paying dues might get you in the club but it doesnt grant acceptance as a member. I get very tired of stupidity riding out in behaviors and words from some self important people in our community. It seems they target some segments of our community, from trans folks to POC to BBW to PIR (people in recovery)....sometimes we can stand inside the rainbow and the other colors scatter or else they shove us out of the way so our own colors get diluted or disappear. I am weary of watching it and I am certainly weary of it affecting me personally....

People who take others hostage with their incessant drama and unhealthy obsessions. I wish them all the joy and happiness in the world on their path. They have their own lessons to learn. But, I really do not need that kind of energy or negativity in my life in any way.
So, I'll brush it off, ignore the drama, and move on along my path having learned a few more lessons that will contribute to my growth and life experience. On to bigger, better, and more challenging things! |

Thanks for the encouragement, Zimmy!
I'm meeting with my advisor to discuss law school (with a focus in women's issues and LGBT rights) or a PhD in Women and Gender Studies. Either way, it sounds like a lot more school is in my future but both paths sound super cool. Good luck in nursing school! You'll do great! Laerkin |

ARGH!!!! Those dreaded email forwards I get daily from my Dad...they cover a wide range of subjects, i.e. anti-Obama, religious, pro-Islamophobia, pro-Hispaniphobia, narrow minded, pro-war, some tea party-like stuff, etc. Many contain misinformation.
For some reason people believe that if it comes in their email it must be true especially if it references Snopes. They don't bother going to Snopes independently of the email to read exactly what, if anything, the site has to say about the subject. Sometimes it merely confirms that the person who wrote whatever the email claims was written but fails to confirm, dispute or discredit the topic/facts. I know that some day I will actually miss getting these emails from Dad but so help me I could just scream when he and my stepmother pass this garbage along. When I see him this weekend I know the proposed Islamic Center in lower Manahattan will come up. As will the topic of immigration. I have 2 things to say in reponse to those topics: 1 -- I will ask my Dad "What if the 9-11 terrorists had been Roman Catholic?" 2 -- I will remind him and my stepmother that their ancestors who came to this country pre-Mayflower or on the Mayflower can be considered invaders or illegal immigrants. Think about it...exactly what gave them the right to move here and just take over forcing out the Native Americans who were sovereign nations with governments? Any nobody better give me that "Well you have to remember what the times were then..." crap. OK, I can hear Shelia now - "Honey, you've had too much caffeine and it's way to early in the morning for your brain to be switched on in this manner..." |

Job search is not going well here
Contemplating what I should do next Time is of the essence, I'll be in this house alone soon I told R the most cats I can keep is 4 possibly 5 She siad she's not worried about placing the others I sure hope she's right I worry some of them may die from broken hearts when they have to leave me It's one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make The pain in my heart hurts and weighs heavy on me daily I find tears flowing regularly now as I think about them I wished I had a better solution but I don't I just don't have the finances to keep them all together I keep telling myself, rescues are supposed to go to good homes What if they're not good homes and R rushes to place them In the end, I'm the one that'll hurt over this not her

Thank you Laerkin!
I am really enjoying my Anatomy and Physiology class! Your focus sounds interesting and very good at the same time! A friend of mine from the dash site is doing a similar plan. Hy is taking classes to become a Sociologist. I sent hym Trans Liberation: Beyong Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg, they don't sell it in Europe. Have a good night and a good holiday weekend, Zimmy Quote:

((((Wolfy))),
Letting go of your beloved pets is a hard thing to do. Five years ago, I had to do it, I was moving in with my oldest bro after my ex and I broke up, and my nephew is allergic to them. Leaving you with friendly hugs and hope you have a good night, Zimmy Quote:

Waiting for one, decent nights sleep which doesn't involve me having to get myself stoned on painkillers so I can lay comfortably.

my mind is on others and how the man with no shoes thought he had it bad until he met the man with no feet.
