A case of the mondays...

Good Evening all,
It is another monday. Today was awful. (are you surprised?)

My lovely boss is late on my paycheque again.... no clients came in all day. No confirmed calls all day. and shit just did not go well.

And it is cold. Last year, when I was up north in Timbuktu it was cold; where as home, had lovely warm weather- this year it is -2 in November. Last year, they got -2 in January .... I am not happy.

And furthermore- I'm just grumpy on mondays. If I am not; then you know something is seriously wrong with me.

I agree. 

But I found something that I just have to share. It is something that made my day- wanted me to run to the tree tops and exclaim: "Female Book Worms Unite" or "GIRL POWER"! And then I may have to rip of my bra and set it on fire... while waving a book around 
well here take a look for yourself... 

I would love to hear your thoughts.

It is really empowering to believe that women and intelligence are something to feared. Makes it seem like the reason we are still not achieving equal pay and rights around the world (and here at home)- is because the world is intimidated by us- and they should be. 

I don't mean to complain- but I can't help but notice in how many relationships women take care of getting things done- maybe not the handiwork of fixing a faucet, but the planning, the phone calls, the business of life, and men just sit back. ... I should make a note here: my man to be is not like this... he is not as into grabbing chores by the horns as I am- but he doesn't just sit back. I may have to ask him, "hey can you do this" aka he lacks the initiative, but I don't worry about it not getting done. But Honestly, I do ask him to work on his initiative a little more. 

Anyways, hope you all have a lovely day. I will keep you informed if we do buy a home! :)

What is up

SO
I am pretty much back to being quirky... meditation does that to me.
Its my own therapy. something i do for me.
I'm still being a bad student though. that is okay- I love being a bad student. I have been a good student now for so long... I AM SICK OF IT!
But, to the important part of my day.. totally watching big bang theory; again. On season 2 already and so happy.
I forgot how much I love sheldon cooper. and how much I LOVE LOVE LENARD! I want my own Lenard... but I want to change his last name to something better. Its not that he is cute- I just think he would be a great guy to be in a relationship with. It is not that he is needy- it is that he is grateful and appreciative and respectful.
And I love him. lol
he makes me think of my boy toy a lot. but lets not talk about him.
Lenard Hofstadter 
(actor: Johnny Galecki)
And Penny is so cute. I have heard a lot of complaints about how the girl is the dumb one- but think of the string of dumb men she brings in- there is by far more dumb men on the show then women (yay!) 
I also like Amy. Shes so quirky. Love it. I love her drunk too... and her a-sexuality especially when you think about it she has put more moves on penny then she has on sheldon! LOVE IT! 

Maybe I am overanalyzing it. but that is ok. 

How many times have I watched this series? I dont know 5, 6, 7? ok probably in the double digits. Probably have a problem. but that is totally ok.
So anyways...

OH OH! I was wondering- why is anyone reading my blog? Curious. Cause I am mostly writing for my need to hear myself and my amazingness. Cause I am awesome. 

Oh today in my religion teachable I did a prayer on being called to inclusivity in the classroom. And I talked about one of ways to stop bullying after it has started is to make sure the students don't sit together. My wonderful colleague pointed out that means they aren't dealing with the situation. Well, I said, its my job to protect my students. I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE. She just couldn't see why separating them would be beneficial. If I had to sit beside my bully every day I would leave. I was going to include a story of me as a kid here- but I can't cause it is totally upsetting me and I am not supposed to look back too much. 

So screw any of you who think enabling is ok. IT IS NOT. THEY ARE CHILDREN! CHILDREN!!!! OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THEM! PROTECTION is the key to education. If a child is not safe then you are not being a teacher. Ok that is my rant. I was pretty upset if you can't tell. It is a huge pet peeve of mine to think that a teacher would do nothing in the eyes of a bully. To say you will put them together and just say get along is disgusting. SICKENING. And i feel really bad for her future students. and I hope one day someone tells her THIS IS NOT OK. and I mean, besides me. 

Done my rant. More Big Bang Theory? HELLS YES!

TV!!!

So failed again, with blogging- but guess what bahahah
Instead, I spent last night watching charmed on the couch with my room-mate. so much better then writing!
Maybe aiming everyday to blog is a little overwhelming everyday- but I am not giving up.
And why is my post called tv? well because I have had to watch tv off a laptop; and I need tv, just to watch movies and stuff but I need TV!!!
And this awesome guy in my section gave me his tv; and a hug. Made me so happy!!!
Hugs and tv? sounds kick ass!
Now, I am hearing about how extra-ordinary Martin Luther is- and all I can think is that as much as he did; he is an anti-Semitic, and against gender-roles!
So.. anti-Semitic guy is awesome? anti-women roles is awesome?
Basically we are saying we should support the guy who would hold society back in social justice? GREAT!!!

And, history people are so oblivious to world religions, they don't have a clue. They don't realize the contributions to faith- they say this is what they did and don't analyze it beyond that point.
They think they can hid behind their big words- I might not use big words but I have a much stronger understanding of religious ideas and religious people. but WHATEVER!

anyways going to pay attention- might write again.

I am amazing.. :)

TV TONIGHT!! YAY!
