Don't be fooled by my name. I am a young man, not a woman. Josie stands for Josiah. Isn't that an awesome name?
I am too young to know anything but too old to accept it. Therefore, I'm fairly certain I've got it all figured out. I am right about everything. Just come ask me; I'll set you straight.
I am just about to graduate High School and am not sure I'm ready to move on. I am the beautiful combination of a gifted student and a slacker, producing anything from distinguished honors one marking period to failing another. I have a passion for writing, and am planning on pursuing a career in publishing. For now, it looks like I'll be attending Pittsburgh University next fall.
I hate science. Science classes are worthless information-dumps. So much to learn, so little application. I'll except physics here; I loved physics and found it very practical. I can tolerate Math until it starts to become ridiculous. I have no use for Calculus (maybe that would be different if my school offered Physics II?). I love English class. There is nothing more pleasing than the sound of a rhythmic, elegantly written thought. I love foreign languages, but I'm far too lazy to take more than one. I'm studying German.
I enjoy theatre. I have been in every production the school has put on, most recently performing as Mr. Darcy in a stage adaption of Pride and Prejudice. Theatre is a wondrous thing: it takes confidence in yourself, empathy for the characters, intelligence for the subtleties of performance, combined with the good fortune of having a strong voice and good looks. Every attribute you have must come to bear.
I love myself. I am very self-confident, and not just in a typical teenage fashion. I don't consider myself a narcissist, however. I may love myself, but I love other people just as much. I approach people in a sarcastic, but entirely playful, never cynical, way. Most people I know roll their eyes at how I throw caution to the wind and act on instinct. I think they just don't know how to live.

But I don't think we feel guilt because we went against our morals of that moment. I think we feel guilt because we have changed our morals since, and would not act the... (view)

Mon 5 Jan, 2009 08:09 pm - I've never actually seen a scientific argument for Intelligent Design. I've only ever seen supporters of ID try to disprove evolution. I'm very curious as to what the science behind... (view)
Mon 5 Jan, 2009 04:42 pm - I would like to point out that some Christians put little emphasis on the Old Testament, where 100% of the condemnation of homosexuality is. Most of my family is very christian, and they are very... (view)
Mon 5 Jan, 2009 04:32 pm - You are a disgusting human being. Your socks cower and look forlorn because you have FOUND it, not because it escaped in the first place. You are physically and emotionally abusing your socks.... (view)

Sun 4 Jan, 2009 06:42 pm - I find this topic selfish and inhuman. How dare you consider your own needs and not the emotional trauma you cause your socks every day? When you treat the sock as if it has no will of its own, of... (view)
Sun 4 Jan, 2009 12:07 pm - Meaning itself is a human imagining. When I say there is a meaning to something, it implies it is something more than what it actually is. We can understand what happens, when it happens, and how... (view)
