VENTILATION STATION Be it three, six or a billion points of light, this is your stop→[More:] and my big 360--
--post, that is.
Because i got lots to vent, and i don't want to spray it when i say it.
i claim this space in the name of France venting. Shed it, don't spread it.
NOW YOU KNOW WHERE TO STICK IT.

1. Yesterday was a quiet kind of ugly. i mean, i know i blew my good hair day the day before (don't you hate that?), but i know i didn't look weird enough to justify all the staring.

2. Willful ignorance is about to make me consider knife crime, to my own head. Ya know how hard it is to answer questions and explain things to people without making them immediately think you are looking down on them for being stupid, tune out and get upset? Do you know how resentful and defensive people are about people who aren't "just like them?" It goes from "not good enough" to "you think you're better than me?" in a matter of seconds, for the obvious reasons. Sensei would be so proud at how i can balance on a field of fine porcelain teacups. Now if only i had a big stick to work it out, practice non fatal disarmament and circling the rim OF A TEACUP, NOT YOUR AWAITING SMOKE HOLE, SUNSHINE, OR YOUR SKIDMARKED BOWL, YOU LIMITLESS POOPSHOOT.

3. Being a minority means being different from the majority of people around you, and by all definitions, i am that one. i've always been that one.
I'M USE TO IT. HASN'T SHUT ME UP YET.

4. LEARN HOW TO READ.
No, really. Reading is fundamental. And sometimes just da mental, but the fun is in knowing the difference. Or else you think everyone knows something you don't, which they do, because you WON'T READ.

5. Practical research today to make order if the flies. Or files. Probably both. It's very "Oh, Lord" of the files out here in the sticks. Good thing i had the eye surgery. STOP CALLING YOURSELF A JOURNALIST BECAUSE YOU COVERED A LOCAL BAKE SALE.

6. i have to accept the facts: i need a new bra already. Goddammit. The weight of the world never accounts for variations in cup size. The ups and downs of life don't factor in good foundation garments. i wonder if i can shrink enough to fit into older smaller bras enough to wait it out without the dreaded fourboobing or uniboobery.

i might feel a little better.
