Caught

I am caught in between a rock and a hard place with one person in particular in my life. I treated them like shit for a few years and am now too scared to even contradict them in a misinterpretation of something I've said. So of course, I get treated like I'm too juvenile to make any decisions by myself.

Day four *Warning, explicit content in links*

Not doing much today. I totally slept until midday!

Then I watched some junk midday movie with Brooke Shields, produced by Barbra Streisand, about Florida Family Law and the adoption of babies by homosexuals. Basically, it was designed as a tearjerker, but... with a point!

It ties in nicely with Qand A the other night. They discussed Marriage Equality, and Kristina Keneally said that she was in support of marriage equality. Then my friend posted an article about Rick Santorum and his comments about that if we allow homosexuals to marry, then we will allow bigamy, sodomy (uh, of course, idiot) and all other kinds of paraphilia. Some paraphilia are just wrong. Toe sucking? ewww...

But what's wrong with a little open bigamy? If all three (or more) of the people involved in that relationship don't mind, I don't see what's so wrong with it. I would be way too jealous of a person to be one of the many, but I could totally be the one in the middle  (I mean, the single sex to the multiple partners of the opposite sex!)

Marriage equality must come. It must. We are denying the human rights of those involved. As one commentor said on QandA - why do we deny the right of children with gay parents the right to have married parents?

But, let me sum it up with a cartoon.

It is time.

*Editted* - Tasmania voted in favour of marriage equality today. Now for the rest of the country to come in line!

Zombies! Brains!

Eat brains! Eat brains!

How freaking cool!!!!

I spent over an hour with my BIL looking at nerdapproved.com giggling and loving stuff. My sister thought we were wierd. Her exact words, "Sometimes I think I'm a geek and then you two sit watching that and giggling".

But hey, nerd/geek - I know there's a difference and I'm much more geek than nerd - but that's who I am!!!

Assignments

I totally have an assignment due on Friday. I haven't started, or even the readings! And what I have done, I left in W while I am in Brisbane.

So, I knew that this was going to happen. I was really engaged in the past two semesters and got a 6 and 7. *wow* Then I followed up 'Reading in and out of the classroom' with 'Teaching reading'. Total boredom. Overload I think. I really should have done something else and come back to this subject next year. :(

Ah, hindsight, you are a bitch. Why can we not have the benefit of your wisdom before we make decisions?

I have so much to do this week and I believe I'm going to apply for an extension. They seem to be much easier-going on post-grad students, so hope all will be OK. Otherwise, I'm-a gonna screw my GPA up!

Smells

They are very welcome, like baby smell or popcorn. Or, they can be unwanted. Like any kind of fish. Urgh, gag me.

Smells are also the things that can transport us back in time.

I walked into the BF's  house today, and I was back in the next door neighbours house, with a million (ok, exaggeration) cats which had peed all over the house.

Gross.

So not into stale cat urine. And it was inside the couch, so I smell of it now and will need to launder my clothes.

Blergh.

Gag.

Yuck.

First day of holidays

I spent today with S and CJ. He's changed so much and is a little person now! 10 weeks since the last time I saw him. He didn't recognise me, but only took 10 minutes or so to warm up and give me cuddles and kisses. Such a energy and soul renewer.

Little dancer jiving to the music. Every single bit of music in the shopping centre was danced to.

35 minutes of Just Dance dancing complete!

September October

We have holidays! Yay! Excellent. I totally need a break.

I know people who aren't or don't know teachers have their own opinions. Keep them to yourselves! It's like I'm not allowed to comment on peoples' mothering skills. (Except for on here, but it's my blog and I'll say it if I want to. If you don't like, you can read someone else!) I look after your child 6 hours per day and I earn these breaks. If you looked after up to 200 kids over a week for ten weeks, making sure their emotional, educational and health needs were met, you'd need a break every now and then too!

OK.

So, I'm back home for a fortnight and already stir crazy. Oh well... I'll pay my debt off and then I can go away for holidays! Not in a financial position for that atm.

I am trying to meet new bubs born in the last ten weeks (who all have normal names) but all the mums have demands that I am frustrated by and, because I don't understand I guess, don't particularly want to go out of my way to meet. I'm sure your little one is not going to die because you come out for three hours with him/her. But then again, I'm a non-procreator and as such have no rights to opinions on anything. I'm not really human am I?
