New Year's Resolution
My one resolution for 2012 is to do whatever I can to topple the pillars of society that seek to hold up white superiority.

Yea… I’m there.
Oh yeah.
Ask and it appears. Or coincidence.
So, this morning, based on reading some fluffy-puffy internet stuff, I decided to spend my train ride into work writing down what I wanted to get out of the day.
Since I’m temping (after being made redundant July 1st), I’ve done a few jobs of varying busy-ness. Current job falls on the less busy side of the equation, mostly. Especially since I am in the lowest possible role.
But this...

Gah friends
So one of my (white) friends recently had another (white) friend come to visit her from the States.
As we were grocery shopping together, she said, “You’d love Carla, she’s a hardcore anti-racist feminist.”
I said, “I probably would!”
Then she said, “I told Carla about Xxxxx…”
Xxxxx being a racist incident that happened to me when I first...

I am currently boiling a skirt
…in a pot of red dye.
The last time I wore it, I was hanging out with my friend and her baby, who, at that point was a crawler/puller-upperer of self, and self-feeding.
I wanted to prove to myself and my friend how cool and non-prissy I was, so when the kid came at me with chocolate covered hands, I didn’t freak out or run away, and he pulled himself up using my skirt (baby pink...

But what about your health!
My life would be so much better if I could get all the fat haters who supposedly care about my health, to remind me to take my anti-depressants.
not a great start to the day
It’s Tuesday.
My first thought upon waking this morning was, “Why is my alarm going off when it’s the weekend?”
Also, my dreams were filled with theft, espionage, and a manipulative BJ given to a guard.

I think a lot of my difficulty in life comes from recognising ambiguity in what people say, even when they don’t.
Like, the other day I was showing off the boots I won (Boots for Broads! Yay!) and my co-worker asked if they were lined. And my brain starts going through, well, lined only in the way that all leather things are lined so that it’s not just plain leather against my legs,...

Someone's picked you on Quickmatch!
Oh, OKcupid.
I can guarantee that every time someone picks me on Quickmatch, all I have to do is pull up that 9-square box of potential candidates, select the most busted motherfucker from those 9, and that’s the guy who has chosen me.
GUARANTEED.
This morning, I had a notification of Quickmatch, and an email.
Busted motherfucker in the first row staring out like. I’m like, yeah,...

amusing myself
I’m doing a group project with two other people who have saddled me with the making of the powerpoint presentation. I am a pushover.
I wasn’t even planning on staying out the damn semester in this damn course and now I’m making a presentation, because I don’t want to fuck these two fucks over.
So I’ve got this one section about how there’s only one book under...

I have a cat in a no-pets apartment, and I think the owners saw me taking my boy out to the vet in his normal carrier (she was walking up the street and I was walking the other way), which is large and boxy and screams out, “See this illegal cat? I keep him illegally in the apartment I rent from you!”
On the other hand, when I took this place, the leasing agent said “no...

look-loop
This happens on OkCupid all the time.
Look-loop is when you look at someone’s profile (and don’t want to message them or anything), but this causes them to look at your profile. Then a few days later, you see that someone has looked at your profile, and you click on their profile. Then you realise it’s that person you looked at the other day. But then they see that you’ve...

Whole Foods Market Caves to Monsanto →
For a moment, I read the headline as Whole Foods trying to get Monsanto to grow their GM crops inside of caves to stop the contamination, and thought that was delightfully snarky.

I fell into a J-hole
That’s when you start reading your journals from your misspent youth, and then look up and realise that hours have passed.
Seriously, how is it 11:30 pm now?
Also, I realised that my journal from 2001 covers a pretty important date for some American people.
My entry from September 10, 2001 is about how my life at university is cold and hard.
There is no entry for the next day.

My happy box
I’m desperately seeking my passport, so I took out what I’m going to start calling my “happy box”.
It’s basically the big box of nostalgia and remembrances. A good friend calls her version of this box her happy box, and apparently her husband says, “I don’t know why you call it your happy box, since every time you take it out, you cry.”

a change is gonna come
If you’d asked me seven days ago about my life, I would have said that the three major spheres were full of suckage.
1. Work: I work with people who have said some fucked up racist bullshit. I am also underpaid and bored.
2. Home: Dislike my apartment and neighbourhood and the expense of living alone.
3. School: My TAFE course is ridiculously wasting my time.
