When it comes to recordings, only one person is require by Oklahoma law to know about the recording. It can be just the recorder, and the people being recorded are not required to know about it.

This spring a friend of my family who had 2 children (also my friends) going to Norman high said she was trying to get the school and the local police to update their sexual assault education, since it was barely adequate. It is truly terrifying to hear that this was happening the entire time, and now it's only just…

Although I loved this article, I am really not sure if the term illegal immigrant applies to Saartjie Baartman. I don't think the idea of we have illegal immigrant truly existed back then. Baartman lived and worked in Europe without license, and was never cited for it in court. She did testify that she was performing…

Well, I won't be going to sleep tonight...

I'm terrified that I'm going to end up in a marriage with a child with children and give up on all of my dreams to teach someone that keeping a relatively clean house is not a terrifying thing.

I hate that shit. I had a roommate who did not know how to use a dishwasher or a washing machine. My old flatmate and I (both girls) didn't realize until 9 months of living with him that we were doing his dishes for him and that he took his dirty clothes home each weekend for his mother to clean. We asked him to wash…

I lived with my ex and another guy. I am not a neat person, but I do care that things are hygienic. Noticeable dust and filth, especially in common areas, should be cleaned. I've lived with other girls who were much cleaner than me, so I assumed that my standards and the standards of the men I lived with were the same.

Maybe he's still a Buddhist and this is a shooting star moment.

As an atheist, I am irked by other people that seem to think their lack of belief in a certain religion makes them superior enough to make snide remarks, especially in the face of a tragic event a religious person goes through.

My plan is to stock up on sugar-free Haribo gummi bears in case of constipation. Not sure if that'll be a regret or not.

If you guys have a PC & 13 GB of free space, she might be in luck. EA sent this out last week.

I also have them on disc only, but if you still have the product code of the CD you can get a digital copy. That's the way it is with most EA games now.

OH MY GOD. Your comment gave me a flashback to weekends at my grandmother's house as a child. My younger brother and I would pile all the Barbies I'd amassed from X-mas presents, into either my Barbie jeep or Barbie corvette (also presents), and send the car down my grandmother's very steep driveway until it crashed…

I am distracted from her message by the image of the pressure marks around her forehead when she takes this headband off.

I know, right??!
I am a bit unnerved about the sudden knee-jerk attraction that hit me when I saw that picture of him.

To be honest the only Yaels I know are French in nationality, perhaps with some Jewish ethnic background, but they were Serge Gainsbourg kind of adherent—which is to say not religious at all—so that aspect of that heritage was not really apparent.

Yeah, I definitely think she falls under science fiction. I think Atwood just doesn't like putting herself in boxes, and thus feels that speculative fiction, which is a sub-genre for a lot of genres, is more freeing?

Well, I dunno if something like Star Trek is necessarily about present day ideas. I mean, I would say that it might have tried to be like, "look! in the future people of all races get along and women and men are more equal", but it didn't really have to be grounded in reality in order to explore these things, and…

(it's kind of bad)

I think her thing was always that in her opinion "science fiction" is akin to fantasy in that it creates an entirely new universe apart from ours, with new things that are independent of human existence. She likes the "speculative fiction" term because all of her sci-fi stuff is based on speculations about the way our…
