Consumerism is patriarchal. War is patriarchal. Oppression of women is patriarchal. The Inquisition, the Holocaust; patriarchal.

and I want it NOW. *



what else ya got?

*blame Barbara G. Walker. I've slowly, quietly become radicalized b/c of her and her damn knitting books!!

That is all. It sounds so simple, doesn't it?

But what often happens is that somebody will ask for a problem to be solved, but will insist on a "solution" that does not actually fix the problem.

Or Person A will want a problem solved and Person B will not, where Person A has enough authority to insist that the problem be solved, while Person B, while not having the authority to counter A, has too much stature for me to simply say "I can't to it because B is being an obstructionist jerk."

Or Person C will want a "problem" solved, but Person D regards it not as a "problem" but as an essential condition, and neither of them is willing to acknowledge the other's position, much less negotiate about it.

Or they will insist that their problem is urgent and must be fixed as soon as possible, but will fail -- sometimes repeatedly -- to provide the most basic level of cooperation, such as providing access to the equipment causing the problem.

And as to what I am knitting? it is only important that you know I am sitting by the fireside, knitting, hearing nothing.

"this.. NEXT song... is the.. first track... on our new... AL-bum. It just came out THIS WEEK.. and the song is called.. Surr.. en... der!"

you can HEAR him point to the YOU, that he wants to want, HIM, at the start of that track.

Like I can just see him talking to a japanese person
and talking
very slow
and loud
because thats how
you make
someone
suddenly understand
eng-lish.


I want to get laid. I'll come right out and say it. I haven't got more than a steamy handsy makeout in over a year. And now I've even got not one but two beautiful ladies who regularly trade naughty pictures and mutual masturbation with me and they're BOTH around twelve hours away from me.
OKAY WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE ANYWHERE NEAR ME?
seriously not cool.
