“Bring It On” hits all the notes you’d expect from a new musical inspired by the 2000 Kirsten Dunst cheerleading movie of the same name. There are catty cheerleaders, underdogs for the audience to cheer on, and high-flying aerial wizardry. But the members of its creative team have built their names by delivering theater that goes beyond our expectations, and that didn’t happen this time.
The story is pretty simple. A cheerleader is forced to change schools and goes from being head cheerleader of a winning squad to being anonymous in a more ethnic school that doesn’t even have or want a cheer squad. I never saw the original movie, but my friend who attended with me said it is not the same plot, so it is definitely more “inspired by” than “based on.”
Just wanted to make sure people are aware of new technology out there, so you all could take any precautions necessary to protect your identities on Oasis.
If you haven't tried it out yet, Google has a new image search capability. When you go to the Google home page and click Images, you are given a normal image search bar. But the new bit is that you can drag and drop an image onto the search bar and it will also search for that image elsewhere on the web.
So, if you grabbed a school picture that is available on your school website, your Tumblr page, your Facebook (if it is available to the public), etc., all of these can technically get linked together if the same photograph is on all of these sites.
Definitely not a good thing for people in the closet, or people who just don't want anyone to be able to link their online accounts to one another, etc. And, unlike the profile pages on here, which we can tell Google and other search engines not to scan, this is slightly different, as anyone can grab a photo and see if it appears elsewhere online.
Do with this information what you will. I just wanted to put it out there.
The safest bet seems to be using a unique photo for Oasis that appears nowhere else online, even in a different lighting/background than other pictures you've taken.
Just a heads up.
I'm not suggesting this technology has only nefarious purposes, of course:
Now that it is OK to be openly gay in the US military, there have already been gay marriages and other events our LGBT troops have been having.
This soldier came out to his father over the phone from Germany:
Part two:

1. My school has been changing the letter and schedule of my class.
2. The new math teacher quit his job for some personal reason
3. I had cancealed my appointment with the neuropsychologist
4. Went to Medellín for nothing
5. Nico is getting really weird: we used to talk every day, make eye contact a lot, have unnecessary touches, but since the last 2 days of school last year, we started separating and stopped talking. Every day is worse!! Idk what to do with him.

You know I always just type the title of the song that is currently playing. Almost all of my journals are like that clear back to three years ago.
I am keeping these as a log for myself, whether or not anyone reads them is a plus. I like looking back. Gives me good perspective.

I have some silly things to whine about today.
I'm employed as a PART time employee. YET, by the end of tomorrow, I'll have worked 38 hours this week. On top of a 16 credit hour class schedule. If I weren't so skilled at time management, I'd probably be really stressed. I don't even want to think about getting closer to midterms and finals with tests and speeches every week.
Also, the girl I kind of have a small crush on is not single. For some reason, my soc prof asked everyone in significant relationships to raise their hands; my little crush raised hers, damnit.
So my rant of the week! Why is everything pretty so low cut? I'm trying to pick out my outfit for Queer Winter Formal this weekend.

So yeah my kindle fire is doing great with the note-taking app and the required e-book. I'm happy about that and I've met two great guys. I have a guy I can talk games and pokemon with and a guy whom I can talk to about computer stuff. It's been a nice second week into the semester. I feel like a $13 bill (which isn't saying much to the reader). lol
