The Inevitable Avoidance Project- October 30, 2005 Always, always, when I've dedicated a weekend to studying, I come up with an idea so absolutely brilliant that it MUST be completed immediately. This weekend's must do (but am trying hard not to) is a ripoff of this cool...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001186.php Good Girl- October 28, 2005 I got an email from a friend last week that said only: "You're a bad, bad girl." And I really couldn't argue. Today, however, the tables have turned! I am done being sick, and nothing's better than feeling normal again...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001185.php Monsters in the Closet- October 26, 2005 At a private school in New Jersey, students have been told to take down their web pages and myspace profiles or be suspended. The reason the school officials give is that this kind of personal information is providing easy prey...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001181.php Define Yourself- October 25, 2005 I ran across this essay on why game censorship doesn't make sense, and mostly, it's a good read.

Then it goes on to define "changing your...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001178.php Sick- October 23, 2005 I'm feeling monumentally grumpy today, mostly because I'm sick, and I'm so rarely sick that I shouldn't complain about it at all, but instead, should spend my time being sick just sort of marvelling and being thankful at how long...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001177.php Buying a Car- October 20, 2005 One thing. I'm going to be really glad when the guy in my office has finally bought his damn car, and quits talking on the phone to various car salesmen, loan people and god knows who else. Has he no...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001176.php Hello World- October 19, 2005 There's nothing quite like spending a weeknight drinking enough to get a little tipsy, then rocking out to the Dropkick Murphys, smashed up against a pleasantly solid guy, who I don't have to worry about squishing, and music so loud...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001174.php The One Where I Say In Your Face- October 18, 2005 Last night in class we got our first paper back for my operations class. This was the paper where we fought over what topic to use, and then I just did all the work for my topic, and no one...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001172.php Monday Whining- October 17, 2005 I really hate it when I close my window with a post half-written, already. Sigh. But I was only whining on and on about my study group, so I guess there's not much missed. The thing that really irks me...http://www.emilystarr.com/archives/001171.php Bruises, Ribbons and Trucks- October 14, 2005 I got the worst bruises I've ever gotten at a concert last night.
