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!!

09:34 pm - Writer's Block: Comped
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

04:30 pm - Writer's Block: Who's in your neighborhood
Across the hall from me lives a woman and her young baby. I think the woman is in her late twenties and Hispanic. Her son is so cute and I never hear him cry. A few doors down there is a door with a sign on it with a picture of what looks like Jesus but might be some other religious figure and some scripture written below it. It's not in a language I know so I have no clue what it says but I always look at it on my way to the laundry room. I suppose I could write it down and try to get it translated online.
Below us are several singles and little families. I don't see much of anyone except for the male nurse because he always says hello to me. His apartment smells like food all the time.
When we go out side we see the guy from garage 26 a lot. Mel says he masterbates in his car, she has witnessed this. I have only saw him chilling outside scaring the crap out of me because I never see him sitting there parked beside me until it's too late. what does he do outside all the time?
Recently someone told me that I lived in the ghetto because my complex isn't white only. I live only 2 exits from downtown Saint Paul. The neighborhhood is quiet and nice and Maplewood is known for being a little 'uppity'. But, my apartment complex has such a variety of people, Hispanic, Somalian, white, Afrikan, etc and we are okay with that. In Michigan, I lived in a complex that was mostly white and after I moved out I found out they were sued for discrimination. No one there ever said anything about it being all white, it just was. I would rather get to know people who are different and not keep myself in a little hole of 'whiteness'. Slowly I talk to the neighbors when we are at the pool together. I don't want to be one of those people who is afraid of the people who are different.
Reading this book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is really intense with racial segregation against Hmong. There are are so many Hmong here and people can act like they took over their space or whatever. It's really sad. I wish everyone could open their eyes and see everything that is happening around us.
