10:52 am - Writer's Block: Black Friday Steals & Deals
The only thing I'll be finding in stores Friday is customers! I'll be working on that crazy day, bright and early at 6am! So, if you're at your Huntsville (AL) Michaels, I'll be there too! hahaha.
I'd much rather be working than shopping anyway, I can't stand crowds of people!

12:10 pm - Writer's Block: Ohhh, baby
I don't think that I could conceive for a friend, it would be awkward. If my sister couldn't get pregnant and wanted more children, I would definitely surrogate for her though. If there were some random gay men out there who needed a surrogate, I'd do that too. I wouldn't want to be involved in the childs life most likely because I expect whomever my sperm donor is to have zero paternal rights to the child. I wouldn't want a family to always wonder that I was going to take their kid from them. I hope that there are some good hearted people out there who will indeed give me sperm without strings attached when I'm ready again. I have a feeling we'll end up adopting or going to a (pricey!) sperm bank though because our luck with donors we've happened across hasn't been so successful. If Cole wanted to donate some eggs to someone, I'd let him, but I doubt he'll want to do that. The hormone replacement has surpressed ovulation so he doesn't have any of that anymore (unless he goes off the testosterone). I don't forsee him ever having any random children out there somewhere in the world.
I would also donate my eggs for money but I'm not the correct weight/body type that they accept. sad because I could use that money! lol

10:55 pm - Writer's Block: Would you want a do-over?
I would GLADLY start this year over. If I could start it over, I'd have Cole move to Minnesota and I'd have continued school there. As long as I could find other employment, which shouldn't have been a problem, things would've been great for us. (minus the snow and cold) I like to think that if I hadn't started this moving frenzy this year I would still be settled and happy, with friends. This has been a really intense year for me with one thing after another falling apart and then trying to put it back together. If I was in Minnesota and still in college there, I would have insurance and I wouldn't have all the medical bills that I have now. I'm happy that Cole and I are living together and aren't doing the long distance thing anymore. I do have second thoughts about whether I should've been the one to move rather than him coming to me. At the time, all the signs said I should move so I went with that. Eh, we live and we learn right?
If I started this day over, I'd have gotten up early so that the dog didn't go pee on the floor. I wasn't impressed with that. Also, I'd have made my cramps go away so that I felt like going to class today. I didn't do anything great today because I started the day in a funky mood.

11:10 am - Writer's Block: My Dream Job
My dream job is to work with homeless people or immigrants. I really want to help people get into quality housing and get situated. I am really into advocacy and both of these populations are seriously under-represented by the criminal justice people and social work persons. I added CJ as my minor just so that I can learn more about the law and be able to help people when they need it. Too many people are ignorant of the law and how it can help them when they are in a sore spot. I seriously hope that I can fall into this field whenever I get finished with college.
I plan to move to South Korea and help the English speaking immigrants over there. Consulates always need people to help people get set up in a new place. I can so do that!

12:11 am - Writer's Block: My Family's Future
I want for my parents and stepparents to actually be able to retire before they work themselves to death. It seems simple but being from a lower middle class family... it doesn't always work that way. My mom works herself to death, as does my stepdad, just to pay their rent and necessities. They don't work for companies that offer them retirement or things like that. I hope that I can get a good paying job and be able to provide for my mom when she is older and can't work. I want my sister to actually use her degree and become a high school teacher and I want her kids to grow up knowing that there is life outside of the projects that they currently live in. I want my brothers to be good men and do what makes them happiest, whatever that may be. I want to finish school and settle down with my partner and possibly have some children.
I want my entire family to grow closer as we get older, rather than drifting apart. I want more people to open their eyes to other peoples differences and stop seeing road blocks when people are different from them. My family has so many barriers in communication simply because they don't want to accept one another because their situation/circumstances are different. It's family, gotta love them all!!

05:29 pm - Cut.. Cut
Can you please delete me from your friends list if you notice that the friends arrow is not pointing back at you? If I do not have you as a friend, then I would appreciate being removed from your list. I LJ messaged every person that needs to unfriend me but in case you missed the memo, please delete me now. I have more friends that are not mutual friends than I do have mutual and I would like to not have so many lonely blue arrows on my friends list.
THANKS for UNDERSTANDING!

The best compliments that I have received have been things such as:
You are amazing
I like how you think
Your laughter is like angels singing
but.. it's the context of the compliment that makes it mean so much to me

10:57 am - dreams!
I've been dreaming about the craziest things.. so I'm gonna put it out there so you can tell me your thoughts.
When I went to sleep Monday night I dreamed about vampires. This is probably because of what I was reading all last week. I woke up and was smiling and Cole asked what was wrong and I laughed at him and said nothing. Then I went back to sleep. When I woke up for the day, I was thinking that I was seeing for the first time. I felt a little disoriented but I had the distinct feeling that I was alive, as if I'd not been before. I vaguely remembered the laughing thing and when Cole woke up he reminded me of it. I think when I was laughing, it was because I thought I was dead and realized I was alive and I was happy. I'm not sure but it was strange nonetheless.
I took a nap yesterday and I dreamed that two very strong men kidnapped me and took me to this dark room behind a pool hall. There was another girl there, also captive, and she was trying to tell me how to behave so I wouldn't get in trouble. One guy left and the other stayed and he was hitting me and verbally abusive. The girl said this was nothing compared to what the other guy was going to do to me if I didn't behave. She was right. The other, much stronger, guy returned and was throwing me around. Literally, picking me up by my feet and throwing me into the walls and furniture. I was really glad to wake up from it.
This morning I woke up from a dream about coloring. I was shopping with Cole and I wanted to get a particular coloring book but he wouldn't let me. It was on the top shelf so I had to stretch to reach it. Once I'd get one down he'd take it from me and I'd have to start all over. He was wanting to buy pink & beige pillows for our couch (i guess we lived together in dreamland). I took the pillows and used them as a stool to reach the coloring book. But they were all gone then. So I had no coloring book and a pissy boifriend because I ruined is ugly pillows. tada. weird!
thoughts?

05:45 pm - on the Eve of Change
I'm so excited for Barack Obama to be sworn in. When I think about what this symbolizes for the country, I get weepy. It's so amazing to see this happen in my life time. It's one of those things people always said "not in my lifetime" but here it is happening. I'm so excited to not have to see GW Bush's face everywhere. I'm more excited that my children will be born in a time of unity (i hope) and relatively liberal ideas.
In a random thought - I'm sick. For a few days my throat has been hurting and today I can barely swallow and I've got all sorts of congestion and phlegmy grossness. I'm so exhausted too. boo hiss. AND it's snowing today!

Sometimes it's hard because you know so much. Today you are caught between your desire to tell others what they have been missing and your duty to do as you are told. Blowing the whistle may be the morally correct action, but it might also make life harder on the job. Do what you must for survival and recognize that harsh practicality can outweigh even the greatest ideals.
* * *
If I've learned anything at this job it is that you just shut up and do it... I'm not always good at the shutting up part. We're in a financial crisis right now and there's nothing anyone can do to make any of it better.. you just go with it. it surely doesn't make it better but it's one way to get through the day. bla.
Today I start the new store.

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance, people!
Take some time today to think about the people who've been hurt because of anti-trans thinking.
This is ridiculous and it HAS to STOP
