9:09 pm - Cross?
|
Hi all,
I seem to remember an ENORMOUS cross on I-44, somewhere between Tulsa and St. Louis. Is that right, or is it on another highway? It's bugging me.
Thanks in advance.

1. I am going to run a half marathon sometime in May. I'm hopefully going to run a marathon someday. I went for my first run today, completely on a whim. On a possibly sprained ankle. But I've been inspired to run by people such as openended (who, coincidentally, also runs on sprained ankles) and find that I'm tired of saying I'm going to do it. I first said this in the fall of junior year, but then I had the Semester From Hell and The Plague, and was burned out, and then it was senior year.
2. I really want to live in San Francisco, at least for awhile. I know it's California and that it's Hot and that there are earthquakes and it's the Land of Perpetual Adolescence, but really. I think I would do very well there, at least for one year. Then having seasons and a beautiful autumn would outweigh the seasonal difficulties that come with Winter Darkness, and it would be okay again.
3. Communication is hard.

Quick update:
Work is going pretty well.
I have a space heater, so now I won't 1) have to deal with my possibly carbon monoxide leaking heater, or 2) have another night where it's below 40 and I am without heat (save for said natural gas heater). It's exciting.
I FINALLY have my kitchen cart. I put it together this evening and won a minor battle with it. Now, i just need to do a little more organizing before people come in for the weekend.
I have brownies (FTW).
That's about it.

7:22 pm - LJ Idol. Yep!

A few years ago, my friend welfy participated in LJ idol...and won. Because she's that amazing! I always considered doing it for fun, but never had the time. Now that I'm not devoting 292247592840 hours to academia every week (now it's a mere 34872489), I have no excuse.
I'll be writing every week, and likely linking all of my entires to my personal LJ. So, if you're so inclined, read my stuff! I think it'll be a good way to get back in to writing. I used to write all the time, but haven't in the last...oh...5 years or so (with the exception of science papers and two English papers). Here's to the fun!

8:33 pm - READ THIS

This news item made my stomach turn: Cassandra Hernandez, a female Air Force airman was raped, reported her attack and then subsequently became a court-martial defendant herself.
The story goes down like this: Hernandez was at a party, where she was drinking. She says that three male airman raped her. She went to the hospital and filed a report accusing her attackers. Due to stress and harsh interrogation tactics by the Air Force, she eventually refused to testify against the airmen.
The Air Force then charged her with underage drinking (of which she admits to being guilty, but that's hardly the point, now is it?) and, along with her three attackers, "indecent acts." I had a hell of a lot of trouble finding an official definition for "indecent acts," and the best one I came up with is a "form of immorality relating to sexual impurity which is not only grossly vulgar, obscene, and repugnant to common propriety, but tends to excite lust and deprave the morals with respect to sexual relations." Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the basic translation seems to be "a sexual act, particularly one that is not generally accepted in society, such as sex with multiple partners."
So. The woman was raped. By three men. She reported her rape. She was harassed by her superiors, to the point where she became too afraid to testify. The Air Force took this as meaning that the sex was therefore consensual (which isn't what it means at all), and charged her in the case of her own rape. If she loses her case, she could be publicly registered as a sex offender.
Sounds like it couldn't get any worse, right? But it does. How? The three alleged attackers were offered sexual assault immunity to testify against Hernandez on the indecent acts charge. Having at least half a brain cell among them, they accepted.
Hernandez is writing to her congresspeople and her Governor, Rick Perry, in a desperate plea to end this madness. Once you finish throwing up, crying, breaking things, etc., I strongly suggest that you write to your congresspeople, too. IYou can find the information to write to your Representative here, and the information to write to your Senators here. It is a good idea to include one of the links to articles about the case, so that they know specifically what you are referring to.
