suggestion:

wake me up when september ends.


(are we old enough now that that is a cliche?)

question:

why are things that are so obvious to me so difficult for other people to understand?

(in particular: we do not need to be told that all people are equal and deserve equal treatment. rather, hatred and discrimination must be taught.)

note:

i've been completely drained of all creative energy lately. the stress of the new semester starting, a new job starting, the extracurriculars i'm over-involved in, and the realization that i have to start applying to grad schools, combined with some rather substantial issues in my personal life that i don't want to get into here, have put me in a state where i've been barely even writing in my paper journal. if anything exciting happens, maybe i'll post.
