Blind Prophecy

The first night of my LSAT class went well, I think. We took a timed exam to establish a baseline for our progress. I think I did okay. The logic games were the last section, though, and they continue to be my toughest section. Coming at the very end of the 3.5 hour exam didn’t help. I completely ran out of time before getting to the easiest game (it looked complicated when I first skimmed the section).

Anyway, I should know my score tomorrow. You know that scene in Legally Blonde where the nerdy sorority sister tells Elle she needs a score of “at least” 174? Well, that God-like level of testing skill (a perfect score is 180) is my goal. It may be unrealistic, but damn if I’m not going to try.

There are about 40 people in my class and I’m pretty sure I’m the oldest. A distracting number of really cute guys, too. The guy sitting right in front of me looked like a young Patrick Wilson. Luckily, my ability to focus on the exan rather than the blonde hairs on the back of his neck were up to par.

I’m still loving my new phone. Today I left my camera and iPod at home, carrying only one packet gadget with me.

If you’re interested in the horrifying story of Oregon State Senator Gary George, who inspired today’s strip, visit Just Out for the interview. George also strongly suggests that violence against gays is a natural reaction when we queer folk “cross the line” by being out and visible.

“Here’s what I’m saying, I think we’re seeing a backlash, in other words if you push me too hard don’t be surprised if I react. Gays will tend to react violently if people are oppressive toward them. If gays are oppressive toward straights, then you’ll see a violent backlash. You’re going to have a point where these groups develop and say I’m tired of these special privileges.”

p.s. I feel like I ought to apologize for the NC-17 image embedded in the strip’s final panel. I’m not going to, but I feel as though I should.
