okay, no more whining about lumpy boobs....tomorrow, two midterms...three papers due...Have to admit to absolutely loving social/political philosophy...Big essay on Mill's On Liberty will be due...How cool is this:
"the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical of moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of others, to do so would be wise or even right. These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise."
Fucking brilliant...

he pays his measley child support, and can't understand why i never ask for more, or ask him to buy stuff. because when he does it turns into this big, "well if you can't handle her, maybe i should have custody." she's autistic, he has no idea how many dr appts i go to, or what i have to go through to do for her. so he's just a poop.
crushes are fun, but i'm dealing with a painfully shy person, and i can't read him. i'd rather have the crush, it keeps my life kinda spicy.
