Returning the favour.

Getting a reference in a blog by a person I don't know is really nice. Even better, this guy is a writer. I guess it is cool to know that people who I don't know about read my writing. Check out his blog.

Transnational.

A girl in my Women's Studies tutorial commented that she had a hard time believing that Muslim women who wear the hijab can call themselves liberated. She explained that they have to cover their bodies from men, and strengthened her point by saying that the veil even causes various respiratory problems.

Without putting up my hand I asked her what she thought about Western women who wear mini skirts, belly tops, and low-cut shirts. To me, I have a hard time seeing this as liberation. Is it really a freedom, when you are dressing in a way which men have decided is apparently sexy? In some ways, isn't oppression culturally relative? Maybe covering your body can feel just as empowering as showing it.

Oh, and mini-skirts may not cause "respiratory problems" but cheap spandex, vinyl, and polyester blends can sure as hell leave a nasty rash.

If only you knew

You would all think I am an awful, awful person.

Text.

My room is the perfect analogy for my brain. Books piling up beside my bed, printed off articles beside my pillow, and various bags and purses left on my floor from switching around so much. My head is going at a million miles an hour, and I feel like the world just can't keep up with me. There has been some stuff on my mind that nobody knows about. I wish I could tell someone and get some sort of advice, but it's likely that they would just think I'm in a bad situation. The truth is, it isn't a bad situation...it's just a dangerous one and I need to make sure that I don't do something that I will regret.

Away from being completely ambigious, I have been working really hard lately. I've been doing a lot of interviewing, writing, and editing, as well as starting my t-college applications. I have a list of schools I am applying to, and it's a really exciting time in my life.

Here is my interview with The Human Astract.

Check out The Sil for some of my articles this week. I wrote my editorial on what else but the blogging phenomenon.

Also, the Canadian dollar is going up really high really soon. If you know me, you know that means I will be heading to Buffalo. Contact me if you think I would want you to come.
