Facts and Confessions

Fact: When I wear my sunglasses, I feel like ten times cooler. The only problem is that I have to take them off when I go inside.

Confession: I couldn't help myself--I had to watch The Fault In Our Stars today! It was pretty good, though almost out of principle I have to say that the book is my favorite. I'm glad I went.

Fact: I realized tonight that, while I won't miss having a car too much, I will miss that feeling of having all the windows rolled down, the wind everywhere, the music too loud, and singing along.

Confession: (deep breath) I'm a feminist! Phew, I said it! Here is the definition of feminism: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. I mean, how can I not be a feminist after studying literature, where female writers don't even really appear until the Romantic/Victorian period. And even then, how many of them kept the fact that they were female a secret? And how many of them even got to go to a University? And how many of them were taken seriously? But I'm not an extremist--I still shave my legs and stuff. I just like that I can be independent and think and act for myself unlike so many women of the past.

It's all kind of random, I know, but I was feeling kind of random tonight. There you have it!
