I will finally get to see my sweetie this Friday! It will be the first time in three months. For those of you that don't know, my fiance is in New York getting his doctorate at Stony Brook University while I'm stuck here in Ohio. We have a busy weekend planned trying to fit in visiting with friends and family. We are also meeting with the wedding photographer to get some engagement shots made. I can't believe the wedding is so close!! YAY!!

I saw on the news that President Bush was trying to get a bill passed to start building nuclear weapons. Wouldn't this make us look bad since we are trying to rid other places of weapons of mass destruction? But then again...what do I know, I'm just a dumb college student.....

Recently there have been a slew of articles posted by many JUers about women's body image and the media and now it's my turn to respond. I am 5`2, 122 lbs, a size eight...and sadly enough by Hollywood's standards, that is considered "plus sized." Why is this, one might ask? Well, women everywhere have trashy mags such as Cosmo and Glamour to thank. They post sickly gaunt women throughout the pages and tell the readers that this is beautiful. It's like number of ribs one sees on these wome...

before you read this post, know that two past generations of my family have fought their patriotic hearts out to serve this country and I am thankful for their gratitude and dedication to the armed forces. My fiance comes from a military background as well......his father served during the war with Korea. My friend (and florist for the wedding) Sarah decided to introduce my roomate and myself to her new main squeeze. His name is BJ and he said that he is enlisted in the Marines. As...

Last night, due to my lack of cable and caring what was on, I decided to tune into this new reality series on Fox called The Swan. The premis behind the show is to take two "ugly ducklings" and turn them into beautiful "swans" to compete in some beauty pageant at the end of the season. Apparently the most dramatic change will recieve the crown and title as queen swan. This show makes me angry for a number of reasons. First of all, they are taking perfectly normal looking people and tr...

It is said that Bush won this election because he is a "good christian man". Let's take a look at President Saint George's moral record.... I don't know about anyone else, but I think it's pretty IMMORAL what is happening over in Iraq. Thousands have died over what? FUCKING OIL...... It is also said that St. George wants to redefine marriage by stressing the importance of the bond between a man and a woman and adding a constitutional amendment to do so. Now last I checked the constit...

Before I post what I am about to post I want to let everyone know that I am a 23 year old straight female.... What is the big deal about marriage when 50% of it ends up in divorce anyways? Some gay couples I know have been together longer than a lot of straight couples..... Doesn't human companionship conquer all....I mean I'm getting married and I'm very happy to start this road ahead with my man...shouldn't everyone; gay, straight, bi...whatever deserve this too??

So Saturday night was Kent State University's giant Halloween extravaganza where a whole bunch of folks, young and young at heart come out and party at all hours. Since it was my last KSU Halloween I decided to participate. I'm starting to think I shouldn't have.... My roomate went as the dude in white from A Clockwork Orange, her friend went as a punkrawk chic, and I went as the Jennifer Bealls character from Flashdance. I must say for a last minute costume creation I looked pretty good...
