Overshare Thursday
I am about to get my first period in over two months, and I want to wring Patrick’s neck. And the dog’s. And all of New York’s, actually.
“I try to instigate at least one fight a week. I think it keeps the relationship...”
– Me, on the phone to Kennedy
Leaving now to New York for Halloween...
But first, a pitstop at Yale in three or so hours. Road trip begins … NOW.
“They never say, I don’t want sex workers to be raped. They say, I don’t want to...”

Just ordered dim sum.
It is 10pm, and Gitlo is delivering (or at least they were when I called). AWESOME.

Morning Sex
Delightful.
Occassionally, post-orgasm, I turn to Patrick, high-five him, and say, “Go team!”
Friends, it's official.
Don’t tell anyone.
Lena Chen: hello
Burkey Burke: what do you want?
Burkey Burke: just kidding!!
Burkey Burke:
Lena Chen: oh no
Lena Chen: you're right
Lena Chen: i want something

THE SUPER AWESOME MIDWEEK CELEBRATORY DATE
I am taking Patrick on a date that starts in approximately one hour to celebrate the passing of his oral exam (which basically means he can now start work on his actual dissertation). Stay tuned for the liveblog!

“I hope you keep these rants so that some day when you do have kids and realize...”
– commenter on my Proposition 8 entry in which I refer to potential children as “squealing brats” Sorry man, but I do not like children or the idea of childbirth. I could very well go through some hormonal shift in my twenties and become really excited about motherhood, but for now, I...

Double Life
Me: HELLO. STOP HIDING.
Friend on secret screenname: i'm not hiding
Me: ugh
Friend on secret screenname: i'm on my slut IM
Today, I managed to ...
1. Drop a knife, blade side down, on my right toe. It bled.
2. Slam the palm of my hand against the back of a nail on the door. It bled.
3. Hurt my groin by sitting down on Patrick’s knee (yes, I KNEED MYSELF on someone else’s knee). My vagina is luckily still intact.
Success.
Two weeks later, I have mastered girly push-ups.
The Nine-Pound Case Against Offing Yourself
Kennedy: life is such a drag
Me: what about your puppy??
Kennedy: she's cute? although I don't think 9 pounds of cuteness is really sufficient reason to stop hating my life
Me: hm, true. what if she gets bigger?
Kennedy: HAHAHAHAHA. well in THAT case ...

Robb and Robin Wirthlin’s Story (via ProtectMarriage.com)
“No longer is it okay to disagree. If you disagree with a particular lifestyle or behavior, you are now wrong, you are now bigoted. It’s no longer a difference of opinion. You are wrong.”
Um … yeah. You ARE wrong. The idea of there always being “two sides” to one issue is an illogical and...

Me: You know how in the beginning of relationships, everything is new and shiny?
Patrick: Really? Should I be concerned that you will be losing your brilliance?
8 miles
Okay, that was NOT easy, but also not as hard as I thought it’d be. There might be hope for me yet.
About to run 8 miles
My longest distance yet. Wish me luck!
Legalizing Education
Currently reading (for work) a higher education blog about undocumented students and the financial aid hurdles they face when applying college. There’s something incredibly sick about the nationalistic, self-righteous attitudes of the commenters who are against offering these students in-state tuition rates and equal aid consideration.
I know where these views stem from: these students (or...
Language Acquisition
In the next year, I would like to learn introductory German, relearn intermediate Spanish, and become a fluent Mandarin speaker. The last is most feasible because I come from a Cantonese background with some exposure to Mandarin (I also have no aspirations to read or write). As for Spanish, I took four years in high school and retained nothing but basic vocabulary and grammar. However, I...
