NO! Don't Confiscate it, Daddy!shitbagxsueJanuary 6 2008, 16:36:40 UTC
I feel disappointed when people don't remember me
:( Dude. I am the same way. I don't have as good a memory as you do, but I totally do the same thing! I have odd habits of remembering people.. and then.. I feel like an idiot when they don't remember me.
Don't you remember me? You used to go to my bus stop!?
I don't know why meeting new people is such a big deal for me.. and for other people it's like ..Pshh whut~evr.
I don't know if teachers would remember me. I would probably be remembered as the unusally quiet one.. or.. because i'm so quiet, i'd probably be more easily forgotten.
- - - - -
Factoring polynomials sounds scary!! ;___; That makes me even more nervous because I just totally BOMBED the math section on the practice SAT I took yesterday.
Sigh. I'm such an idiot at remembering math stuff! I even forgot to bring a calculator to the practice SAT. 'Cmon, Suze! Think!!
- - - - -
LOLZ. Anderson Cooper.
OH!! When I googled him (when I typed that comment), I saw a picture of a lady who had his face tattooed on her leg!
ALSO! I found BLACKLIGHT TATTOOS. Friggin' psycho-delic. You can't see them in regualr light, but under black light, they GLOW! :O
before you and Veronica were even born (so crazy to think!).
AHHH! That IS CRAZY TO THINK!! Hah! Oh man.. I need to learn more about the Gulf War. I keep thinking that that war happened back in the times of Babylonia.. Or was that the Persian something..? Gulf..?
- - - - - Awww. I do the same thing, Smadaf.
But it is a relief to see something about it... From some silly insecurity, I always get worried when I write something questionable to someone and get no response..
I actaully have been doing that a lot.. when I tend to write silly responses and then get no reply.
...I was almost freaking out.
I was like... Oh noez. Smadaf is PISSED! :O He is probably sick of me being an idiot and rambling about AC and my stupid Chemistry teacher. Look at Smadaf's icon, SUZE! It was a sad Bill face. Not a happy Bill face. Smadaf probably wanted a more SERIOUS response. You shouldn't talk smack about Mr. Michaels like that! Damn. You're an idiot.
You and Veronica keep me going! YOU GUYS ROCK!!
Nope. You guys will NEVER lose me. Even if we got into the HUGE-EST fight and never spoke again.. I would still stock you guy'z Myspace and/or Livejournal. Because, deep down, I would still love you both.

When I was 23 and went for the interview at the insurance place I ended up working at, they took me around to meet several people after the interview. And then they told me I was hired. I didn't remember any of the names of the people they introduced me to, or where their desks were. But soon I learned. I had a similar problem once in fourth grade, when the teacher asked me to pass out some graded papers, and I didn't know who some of the names belonged to. But, once a name and face do stick in my head, they stick pretty well.
In some classes, I was probably memorable to the teachers. But, then again, so many kids pass through a teacher's life; so I guess it's silly to expect that they'd remember all of them after not seeing them for, say, ten years. Still, Mr. Michaels, after not even one year? Psht.
That tattoo is impressive. I'd never get a tattoo. I always feel like discouraging people from getting tattoos and piercings, even though some of them look so cool.
What I totally forgot to say about Wolf Blitzer the other day was that I have this vague memory that people were saying that, after he was a correspondent in the early '90s, it seemed his career was pretty much over-and now he has all this new success hosting that show. I don't follow him, mind you; but it's just interesting to think of how pundits, and people in general, can be so wrong about predicting the permanence of someone's 'downfall'.

Most of the time, I've called 'the Gulf War' Operation Desert Storm. That's the military name it had, which everyone at the time knew. People also call it the First Gulf War and the Persian Gulf War.
On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein, of Iraq, had his military invade Kuwait, one of the countries nextdoor. I was 10½, and it was five days after we'd moved from Virginia to Ohio. We were still moving in and unpacking. I was on the family-room floor, at the coffee table, watching TV. There was a sci-fi movie that took place in the desert and had fancy, futuristic motorcycles. I was drawing such a motorcycle. And then the TV was playing this news about a man with an unfamiliar name, apparently the dictator of a country I wasn't familiar with, crossing a real desert and invading another country whose name was new to me.
Anyway, the first President Bush had been in office for about a year and a half. People in many countries thought it was pretty despicable of Saddam Hussein to latch suddenly onto this idea that all the land and resources and people of Kuwait really belonged to Iraq, and to try to take over that country, and they thought that something should be done about this. (Part of their motivation probably was that they wanted to maintain good relations with other people (some of them also rather dictatorial) in the region, who opposed Saddam Hussein.)
Six days later, the U.S. sent parts of its own military to nearby Saudi Arabia. This was Operation Desert Shield, a deterrent to keep things from getting worse. Soon, several other countries' militaries arrived in countries around the Persian/Arabian Gulf, for the same purpose.
Individual countries, and groups of countries, including the United Nations, did various things to try to persuade Saddam Hussein to pull out of Kuwait. This went on for months, and he continued to refuse.
On January 17, 1991, the night before my birthday, Pres. Bush was on TV, announcing the beginning of military attacks against Iraqi forces, to drive them out of Kuwait. This is when the name was changed from Desert Shield to Desert Storm.
For the coalition of countries opposing Iraq, the war went fairly well and quickly. Soon, Iraq's military was pushed back into Iraq and surrendered.
Although the war was over in several weeks, and Saddam Hussein was considered the loser, there was still plenty mess. The biggest oil spill in history had occurred, when 400,000,000 gallons were poured into the Persian Gulf; some said Iraq had done it intentionally, as a defensive measure, while Iraq said it was caused by its enemies. Also, when fleeing Kuwait, the Iraqi forces set fire to the fields of oil wells in Kuwait, filling the sky over so much land with thick, black clouds of the smoke of the burning oil; these fires took ages to put out.
The coalition opposing Saddam Hussein stopped short of removing him from power and seeing about a new way of governing that country. That problem brewed for the rest of the '90s, until March 2003, when the second Pres. Bush made his effort, which he called Operation Iraqi Freedom. He succeeded at removing Saddam Hussein from power; but, of course, other aspects of this war have not gone nearly as well.
The first Gulf War came on the heels of a whole bunch of other strife in the Middle East, which had been going on among Christians & Westerners, Jews, and different groups of Muslims, for decades, centuries, and indeed millennia.

Your silly responses-your any responses-never bother me. I never think you're an idiot, and I never mind your writing about anything. I like it all!
The one time I was really disturbed was when you'd smoked pot. I still doubt myself about how I reacted to that. Sometimes, I think I gave you way too hard a time for that. I dono ...
When you are upset/angry/&c. and you write to blow off steam or whatever, I do sometimes feel perplexed about how to respond-and, more important, how to help. And sometimes I worry whether I should just shut up and not say anything, because maybe you want to vent without somebody coming along and shoving more words in your face.
That icon of Bill looking down (it's from when he was eating waffles, which is why I named it "billbreakfast") sometimes represents sadness, I guess. But, more often, it's like "I feel kind of embarrassed about the mistake I just made, or I'm worried that I'm babbling too much; so I'm just going to turn my eyes down and be quiet."
Smadaf probably wanted a more SERIOUS response. I don't think I hope for a specific kind of response. I just like it when you reply if you have something you feel like saying back. :) And, when you're silly ... I always wish I could get back to being silly like that, too.
Anyway, I wasn't bothered the tiniest bit by what you said about Mr. Michaels, Ms. Byron, or Mr. Cooper (hangin' with? bah!).
There might be a barrage of stuff from me at BFFE House today. Things are waiting to pour out.
What I forgot to write in other replies.smadafJanuary 7 2008, 19:09:10 UTC
If I ever don’t reply, the reason is almost certainly that I haven’t yet seen your entry/comment (usually because I haven’t gotten LJ’s email about it) or that I’m just sucking at managing my time. Every day, I want to do so many things. I stay busy while I’m awake; but several things always are neglected, and sometimes it’s communicating as much as I want with my beloved friends. :(
If you ever especially want a reply to a certain something and you’re not getting it, or not getting it fast enough, just tell me, and I’ll hop to it! :)
