Doctor Rafa Sips, Swallows, Repeats

I'm tired.

Might start an RP with Chalki and Steph. That would be cool. I'm sort of excited about it. (minus sort of).

Reading the last book of Emile. It's hard for me to esteem Rousseau when he so insults me. I'm wondering if I'll regret my paper topic; it might just wear me out, like reading Jensen's book on pornography did. It might just make me sad, make me not want to be looked at anymore.

Can barely move my legs at all, everything's so sore. Heh.

Reasons to live today: Coffee, pokemon, venetian plague doctor masks, sundried tomatoes, fragrant wine (Santa Christina Toscana, 2007), roasted seaweed (my new favorite snack).

Reasons not to: Widespread misogyny

Class tomorrow might be painful. I can imagine it. The male students half-smirking down at their laps, not wanting to say anything offensive but plainly thinking it. The female ones silent, not wanting to seem "feminist," because that would be unappealing. Of course I'll take up the argument, because I am proud, and because I am strong and better than many, and damned if I give a fuck about them all. But it'll be tiring, and I'll feel self-righteous and dirty.

That could happen. I could be pleasantly surprised, I guess.

I've been corresponding a little with this man: http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/index.html

I look up to him, a little.
