Could someone introduce me to this sleep person everyone's been talking about? He sounds really cool and I would like to make his acquaintance.

I need to find a place in town that I can take a nap while I'm killing time between class and work.......... oh well... it'll be a mostly moot point in about a week.

The only thing that sucks about finishing a paper at 1am is the realization that you have to get up in 5 hours to turn it in.

I've been thinking a lot about the protest rallies around Topeka lately. I wish I could jump on board with the people who are trying to get Fred Phelps censured in our city. But I can't. It has a lot to do with the idea that while they're hiding it under the guise of the local obscenity laws, but its still censure.

Then, there is the tactics they are using. While their signs aren't obscene, they are still hateful. Not to a large group of people, or even one who is undeserving of the hate... but its still hate none the less.

People were injured in the protests this weekend. A member of the Phelps clan assaulted a member of the Unity Blvd people. A member of the Phelps clan was assaulted by a person that wasn't involved with either group. Someone went to the hospital. They are using it as a propaganda ploy. They are turning the people from Unity that were injured into heros and martyrs (can't be a martyr unless you die, but who knows how far this could go)

I firmly believe that if Unity Blvd hadn't arisen, the Phelps wouldn't have come back. We would ignor them into oblivion... its not as fast or as active, but I think its more effective.

But what do I know. I'm just a simple person who would like to believe in something, but fails miserably.

Things that I don't like, today:
1 Colds
2 being cold
3 media personalities
4 space between two points
5 extremely random non-sensical insults

so I'm a bit whiny today, but I'll live

I think I'm starting to get over my personal paranoia. And the reason for that is that I see how miserable other people who are paranoid feel. They come to me, seeking advice and assurance that their significant other really does like them/ isn't seeing someone else/ didn't have a horrible time on their last date. I guess its just perspective, that their problems actually seem worse to them than the ones I have do to me.
