Author Considers Petition to Remove Self-Censorship

I'll admit that after I decided to stop posting rants about the shenanigans of the republican contingent in my class, I feared that my blog would degenerate into meaningless jabber about what I'm shopping for on ebay and what I had for dinner last night. I'm just trying to be professionally responsible here. But I'm not sure I can hold it in anymore, and Geoff has been petitioning me to remove the self censor. So I'm going to dip my foot back in the water and rant a little bit about Princess 2. As you know, I'm not really one to talk smack about people, I pretty much just like people and don't want to waste my time griping. But Princess 2 is a real piece of work, and has earned my disgust for many reasons, not the least of which is that she has the audacity to scoff "under her breath" at people's opinions during class. Which is very interesting, because she is second only to Snipey in ridiculous, unreasonable right-wing diatribes. I need to bring a damn camcorder to class to record this crap. It's so amusing. We've been studying intermediate judicial scrutiny and sex discrimination in Con Law this week. She's been advocating for the position that, basically, women are not equal to men and thus certain opportunities should naturally be excluded from us because they are physically impossible, etc. WTF? Who says that? First, how does a woman go against her own people like that? Second, speak for yourself, Princess. Third, oh nevermind. I think she and Ann Coulter are lesbians with each other.

The first day of surgery I wasn't such a fan, but it's growing on me. I definitely couldn't do just surgery, because I like to talk to patients. However, I am seriously considering OB/GYN, where I can talk and cut! (Anyone want a hysterectomy?)

I just realized that comment seemed totally out of place unless you know that anna asked me if I really didn't want to be a surgeon. She thinks it would be "rad."

Anna, when you come home will you open the pickle jar? It's a tough one.

totally lol-ing at the Ann Coultier comment

Have you read the Chapter on her (I think it is a whole chapter)in Al Franken's book?

PS read my comment to your comment that I don't think surgery would be interesting on Gretchen's blog. I asked her about standing all day because she mentioned to me that she wasn't looking forward to it.

Shad, I'll be happy to open the pickle jar for you when I get home. Actually I think I should just drop out of school so I can get back home where I belong. I think it's time to admit I'm not smart enough, or good enough to join the good ol' boys lawyer club, and I probably should just stop fighting nature. I will feel better when I'm back in the kitchen where I belong, making cupcakes or something and not thinking about all these these things that make my head hurt.

Ang, I haven't read Franken's new book yet. I was thinking (among other things) about an editorial she had written following the courtroom incident down in Atlanta (?) recently, which was basically about how women aren't good enough to do certain things.

It's funny that the stuff that women aren't as good at as men is the stuff that conservatives don't want around anyway. Gay boy pornstars, man on man dance pornstars, thai ladyboy pornstars, man bears in levi/leather gay pornstars, and sperm doners for stem cell research.

I think I'm making an excellent point.

Thanks, mystery reader! I love when mystery readers check in. Ang told me you had moved out west a while ago. When are you going to start blogging?

Already started. And I'm addicted. Here it is.

Hooray for the end of self censoring!
Having a place to vent is good - it's therapeutic and sometimes it's a highly entertaining read. I vented a little too much a couple of times and had to make 2 additions "private" for fear of being hunted down and placed in the town square stocks. Occasionally I go back and read those entries just to feel a sense of freaky pride that they do exist...although only about 5 people can read them.

Oh yeah, Princess 2 and AC are more than likely gettn' nasty. They only do it on Saturday nights and only while listening to The Grateful Dead "Under a Net" double live album, and only during the warm months..and they don't shave their pits because that is also part of their secret shame.

They get together and chow down on pork rinds mixed with with rocky road ice cream and watch old re-runs of Laverne & Shirley.
