I'm becoming an old woman.
So I found out today that I have free-reign web access at work. Man, this job could actually be okay. Spent most of the morning browsing all over notebook computers so I could have something to take with me around to work on my writing. Sadly, we're still broke for now, so I've got myself all worked up about being able to get a laptop in about two months or so. I feel like buying things, which is a little unlike me, so I don't know what the hell's wrong right now... Must be the blue stuff in the bottle sitting next to me.
Anywho, so James and Kim had a small throwdown a few rooms away in Kim's LJ. Bad James, bad, bad James. Though I don't have a large circle of people I feel really protective of, I do share the feeling that I would go out of my way to hurt someone who harmed my friends or family. Kim said as much, and James had the good idea to go ahead and tell Kim that she didn't have the right to feel like that.
Effing hell.
Do I advocate widespread violence? No. I'm not about to go off and tell someone they're wrong for wanting revenge on people in such a situation, though. It's just human nature, and James has no right to decide how someone should feel. Of course, James has the wrong on alot of things, and maybe someday he'll excercise a firmer grip on reality. Till then, seems that I just wasted my time trying to defend him to people. I hate wasting my time.
Speaking of wasting time, I'm probably going to turn into some sort of LJ addict from work, since it's really the only "interactive" thing I can get to that I use at home, too. No IRC or anything else for me, since the systems manager won't let anyone put anything on the local systems. Bollocks, I say!
Aunt Irene's actually still alive, too. Mom would have called me by now if something had happened to her. It's a bit strange, because I find myself almost hoping she'll pass on any second. She's in pain, she's been operated on for weeks, and it's time to go. I have a personal opinion (one that I probably picked up from my mother, but oh well) that people shouldn't be forced to hang on to life when it's pretty damned obvious it's time to let it go. When you've lived 99 years, seen your whole family grow and mature, buried family and friends countless times, and had a full life... you've had your run. It's not a matter of "I don't want to remember her like this" or anything. It's a matter of suffering, which is what's happening now, and it pisses me off beyond belief. Her immediate family hacked her open to see what was wrong, which only worsened her condition, and now she's barely aware of where she is, and all good and drugged. Why do people do that? That's not life. It's a very superficial gesture. I don't blame her family, and I'm not really mad at them. When your loved ones are passing away I guess it's just natural to try to keep them around... I'm just angry at what's happened, I spose.
Only thing worse than big anger is not being able to define it. Arrr.
Anyway, I should be working, or checking my mail, or making fun of the people in the room or something.
Anjin-san off.
