So, I don't claim to be super 1000% politically involved at all times, but I try and do my part to the things closest to my heart (the environment, gay rights, education reform, you know, that liberal agenda stuff). And this issue is not only close to my heart its actually the solid my heart lives on 9 months out of the year, the soil many of the people close to my heart live on, and the solid under thousands of deserving, wonderful people. PA state government is proposing budget cuts to higher education, in some reports by up to 50%. Now, I don't know if you knew this, but I go to a PA state school (so if you like me or my blog, right there is enough reason to sign). Not only that, cutting school funding in times of economic stress is THE WORST thing you can do. Hmm, to get ourselves out of recession lets make sure that the next generation of citizens is even more incompetent, uneducated and lazy! Great idea! Anyway, I'll hop off my soap box in the hopes that if you're cool enough to have found this blog, and you're awesome enough to stick with me that you value my education and the education of hundreds of thousands of others across the state who deserve (and in many cases work their ass off to afford and to get) a good education. The online petition can be found here:

There's also a group on facebook, so if you care, sign. If you care a lot, sign and send it to all your friends/family/pseudo-facebook friends/everyone you know. Thanks kiddles for helping change the world, one rambly blog post at a time.

Guilty Pleasures
Alright, I'm kinda grasping at straws here for material, so here's the best GLaDOS could come up with in terms of topics. Since he's too chicken to write a guest post (oh yeah bitch, gauntlet hath been thrown) this is what I'm writing...
Guilty Pleasures
a la Krysti
- Terrible pop music (Ke$ha, I'm lookin' at you...)
- Starburst jellybeans
- "Sonny with a Chance" on Disney Channel (THAT SHOW IS SO FUCKING GREAT DON'T EVEN GIMME SHIT)
- Pretending I can sing
- Dressing in costume (if you consider this 'guilty')
- Eating leftovers late at night
- Buying Converses on ridiculous sale
- Tetris
- Writing fan-fic (back in the day, back in the day.....)
- Reading fan fic
- "Say Yes to the Dress"
- The Jonas Brothers
- Fan art
- Wearing fake earrings (once in a while I like the look of myself with cartilage piercings...and Claire's sells great falsies)
- SUGARBOWL
- "Glee" (if you consider this 'guitly')
- Buying tshirts with stupid sayings on them
- Writing this blog
I never really realized how much of what I do could be considered a 'guilty pleasure.' Granted much of this is not that 'guilty' and I'm not really ashamed of most of it (possible exception #9) but I needed it to bulk up mah list a little. And hell, if you wanna get it off your chest, comment with a guilty pleasure annonomously becuase I'm an attention whore deep down and I yern for your comments to validate my existance.
