YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE: 20

I suppose its only fair I'm older than you Laury.

Time to fry it up.

its the final three weeks of class, joy and rapture. I have a group project due that's not really acting like a group project, or I should say that the members of my group aren't really acting like a group.

its not that they're not willing to talk to each other, they're just not willing to put forth the effort to meet out side the time the teacher is giving us in class. I don't think they realize that the teacher doesn't have to give us class time to meet. she could just ask us to turn in a certain amount of work or outlines from time to time, and we're SOL for meeting.

I mention that we could E-mail to each other, something the teacher again, suggested. The teacher made us exchange contact information. The people just seem to ignore it.

Its not as if I've sat there and let them think this, I've said several times that its a group project, thus, we're supposed to meet, as a group, and talk about the project....*sigh*

I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant, but it did. I just have to keep telling myself make it work, pass the class.

but come on, its INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS, having a group project is like, DUUUUH. ......

outside that, I have 2 more or less reaction papers, and a report for ASL 1, gotta figure those out, and art, lots of drawing, I have a feeling I'm not gonna wanna draw anything for a while once I'm done with that class.

I did score nicely on my last two projects though, so I'm happy with that. and certainly far better than I'd have thought for the one. I really need to get a hold of my mothers camera and take some decent pictures of my art. I also need to ask whether or not we'll get the matted pieces that are being shown in the caff back. cause I rather like the one that's going up in the show...

well, off to see if my bottle of frozen lemonade has thawed enough that some of its actually drinkable, night.

Hello all. I am posting this survey as part of my research for my final paper for my Social Problems class this semester. Our project was to choose a social problem, and decide what we'd like to learn or understand about it. The problem I chose to research is the controversy or debate that surrounds the idea of making same-sex marriages legal.

So, if you could take a few moments to answer the questions that I have here, I would very much appreciate it. If you would feel more comfortable answering them anonymously, feel free, but please do answer them if you can.

1. Do you believe in equal rights for all, regardless of race/religion/sexual orientation?

2. Do you feel that same-sex relationships are appropriate or inappropriate?

3. Why do you feel this way?

4. What is marriage to you?

5. Should same-sex marriages be legalized?

6. Why or why not?

7. Why do you think some people seem to be so against same-sex relationships?

8. Do you think people feelings toward same-sex relationships are a large reason for the overall rejection of legalizing same-sex marriages?

9. What are your feelings about Proposition 8 and the changes it brings with it?

10. Do you have any other comments you would like to make on this subject?

If you know anyone who would be interested in adding their opinions, please send them over, the more the better results.

also, this survey is posted at my LiveJournal, and comments are set to screen, if you'd prefer to have your comments private.
