tired of being single

I wish that I could find a healthy and sane, yet interesting relationship with someone. I am tired of being drained by shitty relationships. I want something real, but I am not willing to compromise myself anymore. However, it really sucks being single. I have needs that aren't being met and it pisses me off.

a lazy day here in Austin

I went to the store earlier to cash my check so I can pay rent and I bought some stuff to make farfalle (bow-tie pasta) alfredo.  I tried to activate my VISA card but my cell phone died on me, so I have to wait til later when I can borrow S's phone.

I don't feel like doing much else today.  I should work on the article that I am writing, but I am just not feelin' it today.  I'm not in a bad mood, but I am not particularly motivated today.  I'm just going to sit here and listen to country.

feminist quotes that I dig

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, "It's a girl." ~Shirley Chisholm

Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors. ~Evelyn Cunningham

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people. ~Cheris Kramarae and Paula Treichler

There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women. ~Madeleine K. Albright

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man. ~Margaret Mead

got back from my trip

I am now back in Austin after being gone for two weeks.  One week I was in Denton and this past week I was in Houston.  I came back so emotionally drained after dealing with family stuff in H-town.  The ex is slipping into madness, I fear, and there is nothing I can do about it.

I am still hoping to be able to go to the Race, Poverty, and Media Justice program at POOR Magazine this summer.  I got invited to go, but I have to work out housing arrangements so I can make it happen.  Going to the program could really help my writing career.
