whitereflection"Struggle against extremism"...?
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.
Criminy. Just when a person thinks an administration can't get any more stupid. And hm, is it done to try and make us look not so militaristic and bullying? Because it doesn't work. But what it does do is open up a potential can of worms--I mean, terror, terrorism, that's all fairly well-defined, we know what that is. But extremism? Hm, amazing how that's vague could cover so many things, even simply points of view and belief opposing to yours. And what happens if the 'struggle against extremism' is led by those whom are extremist themselves?
Anyway. Crystal's being weird again this am. She's licking up the gooshy food ok, but she absolutely would not eat the pill pocket treats--and she loves those normally. That's always a sign something's funky, as it was several days ago. I mean, she licked them, but eventually I had to get James to toss them down her throat (because I am as useless at pilling a cat as I, say, am at parallel parking or doing anything worthwhile with my life). So I guess I'll see what she does tonight. I mean, we can keep pilling her the hard way, and she is getting food. But this keeps up, I'm harrassing the vet about that damned dental work again.
In a very "leave me alone I don't want to be responsible for *anything*" mood. Worrying about all the crap that I can't fix and all the unfair shzt happening to others that I can't seem to prevent or correct is making my stomach hurt. I dunno.
Guess I'd better get to. Need a lot of new books cataloging to get done today, since I've been too distracted too often this month. My stats suck.
Just one last thought... Ever have a friend who is just literally a perfect human being, who is nice to and well-thinking of everyone, and who always does as she should, whether it be at work or anywhere else? Ever wish they'd just have a few character flaws so you didn't feel so awful and crappy compared to them? Because you know, it's easier to drag someone down to your level than pull yourself up to theirs. Or something. Though I do wish she'd lighten up on herself some...not only because she *is* decent and she's not acknowledging that--but also because if she's so perfect but she thinks she's so awful and is always driving herself harder...what does that make someone like me? And there it is--again, what sort of a person am I, that I'd rather drag her down than have her example always illustrating just how flawed I am? What sort of person am I if, as a coworker as well as friend, if I wish they'd slack too, rather than work harder to be like them?
Anyway.

Date: 2005-08-03 03:37 pm (UTC)Wow. You really are a pathetic waste of natural resources. Please try your best to breathe the air to the north of you or something, because frankly I'm disgusted at the thought that you might be sharing air with me and Kea. The very notion that someone should stop striving to be a good and productive person so they won't make your sorry ass look bad is leaving me speechless.
I used to think that you insisted on remaining miserable because you were scared. That's a valid reason I can understand if not respect. Now it's pretty clear that you just enjoy wallowing in your little mudpit so it's handy to sling as needed. No strike that, not even pigs loll around in their own shit.

Date: 2005-08-03 06:51 pm (UTC)Actually, at this point you're right. Although I will take this sweet little moment in time to say that you defriended me first. ^_^
I don't know who the hell is sending you links, but frankly if they have something to say about it, I'd really like it if they talked about it with me, and not use it for having little bitchfests about with anyone else.
LOL! You mean you want them to talk to you about the problems they have with you and not bitch about you to other, uninvolved people like you do, Diane? With you as such a shining example, it's little wonder. Hypocrisy's a gift that just keeps on giving, sweetcheeks.

Right, and since you posted it in a public forum instead of privately, then I assume you were offering it up for public scrutiny and comment and were prepared for such. If you don't want the truth, don't yank your pants down and wave your bare cheeks around asking for it to smack your ass. ^_^
