What's On Your Mind 6

What's up?

Edit: First post and you suckas can't do nothin about it :cool:

[Sperm-Doll Setsuna]

I feel too warm for no reason.

[Brutus]

All I've done today is lie on the couch and drink coffee.
I need to get out more as I feel really ill, probably due to the fact I haven't left the house for 2 or 3 days

I went with my sister to this asian take-out place today. It was the first time I left my flat in a month. :cool:

[Quail]

Small children are sweet. My son doesn't see gender yet, he just sees people. He's happy to look around a toy shop and look at all the toys, regardless of whether they're marketed at girls or boys. He doesn't care if a dolls house is pink, it's just a fun toy to him, but I wonder how long that will last. It's a shame children can't stay like that forever.

[Taters]

There's a stray cat that would come up to my window for a little over a week. I fed it some, but I haven't seen it in a couple of days. Worried about it. :(

If I don't leave the house at least once a day I start jumping out of my skin basically. Cabin fever like mad.

So I got accused of being an Ultra-left for defending anarchism against tankies, I think I'll take that as a compliment.

It's kinda funny, revisonist tankies call me ultra-left and left-comms call me, actually you fellows haven't called me a bad name in a while so I guess you can have some credit. Or perhaps you just save all the name calling for the private groups I'm not in.

[Pretty Flaco]

im going to start classes this summer at ivy tech. its only community college but im still excited. just having a high school diploma is rare in my family and i cant wait to start going to classes. ive been putting in work to be able to save money and when i start ill have to keep putting in work! but once i get through, i wont have to worry so much. i cant wait. :grin:

[Landsharks eat metal]

Some guy called me "dude" when I checked out his books for him at the library. I'm going to pretend it's because I actually pass as male instead of the fact that he's a teenage boy who probably calls everyone dude.

Seriously man that is really impressive. Good for you and happy bday, sounds like you deserve a day to indulge.

Some dude just called me out for sexism and homophobia because I said that when I was 12 I thought sailor Neptune was a lesbian. Then he told me to watch my back, over twitter. Dude is total armchair/twitter anarchist, I could totally kick his ass. So I posted this.

Also just mentioned my full name on twitter, outing me.

Lately I've been super horny and it's kind of annoying while I'm at work because so many hot moms come to shop in the morning. Just look at the tiles ART, look down at the tiles and ignore all human interaction. I need a girlfriend...

I've noticed I've been feeling the same way. I think it has something to do with the weather or something.

I always felt that over the summer you can wear as few clothes as you want. 95% of the time I'm probably shirtless and even a good portion of the day is pantless.

Fuck it, it's hot.

It seems like spring disapeared from Europe. It is like we are still in winter.

It's been like that over in parts of the United States too. Here, the first day of spring we had a foot of snow.

[Luc]

Me too, but a) this country is freezing cold and b) I'd probably get told to cover up anyway because my breasts are always seen as sex objects.

Yep. Are you in the UK? My breasts are not welcomed- but I am male, so...

[Quail]

Yeah, I'm in the UK and there's still snow on the ground here. Not much, just little bits that haven't melted. I wonder if that's why naturism hasn't taken off as much here as in other parts of Europe. It's just too damn cold.

American dubs always remove things like that. Occasionally they have recast effeminate boys as being women to avoid stirring the pot of American conservatism.

got diagnosed with mdd today, which seems more in line with what i've felt then dysthmia. i'm glad to be honest, its good to have as much info about what you're going through as possible. spent most of my shift today watching the food channel, don't work tmro so i'm drinking beer. today's been alright overall.

Somehow I just ended up watching combat footage from the Syrian civil war just now. It pisses me off so fucking much to see people die. I don't get sad, just extremely angry and disgusted.

[Pretty Flaco]

todays such a good day out. enjoyed the weather for a little while just sitting out on the stoop. took some time to call back some places i'd applied at too, and i'm confident i may have a new job. :)
looking for a new second job as well. once i get this job up and running i might try and pick up some weekend night shifts or something.

[Pretty Flaco]

aha they called me back i got the job. :D
start tomorrow in the morning. they didnt say when my shift was over but honestly i dont care. ill work til they close. i was out of work for about 2 weeks and the whole goddamn time i felt like a fucking bum and felt stressed the fuck out. i need money.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

On Monday I have my GED math final. If I pass it then I will have earned my GED and I will be able to plan for the next step in my life. Don't know if I will pass. I have improved quite a bit since my last try but regardless I can tell that it will be close.

I'm trying to find this quote from a US general, politician, or something about how the government just use soldiers for their own purposes or whatever because I need it for something. All I know is that I saw it on a TheYoungTurks video a while back and I can't find it no matter how hard I try and I'm going crazy over it. :crying:

[Os Cangaceiros]

This medication or whatever that I'm taking has given me a lot of energy. I'm wide awake all the time now and really restless. They say it's because the drugs are unlocking potential energy that was previously latent in my system. I also have an insatiable appetite but I'm more paranoid about what I eat now, so I'm always hungry. It's torture.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Although I have also been smoking a lot of weed, so perhaps that's part of where my insatiable hunger is coming from...

I get to go see some of my friends from high school and meet their new baby rats today!!! They got the rats from the psychology class I took back in high school. We've been talking about meeting up at some point, but it was never working out. I haven't seen them in a while. We had a lot of fun together in high school and they thought I was awesome because I was a senior and they were freshmen and I liked to hang out with them anyway. It's been a while since I've gotten to play with a baby rat, Trisha is more than 2 years old now. I got Trisha when I was in high school. It's kind of weird to think about how much things changed in that time.

I'm trying to find a word. Its definition is related to that of "Utopia" except that unlike Utopia, which means a sort of unattainable paradise, the word I am searching for means a attainable situation which is as close to a utopia as possible. Urgh, I tried briefly searching on dictionary online but couldn't figure out anything. If anyone knows of the word please send it my way.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

My mom invited me to go to this charity run/walk today when she was leaving and I looked out the window and saw it was starting to sprinkle a little I said no because I'm not trying to get soaked walking for 3 miles. But I look outside right now when they're supposed to start and it's nice and sunny outside wtf! Gonna see Evil Dead at 1 though, get a little drunk/high before I go though for better viewing time :D

Filing taxes right now though, getting like $400 back WOOT!

My rats are so cute! They're total chick magnets too. Worried about the lump one of them has by his leg though - getting someone to take him to the vets on monday to have it checked out as I'll be in the library losing the will to live.

Worked 11 hours today. Wasn't bad at all! Tomorrow I work 9 and I work a couple days during the week. A friend told me they're going to cap my hours at 30 and I'll almost be at that cap in 3 days. :rolleyes:

[Art Vandelay]

I prefer working longer shifts to be honest. I generally work 12 hour days, which means I can work 3 days a week, get almost full time (36 hours) and have 4 days off per week, which is pretty kick ass. That's more then enough money for me to get by, but I pick up a shift delivering pizzas every now and then as well.

I drink way too many drinks with caffeine each day. Coffee, tea, energy drinks, etc. and they're expensive. It can't be good for me either. I think over-consumption of caffeine is a growing trend, one that I've noticed in school, and one that's common in lower paying jobs. Everybody's gotta waste their money on a goddamn redbull, monster, whatever. Or maybe you gotta grab a pack a cigarettes. Pick your poison.

My brothers are sexists. They think slut shaming is okay. I always knew I was better than them.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Last night I stopped bullshitting and admitted to myself that my "toothache" was that of an abscessed tooth; the realization that waking up every 40mins with the overwhelming needs to take three and four ibuprofen at a time wasn't something common to a normal cavity was what sent me into my general mood. God, can't believe this happened literally the day before I am scheduled to take my GED math final; am gong to have to haul along a whole bottle of fucking pills now just so I can stay concentrated on my work for the three and a half hours I will be away engaged in fucking math.

In related news: the funniest jokes I hear are when my teeth are impacted. The jokes, as a strange coincidence, always happen to be on the backs of painkiller bottles; it goes to the extent of "Don't exceed 6 in 24 hours" or the more hilarious "Don't exceed 3 in 24 hours". As I said, funny.

[Brutus]

How's that funny? Am I missing something.

[Starship Stormtrooper]

How's that funny? Am I missing something.

My guess is that its funny because in all likelihood he needs far more to get him through the day with an abscessed tooth.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

And antibiotics if he doesn't want permanent heart damage

[TheGodlessUtopian]

How's that funny? Am I missing something.


My guess is that its funny because in all likelihood he needs far more to get him through the day with an abscessed tooth.

Yeah, that is it. Yesterday I took sixteen Aleve but only stopped because my parents freaked out. For the remainder of that night I took Oraljel which seems to work decently well depending on how much I smear on my teeth.


And antibiotics if he doesn't want permanent heart damage

...and liver damage. Unfortunately I do not have any antibiotics. Last time it was impacted (a different tooth) my dentist prescribed some antibiotics which helped immensely but between now and that point is a far ways away :(
- - -
Today seems a bit better in terms of pain. In addition my parents are visiting the dentist today to try and get me a recommendation to see the oral surgeon to have it removed. I am hoping they come back with a prescription for some antibiotics but I somehow doubt they will walk away with much as the dentist I see is so busy they might not even give them the time of day. Can always hope though. In the meantime I will just have to cut down on pills a bit and rely more on oraljel when it gets bad (as if there is a "good" and "bad" but you know). Anways... should be enough to get me through school tonight.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

The good news is that I got a referral, the bad news is that it cost over four hundred dollars and we now have less than fifty dollars to live on for the next two weeks. I feel less than awesome for taking up such a large part of the family money :(

[TheGodlessUtopian]

I was talking with my mother yesterday about when they visited the dental people and found out just how much money talks: originally the dental people said it would be two weeks before my tooth could be extracted but once it was said that we could pay upfront all the expenses all of a suddenly the secretary goes, "Oh look, there is a date open this Wednesday!"

Pff... two weeks without paying upfront, two days with paying: so its true, money talks.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

bought a pack of cigarettes today. smoked four because I was feeling depressed. I'm not going to start a habit again, though, or at least that's what I'm telling myself. Just socially on the occasion. Locked them in my glove box in my car after the last one about 30 minutes go.

Good luck man. I've kinda just realized I'm not as addicted to smoking as I thought I was. I went the past two days without one, even though all of today I had a fresh pack of camels. I mean I'll break it open tonight, but didn't seem to have a craving the past two days, despite usually smoking a half pack a day.

A lot of the addiction is in your head. If you can go three days without cigarettes you're through the physical withdrawals. I've quit several times, most recently a year and a half ago. Until, uh, yesterday when this girl was feeding me smokes then today when I bought a pack.

I find I mostly crave them when drinking or driving (they say not to smoke every time you do a certain activity, but yeah I do). But after a night of drinking and smoking a bunch, I usually don't crave them again till the next night. I could easily do 3 days I think, as long as I wasn't doing bad mentally health wise, but don't even really want to quit.

You're lucky. I'd get withdrawals bad by the next morning when I was smoking. But yeah, not smoking while driving is a big help to cut back. Cutting that out for about two months before the last time I quit helped a bunch, because you smoke just that much less (well I drive a lot so your mileage kilometerage may vary). I could never resist the post-meal-cigarette, though. It was always the most important one next to the legendary first-cigarette-of-the-day.

Heh well my first cig of the day usually comes while I'm driving home after dropping my lil bro off at school, so yes that one generally is legendary. I do love a smoke after a big meal though, tobacco on a full stomach is heavenly. I smoke most when drinking though, but I guess my nicotine addiction has gone down, since I used to go through a tin every two days. When I deliver pizza's though (which isn't often) I tend to smoke alot.

Judo wasn't on tonight, but I walked there anyway and some other guy (who I don't think has been training long because I can't remember his name at all) told me it was off and we walked a bit of the way back making small talk. I mentioned I was in my 4th year of a maths degree and that I enjoy it and think the logical way you think about things in pure maths is a useful skill.
"So would you say you're a logical person?" he asked, and I replied that I was.
Then he kind of mumbled a bit and said something like, "I'm not a woman, but aren't women supposed to be more emotional?"
WHAT
I just said that I was a mixture of logic and emotion, as most people are. I wish I'd said something better though.

I guess 'transient' is the only real word I can come up with.

I have what is usually considered a very big decision to make. I recognize that the choice I make will effect me for the rest of my life.

I can't attach any importance to it whatsoever. I just don't care anymore. I need to decide whether or not I'm going to end up going to college. My parents want me to go, but they seem to do so out of some belief that it'll be so radically different than high school and I'll end up being happy there. I find it doubtful. I've cost them so much money already, and I don't really think I'd be any happier with a well-paying job than a shit-paying job.

More than that, I guess, it's kind of been happening to my whole life. It's not existential angst, but nothing in my life seems to engage me any more. I've been diagnosed with depression for quite some time now, but my awareness of it seems to flicker on and off.

I do nothing all day and then yell at myself for the nothing.

I realize that pretty much everyone on here has problems that are more serious than mine, so apologies. I'm so fed up with everything.

Overnight my socket started to bleed again. So when I bent over the sink to allow the blood drain it was like I was a vampire in some fucked up horror movie; imagine pouring a small glass of blood and gooey clots into the sink and you'll have an idea of what came out of my mouth.

[TheRedAnarchist23]

Today I went out with some friends, and we bought a whole box of pizza. Since we were not able to eat all of the pizza, we gave it to a homeless man in front of the mall where we were.

I don't know why I bother to look at the comments on some FB pics, they are always a let-down. Just a few minutes ago a "revolutionary" page posted a 9/11 Rothschild conspiracy picture and there was a bunch of anti-Semitic comments. Then on another thread of some of the worst US atrocities there were the libertarian trolls moaning about the Federal Reserve... urgh :rolleyes:

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Will be calling the Oral Surgeon on Monday. Why? Because in the last few hours I have drained so much blood and clots from my mouth that I filled up a small glass. This is ridiculous.

Since I posted this I've filled that glass up close to three times. However, the good new is that the socket finally stopped bleeding! I dunno how long it will last but damn I'll take it! I was getting a bit scared there for a minute.

Good thing it stopped too because let me tell you this: If I had to call that surgeon I would have had some choice fucking words for him. Now to clean myself up in anticipation for my friend's B-day celebration; I am literally covered in blood and have to make myself look something more than a articulate zombie vampire.

[Quail]

TGU, your tooth issues sound horrendous. 3 cups of blood? Hope things start to get better soon.

Thanks comrade.

I am proud to report that since my last posting my situation has improved dramatically. My socket is no longer bleeding and there is hardly even any trace of clots. The turn around it much welcomed and came at a most opportune time; now I'll be able to attend my friend's B-day celebration without worrying about constant bleeding, and I might even get a good night's sleep.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I'm not new to dating, but I've never been good at it either, hah. Anyway, after being in a few long-term and/or serious relationships since 2008, I've been single the last year. Now that I'm kind of throwing myself back out there, I'm utterly confused. I'm socially awkward and generally a shy person. However, whenever a girl goes out of her way to talk to me, it seems like she has nothing to say or offer, or even have general interests. Like, you've made the first step to talk to me first... now what?! NOTHING?! I'M SO CONFUSED.
This is becoming a very disappointing trend in my life the last few months.

So instead I'm going to make some tater tots and read, because that sounds sweet right now.

[Leftsolidarity]

So last night I accidently punched this girl on the head. To make it worse it was her birthday party and she was desperately trying to get me to sleep with her. I was really drunk and she was even more so and in the middle of this band playing she pulls my dreads from the back in holds them there so im arched backwards. I thought it was my other friend who likes to get drunk and pick fights with me so i threw a drunk punch in the general direction and hit her on the head. I realized who it was right afterwards and still feel pretty bad about it. I think she was drunk enough to neither feel it at the time nor remember it now, though, so I think it's all good.

Maybe it's the punching that brings my sex appeal ;)

But all joking aside, it seems like a good amount of the females (why can't it ever be cute men :() that have been coming around lately have been trying to have sex with me. It's cool for about 5 seconds of an ego boost but when you're really just not interested in having sex with someone and they are constantly trying to get with you, it's just awkward and kinda creepy. That's just with 1 person, have that times like 6 with at least 2 of them almost always in the room with you.

My roommate told me she overheard a big group of girls refer to me as some greek god that's like the most beautiful thing ever (idk it's name) and talk about how they wanted to get me really drunk so they can take advantage of me.

Soooooooo yeah cool I guess? Not really, though. It doesn't even make any fucking sense. I'm dirty, usually intoxicated, and an asshole. The fact that a number of people want to have sex with me is just fucking stupid in all honesty.

I'm in similar situations, but, I'm kinda the opposite of you. I'm clean cut, try to dress well in polos and stuff (fuck pastels though), short shaggyish hair, and it seems everywhere I go, bars, whatnot, there's at least one girl giving me 'that look' (well last night there were like 5 at the bar I was at and they were all with guys) or trying to talk to me, sometimes even women in their 30s (I'm in my 20s). But I'm really shy. It's so hard for me to break the ice and talk to someone I don't know. When I do meet someone, and it doesn't work out, it's like, fuck, it's going to be forever before I work up the courage to talk to someone else and can stand to talk to them for more than 5 minutes.


Friday night this woman was hitting on me hard at the bar, but, for some reason, I didn't want to talk to her / didn't know what to say so I was blowing her off like a jackass, and she kept coming back to me, then she goes to leave, somehow had found out my name (bartender told her I guess, they know me) and hugs me and says "Next time we're having a serious one on one conversation". I think it weirded me out that she was like 10 years older than me and a barfly even though she was kinda hot.


I need to stop being so shy and transfer my confident slightly drunk self into my normal personality.

I went on R/Communism today and saw some one post an "open letter to Maoist Revolutionary Parties" written by some Canadian fucks that accused my comrades who are trying to rebuild the RIM of being "first worldist" and "revisionist", even though no-one in the Maoist movement gives a fuck about MTWism. So I went on a paragraph long rant about how MTWism is bourgeois because it was created by people who went to fucking Harvard.

I admit that I was harsh in my tone and I self-critize. MTWism has alot to offer the left in theory. It's just that they are the most pretensions sectarian assholes in the world. Seriously, just the other day they called the Shining Path "Trotskyist" because they aren't as fucking stupid as the MIM. Honestly if Maoist-Third Worldists weren't such assholes I might be able to see their spam in r/communism without completely flipping out.

RevLeft is part of the sectarian left, meaning it is not indicative of the whole revolutionary movement; if you base your conclusions about the revolution based on people from an online forum than you have much to learn (no offense).

Likewise I never saw the point in adhering to an ideology out of some ideal which states you support [said parameters] only if they can occur in your life time. When I declared myself a Leftist, when I was transitioning out of ultra-conservative ideology, I had no illusions that the revolution would not occue in my lifetime. Yet nonetheless I decided to "convert" and uphold the various Leftist accomplishments and ideology because I saw myself as part of the movement to build a better world. It certainly is a long dream but something I would prefer over the bourgeois delusions concerning capitalism.

Leftist sects are much the same way (especially tendencies). Yet at the end of the day it doesn't matter because if the revolution is to happen all of the revolutionary circles are going to have to find common ground against the reactionary tide. Do what you need to do and forget what anyone else says; the best panacea to this is to try and get something started in real life. You will find that the people you encounter when building a real world foundation are much better than many random online revolutionaries.

I seriously can't wait for college. I have been looking at pictures and reading over details of the university I want to attend and have been drooling over the prospect of living on campus. I am so ready to move towards a better, different portion of my life; doing this is exactly what I need. This isn't to say I am naive; I know hat a college degree doesn't automatically mean I will have a job afterwards, but right now this is what I want to do. The only problem is getting in. Everyone I have talked to seems quite positive that I'll have no trouble being accepted but I am a pessimist so I have my doubts; just passing my GED, being accepted, and making the slot for dorms makes me think that I do not have a chance. But still, patience. In any case I have my current focuses now and have to maintain myself.

In other news I am still waiting for my test results. It's been about a week since I took the final but still likely have a week or so to wait. Its killing me not knowing. I am desperate to pass. While failing wouldn't be awful it would impede my speedy progress to college and it would slow down my other projects. I think I performed well but again... I am a pessimist and so believe that the questions I thought I got correct could be wrong.

So in conclusion: anxiety and anticipation mixed as one.

Yesterday evening I realised (again) why I hate some of my quasi-elite friends. We sat in a cafe after school and they (both sexes) started talking about how some girl was stupid because she didn't wear good clothes in a picture. I wanted to shoot someone - myself or them, doesn't matter. I went home a couple of minutes later.

I'm not depressed, but those situations really touch my nerve.

Nah. The Shining Path has managed not to split yet, proving beyond a doubt that they are not Trotskyists.

Not that it wouldn't be awesome.

Well, I do not plan on doing much partying. After all, I am not spending a small fortune just to "have a good time" 24/7. I am going to learn skills which someday will be of use to me (whenever I am able to find a job post-graduation). So I will be focusing wholly on studying.

Perhaps when stuff like that happens, you could try and think back to times when you've gotten opposite comments. I can't remember when, but I do think I remember you posting something that someone had said to you once which made you feel better as far as gender dysphoria goes.

Are you 2 in an open relationship or something?

[human strike]

Are you 2 in an open relationship or something?

Yeah, for now. The more I think about it the more uneasy I feel. I'm not worried, it's just a fairly irrational reaction I'm having. I think perhaps I might be intimidated by her. Whilst it's an open thing and not meant to be serious yet, I'm not sleeping with anyone else and have no intention of doing so. I just don't do casual sex really, and whenever I have I've always felt shit about it afterwards. And maybe rather than being bothered by her telling me, it's actually her not telling me at the time that's bothering me. I'm pretty confused and would talk to her about it again but I'm not even really clear myself on what my boundaries are. Also, I feel a bit embarrassed after last night when we were talking about where this is going and then I later got quite drunk and insecure about everything. It's so typical of me to make dramas out of everything. Urgh I'm embarrassed by even being bothered by this. I don't like it, it's all confusing. >_>

Met a really cool Spanish girl at a bar in SF. We flirted a bit while waiting in the line for the bathroom (which is not like me), but we were both drunk so I don't think it really counts. She had a boyfriend, too. :(

Also tabled for 5 straight hours today, fuck. It was for this major event at UCB where incoming freshmen/transfers spend the day at Cal and look at the different campus organizations. Met a lot of cool people though, got several contacts that I might meet and follow up with. SEP set up a table next to us though, so that kinda sucked.

Sometimes, when I get on revleft, I feel the whole left is quite absurd/delusional.

It's particularly absurd when sectarian strife between Leninists and Anarchists come up. I've seen many jabs against anarchists (and others like left-coms or whatever) about how "irrelevant" in regards to track-record/to the past (e.g. "Which is the tendency that has lead to the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, et.al. What has anarchism/left-com have done other than whine?").

I just find these jabs absurd because they seem so out of touch from the present (i.e. totally ignoring how irrelevant Leninist parties and the entire left is in contemporary times particularly in the "1st world") and delusional (Those historical examples of "glorious proletarian dictatorship" all failed, the Soviet bloc quite spectacularly and catastrophically; nearly all have or are in some process of reverting to capitalism).

I also find the whole "revisionism" or "capitalist roadsters" coming out of basically "nowhere" amusingly remind me of the stupid Occupy Liberal/Libertarian concept of "corporate greed corruption" ruining "our fine capitalist model in America." Both this "corporate corruption" and "revisionism" come from, are inherent to, the material realities by their respective systems/models (the Leninist model, the Capitalist system).

I am terrified of my girlfriend leaving me. We've been together for over 4 years and I have no reason to think she would, but I can't stop worrying about it. Its probably in part due to the fact that she's going on a trip with her friend and in part due to the fact that I have such low self esteem. I have no worries she'd ever cheat on me, its just that she's a very attractive and intelligent girl and I have no clue why a cute blond who is going to school to be a doctor, would want to be with a borderline drop out and borderline alchie, not to mention constantly depressed and negative, like me. I'm terrified of her coming to me one day and saying she's met someone better, even more then that I'm terrified she already has. The dumbest part is that our relationship is better then it has been in a while, yet I can't stop focusing on these negative thoughts.

I've decided to buy a mini-fridge with the money my grandmother sent me for graduating High School. It is a purchase I am making in anticipation for college. It is something I need for that time and since I cannot reply wholly on my parents for the content I need I must buy what I can when I can. The fridge I have in mind will take up most of my gift but it is precisely what I was looking for so it is money well-spent.

I took the guy I work with to a dance today that is put on by a local activity center for people with developmental disabilities. He had such a great time and was dancing non-stop for hours; he was literally pouring sweat. I hate dancing, but a couple different girls who were there kept asking me to dance with them and I couldn't say no. It got awkward though when one of them wanted to exchange phone numbers with me and I kinda paused and told her it wouldn't be appropriate. Watching the two people there with cerebral palsy laughing and smiling as they were being pushed around on the dance floor in their wheel chairs made my day.

Interesting REVOLUTION meeting today: was expecting this long bit concerning the usual topics (articles, discussion, etc) but instead got essentially a ear-ful that our current leader is approaching the age limit and is thus passing the torch to us and waiting on a decision on whether we want to carry forward with the organization.

It is a good article, lists some important facts to keep in mind when evaluating his actions. Far from perfect but neither the horrible monster he is predicted to be. There was a thread around here somewhere exactly concerning this article but it never developed into something coherent. If you have any questions concerning it PM me or ask around in the MLM usergroup.

Kind of want to post a passive-aggressive status on facebook because I'm annoyed at my partner, partially due to him and partially due to pms, but I'll settle for this stupid and pointless post instead, because I hate people who post passive-aggressive shit on facebook.

[Leftsolidarity]

I wish people weren't so annoying. People just walk into my room all day and just sit down on my bed or something and don't go away, then more people come in, then they probably want me to smoke them up, and they want me to entertain them or they don't shut up.

It's like can't you just fuck off? I was sitting here by myself doing my own shit not with you. I'm not your fucking dancing monkey for when you're bored nor is my room an open hang out spot whenever you feel like it. It's my room and you can read the sign on the door telling you to fuck off so why did you come in?

Or, particularly one of my friends, is always messaging me asking who's at the house or what's going on or can I ask everybody something for her or get her shit she left somewhere. I'm a person living in a communal house. I'm not a fucking secretary for a motel. I'm not obligated to do shit for you and am not going to because I don't give a damn about your problems.

Hella just almost got in a fight with some white supremacists. just sitting in Wendy's with my friends and there's hella teenagers there because they just got out of prom. So a large group of people predominantly black and Latino sit down near us, probably taking up like four tables. Then out of nowhere from across the room two older(like in their 30's) white dudes heil and shout white power towards them. So I jokingly yell "KILL WHITEY" and everybody laughs. I thought they were just joking around but they were fucking serious. They got up and went to their table and started saying how they're going to lynch the "niggers" and deport the "beaners". Which obviously got my blood boiling so I start yelling from my table fuck off you Nazi punks. They tell me to go see them outside so I was like fuck it let's do this. Get out the booth and all the guys from the table got up to and followed me out saying how they're going to help beat these motherfuckers ass. We go outside and those idiots realize like 5 other dudes besides me were coming for them to and they just booked it to there cars. It was pretty awesome, should have ended with some fucked up racists though.

Woke up and was like "It's beautiful, I'm gonna go smoke a bowl on the front porch." I lean out my window and there's 4 squad cars in my alleyway. Chilled on the front porch all morning with the neighbors and roommates watching the cops and city inspectors in our backyard cuz they were arresting these people that were moving in next door. After all that was finished the city inspector starts looking around the outside of our house (which doesn't look the best). He asked if our landlord took care of us and we said we were fine then he just chilled and talked for awhile and was a pretty nice guy. He got in his car and pulled up to my roommate and was like "You guys got enough to eat?" and my roommate said he supposes so. Then the city inspector handed him 6 bucks and was like "Spend it on smokes or booze or something"

Mind fuck :confused:

This drunk as fuck dude was just hitting his dog in our front lawn so we yelled at him to 1) not beat his fucking dog and 2) to get the fuck out of our yard.

Then he starts screaming at us and calling us faggots and trying to fight us. So we grabbed up our pipes and knives and made our way to the front porch. He was telling us to come fight him but we're not about to jump off our property and become the ones getting arrested.

After a long confrontation while his buddies hold him back, he gets dragged away saying we were to scared to fight him.

What a stupid fucking thing to do. Antagonizing a porch full of people with weapons who would honestly love to bash your face on the spot but are just waiting for you to come onto their property. He's pretty lucky that he did that in front of our house and not most of the others around us who probably wouldn't have had the forethought to stay on their property.

Yesterday I was at work and there was a girl working the cash register who looked pretty cute. So I'm sitting there working and I'll look up and catch her staring at me. Instead of looking away like most people do when they're checking someone out and they get caught she kept eye contact and then would hella smile. So I'm like damn she is totally into me. I tested this out like 6 times and she did the exact same thing every time, kept staring and would smile hella flirty. The last time she even like bit her lip so I was like fuck it I'm making a move. So a couple minutes later team leader says its lunch time so I approach her and she's staring at me the whole time with a smile on her face and I'm just thinking she wants some wild crazy sex. So after a little flirting which she seemed super into the whole time I asked her if she wanted to take this conversation to a more private setting(if you catch my drift). She keeps smiling, bites her lip, and says "I have a boyfriend." So I ask her is that a no. She nods so I tell her if she's sure, that her boyfriend won't find out. She said she was sure and I felt defeated.

The thing is she wouldn't keep her eyes off me the whole time after that. Like what's up with that?! Makes me hella confused, I gave her my number just in case she changes her mind. I feel like that's straight up creeper status but I can't help the feeling she's into me.

I've been wondering what the new healthcare law is going to do, or, what the IRS is going to do when I don't get medical insurance ($$$$large fine$$$$). I'll bet it'll bring on an audit as well. Law makers slipped in some anti-smoking stuff where they will allow health insurance companies to charge smokers 50% higher premiums. I've also had two hospital stays for broken bones which will make my premiums higher, I'll be a 'high risk'. I'm looking at around a 6 to 8 hundred a month bill I can't afford. Last time I had insurance it was 500 a month and this was about 5 years ago. Every time I turn around more money/value is being extracted from me, money is time, time is life. I feel like this cartoon is strangely somehow an attack on capitalism.

Had a stressful day at work today, was just in a shitty mood and kinda pissed at everything. The guy I work with was really getting on my nerves today (which hasn't ever happened before, so it was probably more cause of my mood then anything he was doing) but I kept my cool and we did a bunch of different stuff. Then at the end of my day I'm just counting down the seconds till I get to leave and he comes up to me and tells me how much fun he had today and gives me a big bear hug. I could just feel all my irritability dissipate instantly and it just gave me a little reminder of why I love my job so much.

Ran into this NDP liberal guy I used to play hockey with at the beer vendor and he pretty much thinks I'm insane for being a communist. I wanted to troll him by praising Stalin or something. Going to go watch its always sunny in philadelphia at a friends place and get drunk.

We made over $50, free beers, free cigarettes, free soda that the bar across the street gave us, and the guy who books the shows there came out and talked to us wanting to get us playing shows there. Also, met a band manager of sorts who wants us to help get their band playing shows at our place. Some guy also got stabbed in the arm or some shit right down the block so there were bunches of cops there for awhile. It was a good night.

I don't really know what that means; it might be specific to the certain school. At my high school, I graduated with Honors, which meant I took a certain amount of honors and Advanced Placement level classes plus a foreign language elective for at least 3 years, but that sounds different from what you're talking about.
