Yesterday to my complete shock an ex...ex-friend? Ex whatever she ever was called me, a girl from Iraq. I get the impression she still hates me, which is too bad, and wanted some info I had. VHeather, you know who. In any case, she had something interesting to say about the Iraq thingy.

Most Iraqis would rather be tortured or killed than humiliated they way we see in the photos. It sounds like an exaggeration and I said as much, but I've heard this many times from many places, she was just the last nail in the coffin of a line of thought. I said there are many things I'd rather endure than physical torture and death, but the reply was at least then it won't haunt you the rest of your life. I don't understand that, but damnit it's not my job to understand. Bush and his filth have made it their job to know - but they haven't bothered to learn. Therein lies the problem - ignorance and staying ignorant. "I keep hitting them, why don't they get it?"

What comes out is yet another argument that Bush and his cronies, even the recently defended oil-anointed Rummy, have no clue regarding the culture they are invading/occupying. The reputation of hte US as a bully, as a bunch of people who care nothing about the perspective of those around them, is sealed for some time. Go-America, go-Arrogance! Ga-ga!

Really hurting is the 70-90% wrongful arrest rate by our troops. That makes the 'torture' even more horrific.

I still don't care what my grades are, but I'm midly curious. I think either As or Cs or anything inbetween and I'll just giggle.

I see the allergist in 1.5 hours. Then I take drugs.

Forgot to mention this ages ago, but regarding the idea that you can't be happy with someone unless you can be happy by yourself:
Being happy alone isn't necessarily human! I mean, you have to have a certain level of independence and happiness, but humans are social animals spending 25-33% of their lives learning how to function in society. To think we should be happy alone is absurd. Now, friends work and help - but many of us are naturally inclined to couple-off. It's NORMAL. Wanting to share your life with someone doesn't mean you're desperately clinging onto serial monogamy as though being with someone is the only thing that defines your existence! People that do that are way fucked up, sure, but to be pretty happy but still wish you had a special someone to share with is fine too.

Yes I'm used to being wrong all the time. It's not for a lack of trying, but I can't help but notice the trend. Of course, I admit when I'm wrong which seems to be a rare trait.

Saw the doctor, was given drugs. She thinks that it is very likely I reacted and still react to the anti-inflamatory thingy. The effects, much to my surprise, can last a month. I'm supposed to suck claritin for a bit, but should be fine from now on. Enough with the insane health weirdness!

You know I can blame hte whole thing on law school. The chain goes like this:
1) Law school causes stress
2) Stress causes the muscles in my neck to stay tense for days
3) The tense neck got so bad it was injured sitting still in a chair (snap)
4) The injury caused nerve damage, which I'm stuck with for some time (I miss my boob)
5) The treatment for that injury was with a drug that caused an allergic reaction
6) Those allergic reactions continue to this day, and have cost me comfort, happiness, and time from work - effects of which I will feel for weeks.

That's right - I'm suing law school for the whole bundle!

PS I'm fucking kidding

I have developed a new racial prejudice - I like and trust black doctors (black from the US, not black from africa with dog-shit breath).
