Running into the ex who sexually assaulted you for the first time in over a year

YEAH, FUCK THAT SHIT

UGG BARF UGG

I guess I didn’t realize that this was Happy Shit-All-Over-My-Body-Confidence Day!

Thanks guy friend who told me I have thick legs!

Thanks parents for telling me to lose weight!

I just feel so great about myself right now! :D

Ugg, official social idiot blog 2012…

Smug classist privilege showing up on my fb newsfeed from people I know from high school. I will always shut that shit down. BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL TILL I DIE, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK! Seriously, I don’t care about pissing off these stupid high school bitches who don’t know about fucking ANYTHING whatsoever.

UGG, I AM JUST SO LIVID RIGHT NOW.

The internship program that I was planning to apply to this summer said on its main webpage that the application is open from October 15 to January 15 every year. Okay, that’s cool. I kinda waited to the last second to finish my essays, but I have every other component of my application pretty much in order, including my faculty reference form which was already sent in…

Well, I guess I was fucking wrong because I stupidly DID NOT save the application I had been working on. So basically, I have to start over from scratch the day it’s due. Okay, so that’s kinda annoying, but it’ll be okay…

WRONG AGAIN

I look at the “date” listed by the electronic application. It says January 12, 2012. At this point, shits are being flipped. WHAT THE FUCK?? The website for the internship program clearly says it’s open from October 15 to January 15. Well, I guess the website’s wrong and the application is fucking late!! I frantically tried to access the application, hoping to submit it and plead my case over the phone on Tuesday. Well, I guess the universe is trying to send me the signal that I am not meant for this thing because the application keeps getting hung up on the same page. This is hopeless. Ugg, I’m just so frustrated at both myself and the internship program right now. I feel like such an idiot for wasting a perfectly good opportunity like this. :/

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates:

Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

I just finished watching the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I just gotta say that I absolutely NEED all of Willow’s outfits. They just exude ’90s nerd girl charm. Also, Buffy’s outfits aren’t bad either.

“Imagine, if you will, a man who, as Speaker of the House, orchestrates the impeachment of a President for an adulterous affair with a White House aide twenty-six years his junior while he himself is conducting an adulterous affair with a congressional aide twenty-two years his junior, having earlier left the first of his three wives while she was hospitalized with cancer. Imagine a man who attributes these behaviors to “how passionately I felt about this country.” Imagine a man who, told he can’t sit in a front section of Air Force One, shuts down the government. Imagine a man who becomes the only House Speaker ever to be disciplined for ethics violations. Imagine a man who, in a country just staggering out of the worst recession of the past fifty years and facing the threat of worldwide economic collapse, proposes to hire small children to work as janitors, mopping floors and cleaning toilets in their schools (or their orphanages, perhaps). Imagine that man as Commander-in-Chief.”

I refuse to imagine this.

I’ve been pondering if a Gingrich nomination would ultimately be beneficial for Obama’s re-election chances, since Romney would (somehow) give his campaign a run for the money. At least according to the polls. Plus I love picking on Gingrich and can you imagine how frighteningly hilarious a Gingrich Presidential campaign would be? (More terrifying than funny, I know, but work with me on this one. On second thought…I’m not sure. I think I’m too optimistic of human nature to flirt with the idea of him in that position in the first place.).

The “lovely” email that I just sent to my female residents…

Dear ladies,

It has recently come to my attention that we’ve been having issues in the community bathroom. I know that this email doesn’t apply to everyone because a few of y’all have suite bathrooms. However, for the vast majority of y’all, it does. Ladies, poop smeared on the toilet rim and left there is UNACCEPTABLE!! Our housekeepers work hard to clean the bathrooms, and they should not be subjected to cleaning up that kind of shit (in the most literal sense in this case!). We are not five-year-olds; if you make a mess, clean it up yourself. These are the new community bathroom standards:

1. If you make a mess that you can clean up on your own, then clean it up yourself! If it requires extra cleaning or help, please kindly notify me or one of the housekeeping staff members if they’re on duty.

2. Pick up your own hair after you shower! In addition, pick up other’s hair! You don’t have to touch it; just grab a piece of toilet paper, pick it up yourself, and throw it in the trash!

3. If you clog a toilet, file a maintenance request form on it. MRFs can be filed online through your “My Housing Status” page. If you don’t know how to fill one out, ask me how.

4. Do a “courtesy flush.” If there’s stuff remaining in the bowl after one flush, do another one. In addition, you have to hold down the handle on the toilets in the community bathroom, otherwise they won’t flush.

If the community bathroom standards do not improve, then I’m going to have take to disciplinary action. I really don’t want to do this, so let’s please work hard to keep the bathroom cleaned!

Your RA,
Rachel Engler
