My former job...I walked into the bathroom one time and all of my female coworkers were literally standing there comparing their naval piercings. They were all, "Let's see yours!" and I was all o_______O
PIERCINGS! I'm too afraid to get em *shame* but you look soooo cool! Your weekend sounds SO JAM PACKED! I want weekends like that!!!!!! Super cool! Can I come visit?!
P.S- To Mina (Up there) I don't want or have a navel piercing either =D
i was too, until one day it just happened. well, i had to psyche myself up for it for weeks, but it happened! YOU MAY. and when you come, we shall get you pierced. =D
I will visit as soon as this stupid approximately 1,000 miles of country gets out of my way. Stupid... 46 or so other states. MA needs to be closer to CA.
I don't think you have to "ignore" any prejudices, if you don't want to. Racist/sexist/whatever comments would likely affect any of us, and personally, I think that's okay. Allowing yourself to feel hurt by something doesn't make you over-sensitive or a weaker person. I don't know...because at the same time, I'm like you and I long to just let shit like this go. We have more important stuff to do than get caught up in other people's hatred/ignorance, yes? But yeah...it's hard to ignore.
YAY PIERCING. It looks nice on you! And as for your class, letting it go is the best thing. I mean, you can't dwell on those students who are assholes, focus on the girls who are there to listen about whatever you're talking about that day. But I am sure you can get over it. ^^
And the whole angry black woman. I'm like that too, I just take this to close to heart, but I tell myself, "They can kiss my black ass" lol. I'm so contradictory aren't I?
And YAY TO OUR SONG! I heard it in the car with my mom again and started giggling. My mom looked at me weird
=D thank you! i forgot to mention; people aren't really noticing that i have it. apparently it looks like it belongs there. >.> and yea, it just sucks. =D {loves back}
What kind of flavored popcorn? Love the piercings. Racial bias is not something that should be ignored because if you pretend that it is okay, if you just let things go, that like saying that it is okay. IMO it is all about how you respond- I've never had anyone call me a nigger to my face, so I'm not so sure what I'd say but it wouldn't be something I'd let go. I'm all over the place this morning- ignore me if I make no sense.
hot cheese! sooo good. it's not like saying it's ok, to me. the subtle shit i let slide, because i'm sick of bringing things up and no one knowing/caring what i'm so upset about. the blatant stuff, maybe misinformed stuff, stereotypes and things like that i will usually fight. but as for the nigger bitch thing, i was afraid. there was no way i could have said anything.
