Once Upon A Dream

Yesterday
Nick and I went to see The Last Kiss last night at Celebration. In the middle of the movie, I thought I head a tornado siren but shrugged it off because I always think I'm hearing a tornado siren.

Nick kept pointing out that the projector was making weird noises and he was getting nervous about it which made me nervous. The whole theater was really anxious and everyone kept shifting in their seats.

I began to hear the rain start falling a lot more than it had been. It was pounded loudly on the roof but there wasn't any thunder, just rain pouring down. Suddenly there was a big booming noise and the power went out. No one screamed or anything thank goodness because I hate when people scream when the power goes out.

Anyway so the power went out and we just sat there. Nick (thank goodness he was there) grabbed my hand and started talking to me. He just kept talking trying to calm me down as the power came back on. I told him I was okay, just surprised and we sat in the theater murmuring for thirty seconds just waiting for someone to tell us what to do.

As a girl got up to leave the theater and see what was happening, someone came into the theater: "There's a tornado warning and we need you all to come into the hallway."

There was no hesitation as we all gathered our things and left the theater. As we got outside, Nick noticed I was shaking and he talked me down again. My parents were gone this weekend so I was worried about Hannah and Nathaniel. I called them and they were okay so I was okay.

We sat in the hallway for about half an hour and in that time we were told that two tornadoes had touched down and were heading north towards us. The tornado warning was over at 6:30 but then extended to 6:42 so everyone just sort of sat around waiting. We got free passes to another movie so it was okay.

Yeah, it was fun. Tornado warnings have always freaked me out, ever since I was a little kid. The first one I remember was when I was in first or second grade when we lived in McHenry, IL. I was in the kitchen at the table with my mom and a tornado warning came on the little TV.

I love you all.

Fajer's last post, in response to my post, has prompted me to write this post. Comments just aren't enough, I'm afraid.

feminists critique religion
"it's an incredible con job when you think of it, to believe something now in exchange for life after death. even corporations with all their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous." - gloria steinem, 1980

"it's interesting to speculate how it developed that in two of the most anti-feminist institutions, the church and the law court, the men are wearing the dresses." - flo kennedy in color me flo, 1976.

"man enjoys the great advantage of having a god endorse the code he writes." - simone de beauvoir, from her existentialist book, the second sex.

"one of my favorite fantasies is that next sunday not one single woman, in any country of the world, will go to church. if women simply stop giving our time and energy to the institutions that oppress, they would cease to be." - sonia johnson, 1984

"patriarchy itself is the prevailing religion of the entire planet." - mary daly

I just wrote my first horrid paper of the semester and told my boyfriend that I didn't want to see him this weekend because all he does is play WoW.

Yay.

I'm in a mood. Damn period.

quick freak-out session
if i have to hear that women are "naturally just more emotional" or "have more emotions" than men one more fucking time, i'm gonna beat you to death just like the rest of my non-emotional male mates might.

okay, well of course not. but PLEASE. let's look up the definition of emotion before we speak. allow me to shell out some interesting statistics about over-emotional women. er, excuse me, i meant OVER-EMOTIONAL MEN.

1) more than three women are murdered by their husbnads or boyfriends in the US every day. in the year 2000 alone, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner.

2) in 2000, intimate partner homicides accounted for 33.5% of the murders of women and less than 4% of the murders of men.

3) pregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homocide than to die of any other cause.

should i go into spousal abuse, child abuse, molestation, rape, and other irrational behaviors exhibited by men? or do they not count because crying isn't involved?

get a god damn clue, already.

I LOVE YOU.

I don't know if any of you knew Linnae but her father (who taught at Rockford) passed away last night.

My sister and I were digging through our old VHS tapes and we found The Princess and the Goblin. It wasn't as wonderful as we remembered.

We also found our old Hello Kitty tapes. I love Hello Kitty. We watch Hello Kitty Cinderella and Hello Kitty Heidi. It was fantastic.

My father comes home at some point today. His flight was delayed.

I have homework to do whenever I become not lazy.

I love you all.

P.S. I bought Nick an alarm clock. It's also a night light.

P.P.S. The Princess and the Goblin had a preview for Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland before it. I love that movie too.
