Blah.

I think I caught the fucking plague. I've gone through a box of tissues since I woke up at noon. I wish I was exaggerating. And my head is hammering.

miwasatoshi, I'm going to kill you.

Finals start this week. I have my biochem final tomorrow morning at 10:40 (why I can't take NyQuil because I have to, maybe, wake up for this), Kanji final Tuesday morning, rest of Japanese final Thursday at 7:30 AM (no rly), physical chemistry lecture final Monday, phys. chem lab final Tuesday, genetics ethics final paper due I think the 19th, but I need to do it this weekend, because I sure as hell won't have the get-up-and-go to do it once I've moved back into my house for the winter.

Also, you've got to be fucking kidding me. After the prosecution for a private collector owning (NOT selling) shota doujinshi in this case in the United States, I fear for the state of free speech on the internet. You heard me. Like Neil Gaiman, I consider this a free speech issue, not a child pornography or victimization issue. And this is just beyond idiotic. Hormone-crazed teenagers experimenting with making their own amateur porn is NOT child pornography. It's sixteen/seventeen-year-olds being NORMAL TEENAGERS--in a stupid way, yes, but teenagers almost by definition think with their dicks/clits and not with their brains. Most of them. Most of the time. Branding teenagers as sex criminals for doing just that is just WRONG.

Ranting was a nice break from studying, but I still feel on the verge of nausea. Please, please don't get worse as the week goes on.
