Hooray! My opposing counsel and I survived Oral Arguments tonight. It was one of the most nerve-wracking things I’ve attempted so far in my one and a half years at Law School. But at the end of it all Professor Kravitz even suggested we try out for Moot Court. Go figure.

Dear Dave Wallace,

I miss the intensity with which they consumed me, but I won’t pretend not to know the consequences. I know I can’t move forward with my childish grief in tow. It’s time to find peace and clarity. There are...

...So that things become new.
I haven’t been on Tumblr in good while, nor have I posted personal writing anywhere. But I’m aching to write again.
I thought being on Law Review this year and taking Appellate Advocacy would burn out my pen and paper, but there’s a cavernous divide between legal writing and writing for pleasure. It’s the difference between straining to focus on a text book and...

Dear Coquette,
I am an educated, independent 29-year-old woman in an amazing relationship. I amsatisfied with my life and proud of the choices I have made. I do not have painful emotional baggage from childhood, and my head is pretty much screwed on straight as far as I can tell.

She said she hadn’t had an episode in three years, but she wasn’t being honest with me then. Just last December she had had a seizure, and last Monday night she has another one. She has no recollection of either - the only evidence...

I think it’s a little upsetting that we’re more worried about our gas prices going up rather than the substantial number of human beings who have been mercilessly repressed and killed. On the other hand, maybe our own selfishness will evoke an interest in and, hopefully, action against these events… and hurry the hell up please… I know this is quite the downer, it...
