Hmm, Senator. Sounds nice, doesnt it. They decided to take away everything that makes life on this campus semi-bearable(Radio, Concerts, clubs, Osprey Productions) so they got me 
. So, now Im running for senate. Oh what a strange life.
In other news, it was over 200 years in the coming, but it is now official the campus is a free-speech zone!
The same University President...

Hmmm....The drag queen spent like 5 minutes making fun of me at the show for being straight. But, then I look at my life and you know what shes kinda right. I wouldnt be entirely happy living my life a different way from the way I am now, but at the same time. Look at my life, it does not give me everything I need....

you're not saying you want to be a drag queen... are you?
just kidding
just kidding You know its really great when your drunk and you start to realize things that youve been so damn successful at hiding, even from yourself. My soul suffers and I must confront my pain or must I continue to suffer, for the only way to relieve my suffering is to cause another suffering. I have always chosen the second path but I am old and...

I am gonna get WASTED tonight(its the first time in 3 months )

Okay, so now for the weekly PRIDE update. Some of our 'spies' have told us that EXODUS has decided that we are sticking our heads up too far and next year they are going to try to bring us back down to 'where we should be'. Point two, we have been talking about what we want to do next year. Everybody has decided to go...

Yikes. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. good luck.
Well, two of my friends got engaged yesterday. It was really great because I know they will be great together .... for two or three years. It sucked for two reasons. First, the fool knew better; why would he do something like this, to both him and his fiancee. She was 22, he only needed to wait 3 more years and the marriage might actually...

oh wow, i just noticed you are 18. um....not that that matters that much, but as with anyone that is 18, I'd suggest reading and rereading Plato and Aristotle. Seriously. you can read other stuff, but right now, you should be totally concentrating on Plato and Aristotle. Reading them, studying them, copying them into your notes. Again and again and again. I can't overemphasize this. READ THEM. ALOT. and if you are planning on going to graduate school in the liberal arts GET USED TO IT.
re: process philosophy- anything by David Griffin is excellent. He is THE MAN when it comes to process philosohpy right now. Of course, you should also browse through Process and Reality by Alfred North Whitehead, but don't expect to understand it--I'd suggest just reading the last chapter, actually. The rest is mostly epistemlogy and metaphysics that gets pretty dry if you aren't familiar with LOTS of history of philosophy (which is why my first suggestion is always to go back to Plato and Aristotle--most of Process and Reality is about the Greeks...).
Inasmuch as theology is concerned...I'm not a big fan. Theology is not my field--philosophy of religion, specifically Christianity, was my field. Some of my fav Christian thinkers were Hume, Kierkegaard, Luther, Kierkegaard, CS Lewis, Doestoivski, and maybe I'd even group in Nietzche and Camus as Christian thinkers (but I'm pretty controversial. there...).
Oh yes, and try and get a copy of John Hick's "Evil and the God of Love." As a theist undergraduate student, your biggest problem will be asshole professors that ask "if God is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then why is there genuine evil in the world?" That is, theodicy. John Hick in "Evil and the God of Love" presents a clear and valid defense of his belief that there is a Christian God that is both omnibenevolent and omnipotent. John Hick is one of my favorite Christian philosophers, and I'm sure you'd enjoy anything he wrote.
The authors I suggested are rather well known, and so you shouldnt have too much trouble bringing them up in classes with your professors. The authors you mentioned I'd not heard of. It could be that I'm just out of the loop right now, but I've only been out of grad school for a year, so I'd imagine that your professors have led you to them because they studied under them (BEWARE of that, by the way...)....or maybe you just happened on them at the library.
Regardless--my advice is to stick close to the classics until you absolutely have to read something else. And the christian philosophers I mentioned, of course.
Good Luck to ya,

Very tired right now but wanted to post three things. 1) My best friend who I hardly ever see anymore and who recently diseappered off the face of the earth is okay, she's just tired and worn out like I am. Shes stopped going to PRIDE meetings for the time being. 2) Another one of my friends sent in her application to be an SG...

neato that you know process theism. my advisor as an undergrad is one of the big names in process theology right now. i hated it at first, but now that I'm not so angry at anything that smells like constructive thought or analytic philosophy, i like it alot.
How'd you learn about process thought?

Sociology rocks! :-) I'm interested most major areas of sociological study, but my favorites are also sexuality and gender, as well as some criminal studies, and economic/consumer development. At the moment I'm in heaven as I'm taking classes on gender roles AND work-and-society. Are you studying anything interesting right now?
Alright,
So the drag show was last night. It went off so well. Considering that this is the same campus where I got in the newspaper(reasonably-sized picture too) for actually dancing at a concert and the same campus where outside of the club theres only maybe 15 GLBT people while inside there's like 130. Wackadoo(the local eating establishment) clocked over 600 people coming to the...
