What's on your mind today?

[DeterminedJuliet]

I'm moving to FL the end of March and I should be packing and stuff but I'm completely overwhelmed by the process so I'm jamming out to Fleet Foxes, drinking coffee, coming up with names for my friends' new band, and buying a bunch of books online. I just can't deal with this moving process for some reason.

I hear you. We moved in September and I dreaded the whole process.

What's the subject?

[Sandra Craft]

She apparently got into my GF's bag at what I can only assume was the dead of night, and did all the above with the aid of her nightlight, as quiet as a mouse...

Children, LOL.

Sounds like Picasso finally got reincarnated.

Informative paper on Enhanced Interrogation. My teacher is a published author about torture.

That's a difficult and interesting subject. Have your read any of Sam Harris on the ethics/morality of torture?

Worth looking up. Sam Harris is a prominent atheist, in the vain of Dawkins and Hitchins. Sam's views were headline news in 2005 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sam-harris/in-defense-of-torture_b_8993.html

I was watching lethal weapon 4 (which I havent seen since like 15 or so)
Anyway, I never noticed how much american brain washing it has.
Rigg's gf was having a baby, but she was determined to get married before she went into labor. At the end-in the hospital- she rushed Riggs to get a minister saying "i want to be a wife before a mother."
I suppose it made me think how much pressure is put on people, especially women.in society. To be an unwed mother, or just a couple who chooses not to be married can still be in a loving, very close relationship.
People seem to.judge you very harshly if you arent married, but with a kid. Like it really makes a difference..

That's what's on my mind. :<

I hear you. Believe me. I'm in that boat. Unmarried mother to an almost 4 year old, check. Have a girlfriend, check. No upcoming engagement/wedding plans, check. For those reasons and others, I've gotten interesting comments. And 'interesting' is the kindest adjective I can use, lol. The comments no longer offend me. My daughter is happy and healthy. My relationship is happy and healthy. I have my own reasons for why things are the way they are, and anyone who doesn't care/bother to actually get to know me and why I think the way I do is welcome to their opinion of me, but they can't expect me to take it to heart. So, yeah -- boo to social pressure.

I wish I could use his information, but we're not allowed to use blogs as sources. Thank you though!

In situations like this, I like the old saying "The people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter."

Yup, very true!

On my mind right now: plugging in the kettle to boil water for a lovely cup of chai tea.

I just finished a cup of tea. I could definitely do with another.

Must be a trend -- I read this while finishing off a cup of 2 hr old tea.
