So I have some ideas...

Current mood:cold

I have some ideas for some new writing projects.

First off, there is:

"Dirty. Growing up in an Oppressive Christian Society." Which isn't going to be COMPLETELY based on my experiences, but is definitely going to be about a good portion of them. The reason I titled it Dirty is because of how I felt almost my entire time in the church. I was a woman, less than anything, not supposed to do anything. Christians attack the Muslims for their treatment of women, but Christians can be twice as bad. They hide their bad treatment of women under the veil of freedom. But there is actually no true freedom for Christian women. They will always be women and therefore inferior, not just because of the Bible either.

then there is:

"Puberty makes my sister Bitchy" Which I think is pretty funny. I just like the title. Cause it's true. Puberty makes a lot of people bitchy.

the other one, is going to be a surprise for now. I don't know yet if I really want to do it or not.

Anyway, I'm really tired, which is sad because I've only been up 2 hours now and as you can see it is after 6 pm. I haven't been sleeping well because of my asthma and I'm not feeling so well. I think I'm coming down with something, I just don't know what it is. Plus, since I'm out of inhaler I've been drinking a lot of caffeine to help keep my bronchial tubes open, which makes me hyper and not sleepy, but also doesn't help because I think I'm getting another Urinary Tract Infection because of it. Why does life have to be such a bitch.

Have been reading "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See (one of the books that Judes sent me), it is really good so far, but now I definitely want to learn more about foot-binding and the culture behind it.

I'm actually getting ready to pass back out right now, so I'm going to get off of here. Let me know what you think of my ideas for the stories. I think for Dirty I will post a lot of what I write because I want people to know about what is going on. And if you get the chance totally read "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan"
