chicating

From two weeks ago--
. Have you ever been to summer camp?
Yeah, but my crip camp wasn't like in the doc.(That movie still did bring back memories, though.) Didn't really love camp, but maybe I just expected too much. Like...I don't know, finding My People or entering some world where I'd be hot. I found out I'm bad at adaptive sports, too.

2. Have you ever made a s'more? No, you know, I haven't. Although I've bought candy that's like...an homage and liked it but I've never had a real one.

3. Have you ever slept under the stars (no tent/tarp)?the one thing about camping I wish I could do!

4. Have you ever had a member of the opposite sex sleep over at your house?Yeah, but not since college.

5. What type of bed do you have (queen, twin, bunk, etc.)? I have a brand-new full mattress.

feels kind of stupid...whose idea was that?
we're still working on the new TV thing.

over this last week or so(when your body doesn't need much reason to act weird, it can be hard to tell.)
Doing a lot better now, anyway...makes what I've been up to look a little better, even to my own skeptical eyes.
Could have been a lot worse, but my concentration was literally a gut feeling for a few days.

would be easier to take if there was some specific thing Out There for me to chase.
Still sort of tired of being virtually alive.

You're holding a dinner party and can invite three famous people from the past or present; who would they be?
Kurt Cobain, Richard Belzer, and disability activist Judy Heumann(At least today. Another day, different answer.) Maybe Bobby Kennedy so he can call up and yell at his son the way he so richly deserves.I think I might enjoy hearing "What the fuck is wrong with you?" in that accent, though he'd probably also be sad that he wasn't there and all that.

2. You have the opportunity to question someone about something you've always wanted to know and receive a truthful answer; what would your question be? I would ask God or some other supreme being whether there is a larger destiny fulfilled in the whole crip thing or whether it's an accident, like getting the too-brown crouton or some shit like that. I'm not sure which I'd be rooting for....being part of Meaning, especially with some direction, would be nice, but knowing "Mistakes were made," might actually relieve some pressure that I've had for...most of my life, actually.

3. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? Am I ungrateful if I say "most of it." Because there are nice parts, I swear, but I still kind of think "most of it" anyway. I hate that I live here, I hate that I have to keep fighting about poor-people shit.I hate the second-adolescent space I'm kind of stuck in, like, if you *remember* the album "Parents Just Don't Understand" that probably shouldn't be in your weekly thought process anymore unless you're the mom who doesn't get it. right? Bleagh.

4. If you could save other people's lives by completing an act that would lead to your own death, would you do it?
God, yes, please. Sign me up. That might actually be part of the draw, perhaps.
5. Would you commit murder if you knew that you could get away with it?
I know that people who think they know me would probably say I'd say "No. Because it's wrong." People who really know me know I have a Wish List, so, yeah. "If I'm at your door, you know why I'm there."

This is from what would be my novel, "Wedded Twist"...I'm not sure I believe it will be finished and published anymore because I've been thinking "ooh, my first novel" about some little nonsense FOREVER, but maybe.

oday's questions were brought to you by [livejournal.com profile] mmia.

1. How are you stereotypically female?
I'm emotional, like bright colors,am creative. I keep a journal.Diagnostically bad at math. kind of dislike sports.

2. How are you stereotypically male? I curse a lot, sometimes hide my feelings with a joke, and sometimes laugh at people. Not a great dresser, but I'm learning how I look and feel best.(not likely to pick a style that's painful or going to put me out.) I like reading and writing about crime and mob bosses, etc.

3. What parts of you do you consider unclassifiable as either gender?Because I don't live in a Rock Hudson movie, I don't really believe that there's a female brain or heart.

4. Do you think you are primarily male, female, or neither in characteristics?Definitely female.

5. If you could be born as any gender, knowing the gender prejudices as they are now, which would you choose to be? While I don't need to do this to feel whole or anything like that, but if you could switch back and forth easily or with magic, I think I could learn a lot from being a guy for, say, a year, but I'm fine about being a woman, if not really thinking I get the most benefits in living it.(would really like to do something about this...not sure how)

1. I hate that ad SO GODDAMN much. But thanks for the reminders of important things:

a. That suddenly becoming conventionally attractive and symnetrical wouldn't suddenly fix all the demons in my head.(Yes, Mom, I know I'm beautiful for about five minutes a year, after great effort and fiddling. Big whoop...I'm not a troll, but neither is my best day what I really look like, and they don't get me anything but photos I can't live up to, anyway.)

2. we can't count on women to always change things for the better, much less bring some kind of compassionate wellspring, etc. This pisses me off. part of me would love to make up for everything I've missed by being some kind of giant separatist.But I can't, because of bitches like you, Kristi Noem.

3.Based on even a cursory understanding of the US's role in Latin America(albeit undertaken while learning a second language, she noted modestly) we owe them, not the other way around. (Also, I love cherries so much that if I were Madam President, all cherry pickers would have instant protected status. their work is vital.
4. No healthy society sucks up to its president that much. Also, stop wasting our money.

5. Yes, threats make living here seem totally appealing.
6. You killed a puppy and bragged about it to seem like a bad ass that Makes The Tough Choices, you crazy ghoul.
7. The Indians won't let you on the reservations in SD.(I wish Indians had done that more. Not sure where I fit in that world, either, but it might be better than this one, anyway.)
