My quest of the night:
Drink enough coffee in the next five minutes to make me stay awake for two more hours and finish all the work I have to do.
Of course, then I’m getting up at 5:30 am because I’m taking a friend to the airport. Then I have a whole workday and opening night of the show I’m crewing.
LOL SLEEP WHAT IS THAT WHAT ARE YOU EVEN
oh plus I’m kind of in trouble because the on-call...

White person (bursting through the door): Don't worry everyone; I'm here! Sorry, I got stuck in traffic, but I finally made it. That's right. I'm a white person! Please, hold your applause. I'm here to help you in the fight against racism. That's just the kind of person I am. I'm sincere, caring, and enthusiastic and ready to help in any way I can.
Black woman: Um, well I guess you could start by--
White person: Hey, I've got an idea. Let's all dress up like Trayvon Martin and march down main street! We'll call it "One Million Hoodies" and we can all go out and by Skittles and Arizona Teas and make speeches about white privilege.
Black woman: I don't... I don't think that'd be--
White person: Hey, I noticed one of your pamphlets said "End White Supremacy." First thing's first, we need to change that. I don't know, the phrase "white supremacy" sounds like it might alienate white people. How are we supposed to end racism without white people's help?
Black woman: You know white people created racism, right?
White person: OH THAT IS IT. YOU PEOPLE WILL NEVER END RACISM UNTIL YOU LEARN TO BE NICE TO WHITE PEOPLE. HOW DARE YOU BE SO CRUEL TO SOMEONE WHO JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU? I AM SO OUT OF HERE. GOOD LUCK ENDING RACISM WITHOUT ME. YOUR FIGHT IS NOW FUTILE.
Dion: Now watch white people argue with this post and successfully miss the entire point.

Here is what I have learned from stories:
Harry Potter: Friendship, love, and knowledge will conquer hatred and ignorance and oppression. You do not have to be old to be powerful.
Supernatural: Your family is made of some of those you are related to and others that you choose. But once they are your family, they are your family through hell and back. And free will is the greatest blessing a...

Eleven has realized this and thus he’s now carrying it to save her life.
He’s got it under control.
