For the Love of God, WHY?!?!?!

Political rant is coming...right...now:

WHY SARAH PALIN WHY?

After three devastatingly hilarious interviews in which Sarah Palin made a dumb-ass of herself on national television, I realize that these encounters were not only funny, but downright scary. If McCain wins this election, this hockey mom will be--to quote Cafferty--"one 72-year-old's heartbeat away" from the PRESIDENCY. The ACTUAL PRESIDENCY. As in McCain catches the flu in February and dies, only to be replaced by Palin, who can see Russia from her house and "acts increasingly adorable when cornered." (thank you Amy Poehler) Let's face it: her answers run in a never-ending circle of "tax reductions" and "job creation" that make me dizzier than the teacup ride at Six Flags. She acts cute and folksy to charm the voters. When comments pour in about her daughter's pregnancy and her own special-ed baby, Fox News (and don't even let me get started on THEM) and various supporters claim that people are "being sexist" when just a few months ago they were giving Hillary a hard time for having some emotional moments, telling her not to use the "gender card." ARGHHHHHH.

And to think I once thought Obama was too green to run for president. You got my vote now, dude.

Middlebury: Must Make Pros List

1. MOQA - Which stands for Middlebury Open Queer Alliance. At last, I can reveal my true colors!

2. Dining Halls - Which has amazing food every day. And the chocolate milk is to die for. I'm going for more ice cream, freshmen 15 be damned.

3. Not Working - At least for this semester. No more bitchy customers, no more last minute shifts, no more itchy scratchy green shirts...

4. No Helicopters - Helicopter parents, that is. I may sit on my ass in front of this screen all day if I choose to do so.

5. Independence - I'm making decisions on my own all the time now. Well okay, it's a good thing most of the time anyway.

A Metaphor Of My Life

This is what happened during Convocation at Middlebury a few days ago:

During the president's address, there is a cane that is passed around the first year students. Legend has it that the cane, once used by a very venerable professor at Midd, possesses "magical powers" and "good luck" for anyone who touches it. So, the cane goes from freshman to freshman, each n00b getting his or her own chance to have an awesome time during college or accomplish something huge here. The cane eventually makes its way to me.

I have no idea what the hell this long piece of wood is doing in my hands (haha, insert sex joke here, here, and here.) I look at some of the freshmen, bewildered as to what I am supposed to do next. Frustrated, a girl sitting next to me simply yanks the cane away, absorbs her share of good luck, and gives the cane to the next lucky guy.

And that, my internet audience, was a dead-on summary of my high school career. I don't even know when opportunity will come my way until it's right in my face, flashing its goodies before me, and even then--! I will sit there, dazed and confused, and go: wtf? Who are you? Opportunity will then become pissed off and move on to someone more deserving of its gifts.

And I am still sitting there. Wondering. And when I realize what has just happened, it will be too late. It will always be too late.

Good night.
