Draft surfing (42 drafts? Jeebus!) brought me this 2 year old unpublished gem. This was either right before some shitty things went down with Martian, or right after. Its probably when I really did start taking care of myself over his needs, and not out of anger, but self-preservation. I was also in the throes of the last semester of my Women’s Studies degree; the best and most useless degree [...]
I feel like I’ve abandoned my three readers this week. I’ve kind of abandoned everything this week except this obessive need to get things done (as I stare at a small pile of overdue library books).
That’s what happens when I take off more than a day, but I have to admit that it was nice to just unplug for a few days… until I have to play catch-up, which I’ve [...]
I like to think of myself as a pretty nice person. I don’t eat animals, I pick up litter, I make no disparaging comments about others (for the most part) and I try to treat everyone how I want them to treat me.
Funny thing about that… the more I treat people the way I want them to treat me, the more they become assholes. Its true. I’m nice, they’re dickfaces. [...]
Enigma once brought home an infographic of sorts that indicated things that were needed vs. wanted. He WANTED ice cream, but NEEDED shoes, that sort of thing. One of those basic lessons of life that most of us forget too often, although, I’m pretty sure that I NEED olives and a pedicure… desperately.
I had a job interview on Thursday. This was an amazing opportunity that I was clearly underqualified for, [...]
…and International Women’s Day… my top 10 reasons I’m glad I’m a woman, and a feminist.
1. I never, ever have to say, “I’m not a feminist, but…”
2. I can get my hair cut, get asked if I’m working today and respond by saying that I work 24/7 as a mom plus I work from home. Those were both my choices, and both of which proudly proclaim… most days.
3. I don’t [...]
“You don’t take human life like this…” she says, regarding her execution.
Not sure what the hell is going on with the YouTube Aileen Wuornos weirdness of the past month, but damn. The only people, IMO, who look to Ms. Wuornos as an icon are probably in need of a whole lot of therapy themselves.
Yes, she was abused, she was raped, she fell through the cracks and she was a murderer. [...]
There are things I don’t blog about because of my desire to keep the peace, and there are things I don’t blog about because I don’t want to be all whiny and throw up (vomit?) the abuse card, but then I have a shitastic dream and a day later, get a call from a friend who is facing much of what I have only begun to acknowledge, so I get [...]
I resolve to take naps more often.
I have a crush on someone.
I am not a patient person, and waiting for answers makes me grumpy.
I now understand the difference between contemporary and modern design styles. Until tomorrow, when I forget again.
I’m think I may hit up some belly dance classes again in March. I need something to get me out of this house.
