It Felt Like “The Real World” But Actually, Like, Real
If you keep up with me in real life in any capacity, then you already know that I’m leaving my job at the end of this month to begin the masters program in the School of Journalism at UNC. They are giving me a fellowship, which is why I’m able to just up and quit […]

Last night, I had a dream
that I climbed a giant rock wall and then had to ride a zip line back down to the bottom. But I had a broken arm, so I had to just hold on really tightly to the lady in charge while she rode it. It was scary because the wall was really high.
I’ve never a.) climbed a rock wall, b.) ridden a zip line, or c.) had a broken arm.
I think I just watch too much American Gladiators.

My friends Austin and Casey got married this weekend, and our friend Scott Jennings officiated it (by the power vested in him by the Internet). He wrote a really awesome and personalized ceremony for them (which you can read in full HERE) - this quote was my favorite part.

Most people assume that I’m vegetarian for some moral, animals-are-people-too reason. And the majority of them are taken aback when I say that I don’t eat meat because I think animals are gross and I don’t want them in my mouth. So, no, I never get cravings for meat (I get that question all the time). Also, like in this article, I always get the “Where do you get your protein from?!” question, or people go out of their way to find restaurants where I “can eat something” (which is considerate, but annoyingly so).
It’s pretty baffling to me that people believe that you can’t have a meal unless it involves meat in some way, and that you’re automatically malnourished if you’re vegetarian. My only ailment is that I’m anemic (like a lot of women in the world), but I was actually more iron-defficient when I was a meat-eater (in high school), probably because I eat much healthier things now that meat is not the center of my diet.
I don't get it when
Clinton supporters (or the reverse, Obama-supporters) say they will vote for McCain if the Democratic nominee is Barack Obama. Presumably, they are supporting Clinton instead of Obama because her values and policies better align with their own, and Obama differs on a few key issues, and they feel very strongly about that. But I don’t understand why anyone would throw in the towel and vote for a Republican candidate who differs on almost every issue, social and political, just because Clinton is not the nominee. Is it based on anything but spite? Is it that they feel “wronged” by the Democratic party?
I’m fairly certain that Clinton will vote for Obama in November, even if she isn’t on the ticket with him.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? Because it doesn’t seem logical to me at all.

I only just caught this last night — Wyatt Cenac explaining why Lost is better television than the Democratic primary! lulz.
Congrats Obama. You did it.
