Song Dedication....

I'm sure you're all tired of my whining. Well, I'm not NEARLY done whining, but I will break it up with something less...whiny... So, I would like to dedicate a song to Wentworth Miller!






What song would you dedicate and to whom? Dare you!

OK Ladies!!! Sing it with me!!!!




Lyrics

(Yeah! Hurray!)

Now you have heard of Women's Rights,
And how we've tried to reach new heights.
If we're "all created equal"...
That's us too!

(Yeah!)

But you will proba ... bly not recall
That it's not been too ... too long at all,
Since we even had the right to
Cast a vote.

(Well!)

Well, sure, some men bowed down and called us "Mrs." (Yeah!)
Let us hang the wash out and wash the dishes, (Huh!)
But when the time rolled around to elect a president...

What did they say, Sister, (What did they say?)

They said, uh, "See ya later, alligator,
And don't forget my ... my mashed potatoes,
'Cause I'm going downtown to cast my vote for president."

Oh, we were suffering until suffrage,
Not a woman here could vote, no matter what age,
Then the 19th Amendment struck down that restrictive rule. (Oh yeah!)

And now we pull down on the lever,
Cast our ballots and we endeavor
To improve our country, state, county, town, and school.

(Tell 'em 'bout it!)

Those pilgrim women who ...
Who braved the boat
Could cook the turkey, but they ...
They could not vote.
Even Betsy Ross who sewed the flag was left behind that first election day.

(What a shame, Sisters!)

Then Susan B. Anthony (Yeah!) and Julia Howe,
(Lucretia!) Lucretia Mott, (and others!) they showed us how;
They carried signs and marched in lines
Until at long last the law was passed.

Oh, we were suffering until suffrage,
Not a woman here could vote, no matter what age,
Then the 19th Amendment struck down that restrictive rule. (Oh yeah!)

And now we pull down on the lever,
Cast our ballots and we endeavor
To improve our country, state, county, town, and school. (Right On! Right On!)

Yes the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule. (Right On! Right On!)

Yes the 19th Amendment
Struck down that restrictive rule.
(Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
Right on!
We got it now!
)

Since 1920...
Sisters, unite!
Vote on!

That's just more fun than decent people otta have! Dare you to sing it when you go vote!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

R.I.P.

My good friend Sciwriter's car has gone to the great parking lot in the sky.
Please pause for a moment of silence for
"The Peanut"

Peanut, you were loved, and will be missed. Rest in peace. Amen.

Woman of Steel

Quote of the Day - John N. Mitchell - "The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."

Hmmmm...wonder what grade of steel I am...


Do you know what grade you are?

Feel free to move about your life...not.

I have to say. I'm a little bummed. I have a friend who is making me feel bad for going back to school. You'd think they'd be happy for me, the opportunity to better my life. I get a better education, I can get a better job and make more money. More freedom, more time. I was hoping for a little encouragement, but instead, I'm made to feel guilty. I get they are sad, we've spent a lot of time together, and there will be some loneliness, but it's not like we won't be spending any time talking. My fear and excitement has been replaced by guilt and sadness. I'm not sure what to do about it. I guess there's nothing to do about it. I lead my life, I do what I can for those I can and take care of myself in the process. Which I think is the wrong priority. I should do what I need to do for me right now. Everything else should fall second.

Honestly, am I being selfish again? I know that's my tendency. (If you search the blog for "selfish" you'll find my other posts on how I'm selfish.) How do I make it right for everyone? Some advice would be great.

Woof!

Well boys and girls, it's back to school time. Even for me. My God!! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! I'm a lousy student! It's so hard for me. I 'm terrible at memorization. I freeze up when I have to write a paper. I don't write that well anyway! On top of it, I have personal stuff going on which may interfere with my studies. I'll talk to the teachers about it. I don't really want to scrub the semester, so hopefully they will work with me. After all, it's not like I'm some kid trying get out of doing work. *bats eyelashes* So, what am I taking? Well, I'll tell ya!

ENGL 1C Critical Reasoning and Writing - this is online so that should be ok with the medical stuff.

INTRO GEOLOGY - I have to go in for that. Could be a problem but it's only twice a week so...

BEGINNING PIANO - MUS 4B - I haven't touched a piano in years this should be humiliating. It also falls on Prison Break night. Thank goodness for Tivo. (Not that I have high hopes for the season.)

POLS 4 Introduction to International Relations - Sooo not political but in light of the current affairs, could be good. Also an online class.

So, 12 units. Full time. I've been trying to get some of the reading done ahead of time. Not too successful though. I waited a while to get the books. Which I did through Amazon Marketplace and saved like $150! College bookstores are such a racket. I tell you it was like giving the bookstore a giant middle finger! Felt good. With the online classes it still allows me enough time to continue to look for a job too.

If anyone would be willing to write any of my papers for me I would be most appreciative! Just sayin'. OH! Do you have any sure fire study skills? Tricks? Tips? Help an old dog out! How do you feel about recording class lectures? Help? Hinder? Highlighters? How do you take notes? Do you take notes? Pen and Paper? Computer? Any tips for taking tests? See, I'm freaking out. Lord help me.


On a different note, what are you all looking forward to watching this season? Are there any good shows coming on? I haven't really been paying attention.
