Earth Day!

So, tomorrow is Earth Day for anyone who doesn’t already know about it! There is going to be a super fun celebration called “Earth Jam 2010” for it on Saturday in Plymouth which will involve: tie dying, solar powered live music, local food buffet, and eco friendly vendors! :D I so plan on going because it should be a really fun time and it is for a good cause. Ever since I have started working at the Center for Rural Partnerships (people on the streets call it the CfRP) I have become more environmentally conscious and I am kind of turning into a hippy! Tomorrow, in celebration for Earth Day, the Center for Rural Partnerships (among a lot of other environmental groups) will be in front of the HUB. The Center is going to be giving out tiny potted plants to anyone who wants to grow herbs, vegetables or flowers. It should be a fun time, especially because I don’t get out much to do anything and this will be a good opportunity for me to not be as much of a hermit. Craig is going to stop by the booth and visit me, which should be exciting! I absolutely adore Craig, he is funny, nice and cute (see Craig, you are attractive) I just love him! <3



Here is Craig, he doesn't think that he is attractive but I think that he is and that is all that matter! (Please answer this question for me...is Craig attractive?)

                In my ST: Taboo class we are reading Lolita and it is turning out to be an interesting book about pedophilia and rape, but it is done in a tasteful manner. It is about a 40 year-old man who has a thing for young, prepubescent girls…but they cannot be just any young girls, they have to be “nymphets” (A type of young girl who knows she is being seductive and turning men on.) The interesting thing about the book is the reader starts to begin to feel that it is Lolita that is seducing the older man and he was just a pawn in her game. This has to be one of the only books that makes the rapist seem like the victim.Below is a very controversial cover to the novel...over sexualizing a 12 year-old girl much?!

  1. I do love a tasteful rape! (Have you ever seen "The Crush" with Alicia Silverstone? It's like the trash B movie version of "Lolita." Totally worth renting and LOLing over.

    Did you know that tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day AND Ben's birthday?

    And Craig is very attractive. At least in that picture. If I saw him blowing snot rockets and whacking old ladies in the head with bricks I might be a bit less keen.
