mmmmotion motion
Today I love my job and also my fellow interns.
A new intern (who is an undergrad) asked me what a legal 'motion' is today. I love moments that make me aware that I'm actualy in law school so I was very glad she asked. My answer was as follows -- "uuuuhhhhh...." HA. I've never tried to define it and couldn't think of a single thing to say. I don't know why, but I thought it was awesome. I did the best I could to describe it, then went around and asked the other law student interns what their definition would have been. That's how big of a law school dork I am, cause I loved that shit. Got home and looked it up, so here you are, fresh off the wikipedia press..
motion (legal), a procedural device in law to bring a limited but contested matter before a court for decision.
Two more bits of information for ya:
1. Starbursts are NOT fat free, don't let that fool you into eating a million.
2. Do not allow
anyone to tell you Peppermint Patties are not bad for you. Because they ARE!
GOODNIGHT CANADA
Only Me
Came home today to my D.C. roommate getting a third notice of eviction. I'm not on the lease so it wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't render me homeless.
Which would be less of a big deal if I hadn't sublet my apartment in Toledo. To a person who decided to go to Tulsa OK for the weekend and not shut the door. By not shut the door I mean it was standing open for two full days.
Lost anchors and other thoughts...
I posted (so I thought) and it is gone. GONE. Not happy....
I'll repost my anchors away thought later, I've lost blogging motivation....
I guess I'll just write thoughts of the past few days --
1. I don't ever want to see the movie "The Breakup" but totally relate to the commercial for it. The line I love is something like 'I want you to
want to do the dishes!'. This sediment is the downfall of all of my relationships. I want everyone to want to do everything that
I want them to do, naturally. Yes, I could tell you what I want you to do, and if history repeats itself you will do it. Want to do it on your own for god's sake! Be a good boyfriend/girlfriend/friend because you just are, because it's your instinct, it's natural to you, NOT because I told you to... An ex once said to me, after such a conversation, that if everyone did what was natural and instinctual, we'd all shit our pants. I found the comment to be quite wise, and I still do. Didn't change my mind though, and it didn't make him any better of a boyfriend.
2. In Reviving Ophelia the author talks about how adolescent boys deal with bad feelings and/or insecurities through fighting. Adolescent girls deal with these things by being catty, mean, vindictive, by alienation and by being cruel. The latter is far more destructive, in the long run, and I think it carries with you far past adolescence. Steve said to me once, at the end of a conversation about rape, that it's too bad that I can't deal with the situation like a guy. I'd just kick my rapist's ass and be done with it. How nice would THAT be!
horn!
