The Things You Learn in College...

This isn't going to be a happy log but I need to vent and to be honest this is the only place where I feel like I am actually listened to. I guess that to fully explain where I'm coming from I should start at the beginning. This is a really hard subject to talk about so if you want to stop reading, do it now. Around Easter break of my junior year in high school a boy I thought was one of my best friends decided to come get me and take me out to ice cream. We never got to the ice cream parlor. He pulled into a parking lot of and started to kiss me and put his hands all over me. I tried to get him to stop but he wouldn't until I tried to get out of the car. I demanded he take me home and he did, mainly because I think he was scared of my mother. I didn't ever talk to him again after that and I've not really trusted anyone since. He was my friend, he hurt me and I thought it was my fault. I blamed myself because I couldn't say no loud enough... This morning in my Marriage and Family relations class a woman came and talked to us about rape and the myths and facts of it. I never realized it but, under the definition she gave us, my "friend" raped me. This is the first time I've ever admitted it. Firefly/Serenity is my escape from this world and thank god I have those stories to lose myself in. And thank god for all of you people who listen to me whine and complain and aren't too hard on me. You guys are Big Damn Heroes in your own respects!

I just got home from the 1:00 PM showing at the Michigan theater. It was a really great experience; well worth the nearly 300 mile round trip. :smile: This was the first time that I've made it to anything like one of these, and I'd like to thank the people with the Michigan Browncoats for all they did. There is another showing tomorrow at the same time, just in case anyone in the area hadn't heard before.
