Baby-killer

Crying with hotdog will arrive in the mail soon! I can't wait. My collection will still not be complete, but it will feel complete because Salamino is the only cactus pup worth having. Asleep and drooling is also really cute, but nothing can approximate the cuteness of crying with hotdog.

I missed all of my classes yesterday because I drank two glasses of wine the night before. I don't know what's wrong with me, and I can't find out until my 3 month previously existing condition window is up. Then I'm going to get all the drugs I want, it's going to be awesome. Anyway I can't drink anymore during the week. I can't let other people in my classes get a leg up on me just cause I'm sick. I did look really thin last night though, after eating almost nothing for 36 hours. After I eat a million fried things this weekend I'm sure I'll gain back that 2 pounds.

So in my Civil procedure book there's a discussion of the Anna Nicole Smith case, Marshall v. Marshall, which actually went all the way to the supreme court on an issue of jurisdiction between federal and state courts. Sometimes when I get an in-depth reading of the Anna Nicole case, or I read the wikipedia on Natalee Holloway and really understand the reasons the cases were dismissed, I think, "I am really learning something important in law school." If I get nothing else out of it, at least I can fully comprehend celebrity court cases.

There was another great case I read the other day. A man let this woman and her child come stay with him at his house. They were from his church and the woman was having a lot of mental problems. So one day she starts flipping the fuck out saying that she is God and her baby is the devil. She then starts beating the shit out of her baby and ripping it to pieces. The guy watches the beating and does nothing, they don't bring the baby to the hospital, and the next day it dies. The woman isn't found guilty because she's insane, and the guy is found innocent of not reporting it because he wasn't in charge of the baby, he had to duty to care for it. Isn't that incredible? I love learning about all the ways you can kill a baby and get away with it.

October

I can't believe it's already October. I'm going to turn 27 in 7 weeks. I'm starting to actually feel old. Lately I've only been getting carded half the time instead of everywhere. Ick.

I thought I was getting over the fact that I hate everyone in law school, but I seem to have relapsed into a state of loathing as of yesterday afternoon. Some kid in my class used the phrase "begs the question" incorrectly in our online discussion and it's one of my personal pet peeves. Don't just use phrases and words because they sound good when you have no fucking idea what they mean. And don't incorrectly use phrases referring to structures of logical arguments around people who've studied logic because they will hate you.

This other stupid girl in my class scoffed at my statement that one of our professors is dramatic because she thinks he speaks in a monotone. First off, when he speaks in monotone, it is for dramatic effect. He uses it as a tool to enhance the snide side comment he is making. I didn't have an argument set up in my head as for why he's dramatic at the time, I was just making chit chat. Apparently I greatly offended her by referring to him as dramatic based on her response. Then today I realized that she would never find anyone else dramatic compared to herself. This is a girl who constantly talks too loud and argues with people about pointless matters in front of everyone, drawing unnecessary attention to herself. Probably no one loves her and pays attention to her outside of school so she's an attention whore.



I would put her at red level although she probably is really only an orange. If homeland security can inflate their warning level for the sake of scaring the public into submission, I can inflate her attention whore status for my own amusement.
