Is it my turn? Well, I'm sorry that I have no clue why men are afraid of widows. I'm the least qualified person to answer that question.

Well, let's see...I've had a diss experience. I had a Kerry bumper sticker on the door of my dorm room and someone ripped it off. I also heard that some people had Kerry signs in their yards and they were burned. I've been seeing lots of "Marriage: One Man, One Woman" bumper stickers, and I had to make myself not rip them off or key the person's car, but the thing is, I didn't, no matter how much I wanted to! I'm the one who should be angry enough to rip off a bumper sticker or two, anyway, not them!

Anyway, I have a crush on this girl in my history class and she's so heterosexual, damn it. And she has no idea I like her. And I'll be trying to focus on the Congress of Vienna or the Concert of Europe and I'll start having visions of the two of us slow dancing. It's so pathetic. The girl is perfect. She's absolutely perfect. And she's totally oblivious to that. The long, curly red hair, the deep brown eyes, the curves, the innocent smile, the freckles--it's all perfect. Damn it. Her voice is even perfect whenever she decides to speak to me. It's an unfortunate event when she does, because I'm always totally at a loss. Sometimes she tries to talk to me and I just can't say anything at all. I try to talk, but nothing comes, so I just give up and thumb through my notebook.

Wow. It felt good to rant about that. And it also felt oh so pathetic.
