Mmm, rainstorm is nice. It actually poured here tonight, which is very unusual for Atlanta. Apparently all the air pollution makes the storm patterns break around it, but we had a proper thunderstorm going on tonight, which has lowered the stifling temperature of my dorm room quite a bit. Unfortunately, I had left my windows open to catch the breeze and now the entire left side of my bed is drenched. The sacrafices we make.
Paper outline is done, though I don't know how much sense it makes. Its kinda one of those topics that could fill a major 20 page paper and I'm trying to do it in 5 pages, so I really need to focus. However, beyond taking some research with me for the long-ass hours in the van, I'm not gonna worry about it until after Spring Break.
Work was moderately more interesting today, due in part to the fact that I was working with other interns on a mass-mailing. This was bad b/c the whole thing was poorly organized and we ended up doing most of the work the staff should have done, but it was good b/c I got the chance to hang out with the other girls and bitch about the regular staff. Everyone knows there's no finer bonding experience than snarking about something stupid you have to do.
The other half of work was very odd, as it always is, b/c I'm involved with a middle school girls mentoring program. Every time I set foot in that school, it just opens up old wounds dating way back to my own miserable middle school days and how much I just wanted to die most of the time. I want to tell these girls it'll get better, but I know they won't believe me; hell, I don't even believe me.
We're doing a unit on pregnancy prevention, and today's topic was abstinence. Now, normally, this would not be a word to come out of my mouth, but we're talking about 12 year old girls, and girls whose only hope for a better future may lie in NOT getting pregnant early and dropping out like so many of the people around them. These girls are so smart and funny, it just breaks my heart when they ask questions like "what do I do if my boyfriend tells all his friends that I slept with him and I didn't," or "if I've just gotten my period and I'm fucking a 21 yr old, could I get pregnant?" Dear Lord, it makes me want to cry.
Sorry for the downer, there, I keep hoping some funny things will happen to me soon, but lately its been no dice. As Cartman would say, "I think I have broken my funny bone; I will never laugh again." I need some fun crazy shit going on in my life. Well, tomorrow's trivia night, which is always good for a laugh assuming drama doesn't occur, and then I'll have a week traveling up the east coast, which should be funny fodder. However, if I just kill Jamie and leave her body by the wayside, I don't think that's the good kind of funny, her low self-esteem issues be damned. =)
Ok, sleep is good, though I'll probably look for some decent fics first. I have good shit to read, but somehow I'm never in the mood to look stuff up, and my lists lately (for the most part) have been less than satisfactory. There's still really good shit being written, but its all drowned in so much absolute dreck that it depresses my soul just to look for it. However, there are still those lovely stories that make it worthwhile. Jade, you tease, write me some more Fallen, its such a great concept that I want to see where you're going to take it. However, don't let this distract you from your delicious RPS fics, since they completely make my day.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ivyblossom keeps promising more Quiescient, but I'm gonna have to hold my breath until my face turns blue, I think. ;)
Seriously going to bed now; I have The Dante Club just beckoning to me. Well, maybe just one more little ficcie. Heh, I have such an addiction.
