Ok, so I was chatting with Emily tonight, and she told me a story about when we used to live in Jacksonville. Apparently one of her teachers had something against fat people* and gay people (I can't imagine...part of the reason she didn't like my sister, although not the entire reason. (And no, I really have no idea what they were discussing - probably something to do with a book or story they read, I guess.)
My sister was talking about a video they watched in History class today - which basically treated the Bible as a textbook. Religious text =/= history textbook But maybe that's just me. I don't think...same history teacher (deeply religious, staunch Republican, etc) also told her class that she understood that they might be upset and "offended" to be taught about evolution but that it had to be done
I don't get homesick often. I think that's a product of being away for as long as I have as well as living as far away as I do. California and Pennsylvania don't touch each other, literally or figuratively...I miss having someone to talk with. Oh well. There are still many slices of toast, an over-chlorinated swimming pool, more wild blackberries, and the warm California sun. I wish you were here
I fell asleep after reading more of Story of O , and then I had a dream where I slapped T., with my fingernails sharpened into points like little carnivorous teeth. I could feel them digging into his...you're such a pretty girl...Why does he have such BIG lips?" I don't know why I have to sit here and LISTEN TO THIS NONSENSE Just, just, never tell your parents anything. Ever. That's the new rule.
I decided to re-watch Tin Man - I already watched the first part. I might go ahead and watch part 2 tonight. Mystic Man : I want your word as a Tin Man. You will not leave her side at any cost! Cain...last month in pictures from the eighth grade - it's funny how much you can change but still look exactly the same. I also LOL'd at the pictures of me with braces - talk about a mouth full of metal! :
My mom rocks. Apparently all of my fashion advice/insistence (ex. forbidding her from wearing nothing but black) has been rubbing off... I was going back to my room to write when some question long forgotten...30) The thing that makes me feel so happy is that she bought it, and a pair of kickass jeans, of her own volition. She listened to my advice. That... well, that makes me feel pretty awesome myself
. I took the train back yesterday afternoon so I couldn't catch 'Maou' in time, I hope nobody was waiting for the caps, if anyone did, I'm sorry for not saying before ^^; After that, I got busy for...as present.. -_-. what's with this pic, it's totally out of focus! ..so that's why he asked me to take a 2nd pose, hum But do you see the orchid? aren't they pretty?and they are hugeee!
Over the last couple days I have found myself talking about my family more than usual. I have spent several hours with each of my in-laws, and naturally we want to know more about each other. Family is...going to handle this. I don't think she believes in God, and surely you would have to believe in God to ride anywhere with an 84 year old man in an airplane held together by ductape and super glue
My grandmother on my mom's side died six years ago today. Since then both grandparents on my father's side have died. My mom is a little somber at the moment, and understandably so - she called her sisters...old boy* "Fay leaves Florida with two new sinkholes" LOL whut? "Fay, Gustav and Hanna" *gasp* A three-way? Was I drunk? "Fay Causes Low Early Voting Turnout" Oh yeah, that's right, blame me
