phinnia: smiling dolphin face (house/OMGolivia)
1. I spent seven years as a vegetarian. It started as a reaction to a badly done cut of meat (i don't remember what type it was now) and ended because of bacon. I still don't eat a lot of meat, and I like to buy local when I can. As far as bacon, I'm terribly spoiled by our local butcher's bacon and frequently refuse to buy anything else. (The backup bacon pusher is a local german deli who has double-smoked bacon.)

2. I hate the fact that I'm not currently working more than anything, because I really do believe in Linda Hirschman's philosophy that women have a responsibility to keep their work history and skills current. I keep applying for jobs but so far nothing's bothered to even call me. This leads to more self-loathing than I can adequately describe.

3. I love to write; I've always wanted to write. But I keep wrestling with the feeling that I need another, more "responsible" job. This leads to even more self-loathing. I really don't like myself very much. I try to hide it as much as I can, but it's really difficult.

4. My legs are spastic - stiff and difficult to move - and my arms and fingers are hypermobile.

5. My first major in college was film. I adore film history and I'm really excellent at writing about it. I wanted to do screenwriting because it was the closest I could get to writing. Again with the 'responsible' job. I would love to review films but - yeah, that again with the not-calling me back/not-finding a job doing it to even apply for.
and twenty more. )

Seattle public schools has this annoying habit of scheduling 1 hour early dismissals the day before major holidays. Is that a weird local thing, or does anyone else's school board do it too? I find it incredibly annoying (i want to squeeze every ounce of kidfree time that I can, especially before a holiday or no-break weekend, thank you very much). What the hell is this for? My hypothesis is that it's whiny parents who want their precious babies to come home early so they can all get into their SUV and go over the river to Grandma's House and omfg we can't POSSIBLY leave any later than whenever we're leaving because then It's All Over (™ Neil Gaiman, 'Wolves in the Walls') and the ridiculous conspiracy theorist in me says that eventually we'll all be forced to homeschool our children if we really loved them enough.

(damn this tinfoil hat is sure shiny and comfy)

(Issues? Yes, I do. just drive the truck up to the back and stop at recieving.)

Anyway. wtf?
