I'm a 1L law student trying to cope with the fact that I'm no longer allowed to write critical papers about gossip girl or disney movies for women's studies courses. Then again, I'm reading ridiculous cases about punching pregnant women and suing 5 year old children, so I feel like I'm getting my daily dose of anger anyways.

23. Asian. American. Queer in a heterosexual (but I maintain, still queer) relationship. I'm like, really fucking queer. Just thought I'd like to reiterate that before you piss me off with your homophobia. ...but other than that, I probably love you.
