Kiki's Slice of Life

Alrighty, now. So, somehow, I've gotten into this women in contemporary society class and it's a rather difficult class--by difficult I mean it's at 8:30 in the morning after a bus commute that stops short of the class leaving a short walk to the building. But, enough complaining. While I have considered myself as a bit of a thinker, even at a young age, this class has really got me thinking about how the world interacts with me and how I interact with it. The class talks about how we (meaning all people) live in a highly gendered society--and, now that I am thinking about it, it's really quite obvious and sickening at times. Then we got to the chapter about how women are treated/viewed with regards to religion. I consider myself fairly religious, I am just quiet about it--I do not shove a bible in people's face, but would gladly answer any questions they had about it to the best of my ability--but sometimes I feel like women are second class citizens in it. This is mostly a problem when it comes to how the church interprets the scriptures. I am absoultely not a fan of keeping the woman quiet in the church when it is obvious that women outnumber men in many churches! In fact, reading my text for class, I found out that women played a large role in keeping the church going during the times where pioneers were taming the wild west.

However, going back to the Bible specificaly, I cannot begin to describe that deep sense of sadness, or, maybe anger--or something else entirely--that crept over me and took hold of my mind. summarizing, the passages stated that man shall have authority over the woman. Another passage spoke of how a woman's head must be covered in speaking with God. While I am no expert about the Bible, I think I am fair in asking why must Woman be subjuagated to Man? If God has his eyes on the sparrow, a tiny bird, certainly he must notice a woman? I believe that many of the practicies in religion today have their roots in secular beliefs. I cannot see how God would create Man over Woman--or even the other way. Anyways, I have much more to say, but I only stalling and that will save something for me to write in my next blog... Thanks for reading!

Alrighty, so it's time for me to shape up as an artist and start acting like one. I've got a portfolio going now and it will look a little more...uh...professional! Check it out: http://kikislice.daportfolio.com/ I will continue to update it.

So, while trying to figure out how to speed up my computer, I stumbled upon a new term: "Memory Leak". A memory leak, in case you don't know, occurs when a program does not return the "resources" it borrowed in order to run. Turns out that firefox (which I am running right now) is a leaky program. Well, as soon as I return to my own computer I will try to patch up that leak. As slow as my computer is though, I know it's got to be more than just one program that is slowing my comp down...

Then my mind took the idea of having a memory leak and ran with it. I am so forgetful, I am quite sure that I myself might have a memory leak!

Here's how to fix the leak:

So, this site needs a logo character. Her dress is a little low, but I'm too lazy to redraw here. I'm thinking about this one:

So, I'm not a blogger...what do you put in a blog?
