Hey everyone, how are you doing? Unfortunately, my life this semester has been really, really boring and I have nothing to write about. Well, sometimes I have a little bit to say but it isn't that interesting. So I have decided that I will just answer some questions people have asked my in the past. So if you have any questions, just ask me and then I will have something to write about. Though first I wanted to discuss something first. I am taking Medicine and Ethics class and the first topic is abortion. One of my roommates Pam is very conservative and very pro-life. I have never thought people who have differin g opinions were wrong but especially after this class, I have a new appreciation for the pro-life side, though I would never change my opinion. So I was reading this essay and there was a term, pro-life feminist, that I had never encountered. Then Pam said that it is possible to be pro-child and pro-woman. I found this insulting since she was implying that being pro-choice means you are anti-baby. I am very pro-choice but it really hurt me that anyone could think that I was anti-child. Would I work in the infant room of a day care getting thrown up on and pooped on like everyday if I didn't like children? I think not. But I was still upset and I called Paul and just cried. I am sure that I am being too sesitive but I took her comment very personally. Oh, I can't think of anything to write about for my med. and ethics class so if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate them.

I was going to tell the story of how Paul and I met because someone asked me this once. Paul and I met when we were sophmores on Sorority Bid Day in the Sunken Gardens. The sororities did this whole ceremony thing for Bid Day and someone from my freshman hall was a pledge so a bunch of us went to watch. Paul was reporting on Bid Day for the radio station and knew some of my friends so he sat with us. I think the first thing I ever said to Paul was "You, I forgot your name, will you take a picture of us?" I am always very sweet as you can see. Then we, Paul and I, went to see Speed at the DOG street theatre and end up talking for like two hours afterward. My ex-friend Megan (ex because she now hates me) was training at the radio station under Paul so I started going to his radio shows and the three of us and Megan's roommate(who does not hate me) would all go out. Paul and I got closer in a friend way. I guess you could say that we were and are best friends. Then Megan told me that she liked Paul. I was excited and made her my newest project. I tried hard to get them together but then Paul asked me to stop because he really did not like her in that way and did not want her to pursue this. So i just didn't do anything either way. I felt bad because I was being pulled by my two best friends. Then Megan started being very insulting to me and Paul and would make comments about us. I went with her to her house during Fall Break that year because I was hoping things would get better. I was wrong- things got a lot worse. On the way back, there was some huge problem with the train and we were like 5 hours late. Paul was picking us up at the train station and Megan was making comments like, "the only reason Paul is waiting is because of you." and "I bet Paul will give you a bigger hug than he will give me." and more. It ended up that I gave Paul a huge hug because I was so glad to get off of the train. It was during this time that I realized that I had really missed Paul. We started to get a lot clser after this, hanging out a lot and such. It almost seemed like we were in a relationship but we weren't even though a lot of people thought we were. Eventually I started thinking that I liked Paul but didn't want to admit it. I decided that the next time we went to the frats I would get drunk and kiss him. Since I would be drunk, I would have an excuse. Well we did a little more than kiss which sparked a huge fight. We were hooking up and still trying to remain friends which wasn't working. We had a big fight and I wouldn't talk to him for the whole weekend. We eventually made up and a couple of days later we started dating. So that's the whole story. If anyone has anything they want me to talk about, just let me know. Take care. Talk to y'all later.
