poof

i woke up for a while but i'm going back to sleep
i had intended to sleep all night so i'll be awake during the day but i fell asleep too soon

part of my back shoulder area is killing me and i had thought that it was improper bending and lifting from the unpacking
might have started there but now i think it's my chair mostly
the chair itself isn't bad i think i'm sitting in it wrong, i think it's somehow the wrong height for the desk or something
i'm sitting on it badly

ok back to bed

spectacles testicles wallet and watch

i'm still feeling like loads of crap
i went outside to check the mail and noticed what a nice day tis outside
i felt inspired to take a picture taking walk
then i came back inside and instant headache

so methinks i need outside air, yes?
yes.

i'm trying very hard to either sit straight up in this chair and not lean all crooked onto an arm, i need a rolly mat so that i can rolly my chair farther under the desk and lean on the back. oop i just caught m'self leaning on the arm
damnit eris!

father has no idea why our long distance is suddenly turned off, by the time he called me back it was too late for him to call the phone company so he'll call on Monday to find out.

um, i can't remember what else i had to say so i'll stop for now

sometimes people scare me

soapbox

i was recently told that a certain group (i cannot remember which so i'm not being cryptic)
is attempting to change the meaning of the word racism to mean discrimination only against a certain race (african american)
which then gives the heretofore oxymoron of 'reverse racism', actual meaning

what does merriam-webster have to say?

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
Date: 1936
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

Main Entry: ra·cial
Pronunciation: 'rA-sh&l
Function: adjective
Date: 1862
1 : of, relating to, or based on a race
2 : existing or occurring between races

in it's simplest definition, disregarding any supiriority issues, racism is the act of treating someone differently based SOLELY upon their race or colour or country of origon.
this also includes friendly treatment

if you are blue, and you walk into a room which contains half orange people and half blue people
and you are instantly happy and overjoyed to see blue people (whom you have never met) and are very polite to, but distant from the orange people
YOU'RE STILL A RACIST!

everybody is to some extent or another, it's natrual to want to associate with those whom you have some sort of connection with, but if you are making your decisions to associate with people based on their colour, ANY COLOUR, this is still a racist decision.

it is rediculous to say that "only orange people can be racist because they do not have the same history of oppression that the blue people do"

you may feel that one race as been oppressed more than others, but that gives you no right to change the definition of a word to be your race specific when it's origional definition still applies - to some extent or another - to people of every colour.

three : three three

the magic power of three three three

i've been checking the mail periodically since noon
and pretty had decided that we were getting no mail today

so i decided to try once more right as it became 3.33 (course i posted first)

and guess what?
MAIL CAME!
IMPORTANT MAIL CAME!

yay!

=D

before kal went to play with the gamey boys he took me to ¡Una mas! to eat
i love ¡una mas!

then before we left i got some extra chips to bring home
and he dropped me off back home and i sat on the couch and watched whatever had just started on hbo
turned out to be Sweet November
not the sort of movie i would have EVER gone to a theatre to watch but i enjoyed it, very nicely done

weeee!
i am now putting in my wallet a $10 bill and a $5 bill
and putting two quarters and two dimes into a sake cup which is on my desk for some reason

yay, the $6 i was rabidly hanging onto is now replaced with $15 which i will attempt to rabidly hang onto

i don't know why small bits of cash makes me feel all rich and happy.
a wallet full of hundreds or just having a bunch of hundreds makes me all antsy and stressy
plif.

i had an idea

it's probably already done

people should pay a certain fee to a person/company/thing which will send them personal looking flowers and gifts (which they have specified previously) on birthdays and holidays
slightly extra fee for the package which includes random love letters

especially convincing if you have roommates or if you have these things sent to your work

or perhaps if you wish to make a girlfriend/boyfriend jealous

heeheehee

ok this was just TOO damn funny

( which jesus was i? )

=0

shock!
shock and dismay!
oh well maybe not dismay ;)

i had thought mayhaps my brother might have gone home without telling me and i was going to talk to my mother today anyway.
so i called her house and she answered, and i said "hi mom! call me right back" she said "ok! bye bye!"

she is aware of my sudden lack of long distance

so she rang back and turns out my brother is no there, and she has not heard from him either.
so i talked with her for a while, another reason i wanted to talk to my brother was that i wanted him to enter cyn's short story contest so i told mother about it and she might enter, i read her all the rules and she wrote them down.
an entry from my brother would have been very funny, but it'll be interesting to see what she comes up with if she does.

she was thinking about coming up to visit me and take me to old sac, but other things came up. and next weekend she'll be in Las Vegas (look out cyd!) looking at a house that they're considering buying.
what the hell is it with both of my parents independently deciding they want to move to Nevada?

anyway i came to a conclusion recently RE: my mother situation. especially after reading a lot of other people's horrible mother stories lately.
i like talking to her and i like hanging out with her when she's behaving.
i know her well enough to usually steer her away from conversations that cause her to bitch at me.
there will always be issues that i will feel the need to confront her about, but not right now.
i let her affect me too much now and trying to "resolve issues" that she isn't even fully cognizant of is jut going to upset ME, because, currently, i see no viable way to get any of my points thru her thick skull full of preconceived notions which she is rabidly attached to.

and maybe i have no right to change her way of thinking.

live and let live, play nice, avoid argument making topics.
this is the dealing with mother strategy for now.

heehehehehehee

the following people have made responses to my entries that made me burst out laughing today
