life ethic Reasons I don't love Catholicism: patriarchy, birth control, the role of the saints, Mary, and traditions sometimes overshadowing Christ, that some Catholics still adhere to Vatican I, hierarchy (child molestation cover ups), confession...... Mass at Cornell sucks. I miss Mass back at home. Although it's been awhile, my visits to St. Maria Goretti were amazingness. Yea I could turn Catholic. Or not. It's a beautiful faith though...... Ok enough of that...SLEEP!!!! |

This song has been making sense to me lately....although not ALL of it is appropriate for me/this situation it's still pretty much on point. ---------------------------------------- --------------- ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS "You Oughta Know" I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know |

So boy I just did NOT see this week coming. I really think it makes sense though...whenever things seem to be going well and smoothly, something tends to rock me and unnerve me a bit. I have no idea how to come to terms with the things I've done in the past and the choices I've made. I've struggled with the Lord all of my life it seems. I love Him so deeply but when I can't feel Him or something's going on where it doesn't seem like He's around then I just kind of gradually stop talking to Him, relying on Him, and living for Him. So.... Recent events have lead me to face my past and past relationship(s). I've been through a lot these past few days....thinking about myself.....my last romantic relationship....my messed up ideas of love......what I'm holding on to.......why I can't allow myself to fall in love with Christ.......and the type of men I don't think I'd be able to find. I was talking with a friend about this over dinner and he really offered me some perspective on this. Women (well everyone really) want to be desired and wanted so badly that even the slightest inkling of connection in that realm tugs at our hearts. Even when we know it's not right....even when we know God wants more for us. It's just hard because don't we all just wanted to feel beautiful and be loved? I felt beautiful with him and I felt loved. I know that love wasn't completely pure....it wasn't what God wanted for either of us. I was bad for him and he was bad for me so it was just piss poor timing I guess. But UGHHHH why am I so bothered that there's someone else in his life. It's painful but it's also funny because I mean our relationship was like wading in a mud puddle and not realizing there's a gorgeous ocean waiting for me in the future. If that makes sense.... I watched Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind tonight. I thought about how great it would be if we could erase all of our painful and heartbreaking memories. No memories of a first kiss or last goodbye. It sounds pretty sweet to me....until I realize I cant remember the last time we kissed or the last time we held hands. It just seems hard to believe this is it....that's all we had. We couldn't make it better and we couldn't make it work. I guess that's just life though. Well.....you can all be rest assured that this is the last time I'm going to do this to myself. I can't do heartache....it's just not my style and I hate being that girl. Well it's past 2 a.m. and I've avoided sleep as long as I can. Night.....

So today was such a whirlwind day of emotion. An old friend of mine (a former best friend actually) emailed me today after not talking to me for about two and a half years. It was so weird to me and hard for me to wrap my mind around it. She was really vague about the circumstances in her life that caused her to stop talking to me....but she gave me an explanation of why ending communication was necessary. And I suppose that's enough. I'm so worried about her though. I've not had many friendships that match the kind ours was. We were so close.....we laughed at everything.....fought....challenged each other....loved each other. It was the perfect friendship I knew two women were capable of obtaining. Being strong with and for one another; and it was great. It wasn't until she was chronically absent in my life and i was unable to track her down many many MANY times that I decided to let it go and allow myself to mourn our loss. I had my memories of us and that would have to be enough. That was a chapter in my life that I was blessed to have but that could never be repeated again. But now this..... Things are so different now from where we left off. I mean she has a child and a live in boyfriend that I can't even pretend to like at this point. Maybe he's changed and come around...I don't know. But I know how he was back in the day and that he lead her down a road she had to carry herself away from. She's doing well now....she graduated from school and has what sounds like a great job at this point. But what will become of us? I can't pretend we're the same people we were three years ago. I also can't pretend like we'll ever rekindle our friendship or have a speck of what we once shared. I think now i'll just pray over it and try to figure out the best way to go from here. And after all, a reconciled relationship is better than no relationship at all.

I loooove my classes. First off, for the first time ever, the majority of my profs are women. WHOOT! And all of my profs are racial minorities (two Indian women, a black woman, and a black man). I really think these classes reflect what I want to do with my life and where my heart is: Feminism and Philosophy, Social Welfare as a Social Institution, Health and Survival Inequalities, and Islam in Africa and Its Diaspora. YAY!!! So I'm feeling rather optimistic about this semester which scares me as usual. Whenever I feel optimistic something goes bad. So I guess I'll just change that to hopeful and HOPE things turn out well. I have no class tomorrow so the plan is to wake up early and high tail it to the gym before work. I think that sounds like a super plan. And I'm HOPEFUL that it will pan out for the rest of the semester. Now....as far as my living situation goes....I live in a hall of lots of other young ladies and our bathroom is kinda an issue. Long story short, a lot of them are nasty. And they're loud. Yea so I may be switching rooms...I really dont know. Ahhhh ok well i should spend some time with the J-man before heading to bed. LOVE!!!

oh my goodness.....i'm such a wreck right now. I have to make decisions concerning my life in the next few weeks that I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to make. Turn in my Peace Corps app....pray about if i should even go to Peace Corps......look for jobs after graduation......prep for/take GREs.......worry about grad programs (just social work or public health....OR social work combined with public health). I wanna make it stop...AHHHHHHH I cant remember a time in my life when i was more stressed. I honestly just want to cry. It could just be my hormones but honestly i want to curl up into a ball and just make the world stop. I just need more time....i wish i wasnt getting older too. I need time to just breathe and remember what it is i want to do with my life and talk to God and have us map it out together. It really should be that simple. One of my roomates for the summer is leaving for good tomorrow. Sadness. I have so much to do this weekend. My hair, shop for a week's worth of groceries, shop for toiletries and other such essentials, FIGURE OUT MY LIFE. Gross man....just f-ing gross. I think I'm just going to apply for the Peace Corps and get that out of the way now cuz that process is gonna take mad long anyway. In the meanwhile, I can do some GRE vocab building and go over my math stuff....I dont think i'll make it into the Kaplan class.....so I can just do that and take the actual test in late October maybe. The rest of this is where it gets tricky. I need to look into grad school programs that 1) work with the peace corps to offer you money for study once you return and 2) can merge studying public health with social work. I actually need to still look over public health stuff and make sure i can do what i want to do with that degree. Sigh....I was looking at a program today that would be perfect for me but ironically enough I don't think I'm qualified for. It's in International Disaster Psychology...dunno if i've ever mentioned it before. But yea, it's pretty much my calling. I think I'll apply for that as a long shot. And something that also doesnt make my week: A class i wanted to take this semester with a teacher I had last semester conflicts with a class I have to take as a requirement. I was going to ask that prof for a recommendation too so i dont know what i'm going to do. She's the advisor of an organization I'm interested in so I may just get really involved with that to get closer to her as well. Man my life sucks.....I wanna be in high school again. I mean going off to college was kind of daunting but still it was nothing like this....... |

So i should be reading for the paper due tomorrow...and have i done it? Not so much, no. I'm in the library (PTL for the central air conditioning)and i'm watching clips of the Daily Show and Colbert Report en lieu of reading for now. But great news, I got tested for the HIV today and i passed with flying colors ;-)It is a relief I must say. I totally can't see myself having relations any time soon. I so dont think it's worth it. Premarital sex is so overrated. Dayum! I just saw a "this week in God" segment that showed Israeli children signing MISSILES that are going to be going into Lebanon. F-ing Israel. I so cannot stand Zionism. It's getting to a point now where Israel is able to get away with ANYTHING cuz it's Israel. Ugh....so annoying..... Do you think Mel Gibson really doesn't like Jews? Do you think his career is over? Cuz i kinda dunno what to make of all of this. Anywho, I'm sure there are bigger things in the world to worry about. I'm also a little miffed at Hollywood folks for getting pissy about this but oh boy, let's give a child rapist an Oscar (Roman Polanski anyone???) Aiight....off to more Daily Show, Colbert Report, and reading (eventually)
