sheyanne's stepping on her soap box...

So last night there was a protest on campus that i regretfully missed. Let me just say a few words concerning what went on and what is still going on. Thursday evening was vanguards so-called annual women's appreciation night, Woo-Fest. What goes on during this festival of wooing you might ask? The women dress up, the men hand them flowers, the men perform different skits flattering the "weaker" sex, and the tradition of gender roles lives on.

A few women on campus including myself disagree with the continual subordination of women and the roles we are to play on this campus. These women felt it was their job and responsibility to speak up possibly opening the minds and hearts of our fellow vanguardians both men and women. I was doing laundry at a friends and missed the memo about the silent demonstration. These wonderfully intelligent ladies dressed up, put on aprons and binded their wrist and tapped their mouths shout. The demonstration was meant to address the way this campus views relationships and the belief that we are only complete when we have found that someone. The notion that women need to be pursued and men need to pursue to claim there mate. TRADITIONAL gender roles. We want to break free from this ideal!

So these women stood outside of Woo-Feast and staged a silent demonstration. I feel that students really didn't understand what these women were trying to say. And honestly i don't think they care to. Students were offended by the demonstration to say the least. One of the RD's on vanguards campus told the women they were being disrespectful. This man's name is Jeremy King for all of those concerned. One student who was a female told them that God created women to be submissive and that it was a spiritual thing. Really? One of the my friends was recapping the night, and it hit me there's an epidemic on campus.

Whats wrong with this campus that we cant even voice our opinions in a RESPECTFUL way. These women were exercising there constitutional right of freedom of speech. I think it is a beautiful thing to see people standing up for what they believe in. Why don't you stop one of us and ask what kind of statement we were trying to make. We what change and if I remember correctly vanguard encourages change, or am i mistaken. Does change only come with approval of the RD's? Must change get stamped and approved by ASB? Even if you don't agree with what went on last night you should still have treated those women with respect and admiration. These women have such a heart for social justice and the kingdom of heaven.

I now step down from my soap box.

shey's trippin

I tripped like eight times today whats up with that? I know I'm clumsy and all but seriously I was trippin all over the place. I really miss my family which is weird cause I'm not the type who misses family especially my family. Well I always miss my brothers and nieces. I really miss my mom and dad. It's really really really rare that I miss them. I mean I know I sound like a horrible daughter but the further they are from me the happier I am. for some inexplicable reason I miss them and I just want to be in their presents. i want to hug my dad's big belly. i want to lie in bed with my mom having a conversation in a posh British accent while watching weird sci-fi movies like the sharkman (yeah that's a real movie). I just want to be home.

This is my baby at his formal

(yes i consider my eighteen year old brother my baby!)

So I'm kinda addicted to blogging right now?

Big Giant Spiders

As I sat down to another therapy session i looked over to my left arm and there was a huge ginormous spider crawling down my shoulder!!! Hey, hello there death!

PAUSE: I've seen two movies in my life that have forever traumatized me. The first one was in 3rd grade it was about the black widow spider and the different places they like to hide. One place they love to hide is in your shoes! To this day i will not put on my shoes without checking to see if the deadly bastards are hiding in there. I also will panic if i see anything resembling a black widow. The second video was in my 7th grade science class it was entitled the life cycle of arcana's. I learned, A.) spiders can kill you, B.) If bitten by a black widow you can only take the anti venom shot one time, C.) If your lucky enough to get bitten by a black widow twice (it does happen!) you will die a horrible painful death, D.) spiders jump.

PLAY: I look over to my left arm and see a large poisonous looking spider crawling up my arm i jump up and start screaming bloody murder. my therapist who is a hippy and one of the mellowest people i know starts hitting my arm and legs to get it off me. she then knocks it off of me and stomps it to death. She then shows me the dead remains and tosses it in the trash and we calmly begin our session. Her first question: are you very frighten of spiders or is it just bugs in general?

Thee Art of Wooing

This is how I feel about Woofest

The End.
