» Prejudice

Gay.
Click "I like this" if you too are getting tired of the gaming population using the word 'gay' as a stand-in for 'stupid.' As in, 'that last fight was gay, I died three times', or 'this game is so gay, my phat lewtz never drops!!!1!'
ugh.
and btw it's not cool to call someone a faggot because you disagree with his/her playing style and/or general in-game chat.
stoppit.

» Accidental innuendo

the security department loved me
I was working at a Best Buy a few years ago and managed to set off the entire Loss Prevention department with one accidental statement. Me: female, 18 years old, big boobs, long red hair, tight blue Best Buy polo. Loss Prevention dept: entirely male, entirely aged 20 to 24 and single, all my good friends with a lot of flirtation on the side.

I walked up to the security station, into the middle of a department-wide conversation regarding gum vs. candy. My horrified brain saw it coming but couldn't put on the brakes fast enough as my mouth proudly proclaims, "I don't see the point of putting anything in my mouth if I can't swallow it."

Oooooooh yeah, the LP guys loved me. >.<

» "You're doing it wrong"

"just like the holocaust survivors"
my stepgrandfather passed away a few years ago at age 80something. you ever notice how old people either get extremely fat or skeletally thin? grandpa joe was one of the skeletally thin ones. at the funeral my dad, unfortunately, continually referred to him as "emancipated" instead of "emaciated." i kept hearing him going to successive groups of people and saying "he lost so much weight near the end, see how emancipated he looks? just like the holocaust survivors." i didn't have the heart (or the chutzpah) to tell him that he was getting the word wrong. after almost 2 hours, either he figured it out or someone told him, cause he gave me such a LOOK from across the funeral parlor floor... >.<

» Sexism

Bollocks to this
speaking of sexism, i'm tired of the namby pamby crap that women only want to be listened to when we complain, that we want to be held after sex, that as soon as someone brings their crotchfruit 'round we all want to hold it and coo, that we can't take the garbage out and can't smush our own spiders.

if i bring an issue to your attention, i want advice on how to fix it. sympathy is useless! and sometimes after sex i'm hot & sweaty and don't want you touching me, ok? babies are only good for making messes out of one end or the other, and i swear to god if you make me hold it i'll drop it. i take out the trash 50% of the time and the other day whilst in the midst of a warcraft raid i saw a house centipede on the wall next to me; i grabbed a notebook and smashed the crap out of it and kept healing.

just because one gender does something 85% of the time, don't assume that your mate is one of that 85%. if you want to know if she wants a cuddle, or sympathy, or a solution, ASK. straight up say "honey, what is is that you need from me right now?" make a deal with your mate that you're not going to put with the "mindreader expectation" bullshit, and stick with it. even if it gets difficult.

and yes, i'm a chick, with huge knockers to boot. i'm NOT of the female persuasion. no one had to convince me that being a chick was a good idea, just like no one had to persuade you at age 5 to just try on a penis for size and see how it feels. it's a stupid turn of phrase. stop it.

» Teenage Crushes - Part Two

The very first love of my life
was Spock. Oh Spock, with that brilliant mind and hard exterior, I knew I'd be the one woman who could make him truly, truly feel, and that while everyone else would only ever see the cold intelligence, once we were alone in his quarters he'd proclaim his undying and passionate love.

On a side note, it's a little difficult to masturbate with a poster of Kirk, Spock, and Doc McCoy staring down at you.
(Maybe it's a girl thing.)
