| Nana: Rachel you should start a blog so I can know your thoughts.
Me: My thoughts? What thoughts?
Nana: Exactly. Now go get on that for your grandmother.
Rachel: Okay but if you think any of the content will give you a heart attack don't read it.
Nana: Deal. Just keep your politics right wing.

| They say trends just continuously repeat themselves in more modernized ways, could this be true with Xanga and LJ? I'm noticing more and more of y'all coming back. I just hope the myspace trend stays dead for all of our sakes and remains a place for gross preteen promiscuity.
Dear Xanga,
Today I sent in a post secret that I felt might be post-worthy to Frank and it reminded me of this. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for my secret and maybe, by the time it's posted, it will be gone.
<3

| Just finished rereading The Handmaid's Tale.
Atwood's writing is always so beautiful and poetic.
Quotes pulled:
"Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I'm nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water."
"Live in the present, make the most of it, it's all you've got."
"There is something powerful in the whispering of obscenities, about those in power. There's something delightful about it, something naughty, secretive, forbidden, thrilling. It's like a spell, of sorts. It deflates them, reduces them to the common denominator where they can be dealt."
"There is more than one kind of freedom...Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it."
"I have failed once again to fulfill the expectations of others, which have become my own."
"Better never means better for everyone, he says. It always means worse for some."
