I’m a twenty year old student at San Jose State University. My major is Child and Adolescent Development and I’m hoping to become an elementary school teacher one day. When I have free time, I like to knit/crochet, spend time with my fiancé and friends, play world of warcraft, listen to music, and graphic design. I also like my stuff plain and organized.

Sometimes, there ARE expectations when things happen unexpectedly, but in some cases, this couldn’t be more true; especially with the things that’s happening in my life at the moment.
Rachael Yamagata - Be Be Your Love
Everything’s falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you
And everybody’s talking how I, can’t, can’t be your love

Want to be your love, for real
Everybody’s talking how I, can’t, can’t be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

“I look back on the golden days of my childhood [when] teenage girls were at the very height of their powers: they could ruin your life with two withering sentences. They could have you in tears with the first word … their laconic verbal artillery left shrapnel in the soul for years to come.”
Jezebel’s Megan Carpentier agrees, “Being a bitch requires time and effort and a certain utter lack of caring what people think about you … that simply isn’t done anymore,” and laments people are instead too busy being cool. She argues women are now “constantly playing oneups(wo)manship for who can win the most votes in a neverending popularity contest”: a contest in which The Bitch loses.
“These days, bitching is low-fat, decaffeinated and kick-free,” writes the Guardian’s famous, acerbic columnist, Julie Burchill, in what started this all off. She wants a revival of real bitching.
Yes, the bitch is back, is the new black and the new bible.”
