I told Steve I’ve had this post in my head for a few days now. I wasn’t sure exactly how it was all going to go, I just knew that title was going to be a line involved.
I was poking around online, and I found myself reading a forum on women being submissive to their husbands as a biblical lifestyle choice.
Ahem. Michelle, I’ll wait while you pick yourself up from the floor. I wasn’t there for any personal interest, you twit. It was like an internet train wreck, I couldn’t help myself. Kinda like those videos of Sarah Palin giving an interview while turkeys get their heads cut off behind her. Now that I think about it, there might be a few more people on the floor with you. I’ll wait while you all get up.
*whistles*
Ok, so I was there reading what the idiots had to say. There was a thread about domestic abuse, and whether being submissive included putting up with it, or something like that. One helpful person said that if a wife had enough faith a Band Of Heavenly Angels™ would fly down from Heaven and stop the fist about to hit her.
Now enter the are you FUCKING kidding me line. :) I spent a good five minutes with no coherent words coming out of my mouth. Just sputters at the thought that someone actually believes that shit. I mean, REALLY? Teh stupidz, someone haz dem. Teaching that to a child should be considered abuse.

Been trying to work a lot on my 34×365 stuff. They aren’t all getting posted as soon as I write them. I’m putting them up here as one a day, just because I think that’s going to be easier for me to keep up with how many I’ve gotten done. However, my apologies for the times when there’s nothing going on here, nothing going on, then all of a sudden a rash of several 34×365 posts in a row. But then again, who the hell am I talking to, here? Show of hands, who’s reading me? Put your hand back down if you have the same last name as I do. That’s what I thought.
Ok, kidding. I know there are a few of you out there. Would be more if I actually posted more often, so there you are.
I was reading the Big Issues Debate group (and by “Debate,” it’s generally meant “arguing and trying to shout over each other”) over on Ravelry earlier today. There was a discussion of the two women kissing at the Mariners game who were asked to cease and desist. Some of the people over there are just … wow. Makes me understand how Bush got his votes. A woman talking about explaining to her kids how homosexuality (a deviant sexual practice) is a result of a fallen world? Holy jeebus chocolate chai covered tap dancing christ on a cracker. Stupid people are a train wreck. Can’t stop looking at them in amazement.

I work with a girl who is pretty sheltered. Home schooled for the ultra religious reason, has five or six brothers and sisters, father’s a preacher, wants to have natural childbirth, doesn’t believe in getting vaccinations, etc etc. She doesn’t seem to have ever developed a filter for what comes out of her mouth simply because it doesn’t occur to her that it isn’t appropriate. She’s outed me to random customers (both religion and sexuality), and told someone once she reminded her of Mrs. Doubtfire without understanding she just said the woman looked like a middle-aged man in drag. Her most recent:
“Nessa, I like your hair. Well, I liked it earlier. It was poofy. Now it’s flat.”
Wow. Thanks.

I just ordered a super sonic breakfast burrito with no onions, jalapeños, or tomatoes. There’s almost no sausage, but plenty of tomatoes and onions. Thanks a bunch, guys.

Yeah. I am so not good at blogging anymore. But here I am, middle of the night and restless thanks to my friend Abilify. Worked until close today. We had the cops there multiple times and an ambulance once. Seems someone had some brass knuckles and someone else’s head got acquainted with them. Boy, do I love the teenagers on Friday and Saturday nights! Speaking of teenagers, one of the teenagers employed by my store got fired today. She posted a bulletin about it on MySpace, saying she got “laid off” because she was a dumbass, and was going to go out and get fucked up. Honestly, do I really even need to comment?
I should be asleep. Maybe this stupid medication will let me sleep sometime soon. If not, I’ll be up making cookies and knitting and cleaning house and making artist trading cards and altered art and and and…
