I didn’t DO anything :-/
Do you ever go through your footprints and see twenty-thirty hits for Spain, Argentina, Germany…?
Wow, I’m way more popular in foreign countries than in my own. lol I hope that I am being translated properly.
I haven’t had too much time lately to get on and write, and tonight will be a short entry. Maybe I’ll post something longer tomorrow when I’m not physically and emotionally burnt out.
Maybe it’s just the time of year and being stressed from work… then again, my mood is cyclic and depends very much on the moods of people around me. So seasonal stresses aside, home life leaves a lot to be desired. Every few months I have the urge to move out. I even look through the newspaper classifieds upon occasion, though not seriously. I don’t really have the money to move out.
Whoever said men don’t have a monthly cycle never met my mother’s boyfriend. He gets into these moods where he’s paranoid and argumentative, and honestly the ignorance he spouts about race or religion or his cockamamie ideas about aliens turns my stomach. Ignorance is my pet peeve. It’s like a high pitched whine when I have a migraine or a ragged fingernail catching on fabric. It makes every nerve in my body tense up. And then he accuses me of having PMS because I don’t want to argue with him. He’s lucky I don’t get PMS like my sister!
I try to be as unobtrusive as possible, but he just digs away at me until I snap and then my mom whines at me for arguing when I didn’t DO anything. Tonight I had to leave the dinner table because he wouldn’t shut up and when he finally did stop talking, he felt a need to let out this much-abused moan before starting to eat. So I went and ate in my room. I don’t feel that I should have to babysit his ego every time he opens his mouth.
He uses every “debate” as a way to dominate, and if I don’t agree with the nonsense he’s spouting, he gets all sulky and makes sexist or generally ignorant remarks. I’m sorry, but just because I don’t agree with him, doesn’t mean I have PMS. It means I have a brain and can think for myself. All he ever wants to do is bludgeon me with his ignorance. My mom goes along with anything without argument so as to not rock the boat, but he’s not my boyfriend and I shouldn’t have to agree with his stupidity just to appease him. Yes, I live under “his roof,” but I pay rent and my part of the roof leaks. How’s about he play the good landlord and fix it without telling me a meteor is going to destroy the earth in 2012 so global warming and idiot politicians are irrelevant.
Gerrrrrahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By his own argument, maybe I should stop paying rent. After all, I’ve only got about four years left to live, right? I was all worked up as a teenager thinking Nostradamus had called it, but we’re still here. I am not going to fall for the same paranoia twice. I’m ready if I survive the world getting slammed by a meteor in 4+ years (thanks to Nostradamus), and I’m ready if it doesn’t. Just because it might happen, doesn’t mean that it will, so for the sake of future generations as yet unborn, I am going to continue to worry about global warming and corrupt politicians until something is done about them… maybe taping up the mouths of the politicians and my mother’s boyfriend would stop the release of hot air….
Sigh…
So… that’s my rant. Thanks for reading. I promise I’ll try to post more content tomorrow or Friday.

Man, I feel for you having to live with that guy. What do global warming and politicians have to do with a leaky roof? I think his “roof” is a little leaky.
Boys totally have some kind of cycles. All humans have different cycles of their bodies – women just seem to have an extra. It’s really scary when the downward parts of all the cycles happen at the same time. Crashing is no fun.
Thanks so much for your comments on my paper. I was reading a book last night that talked more about Medieval mysticism in general, and Shekinah certainly came up. Jewish Medieval mysticism is something I’ll definitely want to read about, though perhaps not for this paper. But you’re right about the Inquisition thing too, I think. I also read last night that Porete, a beguine (female) mystic with some of the same beliefs as Eckhart, was killed by the Inquisition in 1310. I’ll have to go back and check the dates, but I’m wondering if SHE was the link between beguine mysticism and Eckhart deciding to swing that way. Surely something’s been written on it if it’s true… if not, though, I may have a bigger case than I thought. THANKS!
he sounds like an ass. i probably wouldn’t be able to be very civil to him. i have a low tolerance for stupidity.
You have my deepest sympathies. Your mom’s boyfriend sounds JUST LIKE my ex. GRR.
I am sure you translate well in ANY language.
