(no subject)
I straightened my hair this morning. It's straight now. It's always straight-ish, but it always has waves, and now it doesn't and I am revelling.
It's Ay-sian.
(Yes, Maia, I'm stealing your hair.)
This week really sucked.
We're doing bigotry and racism and sexism and all that jazz in Guidance, and it's really beginning to piss me off. I mean, I've been discriminated against. My friends have. And I don't especially want to relive those experiences. And our teacher's going on and on about how this is part of our heritage and we should recognise it so we have things to tell our children and they'll know about their heritage, and I'm just thinking, well, yes, I'm Jewish, but the Holocaust isn't part of my heritage. And I don't really want to dwell on being called a stupid Jew in third grade. And I don't want my children to dwell on that either. I'm not saying we should completely ignore the bad parts of our history -- on the contrary, we should be aware of it. But sometimes you just have to know when something's past.
And now I want to punch out that motherfucking kid again.
I'm eating too many oranges. I've eaten at least four a day for the past five days... They're very surprising. I always think there's going to be less juice in each slice than there is.
I am so tired, I'm not making any sense at all.
This song is my anthem.
It's Ay-sian.
