Left and Right switching seats

In one of today's sessions I had a women on my right say that on her campus they did "Porn and Popcorn" nights where they first watched a traditional porno and then a By women for women-produced porno, and then compared and contrasted the two and had a feminist discussion about it.
Then a woman on my left said that the president of her university didn't agree with women wearing pants.
I felt, litterally, right in between.

A Good Good Thing

Soooo, that was good.
Really, very, wonderfully good.
I am extremely impressed with the man the people of this country elected their leader.
I think he is a wonderful leader.
And, obviously, an extremely talented public speaker.


When you talk, you only hear what you already know.
But when you listen, you can learn.
That’s what I’m here in California to do now.
Listen and Learn.
I feel pretty confident I can do that.
At least the former.

You know what to do

Just go vote. Listen to Papa Nike and Just Do It.
If you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain afterwards (which is sooo fun) and the only statement you're making is that you don't  think your voice deserves to be heard.
And that's just silly.

Warm days to save

Whenever I listen to the local weather forecast, I feel like they’re saying it’s “unseasonably warm” and that “temperatures are well above average”.
Always.
And it’s been that way since we moved here, over two years ago. It’s never unseasonably cold and temperatures seem to never be low.
So maybe they should re-evaluate?
But since Sun Valley makes their own snow (it’s like the resort just flips off the sky and goes “I got money bitch! I’ll buy snow!!... so weird, anyways) I don’t have to worry.
Yet.
I will worry later if Pebble stays green and days stay warm.

This particular warm day (my, I think it was even unseasonably warm..) has been a good one. I went out to clean the litter box and ended up barefoot in my neighbour’s closet, going “holy crap this is huge!” and now that’s where we’re moving to.
Downstairs.
And not just the closet, either. The whole apartment.
We are moving, but without the renting a truck and having to collect boxes from grocery stores.
Win.

Then I went for a long walk with a good friend. It was like an active therapy session. We both got to vent. We both got to listen.
Fresh air, crunchy leaves, slow cars on the cemetery.
I returned with a lighter heart and a runny nose.

So yeah. Daylight saving and all.
I feel like I saved mine just fine.

Anyways

The election is almost over. Then we’ll know. And then I won’t any longer know (quite as easily) who to erase off of my facebook friends list without further reasoning. I actually struggled a little with that today…. Normally, I delete anybody who makes an Obama joke or expresses how they favour Romney, just like that. Except for this one (well, more like three) person who is just so freakin entertaining that I can’t stand to loose the posts, rants, drama sparks, inappropriateness and, quite honestly, flavour, this person brings to my news feed.
But I had that mental wrestling match with myself a long time ago, and won, so that’s history.


But no, today… today, I had a friend of my husband’s brother’s wife (I know, right… we’re obviously real close) share a non-Obamaish picture. And I was like “Nooooo, now I have to delete you and feel guilty, or not delete you and feel like hypocrite.. gosh!”

She’s not deleted yet.

What’s also interesting is that right when the semester started, we had dinner with some people and this one guy made this anti-Obama comment and I ended up sharing my one-post-you’re-out facebook rule and he was like “Oh wow so you’re gonna delete me?” and I was like “I don’t have to, we’re not facebook friends..” and then, a couple of weeks ago, he sent me a friend request. I ignored it. Seems like unnecessary button-clicking to first be- and then de-friend him.

Anyways.

I smell like ointment and peppermint

Got naked and now I feel amazing.
That's a massage for ya.
Now I'm thinking I should really do that weekly yoga session since I've kind of been slacking of lately.
Also, I want to do something fun tonight... I've been in a radom "oh I deserve this" kind of mood lately... don't know what that's all about, but I keep being nice to myself. Which I guess is nice. Although I should probably try to be nice to others too...?
Oh well.

Blue

Decided to mix it up. Got to change every once in a while.
So now it's blue.
I have a report to type, a lunch (which I just inhaled in less than ten minutes) to digest and a presentation to go to in a half hour.
But hey, it's Friday...
And I'm getting a massage tomorrow.
So there's that.
