I was angry last night, so
I punched a wall in my bathroom. It was dark. I went to bed. I woke up this morning, turned on the lights, and it turns out my class ring cracked the plaster. Well, fuck. It’s pretty small (maybe a horizontal inch with a couple vertical hairlines), so with any luck it will go unnoticed for a while, and then eventually blamed on the fact that the foundation of our house shifting.
Well it's been a fucking terrible day
Good night my dear followers, and may all of our tomorrows be a little better.

PAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTYY. The essay is finished. Exactly no proof reading will be done. Woo hoo. Now I have to decide: go to band and get (best case) 4 hours of sleep? Or skip band, get 5 hours of sleep, and piss off my directors.

7.5 pages. So far my concluding paragraph sounds like some weird spiel to convince people to join a religion.
Welcome to the Rebecca Church of Mathematics. We believe in logarithms. And integrals. Integrals are good.
Divide by zero? Excommunicated!

7 pages! So near…. Finally got around to mentioning Sierpinski triangles and golden spirals. By the way, tumblr recognizes Sierpinski as a real name, whereas Microsoft Word does not. By the way, I only just now realized that tumblr does not recognize tumblr as a real word. Interesting…
Also, thank you to ofloveandlonging and hauntingblood for your nice comments :)

Still at 4 pages because
1. My little sister fell down while attempting to do a roundhouse kick and it was hilarious
2. My mother and I ran around the house turning on and off various lights in an attempt to get this huge, demonic cricket/moth creature to leave our house.
:( I have to do as many pages as I’ve already done… again…
#essay update
4 pages done, and I’m experiencing major loathing towards my writing style. Really Rebecca, another rhetorical question? (meta humor, I know)
#essay update
Back to work. 5 pages to go.

If you’re a “nice guy” to a girl up until you realize she doesn’t want to date you, then go on about how she’s a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no girls date nice guys, like, nah mate, girls do date nice guys. You just aren’t a nice guy. You’re a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious victim complex.

So I’m at 3 pages! Yay! Time to go feed my bunny.

gender equality isn’t about forcing people out of traditional gender roles, it’s about giving people the choice to live their lives how they want to, regardless of whether it meets traditional expectations or not, without being shamed for it

So I finally made my Pottermore account (inspired by Kat), and I’m a Slytherin. Meh. That’s cool, I guess.
Currently working on an 8-page paper about why the general (American) population dislikes mathematics. Any thoughts, even if you’re not American? Please?

You know that feeling where you look at your room and your clothes and your shelf full of books and feel like this identity that you’ve crafted for yourself is the biggest fucking facade imaginable? All the things I say about myself and associate with myself. Everything the people around me associate with ‘me’. In high school I was that girl who’s good at English, or that girl who...

As long as women’s natural body hair is called disgusting and inappropriate while men’s isn’t, I am a feminist.
As long as I can’t watch an episode of a popular sitcom without having to sit through multiple sexist comments or “jokes”, I am a feminist.
As long as women have to face the rational fear of being sexually assaulted every time they walk home past dark while men...

So today over breakfast I had a legitimate conversation with a Whovian about the different merits of the tenth and eleventh Doctors, and our hopes for the twelfth. Guys. GUYS. I have never seen Doctor Who. Not one episode. Learning about Doctor Who via tumblr osmosis for the win.
