things that were okay in the bible

• incest
• polygamy
• almost killing your son

it’s not a slippery slope if it’s already been slid down

hey this is the guy I’m doing my painting presentation on!! what a coincidence

I had to ok

billbuttlicker- replied to your post: I want to send you a “Wreck this Journal.”

What if people from tumblr got one copy and took turns with it and sent it around like “sisterhood of the traveling pants” but way cooler. It would be great.

THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST THING

shipping on something as big as a book is at least a couple bucks though, so each person should at least get 3 or 4 pages

but yeah we should organize this…this summer or something…I’m diggin’ it…

oh wow! that would be really cool of you, actually, I’m pretty flattered. I would totally complete it (and document it) if you did

but giving my address to an anon is, uh

kind of problematic..hm…

well today was

pretty weird

spanish was dumb as always god every day I just think about how annoying it is that I spend 70 minutes in there when I could probably be learning these ridiculously simple little grammar concepts outside of class in a fraction of the time

maybe it’ll be better having it in fifth hour instead of first next trimester

took a calc quiz, kind of panicked for no good reason and totally botched a problem, but hopefully I’ll only miss a point or two

watched this HORRIFYING video in psych about prenatal development ugh ugh ugh fetuses are the worst thing there’s just so many things that can go wrong! the main one that gets me is the parasitic twins, where one of them like consumes the other one and then they’re born with this little cyst-shriveled-skeleton on their skin gdfsfh

and fetuses in general are just super creepy, like when their eyeballs are forming and they have little runty arms and stretched skin on their head oh god

anyway

wrote my essay for my admission to the arts program in fourth hour, which is probably the only real positive/productive thing that happened all day. it’s only like ~400 words but it’s still nice to have that off my shoulders (great literary achievements are not expected from art students)

I’m nearly done with my cat-vacuum painting, which is exciting! it’s not quite as detailed as I’d maybe like but I really lose patience with paint quickly. I’ve actually dabbed huge splotches of paint on the canvas accidentally because I get so fed up with it and don’t really look where I’m placing my brush. but overall I think I like it and I should be able to finish it up tomorrow

also normally my table is really terrific and hilarious but today there was a lot of cat-fighting (uhhh no pun intended) going on and it was pretty uncomfortable, I guess it’s good this is the last week of the trimester

yes ok that concludes this inane report

I feel like this is really accurate dang

but this is probably how just how I like to see myself

I, uh

I guess I’m making pony mondays a thing

get out while you still can

dude if they allow terrariums/aquariums at gvsu this is totally a thing I will consider??

I don’t know what hell is like but I’m going to guess it’s something like memebase.com

I’m playing mapcrunch

I’m on a tiny remote island off the coast of japan and I don’t think there’s any airports here?? but I found a big port..couldn’t I theoretically…sail all the way home…this is stupid I don’t understand how this works

WHY DOES THIS WORK SO WELL

a thing I did today because I wanted to do some graphic design and also because lame jokes

are they? I thought the stat was something like 6% of the population which seemed pretty reasonable

yeah they’re supposedly really good accountants/judges/lawyers etc. because of how ridiculously logic-oriented and analytic they are, which doesn’t totally match my personality and interests but I guess it pretty much describes the way I think and act. the thought of being basically the most robotic subtype makes me kind of uneasy, but oh well.

ISTJ. it’s actually on my bio/about me page haha. I’m curious, why do you ask?

I’m starting to feel like a lot of people are really fucked up. but fucked up in a way that is so cleverly disguised and hidden that you wouldn’t really notice it unless you closely examined all their motives and reasoning and the way they think. but really, when you think about unconscious defense mechanisms, and the way most of us learn to cope and interact with the people around us, a lot of us are almost delusional. we have all these irrational thoughts and behaviors; we’ve just learned to manipulate them in a way that’s socially acceptable and can usually pass as pretty typical to others. but it’s pretty disturbing to think that you could have some major shortcoming negatively impacting your relationships with other people that you’re totally oblivious to. and there’s such a weird aversion to actually trying to help people improve themselves, and at the same time, accepting well-intentioned criticisms, that a lot of relationships just devolve into passive-aggressive warfare and bitterness. people are so arrogant and quick to get defensive about their flaws. I mean, obviously you should be evaluating such claims and really taking a good look at how you tend to behave and why, but…I don’t know. it’s upsetting to think about.

I’ve been trying to be more conscious of my own destructive tendencies, and a lot of the time I’m pretty self-serving. I have trouble feeling actual remorse and empathy for people, and I make far too many excuses for myself. I just hate to think that there’s something truly unpleasant rooted in my personalty that might not be blatantly obvious, but tends to rub people the wrong way. I’m mostly happy with who I am and I’m not trying to please everyone I meet, but I want to be…aware of these things. I think it’s really important.

blah blah I think too much

today I:

• got a spanish test back (aced it)
• got a calc quiz back (aced it)
• took a psych test I feel fairly confident about
• ate fried chicken

I THINK THAT MAKES IT A PRETTY GOOD DAY, RIGHT? what else could you possibly need
