So in English class today we talked about the essays that we all read as an assignment and we ended up having some very interesting topics come up.
We first read "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady. That led us into the topic of male and female roles in a relationship/marriage. Apparently, back in the 70's or so, it was the woman's responsibility to be in charge of the birth control. Well you know what I say men? F%#! you. Go put a freaking condom on, because that is a hell of a lot easier than taking a pill at the same time every day. I mean seriously, why? She also talks about how women are the ones who bend to the desires of the man and do all the cleaning, planning of appointments, and cook. Raymond, you're going to have to help with all three of those because hell knows that I'm not doing all three alone. I hate vacuuming, you're going to have to help with the cooking and the dishes every now and then, and I forget just as much (if not more) than you do, so you have to help with schedule planning :3
Another thing that we went over in class was dating and who pays. Why is it that guys have to pay for the girls, and it's always the guys who take the girls out? It's never, "Oh, she's taking him out tonight", it's always "He's taking her to a movie" or something of that sort. All I ask is why?
Also, why is it that men propose to women? Not that I mind (hell, I LIKE it that way) but I'm asking what's wrong with girls proposing? And did you know that the wife's family is supposed to pay for the wedding? Do you know why? Because after she is given away by her father (again, men controlling women), she's to be taken care of by the husband for the rest of her life, or as long as he would want to keep her. Isn't that horrible? That the wife's family has to pay because she is being treated as a burden to her husband. Tsktsk. At least times have changed...
Or have they?
Still in relationships everywhere, women are still the ones who are expected to do cleaning and cooking and all those other household chores.
Lol I sound super feminist in this :P

So I recently bought a new phone because my old one was tweaking out on me and I was getting seriously annoyed.
Anyways, a few nights ago, my friends and I were walking back from an ice cream place that we like.
I was txting Raymond and walking at the same time (I'm going to trip one day).
We passed by a man and a woman walking towards us, and as we passed, the man said to me, "Jeeze, get off your fucking phone!"
We kept walking and laughed it off. Although I was laughing, another part of me wanted to go back and beat the crap out of the guy with my phone ^_^
It didn't help that my friends didn't support me, but agreed that I txt too much as well :/
a) Guy, you don't know me, so don't comment on a one time meeting with me. I'm in a long distance relationship and I'm the kind of person who likes to stay connected with my significant other. That's the way I am so F off. Also, it's not like I was going to run into you or anything. I saw you and moved out of your way. You had no reason to snap at me, because I was being aware of my surroundings and wasn't bothering you. I could understand you saying that if I had been about to run into you, but I didn't, so all I can conclude about you is that you're an ass hole :/
b) friends, become freaking supportive please? I mean seriously, I know I txt a lot, but you guys know why I txt. I thought I could at least expect a little support from you guys, but I guess that was too much to ask of you, huh?
c) I miss Le T :( At least they would have supported me. Heck, I bet a few of the members would have freaking confronted the guy! Sigh. I still want to kind of beat the crap out of him...
Oh well. That was my story/vent/randomness :P

So, I haven't posted in a while. Nothing of any real interest...
For some odd reason, I was really depressed this afternoon.
Maybe because I finally admitted what my last relationship did to me =/
But I got a hug from him, so it was all good in the end ^^
Except that I am happily taken =]
Now I jsut have to get him to talk to me morein person ;P
I always seem to fall for the shy guys =/
But he's nice ^^

Express yourself darn it!
Be a risk taker!
Don't think I'll ever be able to do it.
Be a risk taker!
I think I've given up on hope for the moment.
It just makes life that much more painful.
And also, I have no chance.
It is me after all
