taratemimaBecause there are people who think that surveying unattached, unmarried gay men and comparing them to married m/f couples will tell you the future of same-sex marriage. So, I guess let only the lesbians marry? They have very few partners in their lifetime, and long relationships. Oh, right, people don't listen to logic. If you point out how you could punch through their arguments like tissue paper, you get accused of being 'intolerant.' I'm sorry, but when your lack of reason affects the lives of others, then I get upset. 'Tolerance' doesn't mean accepting every dumb idea running down the pike.
Because I thought I had enough money for a cab, but I didn't. I got a lecture about how cab prices are going up. Listen, fucker, I took a cab because it was cold and there is a rash of robberies near the train station. Don't tell me that a 3 minute cab ride that costed 2 dollars is suddenly 5 because of gas. Sure.
Because I cannot write that stupid essay for the girl geek anthology. I thought I would write about writing a comic book. However, there were no obstacles, no sexist opposition. If there were few women writing comic books, I didn't know or care. The comic format seemed to be the best fit for the story. Sure, I am focusing on realistic breast sizes, a m/m/f relationship, and weird-ass mysticism, but is that really explaining the world of girls who like 'geeky' things?
Because men can be enthusastic amateurs about science and math, without them having to wave their degrees in SCIENCE to justify interest in it. When some schmuck wrote that 'not one woman' can 'hack the physics' and therefore cannot understand or write hard SF, the comments were all focused on women they knew who could 'hack the physics.' I have no penis, er, science degree to wave around. In contrast to all the learned women, I got Cs and Ds in math and science. So, since I cannot justify my interest in new discoveries, and neat stuff, I feel like I must be happy to be an illogical fluffhead. Everyone knows that girls go 'eeeeeewwwwww' at mobius strips and alternate universes. Just ask people with pseudo-Latin pseudonyms. However, if I wrote an essay on that for the girl geek anthology, with a dollop of wishing I knew why I failed, fears of spending money on science courses and failing again, and frustration over people with Asperger's getting all this but me (with my distraction and lack of attention to important details from the ADD) not getting it. And whining would really not be good for an essay.
Someone once said writing a textbook is a good way to learn about the subject. Maybe I can write a textbook for people like me. However, that would mean it would never be approved by any school board.
Because having a good weekend with a nice party and shopping at a fair for local punkish craft makers was followed by feeling tired/dizzy/feverish. At least I got stuff done while staying home.
Because a local software company is hiring, and despite being interested in testing out bugs, since I have no 'working knowledge of QA practices' (and got Cs in my programming classes), I am discouraged from applying.
