Support is a compilation zine that has stories from survivors of any sexual abu as well as from people who have known women and men who have been traumatized. It is an empowering read, with things such as how to listen if you're the person who knows a survivor and if you are the survivor what to do when you come out of a flashback.
Even if you don't know someone who has been sexually abused, you should still read it.
It's an emotionally heavy read, so be somewhere you feel nice and safe when reading it.

I recommend this zine to every person in this community, circulate it among your friends.

I love Abbot and Costello
I've seen all their movies and have a video of their tv shows :)

I just saw Milk, and I had a one minute conversation beforehand.
Here is what went down.


I was dressed in my jacket, the one with patches on it, coffee stained jeans, old broken in dead cheap mock Sperry's (go uniform), and a long sleeved red shirt.
There was a pretty big line for the small theatre, and by that I mean there were 10 people along with myself. The two men in front of me were gigantic to my 5'6, having dreads and the one who was talking had giant weights in his ears. I kept staring at them, I always am waiting for them to fall through (it's a sick habit).
I got to the window, and the usual hipster was there.
"Milk," I always deal in ones, so I was the official worst customer searching for eight ones.
"It was great you'll love it," a tall grey haired man said behind me. He was with a beautiful woman, he had a sweater hanging around his neck. How could he not be cold?
"I hope it wins some Academy Awards!" I smiled a half smile, partly closed because it's oh so freezing.
"It won't," he said happily, still beaming down at me.
"Why not?"
"The Academy is scared."
I had to rush inside before I froze.


I think the Academy is afraid. After all last year Persepolis lost best animation to Ratatouille.
MADNESS.

How have you guys been?
I haven't been on here very much, I've been working insanely hard on my grades so that I can leave Georgia (applying to college this summer!).

I'm mediocre in Math at best
I'm amazing at English
I'm good at Science, so long as it's something I can argue
I'm awful at Languages
I'm pretty good at history


But I'm afraid my dreams will die if I don't stop working so hard.
In Chemistry I have an 81 because I don't try as hard as I should, and freak out when doing equations because some super genius kids go fast. I think I'll ask if I can take it by myself.

I want to be a physicist so bad.

I know I'm slowly going insane.
I hope it won't hamper me.


I don't think anyone understands how hard I am trying right now
I study almost everyday and this amnesia and the weird shit in my head
put me behind others very easily.
But I keep going.

First semester I wasn't trying my hardest so I had a 3.4, WTF. I need to get it back up to a 3.70 like it was at Donovan, so I better keep on.

I want to turn off time.
I can teach myself this stuff if I try hard enough...right?

I have to go make cards for Chemistry to go over everything, I am going to have tutorial with her tomorrow to make sure I am understanding everything.

I get to do a photoshoot tomorrow of my friend
riding my horse in the pasture, I'm so stoked!

My horse is refusing to lounge! (evil mare)
She will back up, I've tried everything, but she just backs up, what should I do?

All I want to do is walk along the railroad tracks, exploring them.
I have an idea for a book, but I want to keep it close to let it grow :3


I was listening to Rhapsody in Blue, and I hit my leg along to the beat, so now I have bruises.
Haha.

My personal library is overflowing,
what's going to happen when I go to college!

Well, I took a bunch of pictures with my Nikon of everyone in this unicorn sweater, it's pretty amusing. Some of the later ones have a majorette hat, it's amazing how much you can accomplish with some kindness, laughs, and hugs.

Good heavens my life is boring.


I went mad shopping with my mother.

Colorful tights, mittens, thigh high socks, skirt, dress, and a bomber jacket!
We actually bought almost everything on sale, which was pretty rad.

My grounding continues...and I still have NO idea why.

I have a chemistry test Tuesday, and I am so unprepared. I need to memorize over 20 chemical compounds, figure out Lewis structures, hybridization, and all this madness.
Tomorrow I'm going studying with a friend at a cafe...and by studying I mean we'll end up laughing because every time I laugh she laughs, every time I smile she smiles/laughs...and I smile and laugh a lot.

My cousin feels much better, which is lovely because I hate it when she's sad.

 

I feel much happier, I saw the movie Everything is Illuminated and it is fucking AWESOME.

I am rereading and rereading books.
I'm on The Bull From the Sea by Mary Renault (amaaaaazing), do you know any really good books?

We are raising children
who raise themselves.

I am teaching myself German,
that is how awesome I am.

Oh man, I always feel like a dork when a movie makes me cry.
So lame.

Indiand Jones rocks.
The end.

I feel so guilty
but I am not sure why.

I need help with my Easter dinner!
I have courses planned out, but I don't know aaaah!

Abra and I's lunch was great.
We decided to go to the fair, she will have a speech impediment and I will be autistic.
Yes...it's awful.

We got to see hippies and an old man walking his bike.
Our waiter smelled of hippies.

Soccer practice starts tomorrow.
Smoothie life has been good, I can eat porridge and stuff too.

We might have to put my sister's pit bull down though. :(

God I love baking and cooking.
Having my non-vegan friends get excited over my vegan desserts makes me so happy.

Friends Only
