Do not watch Blue Velvet right before going to bed.
I had the most disturbing dreams last night.

[01 Jan 2005|02:59am] |
Tonight while at dinner, Robert reminded me of a dream I told him about this weekend. Sunday night, while at his mother's house, I dreamed that we ran to a town that was sunken in, with surrounding mountains. Then we got on a train.
Robert said we were going on vacation to a beach resort in Malaysia. In the dream, I remember thinking Malaysia is in the Middle East, there's no beach there. It's a desert [While I do not know much about Malaysia, I do know it's in Southeast Asia]. I wish I could remember more of the dream. I do know I had multiple dreams that night.
While we were discussing it before, I thought it might have to do with him being shipped there. But with the tsunami, it's one strange coincidence.
Tonight, we ate out and then watched fireworks. We both worked today, so we were both too tired to do anything much when arrived home. As I write this, he's passed out on the couch. I guess I should mention the passing of the year. I don't know what 2005 will bring. So far my resolutions are to exercise more, watch more films, write in my journal more often, save more money, and once again to try to be organized.

| Where are all the dead animals? Sri Lanka asks |
[29 Dec 2004|06:30pm] |
Interesting...
COLOMBO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan wildlife officials are stunned -- the worst tsunami in memory has killed around 22,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast, but they can't find any dead animals.
Giant waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.
"The strange thing is we haven't recorded any dead animals," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of the national Wildlife Department, told Reuters on Wednesday.
"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit," he added. "I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening."
At least 40 tourists, including nine Japanese, were drowned.
The tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean on Sunday, which sent waves up to 5-metres (15-feet) high crashing onto Sri Lanka's southern, eastern and northern seaboard, flooding whole towns and villages, destroying hotels and causing widespread destruction

One more day, and then I'm "off" for two weeks. At first, I was disappointed that I won't be earning any money during that time, but after these past few days, I need a break. Maybe not a two-week one, but one nonetheless.
If you ever work with kids, take off the week before Winter break. It is hell. I don't know if there is crack in their candy canes, but...ugh. Today, I had a group of girls try to convince me that this other girl was faking a medical condition, when she wasn't. Yeah.
I have high school tomorrow. I'm hoping the older kids are immune to the holiday bug, but I'm not optimistic this holiday season.

So, I ended up talking to the guidance counselor. At the end of the day, she had me phone CPS and then I made a written report. She asked me for the number on the sheet and then commented that she's dialed it so often, she should know it by heart by now. I was nervous but it wasn't that bad. The guidance counselor told me I was perceptive for noticing his back wasn't touching the chair. She told me I did the right thing and then told me a tale involving a little girl covered in welts the day after her birthday.
I was not positive about the kids name, but I told them I could ID him from a photo. (There's pictures throughout the classroom with names and they have a class photobook), but for some reason, they brought me into the classroom after school was done.
The other teacher was mysteriously absent; she took the afternoon off. I am positive now, she didn't report it. The kids mom is/was a teacher, because the guidance counselor recognized the last name as teaching somewhere else. So perhaps that was the reason.
There's still some doubts in my mind. I'm still hoping it was just an "accident," even though, it isn't natural to throw a five year-old to the floor so hard, he's in pain the next day. I hope I did the right thing. Either way, I won't ever find out what happened.

I watched AMW tonight. The (first?) case about the serial killer seemed kind of interesting. They were asking people to watch out for a guy who quotes folklore. I wish I had caught the beginning of it. Also, it's odd because the deaths happened in Wichita and I was planning on looking up that 'word', because I wanted to make sense of its reference in Happy Campers. I actually was thinking about it earlier today.
Monday, I have my paralegal final. I didn't do so well on the last test, so I really need to study for this one. I'm taking the day off Monday, so I can cram. I hope I do okay on it, although I think I will.

I went to Rob's mother's house for a few days. His mother stayed up till three in the morning cooking and baking for Thanksgiving. She sure did make a lot for four adults and two preschool-age kids and almost all of it was very good. She made four types of breads, apple pie, blueberry pie, blue cheese mashed potatoes, avocado and cucumber salad...etc and they made things I don't eat like leg of lamb and turkey. Rob's sister made a few dishes too. On Friday, when everyone else was working or was in daycare, I had some of the leftovers including the alcohol. I got smashed. I had cognac, burgundy, strawberry-flavored rum and two beers. I watched the Fifth Element and Terminator 2 from their film collection, then I watched Andrei Rublyov, which I had rented. It was nice. Rob was suppose to come back at 2, but he had to work overtime. The sad thing is, he hardly has any hours this week, while (hopefully) I'm going to be working every day this week. I really need the money. Anyway, I better get to bed, so I can wake up early.

My mom had Rob and me go with her with her democratic group to paint an inner-city school in Baltimore that had paint chirped. Rob and I talked with one girl he knew from a previous class. She was okay, but many of the Democrats there were pretty condescending toward the black community. (Although to be fair, Rob and I had a huge laugh at the Shake-N-Bake Chicken field trip being offered to students with perfect attendance and good behavior) The reason why perhaps: in the hallway there was a giant Bush-Cheney sign hanging up. Although, one small Kerry sign was found in the sink of a history class. Hmm.

Things are going much better now, I seem to be having a string of luck except for the fact that a shipment of various Alice in Wonderland videos never arrived. Grrr. Although, of course things just might be average right now and the shitty week I had last week might have effected my judgment. My family is taking me gambling tomorrow, so I'm hoping this luck stays, however I'm not toohopeful. Of course if Kerry won, I could go to a casino in Maryland (in a few years), but no, I'm going to West Virginia instead.

Bored, so I decided to take another look at Bush and Kerry's natal charts by looking specifically at their transits.
Jupiter sextile Ascendant tells Kerry that he needs to hold onto past contacts and pluto opposing saturn warns of losses and suppressed emotions. Yeah, he has Jupiter in the tenth, but that just means that this is a time of his life that he will never forget, not that he will win. I doubt Kerry's going to pull through.
As for Bush, his transits are a lot more "interesting." With Jupiter squaring his Sun and conjuncting his moon and natal jupiter, he's going to be feeling like King of the World for the next two months. I don't know how anyone could have predicted a Bush loss without taking those aspects into consideration. For the new year, with Neptune hitting his Moon and Pluto trining his MC, he's going to feel that he needs to make changes for everyone for the "common good," and with Uranus opposing his Mars, he's going to take risks. That Pluto aspect will make him very powerful, drawing people to him and Neptune will let him empathize with others. He will seem like a new person. Perhaps his Saturn return knocked some sense into him, but I would watch out...
I don't see any obvious war aspects for the next year, he's going for a more "ideological war." Putting in Supreme Court Court justices won't be the main issue, he's going to take it to the "people."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe this means trouble for abortion and gay rights. Support for gay marriage statistically is low among Hispanics and even lower among blacks, two typically Democratic groups. (That isn't to say whites aren't all "pro-gay", it's usually split equally in most places, usually by religion. Also, this isn't taking into account that many gay rights "supporters" objectify and patronize gays) Bush's handlers know that the issue isn't enough to pull most of them into the Republican party, but as a referendum, it would be successful. I believe that abortion rights would be next to be attacked. The only key to stopping him would be to hit those two groups but feminist and gay rights groups are too white-centric, that I doubt it would be successful. I've read articles where black homosexuals said they felt used by white gay activists, that they would let them march in their parades, etc... but when it came down to doing the same for them, they could have cared less. If they can't reach them, how can they get the anti-folks? Besides the fact, how do you make someone change their convictions?

Edwards' speech was short, since he arrived late and he was suppose to attend a $15,000 per person/$27,000 per couple dinner fundraiser immediately afterward. Yeah, the Democratic party really is the party of the middle class...I'm pretty sure the guy who is hosting the fundraiser is the same person who oversaw our group. Because it says online that he stepped down a few years back as chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party, since he helped an out-of-state casino company land lobbyists and investors, and this guy talked a lot about casinos beforehand.
The rally itself was okay. Everyone who spoke was vague, although there were a few good stories and comments. Like one where the guy's grandfather kept going back to the White House to hear "Hoover doesn't live here anymore," just because he liked hearing it. There were lame ones too, like the John Kerry walking on water bit or the Mayor's bit about his son which seemed fake to me.
There were two VIP sections, one for people seated on the stage and one in the immediate area surrounding the stage. I got to stand in the second. I was behind two women and they were behind 'Secret Service' (that's how they referred to them) agents. At the end, Edwards shook my brother's hand and pretended to hug me. He didn't sign autographs, but before we found out, my mom pulled out a John Hopkins pad...
Anyway, my feet still hurt. During the part where the speeches stopped and they said 15 minutes more (more like 45 minutes), I sat down on the floor. I had been standing and before that, escorting VIPS to the stage area where somebody else would seat them, about six hours altogether, with no break sitting down. The woman next to me kept asking if I was going to pass out, no, my feet just hurt. When one of the senators was walking past, he made a comment that he doesn't walk on water and he doesn't step on young ladies, ha.

Monday, after my teeth cleaning, my dentist gave me a number to refer me over to another dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. I was just looking online to see what other sites have to say about their removal. Almost every site said they should be removed except one, because wisdom teeth "are valuable gifts from the Creator." Damn it, I didn't even realize it was a Creationist page until I arrived at the last part. It was then I noticed the Bible quotes and the like.
I'm looking at the FAQ section now. Scary...
Q: Is hell a real place? If so, where is it?
A: Hell is certainly a very real and fearsome place, and those who now make light of it will find this out soon enough. Jesus Christ Himself spoke more of the reality and terrors of hell than did any other single individual in all the Bible!
So yeah, if you question anything they say, you go to hell. Nice way of avoiding actually answering the question...

| Once again the poor kids lose out |
[29 Sep 2004|03:36pm] |
About two weeks ago, my boss wanted me to distribute papers at a school open-house in Glen Burnie. When I told her my mother was driving me, she apologized. She thought my boyfriend was going to.
I thought it was weird, because it was not that far of a drive.
Then I went and I found out what she meant. It wasn't the effect of taking me, but of actually going there.
It was a poor school, both in the quality of the school and of the income levels of the children's parents. The paint was chipping, there was no air conditioning, the principal said something about not having furniture and the only question asked during the open question session was about reduced lunches. While at the other schools, parents seemed to be solely concerned with their children's self-esteem, these parents just wanted to have their kids' basic needs met.
Hardly anyone showed up. The ones that did were dressed in sweatpants, casual clothes looking like they just rolled out of bed. At the other schools I visited, most of the parents looked like they just stepped out of a business meeting.
For the whole elementary school, there were about forty parents present, and I know most were "absent." A lot of kids must attend that school because they had about fifteen teachers stand up in the beginning. I guess the other parents didn't care or had night jobs.
My mother said it was depressing. Although it's definitely not the worst school in Maryland; I'm sure ones in Baltimore take the cake, but it was still sad. Even for public schools, the quality of education you get depends on how much your parents make and unfortunately for these kids their parents are in the working class.
On the brighter side, the principal said that with construction of a new school they would finally have the basics that all the other elementary schools in the area already have.
Guess again.
Yesterday, a 20 year-old and two 17 year-olds torched the new school being built for them, setting off nine fires.
I really hate people sometimes.

Today in paralegal class, we had to do research in the library. We divided ourselves into groups of two. Each group was to do two questions and then we would all do the internet questions together last (since they were the easy ones).
My group finished our two questions first, so we did the internet questions ourselves. When we came back, they were still working on theirs!
The other group included a guy who is currently working for a law firm and a girl who is a paralegal but for the military. We weren't competing, but it felt good that it seems like it's coming along smoothly to me. I also helped the guy answer one of his group's questions.
I also got my quiz back today. I got an A. I would have gotten a 100% (with the extra credit) if I didn't blow a 6 point question about jurisdiction that I should have know.
I didn't get my first homework back yet; I didn't do good on that, I was sick and waited to the last minute, so I'm not looking forward to getting it back. At least that reminded me that I need to stay on track.

| Prepackaged Vegetarian Food |
[25 Sep 2004|07:28pm] |
I hate prepackaged food that is marked "vegetarian" or "vegan," because compared to it's meat-filled counterparts, they have:
1) A drastically higher price
2) Much smaller portions
3) Almost always tastes like crap or is bland
Why is this? It is possible to make good tasting vegetarian/vegan food, I know that, so why do food companies keep selling that bland crap? Example, my mom and I went grocery stopping today. I decide to try this vegetarian teriyaki meal. The portion is half that of a "regular" TV dinner and the price is twice as much. I was starving since earlier I spit out what I had eaten of my sandwich.
My grandmother doesn't like to wear her glasses. When she went shopping a few days ago, she thought the "margarine" I had written down was actually "mayonnaise." Despite hating mayo for all my life, she thought somehow I had miraculously changed. So when I bit down on my sandwich, I had a most unwelcome surprise-
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE mayo. I could only get the taste out of my mouth after I rinsed with listerine.
(You know what is worse than tasting mayo? Smelling it when heated, and Rob loves to baste it on egg sandwiches right out of the pan...and the smell is overpoweringly disgusting.)
So anyway after bad lunch #1, I put the vegetarian teriyaki meal in the microwave. I take a bite and guess what? It's craptastic. I felt bad for wasting my mom's money on it. I should have known, since they usually are inedible.
It's like the food industry believes that all those who are vegan/vegetarian are career women or upper-middle class college students with weight issues. Because the food prices add up quickly for those on a budget, and with the small portions and bad taste, people aren't going to overdose on prepackaged vegetarian food.

[22 Sep 2004|08:29pm] |
well, i was going to write about friday, but haven't. until now. here goes.
my mom drove me down there. she hates driving in the city despite working there for about ten years in the past. she stresses over every little thing and worries herself into a stupor while driving.
so yeah, i was already annoyed by the time i got there. i had two teachers that were there and i knew two students. there were a few other people i recognized, but didn't know. there weren't that many people there, but i felt hyper-self-consciousness almost the whole time.
i spent most of my time talking to this one interesting guy i met. his daughter teaches english in china. there's very little need/want for americans in europe and with japan's cost of living so high-she would be hardly making any money, so china was her first choice. he said she was enjoying it there. she's not very sure what's she going to do next, but she was taking pictures just for fun. and she got to sell them. she thought it was something small, but it turned out to be an international publication.
his wife writes and publishes articles. and she found out that someone was selling her articles online without her permission! he joked that that person was getting more money than his wife ever did with her writing.
after it was done, i waited and chatted with one girl i knew while she waited for her mom. unfortunately mine got lost so i got to wait in the rain and cold. i was left alone though, thankfully. except for this creepy old jewish guy who tried to get me 'to have drinks with him.' i thought he wanted directions when he showed me this card, but then it appeared that he was just trying to brag where he lived. yuck. i smacked him with his own umbrella "accidentally" while handing it back to him. oh yeah, he had me hold his umbrella while he was showing me his card, and i thought at first he was just being nice :( he puffed and walked off after that.
right before my mom came, there was a police bust a few hundred feet from where i was waiting. police cars raced in from the opposite direction. i think there was about eight cars total. i was worried that they were going to close down the street, but they didn't. it wouldn't have mattered anyway since she came from the opposite side.
rob, later said he saw a swat team, head into a building. it's weird that he spent the day there doing something else and quite possibly saw the same thing i saw.

My mom was riding her bike when a truck turned right in front of her to go down a street. He was about to run her over. She thought at the very least she was going to hit the bumper and go flying. Luckily, two-three years ago, she bought an expensive bike. I remember writing that I thought it was a waste of money since at that time she did not bike much.
Her brakes stopped the bike instantly. She said she was about an inch from hitting the truck. The truck did not even bother to put on its brakes. She saw what house it turned into, then came home and told us. I said she should go back and confront the people and tell them what happened.
So me, her and my grandmother went.
My mother knocked and rang the doorbell. My grandmother walked around the back.
"They're here in the back," she called out.
The two of us followed. They had a pier and boats in the back. Two older men were sitting under a cabana eating Wendy's.
My mom and my grandmother told the story.
"Well, I've been here for an hour," said one of the men.
Bull-fucking-shit
When we came they were in the back eating Wendy's food. Fast food goes bland and soggy after 15 minutes. He was probably hurrying so he could eat his crap before it went bad.
After we went back into the car my mother said she recognize the other guy, the one who didn't say anything, as the one driving.
But before we left and throughout my mom stressed that many kids ride their bikes in the neighborhood and if it had been a child riding, he wouldn't have stopped in time.
{Even if they don't care about kids, if they hit a child that isn't their own, they would be fucked. If it's their own, middle class white parents can get away with the claim "they've suffered enough." That is the reason (in my humble opinion) why cases of babies left in the car keep going up, not down and why I get to read cases where parents drive an hour to work and miraculously the baby in the back doesn't make one peep during the whole time. But if it's not their own...}
Anyway, hopefully in the future the guy will be more careful. I think my mom did a good job of enlightening him about the results of his bad driving, but most likely, he'll be careful for a little while before heading back into his old patterns.

rob said i could choose the movie yesterday. i would have picked garden state or resident evil: apocalypse except i was too dizzy. i think he knew i would decide not to go; i told him after we got out of the car-the feeling just came as i started walking to the mall, so that's probably why he said i could. i think the last movie we saw in the theater that i wanted to see was chicago, so yeah.
(i think i may have had garden state ruined for me, because several people have already said that portman's character is a l-. i usually don't care, but i've been moody lately.)
we ate at chevy's, we were going to go to fuddruckers but didn't since i doubt there would be anything there i could eat. the food was okay, we both got vegetarian dishes. i was surprised he picked that. he said he enjoyed it more than when i picked out steak and chicken meals for him.
both dishes were spicy and it didn't say so on the menu! i believe i had mine before, and it wasn't that way. also, they wash dishes poorly there. the waiter brought out rob's tea glass and there was stuff in it, but the waiter noticed and got another. this was at the very beginning. then when a severer brought out dishes that should have clean and empty, there was crap on one. gross.
the worst case of spicy food i had was in san fransisco. we were at a chinese restaurant. they marked which meals were hot, but we ordered this meal for two, and for some reason, they didn't mark that section. i ate a few bites, everything was okay. then my mouth starts to burn, my face turns red, i swallow my glass of water in one gulp. my mom had the waiter bring out ice. still, i remember it took about a half hour for my mouth to stabilize.
there was the time with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fatchicksinhats and thanny when i popped the whole piece of wasabi in my mouth, because i thought it was candy. i swallowed it quickly so it didn't have much effect besides a slight yuck taste. i remember both of them made a bigger deal than it was. elle was saying how she would have pounded her hands on the table and nicole was looking at me with a passing-an-accident glee.
sadly, i haven't read a book since last may. so i decided to correct that. i was at the library saturday. after finding out that almost every book i wanted was checked out or not in stock, i picked up lullaby. my attention span is very short right now and even his official site says, "it's very hard to jump into a different author after reading chuck's style and pacing. everything seems so slow." well yeah, with his mtv-like pacing.
i feel as if i've read the book before when i know for a fact i have not. that's not really a good thing, but it is kind of fun so far. i half like it/half don't. i still think survivor was his best book (out of the ones i've read)
i wasn't able to fall asleep again last night (like friday night). not sure if i should take a nap or not today. feeling slightly tired now. i have a test today and i haven't finished all the reading yet. so i have to get to that. and take a bath. because being sick makes me smell bad, even if i take baths daily. why do i have to keep being sick? why why why?
