On Patriarchy and the Military. All the Politics You Need to Know in Four Minutes →. April 18, 2010. This lady is about middle-aged, maybe in her 50’s. She takes Glen Beck seriously, desperately wishes she could attend the next tea party rally, and her car sports a rather large “don’t tread on me” bumper sticker. She claims to be oppressed because “Mexicans are takin her work” but she makes $35/hr to waste my time with Bill O’Reilly talking points. When in doubt invoke the Alamo and Davy Crockett! Those ...

Running With Fireworks: February 2011
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Monday, February 28, 2011. So This is What Life is Supposed to Be Like. Hey Hey. Hey. Guess what? No, seriously, guess. No, come on. Try harder. Oh fine. You're the worst. I may have almost cried. But that would have been cliche, so instead I danced around my apartment without any pants. (Sorry LSBFF). But on the plus side, I get to take tylenol pm every night without feeling like I'm abusing medication. Oh, sleep, how I love you. Links to this post. 8221; instead of, ̶...

Who says law school isn't fun? Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Happy Days Are Here Again! How Can You Not Love This? Let me announce right here my retroactive holiday break. It should have lasted about a week and a half. Okay, now that that's over, back to your regularly scheduled Running With Fireworks Content. But before we speak of the future, let's speak of the past. Here's what has happened to me in the past few days:. I wrote a final exam! My parents won a new Wii at the company Christmas party. ...

Running With Fireworks: Where Do We Go From Here?
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011/05/where-do-we-go-from-here.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Monday, May 2, 2011. Where Do We Go From Here? I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the big news for America. Osama bin Laden is dead. And I keep seeing and hearing tweets and Facebook posts like “Fuck yeah, America,” and “Glad that bastard is dead.”. And while I’m excited, I guess I’m mostly conflicted. I remember when I first heard the name Osama bin Laden. I was fourteen years old. And that was in second period. At any moment.”. It was the news EVERY DAY. And I remember wo...

Running With Fireworks: Indiana, You've Disappointed Me Again...
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011/04/indiana-youve-disappointed-me-again.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Friday, April 29, 2011. Indiana, You've Disappointed Me Again. I am far too busy cross-checking news stories today to be even remotely interested in studying or in writing the paper that's due in approximately 100 hours. Why, you ask? Because the Indiana legislature is at it again. And this is where it gets funny.*. Let's be real: this bill really passed because Planned Parenthood gives abortions ALL THE TIME.* And abortions are bad. But how can we prevent abortions? Mitch ...

Running With Fireworks: January 2011
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Monday, January 31, 2011. Today, I am a Bokononist. Full draft of my article due at 6 pm. Have I finished writing said article? Of course not, don't be ridiculous. So.I'll be doing that. (Must get around to working on not procrastinating.) Hopefully, I survive the next two days (I will, I'm resilient like that) and then I can get back to feeling normal by Wednesday. What that really means is that on Wednesday, I will finally clean the pigsty that I like to call my bedroom.

Running With Fireworks: What is on my face?????
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-is-on-my-face.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Monday, May 23, 2011. What is on my face? Congratulations on finishing up your law school finals and taking a well-deserved break! Now back to your regularly scheduled RWF programming. Not to brag, but I have always had great skin. Ask some of my closest friends. At fifteen, when everyone’s skin resembled a particularly greasy pizza, mine was perfect almost all the time. So imagine my shock when I looked in the mirror a week ago and realized I had wrinkles. Boy insists that...

Running With Fireworks: If It's Too Hot, Then Get Out of the Kitchen
http://runningwithfireworks.blogspot.com/2011/05/if-its-too-hot-then-get-out-of-kitchen.html
Who says law school isn't fun? Monday, May 30, 2011. If It's Too Hot, Then Get Out of the Kitchen. Sorry for the irregular updates. I'm settling into my new life here in Wrigleyville, which comes with its own set of quirks to get used to, such as the fact that Cubs fans are rude and bad at riding the train and that I am living in a house of boys. So between everything else, I haven't had much time for writing. You should get to hear more about my life. Today's fact:. I love to cook. These are mostly fami...

Who says law school isn't fun? Wednesday, October 6, 2010. I Can Go The Distance. (And So Can You! Oh man. This has been one of those weeks. On Monday, my body was sure it was Thursday, and it's been confused about why the weekend hasn't started ever since. Today my goal was just to stay awake and I nearly failed. Twice. And since I'm not really in the mood to wax poetic, I gift you with a List. How To Keep Going Even Though You Want Desperately to Say "Screw It". 1 Just do it. 4 Take a Break. On the Rec...
