I'm just *this* close to turning Asian Pacific Club into something like Pride Alliance. In other words: I'm thinking of addressing the visibility (or lack there of) of issues that the Asian American youth face today. There are plenty of issues to be discussed concerning identity, associations, ethnic importance, etc. It may be an inappropriate forum to discuss certain issues (damn you, Leyman) but I want to open up that issue a bit. From the way things are looking at the moment... yeah.

Maybe I could do something in conjunction with Pride Alliance?

What I want to know is if there are other Pride Alliances who have had to compromise their mission statement to include anything and everything. It's lonely being the only highschool club (which I know of) that caters to anything and everything while maintaining an uneasy neutrality on the subject of sexuality.

It really should be a club about "sexuality." Outside of school many of the people at school have no forum to discuss ideas. It's infuriating to me that parents believe that teenagers are non-sexual humans.

Although they may not be so blunt about it, there are many rules and regulations that infer the message none the less: dress code, content censorship, and zero-tolerance to anything and everything related to sexuality.

Jeezy Chreezy, we're a culture developed because we aren't able to express our choice in bedmates. In all honesty, the gay community really is all about sex. And again, in all honesty, there is nothing wrong with that.

Damned conservatives.

By the by, it's a little to a lot past 3:00am in the morning. The dreadful essay/paragraph has been written (in under 15 minutes, but then a half an hour rewrite ensued) and since 1:30am I've been researching and looking into possible fundraisers, events, organizations, and obtaining ideas for three clubs: Art, APC, and PA.

Thankfully NHS is a self-perpetuating machine so I don't have to worry about that too much.

This is all most likely spurred on by the lack of attendance to the first PA meeting.

And I'm tired. But I'm still searching.

And still enraged.

If I had breasts and a set of bras, I'd be burning them at school in the next couple of months.

... the bras, not the breasts.
