oh, dear
I’m following a girl who posts really pretty pictures, but in the last few days, she’s posted some incredibly stupid and/or insensitive opinions. Her latest is that teenage pregnancy isn’t that big of a deal, particularly in regards to other issues (pollution, racism, etc). Seriously? We can all debate until the cows come home what is the largest problem in America, but I promise...

I just want us all to get along. I don’t think people need labels. So you’re heterosexual? Homosexual? Bisexual? Bicurious? Transgender? Transsexual? Androgynous? Polyamorous?
Like, does it really matter? Indulge my tendency to sing Kumbaya as we all hold hands. We are all just people. We should all just be friends. Or at least get along. I will love who I want to love, you will love...

Student 1: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No, I do not.
Student 2: Are you married?

Students: (laughing)
Student 2: (looks embarrassed)

Student 2: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: (laughing) Excellent question. No, I do not have a boyfriend. I do not have a girlfriend. I am single.
Multiple Identical Posts
I’m sure I’m not the only one with a dashboard full of repeat posts. It’s annoying, right? And everytime tumblr is like “Oops, problem, go play on twitter for awhile!” I want to throw a tantrum.

After Jocelyn asked me about my shitty day
Me: and i went to the grocery store, bought a bottle of wine and a few cans of olives, and said "fuck you" to the world
Jocelyn: WOW I love 2011 Brita!
The last five minutes of class today...
Me: What was your favorite part of your Christmas holidays.
Student: Like the others said, New Year's Eve party with my friends.
Me: What did you do at the party?
Student: I can't say...
The entire class: *laughs*
Me: That's okay. I'm guessing I did the same things you did New Year's Eve. But I'm not sure, since you won't say exactly what you did.
