I have to write a response to an essay for my English class tomorrow. Although this essay is one kajillion times easier to read and comprehend than the one's Cranky made us read, I still don't want to do it. I'm contemplating skipping, but I would feel like such a loser if I did. The essay is about killing and torturing wolves and it's so graphic that I almost threw up. Here's a little taste:
"On a Saturday afternoon in Texas a few years ago, three men on horseback rode down a female red wolf and threw a lasso over her neck. When she griped the rope with her teeth to keep the noose from closing, they dragged her around the prairie until they'd broken her teeth out. Then while two of them stretched the animal between their horses with ropes, the third man beat her to death with a pair of fence pliers. The wolf was taken around to a few bars in a pickup and finally thrown in a roadside ditch."
-- "The Clamor of Justification," Barry Lopez
So. Fucking. Disgusting. And we have to cite using MLA. Ewww.
I'm currently obsessed with using stickam. It's so creepy, but I love it.

Humans are too anthropomorphic in nature....but that doesn't lessen the sympathy i have for the creature b/c i love animals. If you want to read a similar accounting of violence (but on humans) read "Blood Meridian." The word for that book (aside from shocking) is FOUL.
MLA sucks. Chicago rules. Stay at college, for chrissakes!
I don't understand what stickham is :-(
stickam is SO creepy.
we got nikole johnson set up as a Stickam Entertainer last year. fun fact: the site is run by a japanese porn company.
