Tumblr feels like shouting into the void.

Do you remember where I was?

I feel lost this morning. This novel is eating my soul with the fact that it’s not done.

Morning Blahs.

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:16:27 -0500

I wish I had something salient to put here, but I’ve abandoned all my web browsers in favour of getting a novel written. I wish I were angsting about it, honestly. It would be easier. But, I’m not. I feel nothing about it at all.

The morning WTF.

Japan doesn’t have a problem with women. You can eat their breasts now.

Teacher loses job for wizardry.

And just every fucking thing in here. Being a woman is a prison.

I’m really uninspired today.

The Ferrett rides again. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?:

I think it would be useful to have a gang of roving Ethiopians come over whenever I clean out my fridge, their sun-browned arms stick thin but rigid with rage, and watch me as I removed these extraneous food bits. I would hear the rumble of their bloated bellies as I apologized for America and the rest of the world, glaring at me as I took the food that they would have killed for a continent over and just let it sit until it turned into a bacterial slurry.

Creationists are holding tours of a history museum in order to educate children on the ‘real’ history. Like how T-Rex ate vegetables because there was no death until The Fall. There’s so much crazy out there.

“Parenting has so many myths. :p It is basically a really hard job you undertake with no guarantees, huge investments, uncertain materials, and no pension. You can be an amazing parent with great genes and still end up with someone you have to sign over to an institution or hospital, because they’re psychotic, because they’re a danger to themselves, because they’re too much for you to take care of. You can see them go to prison, you can watch them disappear into drugs. And that’s assuming you’re lucky enough for your kid to survive childhood.

I’ve seen it happen to people: to the parents of my friends, to the parents of children I worked with, and to my peers. There’s nothing, not even living yourself, over which you have less control. It is a world of expenses, insufficiencies, rotavirus and influenza, anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion. I think it is nothing a sane person would do, so all parents are a little crazy. I don’t like being a parent, but I sure do like my kid. Most of the time.”
