I seem to post a lot while I'm at home, but today I REALLY need to. :/

So I was having a bit of a chat with Climatology Nerd on Facebook yesterday, and we somehow started talking about MOQA, the campus LGBT organization, and why I had stopped attending meetings (besides the fact that they're on Sunday nights and that's when I do most of my work and I'm always too tired and lazy to go at those times anyway). We discussed whether or not making our college gay-friendly is a lost cause, because, well, it isn't all that gay-friendly and it really should be. I mean, after spending two and a half years there, I realized just how much there isn't an out community there -- granted, there's only about 2,400 students total, so I don't know why the activists are expecting such a community to be all that big, but maybe just one that's active and actually visible. But it's just......I sort of knew this starting earlier this year, but part of the reason why there really isn't, and why any sort of activism on campus, LGBT-related or otherwise, doesn't seem to work, is because our college is not diverse at all; if it wasn't so filled with athletes, rich uppity white kids, legacy students, and just about anyone who could pay their way through, I somehow doubt it'd be that much of a problem.

( In which mecteol rants about campus activism yet again, and realizes he may be going to the wrong college. )

In better news, I started writing again yesterday. Because I was bored, I went through old stuff I wrote during high school (especially for Writing Club and my ninth grade Saturday seminar), and that and all the angst I've been feeling lately (partly what I described above, though certainly not all of it) inspired me to get out the creative writing notebook that I haven't cracked open in over three years and write 15 pages of words, images, and story and novel ideas that have been floating around in my subconscious for far too long. It kinda weirds me out that there's a lot of sex, penises, homoeroticism, fantasy elements, nature, cities, war, death, metafiction, song lyrics, and iterations of the word "help" in what I free-wrote. But it's still something. I might try it again tonight, and if I keep this up I'll start looking to see if something's salvagable from all that mess. 8DDDDDDDDD

And now the interview meme, once again! This time from edge_chan:
