The meaning of all the deaths in HP:
James and Lily: To establish the story line as well as to show orphans of war.
Cedric Diggory: To show Voldemort's mercilessness.
Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
Mad Eye: To show the death of a soldier.
Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.
Severus Snape: To show that you can always change your ways. Always.

The best movies are movies with high stakes. I learned this from the hosts of Filmspotting, a film review podcast. The best movies—the ones that pull you in and stay with you—are the ones where the stuff that happens actually matters, where you have a reason to care about the story playing out on the screen in front of you. This doesn’t mean the conflict needs to escalate to...

Guess my uncle has AIDS. No one bothered to tell me until today.
Also, I watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World last night. It liked it a great deal.
This week is going to be taxing. Wahoos, work, speech, finals prep.
Finished knitting the toy blocks. Still need to assemble them, though.

The hurt in this world is overwhelming and I find that I cannot get angry at it anymore. It just depresses me.

Not atheist nonsense.
In a world where patriarchs control publications. One Baptist (male..) will spend lots of time reviewing.. different translations.. of the bible.
I haven’t been able to write a song since.. Josh and I were in a band. Forgot when that was. Over a year at least. It sucks. I feel like less of a person.

The 2012 War on Women has finally taken its toll on me.
Government: It is none of your damned business what I use birth control for. I can take it because I’d rather not be pregnant. I can take it for PCOS, endometriosis, or acne. I can take it because I think the packaging is pretty or the commercial is...

This is hormonal birth control.
As you can see on the box, you take exactly one pill per day. To make sure it works, you need to take one pill every day at the same time, or it stops working. You take only one pill, and you keep taking them regardless of what you are doing that day.
Hormonal birth control can be used to treat a lot of different...

This:
abortion should be “safe, legal and rare.”
Instead of worrying about abortions, we should be worried about preventing unwanted pregnancies. NO WOMAN WANTS AN ABORTION! So why are people treating women like second-class citizens? Criminals? If Texas spent half as much time educating as it did debating why abortion shouldn’t be legal.. bah.
Congrats, Texas. I’m moving and...

Having my paper proof read by my wonderful girlfriend.
After that, all I have to do is do the works cited and make a title page.
I really hope this paper isn’t a bust.
No! No! Definitely not (a bust)… :D
Learning
This is a long road we all take. Everyone learns new things whenever they’re ready to learn the lesson. I haven’t been fighting to learn from others or come to a compromise at all! I’ve been fighting to win, even when I started to realize I was wrong I didn’t concede or re-evaluate my stance. So, here I go.

Actually had to pull out my glasses. I tend to block them out equations. Much better.
The first time, I actually thought a bug was crawling around in my nasal region. And I was genuinely afraid that it was going to burrow into my brain. Now I think it’s all in my head. There can’t really have been over 5 bugs going up the same hole and getting stuck in the same place. Still. It’s Hell on my sanity.

The thing that got me started on my search for answers was an Australian youtube cartoon on Noah’s arc. Since then, I cannot read the work of any atheist without it being in an Australian accent in my head.

This site is really great. Yes, I’m a feminist.. That doesn’t mean I hate men. I love men! They’re great. There needs to be a movement to teach men how to be men and still respect women. There needs to be GENDER EQUALITY! Not just elevating women above men because, oh, our foremothers were abused. I don’t buy that. Women need equal treatment, which is better treatment...

(read “Mr. and Mrs. Sexist”)
No mother wants to have a different last name from her child. It sucks. Trust me, I had a different last name than my own mother for about 8years (until my step-father adopted me). So, in hyphenating your last name with that of your husbands, you still have it right with your child, nearly. But, having two last names is just as unequal as having just his,...
A Small Note
“Women’s sexuality is fundamentally more fluid than men’s, permitting greater variability in its development and expression over the life course.”
I’m not sure if it is more that way for a woman than a man, but I agree that it can be applied to myself at the very least. The best phrase describing myself is “nonexclusivity in attractions.” So far, I have not enjoyed...

Feminism and the Giant Marriage Monster
(In this, I’ll use tradition as an all-encompassing word for the things I mean. It’s easier than typing out every little detail, especially since some of the things I am thinking about aren’t really relevant.) I don’t wish to adhere to traditions that I somehow crave. Unwillingly, I mourn the loss of my young fantasies of life after love. (Cue Cher videos.) Will I forever...
Mr. and Mrs. Sexist
This.
“Shuffling through some mail at work this morning, I glimpsed an envelope addressed in the archaic format “Mr. and Mrs. Husband’s First and Last Name”, as in, “Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Smith”. I cringed. I have always wondered where the woman goes when she gets married. Where is the woman in the way that envelope was addressed? The word...

“I wanna go back to the generation when a guy had to get permission from the girl’s parents to ask her out.” Because women cannot make important or good decisions on their own. Women belong to their fathers until they belong to their husbands…

Looking for some opinions on this vlog.
Liking it so far. The only bad part about feminist blogs is that it seems like they blow a lot of things out of proportion. Take the Christmas songs. I’ll agree that most of the ones on her list are pretty terrible (not just in that we’ve all heard it 50billion times). However, the first one, All I Want for Christmas is You,...
