I'm still not sure what to say about all of it, and, of course, I have to be less than totally clear because of the persons involved and content of the thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think, when you end up embroiled in academic scandal, that you have to be very careful how you react and what you do about it. We invest our and our families futures in being an academic. It is horrendously difficult not to over-react and to preserve at least the appearance of being neutrally horrified. Or at least terrified in a subdued fashion, something like drowning with grace and poise. I have been struggling to try and be kind or patient with people, even people who have savaged me at various points because of what they had been told about me or because I have an aggressive, sometimes slightly strident approach to arguments or discussions in class. I try to get a grip on that reaction and my reaction depends greatly on the subject matter being discussed. I have also chosen to write about things that are not comfortable for me or for anyone having to read the works and I am not terribly social, which just makes it easier, thanks to the content of my work, to make any old rumor stick. In my defense, these last three years have contained anything that could go wrong short of an explosion and I have not had the time or inclination to drink or hang out, and when I had, the invisible strictures of the rumors circulating about me made it impossible to say much else. Rumor, especially in an environment in which you are so completely dependent on your colleagues, is almost as effective as tying someone up. It gives everything you do a sinister tinge and makes you wonder, at least marginally, if you are as sinister as you are portrayed. Self-doubt helps you make more mistakes, and that particular little vicious cycle makes you a little crazy. We want to blame ourselves, I think, as a way of deflecting the inhumanity of our portrayal. I want to be personally responsible in direct proportion to the fact that the rumor mill makes me out to be everything short of a sexual serial killer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thesis director outed me as kinky, as well as encouraging me to write about it, among other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I came into the program, I anticipated hard, one-on-one work with a professor or small group of professors. I anticipated teaching, though I thought I might not be good at it (hard to tell in advance). I was definitely looking forward to research (I have a reading dependency) and to partaking of what I felt was the academic environment, not the least of which was contributing to the understanding of students so they would become better citizens. I am aware this comes with a certain amount of danger, so I'll qualify that I think teaching and learning critical thinking skills and/or encouraging critical thought is an important part of being in a college and of being a citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had to re-evaluate what I think about the process of going to college, thanks to the scandal and resulting fallout. It has done a fine job of sweeping out some of the blind spots in my expectations for academics and academic life. The glass is no longer rosy nor does it hold much water. I want very much to believe that there is much which can be salvaged and learned from this. I want to believe I have not just wasted three years and a great deal of money, though there are people I am sure will never speak to me again and there are still people who will walk out of a room when I walk into it. It seems ridiculously easy for the close, emotionally and intellectually invested working conditions of academia to result in the single most cruel and persistent rumor mill I have ever encountered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a lot I should have learned about professionality that I hadn't and am still trying to pick up. I don't ever remember it being addressed directly. It is my feeling from watching the students and professors around me that we're all just supposed to know how much to say or not to say to our professors (in this case my ex-thesis advisor) or fellow students and to know, if we feel our dissertation director wants us to do something, that the request should always be checked against common sense or someone else's opinion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who can you trust? The people who are nice to you? The people that ignore you or are important enough to make you fear asking them anything of the sort, lest they mark you in a negative fashion for not knowing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my case, my whole life had fallen apart and I was just devastated as hell, and the heavy drinking and partying with my advisor was not helpful to professionality. I am not at my best after five martinis and a bad critique, even if there is not a mass of problems in my personal life. Add the problems, the liquor and the bad critique, and I am not for public consumption, especially not the consumption of my peers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advice I got from her was mostly career poison. I don't think it was all purposefully so, but a lot of it has had such a poor effect that I find it hard to believe she would not have known it would destroy relationships with my peers. I know she purposefully destroyed my relationships with other professors, both by telling me horrible things about them and by telling them horrible things about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I still chose to listen and do what she suggested, sometimes out of blind faith and sometimes because it was my impression that this was simply the way things were in my department. And, sadly enough, sometimes because I was just that angry, something she and I have in common. I am enraged by certain kinds of things and I have had to learn to be patient with people who insist that you can work your way to success all the time (when will the American Dream get a good look at itself?) and who persist in ignoring certain economic and/or sexist policies and their resultants. I am resisting the urge to find her at fault for all of what happened, something that is a real temptation for me, with mixed results; it's nice when you can make things that simple. Don't we all like to look better than we feel? (And I feel pretty damn shitty.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To some degree I feel bad for the problems my complaint to the local ethics and university civil rights office have undoubtedly caused her. I think she has been caught for a problem that is not just her and is being blamed for what I have been told by other students is an ongoing problem department-wide: sexual harassment and retaliation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can have a few good people in any bad situation, and I am meeting those people now, but it came a little late. Mostly, I'm told, because they thought she had me in hand. I suspect it had more to do with finding me difficult, if they noticed me at all. The ivory tower syndrome has been often cited, and while this is not exactly the  way it's usually cited, the way that colleagues tend to be focused on their own territories allowed a lot of damage to be done to myself and other students before anyone realized. I am lucky that my former advisor attempted to oust and slander other professors or sometimes I think that this would have gone on much longer. I don't have a lot of faith that I would have been important enough to garner attention otherwise, but I could be wrong. I'm feeling a touch cynical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to go back next semester and be five times more inhibited than normal (and I am not exactly wild and free now.) I have to live down what has already been said about me (the highlights of which are a series of assertions about my sex life, personal ethics, mental health and a purported propensity for violence.) I am continuously discovering more that has been said or done and I am under the microscope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am terrified that my dream has been wrecked. I had a dream for the process, for being a teacher and an academic, and now I mostly have a lot of shame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear this is normal. I am ashamed that I listened, ashamed that I let myself be so far out the other side of open that I feel everyone knows the negative parts of my business (some of this was her, some of this was me in workshop discussions. I felt like it was the duty of the artist to tell the truth and I did. Too much.) I am ashamed that I did not figure out what was going on and ashamed that I was so easy to slander and that I let her convince me (not that it was hard) to be a bit of a snob with my fellow students. I am ashamed that I might have ruined my ability to be employed by not being more professional, but I am trying to remedy this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have asked to talk to anyone I can to remedy the professionality questions; my model for this was that thesis director and my anger at the sense of being a poor fit with my fellow students (hence the snobbery.) I will go back next semester and try to pick up the pieces. I can try harder. If nothing else, the raw fear that this may cost me a career will provide the energy for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-4803455420212089837?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/4803455420212089837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=4803455420212089837&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4803455420212089837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4803455420212089837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/07/university-scandal-and-repairing-your.html' title='university scandal and repairing your professionality'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-6770032272811715739</id><published>2008-03-31T12:39:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-31T13:00:48.261-06:00</updated><title type='text'>the critique</title><content type='html'>For the sake of definition, let us call the happy, regular people normies. Normies expect all stories to maintain enough degrees of separation between themselves and any unpleasant event in the story so that they can maintain the pretense of being voyeurs. They also usually, whether they know it or not, expect a story to resolve in a fashion that makes them feel edified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is, of course, a gross oversimplification. However, I tend to be surrounded by normies when I go up for critique. When a normie reads one of my stories, they get angry and they say things like, 'why should I have to read this,' or they stare at me like I've grown another head and refuse to speak at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The critique of my story ended up being a discussion of killers among us who have served their time. I learned very little about what my story needed, and spent a hell of a lot of time learning about what people in the class dislike and have run into over the years. I also, for the billionth time, had to explain that the thing about fiction is that it is fiction, and not to be confused with real life. While the story had a huge autobiographical content, as well as a scene at the end which involved a near murder, because it was turned into a fiction class, I should not have had to defend my character because of a story. And I had to announce to the class that I have some truancy court, but no murders in my police record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This happens a lot. I'm not sure whether to be happy I disturb people (reactions are good; it means you've reached people) or pissed that no one has anything to offer other than to be sullen or to look at me as if I've grown another head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I am one of the people who regularly gets the angry readers who have little, if anything, nice to say about the story. I often leave a critique with one, maybe two things I might have done right, and a whole lot of unloading of the 'I didn't want to read this.' So I often have no idea what I might have done well on, and conflicting ideas (from the people who bother to speak) of what might need change, frequently at great odds with my purpose for the story. This is very frustrating.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the record, I dislike existential stories about young rich kids who don't know what to do with their lives, women who the story damns for having an opinion or sexual desire, men who think of and use women like dolls, stories about kids written by people who have never even babysat and stories about the poor written by people who honestly believe that there's something romantic about it, and yet I have read nearly three years worth of them and tried, no matter how annoyed I was with the content, to give the best suggestions I know how. Often with a break so I can put the story down and curse because of the shallowness and presumption of the assumptions. But I don't do this in front of the writer. I bend over backwards to try and help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose writers and avid readers often take literature seriously and personally. I know I do, or the process of writing critiques would be easier for me. But it would be nice if people spent more effort getting over it. The point of a workshop is to get better, and I cannot do such if I cannot get sufficient feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, I am heartened to find that the dissertation director who volunteered to take me seems to be an ideal reader for me, or nearly so. Even if he doesn't like the icky sex work stuff. I was thrilled to hear his reading of the non-fiction version of that story. I realize I am not expressing myself as well as I should, but it is a relief beyond relief that I have a reader who can go through the redemptive process with me, because I have to write out the ugly before the beautiful.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-6770032272811715739?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6770032272811715739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=6770032272811715739&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6770032272811715739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6770032272811715739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/critique.html' title='the critique'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-1850895804756191848</id><published>2008-03-24T10:08:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T11:22:04.268-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I forgot to mention this earlier</title><content type='html'>But I'm moving to a really nice space in the valley. It is the house my friend is having to abandon, and I've been remodeling like mad to try and get it ready to be moved into. It still smells a little doggy in there, even though we've used a high PSI water gun on it, dumped enzyme and mopped in something like five times now. I'm going to go over it with a baking powder paste sometime very soon and call it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exciting thing, other than the fact that there's enough room for all of us to have a room (we are currently 2 large dogs and five humans in almost 600 square feet), is that the space was once a woodworking studio and has a large studio space attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which means I can take my paints back out of storage. I had them out for a little bit, then had to put them up because of my son. Now I have a permanent space for them to stay, so the only thing I have to do to stop painting is wash and somewhat tidy the space, instead of having to pack everything up, including the drafting table, between times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a love/hate relationship with my paints. My mother was a portrait painter, and  I have had extensive training via tutors and art classes in visual art. I have a love for creating things that has stood the test of two kids, two husbands who saw my distraction as I painted as competition with the relationship and messed things up accordingly (including the last husband getting in between me and the easel and whimpering that I never pay attention to him any more. For the record, my response was not what I was thinking, 'Jesus, I don't bitch when you play video games for a week straight after work instead of cleaning anything or talking to me.' I asked him if he wanted a date night, so that I could finish what I was doing and he could still get the attention he craved. It did not work out well.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as I said earlier, Mom was a portrait painter. Some of the ugliest moments I ever had with her were as a result of the frustration which comes with trying to do something before the paint dries and being called away repeatedly. I'm not justifying it, but I understand it. The middle kid once called me away from the final touch ups on my portfolio/final for the semester. I went to get her a drink, came back and she had put black hand prints, in acrylic, on a whole semester full of watercolor, oil, acrylic and pencil compositions, all 35 of them. I sent her to her room and threw my shoes at the wall, then cursed solidly for about twenty minutes. And yes, I checked on her periodically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I didn't do anything to her, which is more than I can say for mom, though to my knowledge, I never defaced any of her commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father kept telling all of us that artists were whores, and that any artist who takes a grant is an unsuccessful whore. Also that art wastes everyone's time. As an adult, I wish I had the temerity to ask  about his girlfriends, but I know that would have gotten me beaten sideways. The fact that he kept muttering it as he paid for the lessons speaks to my mother's persistence and his passive-aggressive streak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, this was the same man who took a swing at me over my math homework (I demanded to know what a number was before I did anymore math; since I was in his college algebra textbooks in junior high, I figured I was far enough ahead to be let in on the secret.) He took to smacking the back of my head, occasionally bouncing it off the table and homework, if I didn't come up with the answer fast enough or it was incorrect or otherwise not what he wanted. I have had a math phobia since then, and for some bloody reason my math professors tend to want to stand just behind me, in the same position. I have had to leave class to heave in the bathroom after quizzes because of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have an unconscious association between the insane behavior my mother indulged herself in and painting, which makes it very difficult for me to paint, since I feel the urge to start screaming and burning things as soon as I pick up a brush. This is sad, because somewhere around here, I have a bunch of awards for it. I might have thrown them away, I can't remember. I went through a stage where I tried to remove all traces of myself. Fortunately, I did not find all the pictures and school records, or this would make for a less substantiated autobiographical university experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing I think is the most interesting about all this ilk of experiences is how it is handled. Most people, to my view, are a patchwork of problems which they must figure out how to deal with and get by with, despite their shortcomings. It's how the shortcomings are compensated for that makes it interesting to watch people go. Because I now have room, and to some degree, time, I can go back to painting, even though it makes me ill (the same way I forced myself through extra math as an undergrad for the express purpose of dealing with that phobia; god help me, the last professor was a Marine drill sergeant in his earlier life, and I nearly blathered myself into the ground before the class was over. He met with me outside class to suggest to me that I should never take math again, since I was obviously not gifted in this area.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, I will break that association and be able to create with a whole lot less anxiety. It'll be great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-1850895804756191848?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1850895804756191848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=1850895804756191848&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1850895804756191848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1850895804756191848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-forgot-to-mention-this-earlier.html' title='I forgot to mention this earlier'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-8739612314445519151</id><published>2008-03-24T09:01:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T10:04:46.390-06:00</updated><title type='text'>today's heaping helping of fun</title><content type='html'>The molestation story is up for critique tonight, in class. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about reading the exciting portions of it out loud and then listening to the debate on how 'realistic' it appears to be. In some ways, that debate tends to crack me up. I always want to laugh at the, 'this never happens in real life' group, as much because it's silly as because I'm sitting there, remembering the events as I listen to people talk about the story. I do take it seriously; the whole thing has to appeal realistic to a group of readers. However, the difference between I think this is realistic and this did/did not happen is a larger one than often gets treated in classes in a practical sense. We talk about it, as a frame for critique, but it appears to be difficult to maintain in application. I have freely admitted that there is an autobiographical bent to my fiction and poetry, but since I do not tell people which parts are autobiographical, and no one asks, I am always surprised what parts people think are autobiography. And how often what I'm thinking in a piece becomes something I'd do. I have all kinds of thoughts, sometimes very random ones, and none of them mean I'm going to do anything in particular. They are, after all, thoughts. I'd like to think I have at least a little common sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's self-evaluation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel a little creeped by it, honestly; I have competing drives to talk about my experiences, since I had no one to tell for so long, and to hide them, since people who haven't had those experiences judge the crap out of you. If I didn't believe it needed to be said, I wouldn't bother to write about it, since sitting there in the shit storm is a little disheartening (some critiques are better than others, but it is difficult to not feel as if your character is being evaluated.

I chose to share some of mine partially because I read a lot of stories that are incorrect in various ways (for instance, in movies you might see someone who deals and also runs a mini-casino out of their house; in real life, having the gaming department in with the ATF and vice is a very bad bust), and partially because I believe that I am in a writing program to help other writers in whatever ways I can, something I'm going to presume they would do for me. Which occasionally makes me act the fool, because most of the time it has not been worth the bother to try and offer that critique. Most of the people I've been in school with do not have the same experiences, so I feel like I should offer that information, since I'm the only one in the room, that I know of, who can. They don't have to listen, but at least someone has some kind of experience with these matters. However, even possessing these kinds of facts puts me in an uncomfortable position, because a good handful of times now, someone tries to get me to hook them up after class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The partner and I made a bet at the beginning of this semester; even though it has been years since I've known anyone who could hook anyone up, and even though I'd like to think I don't seem like I'd know anymore, the average time it takes someone to ask me about getting hooked up is about mid-semester. I prefer a beer or a good dirty martini to anything I could get arrested for, especially since I don't drive any more, so in some ways, being asked amuses the hell out of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is more about the cocktail of naivete and presumption that surrounds that request than anything else. This last time, the student who asked was, no doubt, up to something. She hates me. I have no idea why she would think, even if I did know, that I would do something like that for her. I don't want to go to jail at all, but especially not for someone who has been nasty to me. I have already done her a favor by getting her drunk ass home, while she insulted me, keeping her from trying to drive home when she couldn't stand up. She spent the whole ride slipping out of my seatbelt, groping my partner and telling me she finds me disgusting and how she finds me disgusting. In excruciating detail. I can only assume she thinks that the fact that I kept her from getting a DUI, dying or killing someone makes her think I have a soft spot for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just sucker enough to have cared, but this group have been as set as any group I've ever met on dying early and possibly taking someone with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with writing about the past, the past I am free in describing as such when asked, is that it is often difficult for people to make a distinction between a troubled past and a similarly troubled present. Having done stupid things does not translate into continuing to do stupid things (at least I hope so; I can certainly say I would pass any drug test, since the last thing I took were the painkillers prescribed to me after a surgery.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something insulting in writing about your own mistakes and having people try to get you to repeat those mistakes for their viewing pleasure. Doing drugs, for the greatest part, was a colossal mistake that I am not repeating. I can write about drugs without having to do them again. In fact, much of the pleasure of getting to write about your own mistakes is examining them, in the hope of not repeating them. It is naive to expect that the person who wrote the story does all the same things as the person they are writing the story about, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ESPECIALLY IN FICTION&lt;/span&gt; (pardon the yelling, but in a writing program, they train you to separate the writer from the writing, and yet there are always idiots who insist on conflating the two. Yes, I've had those experiences. No, I'm not planning on repeating them. And yes, I'm going to write about them, though if I think it's necessary, I'll just not explain anything to the people I'm in class with.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is insulting to be treated as if you are not capable of anything else, including things like hindsight and forethought and, you know, an ability to change. It's also insulting to treat the poor characters in your fiction like idiots. The equation works something like this in a lot of the pieces I've read (and this is another reason I often say something) Poor = automatic dealer or hooker = stupid = deserves to die. (But never, never anything that asks about the conditions they have to deal with and is capable of being about the good and the bad.) I really, really hate this equation, and I see it a lot. I realize it's just naivete and a willful inability to contemplate what the American Dream and middle class values do to anyone from a lower class, but I am hesitant to wait for them to grow up (and some of them never do.) And, frankly, that stuff pisses me off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also insulting to have someone, or a group of someones, who have previously spent a great deal of time insulting you, suddenly try to get you to commit a felony for them. No, thank you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the billionth time, I'm here to learn. As in, you know, for an education.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I mean, &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7967-2004Oct28.html"&gt;not&lt;/a&gt; that we're &lt;a href="http://www.aclu.org/natsec/foia/29316prs20070412.html"&gt;counting&lt;/a&gt;. And the &lt;a href="http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;refugees&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shhhh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they not, in a way free? Have we not brought them freedom? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They can no longer say we have not given them freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot fathom our president; what's he's thinking, how he can live with himself. I want to send him to the Hague, so that the parents of these children, their brothers and sisters, their grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and every single person left in the smoking ruin we have made of their country may come and bear witness. I want them to be given a time to tell him and every single member of this administration exactly what this war has cost them. There is not enough shame in the world to cover this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bear witness, and I will not stop doing so. I am an American, and this is what has been done in my name.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-6292836407354365962?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6292836407354365962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=6292836407354365962&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6292836407354365962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6292836407354365962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-war-has-cost-us.html' title='What the war has cost us'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-7805194451764218218</id><published>2008-03-20T09:32:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-20T10:49:44.468-06:00</updated><title type='text'>in case of slander, break glass</title><content type='html'>What makes someone step over the line from just not liking you to actively trying to ruin your career and life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been trying to amuse myself by making jokes out of this, but in the end, I don't think the situation is funny. Best response I've thought of so far is a guilty conscience. She most definitely has a dirty conscience. And dirty hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the person I'm thinking of actually has a conscience, anymore. I'm deliberately trying to assume good things of her, to assume this is all some kind of misstep or that perhaps I reminded her of someone else or some kind of mental hiccup, but it is an uphill battle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me, in a cloaked way, talk about interactions and the creative process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had a terrible life. If you've read the blog, you are aware of this. I am trying to reconstruct my life for the sake of a non-fiction manuscript, which means I have to write about abuse, violence, drugs, drinking, reaaaaally bad relationship decisions and trying to make something of yourself after the people close to you have gone to considerable lengths to make sure you know that you are worth nothing and better off dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means I turn in stories to workshop that make people uncomfortable. I am not actively trying to make them uncomfortable; these are the stories I have to tell, and they are heavy and they weigh me down and tire me out and I want to tell other stories, but I've been stuck with these stories and silence for so long that they have to come out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am often expected to apologize for 'bumming people out.' I have to listen to them disparage my choices, discuss whether or not it's possible for anyone to experience what I have experienced and shrug off the pain in the story as deep but not necessary (that sucks but you should have done this instead. Perhaps. Didn't occur to me at the time.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder, sometimes, if that unreadiness and resentment about having to deal with stories that contain these events contributes to some of the willingness of my fellow students to pass rumors, believe ridiculous innuendo, and, most often, to behave as if they fear me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I'm an angry person. I'd be worried if I didn't come home and cry at my partner, instead of plot something or do something crazy. But I come home, exhausted from rehashing something painful in front of a group of people who often seem happy to act as if I've been up to something heinous and who honestly believe that anyone who experiences my kind of life is obviously just trying to be unhappy (my ex-girlfriend and I had a huge fight one time about that; she asserted that my life was bad because I was asking for it), and then I cry for about an hour, or wait for the stomach upset to pass (being on campus for more than an hour or two often causes me to be sick to my stomach.) Perhaps the most terrible side-effect of dealing with a fundamentally happier population is the fact that they see the difference between their experience and yours, and have no problem attributing everything from the JFK assassination to UFO visits to you, because if your life is that far outside their experience, obviously you could do anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm being sarcastic so that I don't have to curl up in a ball on the bed and shake for awhile. As I informed a particularly harassing group of girls the other day, I am not in college for the popularity contest, I'm here to learn. So sorry you don't like  me. Sarcasm is most definitely not the most mature reaction to harassment, but it is one of the best I know how to generate on short notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My university experience has been terrible, thanks to this woman and the quality and quantity of things she is willing to say about me. At the end of the day, after I've looked at the differences in our experiences, tried to figure out what I've done that might have annoyed her and otherwise soul searched, I am left with the fact that someone I trusted has done everything in her power to ruin my professional career and alienate me from my classmates. She has behaved in an insane fashion, doing things that make no sense and are obviously lies and lapses of professional judgment. Things that don't make any sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my partner last night why he thought I was having this problem. He said it was because I don't back down. I don't even know what she might be upset about. I've asked. Perhaps it is the inability to back down. So far, no one has been able to beat it out of me, and everyone from my folks to strangers have had a go at it. On some fundamental level, I have hope. As long as I have hope, hope that my behavior matters, hope that I may, someday, make things better for someone; as long as I have hope, I can stand on my decisions. While the last few days have done much to extinguish that hope, to dent and smear my sense of place and self, it only does so in a way I understand. I have been here before (first time in my life I've been glad of going to private schools), and I can last it out. And perhaps, because despite my overwhelming cynicism, a small corner of me believes that it matters. It matters if I try to do the right thing and not if anyone notices. It matters that I try to do the right thing and if I continue to try and be kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hell, so far this hasn't been all that bad. No one's even taken a swing at me yet. I mean, I wanted to work with kids and the slander attached to my name will probably keep me from doing so. I was volunteering down in the valley and teaching a free creative writing class, as a remedy to the lack of holistic thinking that is a result of having to 'teach to the test,' and now I can't. I have no way of knowing whether or not I'll be able to teach adults thanks to this. I had to switch dissertation directors, and even though I am not happy about the subjects I can't discuss, if he hadn't picked up my dissertation, I'd be unable to graduate. For the last two years, I've been temporarily homeless twice (can't take very many hours at jobs), I've been treated like dirt and taken shit from my family, from people I thought were my friends, and my ex-husband's family, because going to school is obviously a sign (that they were looking for one or anything) that I don't love my kids, because I haven't run out and gotten a real job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on. I suppose I could view this as a chance to know what's in me; they say that when you are under pressure, you find out what's in you. Who am I, then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopeful. And insanely determined. The rest someone observing me would have to speak for, since the emotion most often running through me at this point is stubbornness (which tends to make it hard to listen to other emotions.) I've given up much to go to school, and I will graduate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure what I'll do then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-7805194451764218218?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/7805194451764218218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=7805194451764218218&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7805194451764218218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7805194451764218218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/in-case-of-slander-break-glass.html' title='in case of slander, break glass'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-4252425242492158828</id><published>2008-03-17T19:39:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T19:39:51.442-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I am a booze snob.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/booze" style="color: #8A7A70; text-decoration: none; display: block; width: 158px; height: 94px; padding-left: 65px; padding-top: 128px; background: url(http://assets.justsayhi.com/badges/341/847/booze.yh74tsjvqn.jpg) no-repeat; font-family: Times New Roman, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;97%&lt;span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial;"&gt;ALCOHOLIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-4252425242492158828?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/4252425242492158828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=4252425242492158828&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4252425242492158828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4252425242492158828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-am-booze-snob.html' title='I am a booze snob.'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-3466631192451161576</id><published>2008-03-17T14:46:00.007-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-18T12:48:01.567-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The life of Troy Davis</title><content type='html'>I am on the Amnesty International email list for various concerns, &lt;a href="http://www.amnestyusa.org/Our_Issues/Death_Penalty/page.do?id=1011005&amp;n1=3&amp;n2=28"&gt;including this kind&lt;/a&gt;, the death penalty. I won't recap the macro-arguments against it, as I'm sure anyone reading this will be familiar with them. I wish to concentrate on Mr. Davis, who has been sentenced to die, &lt;a href="http://www.wsav.com/midatlantic/sav/home.apx.-content-articles-SAV-2007-07-14-0005.html"&gt;despite&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FRap%2BMusic%2Farticles%2F641%2FBlack%2BAugust%2BSavannah%2BGA%2BTroy%2BDavis%2BAugust&amp;URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.troyanthonydavis.org%2F"&gt;local&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/15/us/15execute.html?_r=2&amp;adxnnl=1&amp;oref=slogin&amp;adxnnlx=1205788359-JRJYWsrw4/fjhw10JflZuw"&gt;and&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1643384,00.html?cnn=yes"&gt;national&lt;/a&gt; support for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Davis is sentenced to die for the death of a police officer, Mark Allen MacPhail, at a Burger King in Savannah. There's a little problem with it, though; actually, there are several.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no physical evidence against Mr. Davis, including the lack of a murder weapon. None. Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other problem is that out of nine witness, seven recanted utterly, and one of the other two was the prime suspect. Two of the seven who recanted came forward with affidavits swearing that they were coerced by police officers into testifying against Davis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last problem is the most troubling and the most likely of the reasons for Davis to have been railroaded. Mr Davis is black.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, this is going to be one of those posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Davis is black, and despite the fact that he was slated to go into the Marines, despite the fact that he was a Police Athletic League coach and ostensibly doing everything he had to do in order to be a 'good' member of society, he was still both black and convenient. In the rush to blame and convict a cop killer, Davis ended up on death row before anyone had time to do much but say 'huh?' Davis appealed the verdict in 2004 and today, using the seven recanted testimonies as well as the affidavits sworn by the two bullied witness. These affidavits also implicate the prime suspect, one of the witnesses who has not recanted. Davis was turned down both times on technicalities pertaining to jurisdiction and is now waiting for another execution date. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Davis has been on death row for 16 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much can be said of a nation based on how those who need help are treated. And Davis needs our help. There are many things going wrong in this election season, many things which distract us and frustrate us and make us fixate on the things immediately around us or so far outside our reach we feel helpless to change them. As a nation, we are frightened for our futures. We are scared for the people we love, for our next meal. We are afraid for our homes and bank accounts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is a bright side to these uncertainties: in great uncertainty, there is great opportunity for change. We can shape our future out of the uncertainty of right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What kind of nation are we? We have been a nation with great moments and great people, from casual kindness to strangers in donations of money and time, donations to countries in need because we wished a stranger on another continent well. We have been changed by fiery speeches and sermons which motivate us to care for one another, to stride into the future shouldering the burden of equality and hope. And it is a burden, a work that is difficult to accomplish. We have been people, individual people who have decided to make the world around us a better place. We have had many reasons to be proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have also been a nation of shameful secrets, of torture and war, of lynchings and the execution of men who were clearly innocent, simply because we said we would, or to fulfill the appearance of being interested in justice. Is justice what you can call this convenient execution? We have been a nation more interested in the appearance of being right than of doing what it takes to be right because we were tired, or we felt overwhelmed, or we were wounded and afraid, threatened by a loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this can change. Today, right now, this can change. Do not listen to the voice of cynicism which tells you to be complacent, that nothing will ever change and we will soldier on into a bleak future. Do not ever listen to the voice which whispers that the death of a few will not affect the lives of the many. Do not live in the comfort of knowing that you will not be affected, because it is a lie. Do not listen to the voice of fear which tells you that you should not even try to change your lives, that nothing means anything, anymore. Do not retreat, pulling your anonymity over your head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time of change, this tumult is an opportunity, and every single gesture you make brings us all closer to an America of equality and justice, or an America which continues to cannibalize the lives of LGBT people, of minorities, of the poor and middle class. This is an unprecedented time, in which it is possible to save a man's life with a sentence and a mouse click, without ever seeing him face to face. Justice may be served, made clear and within the reach of everyone, no matter their color, their sex, their preferences. It can be made clear by you and me and our commitment to the future. This is a time to stand up, as everything falls down due to greed, to apathy, to hopelessness and do every little thing you can to build a different kind of tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe in this. I believe that we can change Troy's life, that these gestures and actions can change our own. I am sick to death of apathy and hopelessness. I am sick to death of watching people die for no reason, of watching the people around me drown in apathy and fear. I will &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; have it. I will not have you afraid to leave your homes, afraid to speak to one another. I will not have you paralyzed and weakened by those who would take advantage of you. I will not have Troy Davis executed over nothing. This cannot be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you follow the link from the top of this post, you will come to the Amnesty International site on the death penalty. Davis' case is the top issue. I urge you, in the strongest way I know how, to begin making these gestures, to begin to stand up to the fear and the hopelessness and refuse to have it, both for your own sake and for his. We can be a nation of heroes without leaving our chairs and I yearn for it. I yearn to see us unafraid. But we have to do even little things, practicing one by one the actions which will free us. And what a thing to do, to try and save a man's life. We can be a nation of heroes, a nation of the great.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-3466631192451161576?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/3466631192451161576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=3466631192451161576&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3466631192451161576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3466631192451161576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/life-of-troy-davis.html' title='The life of Troy Davis'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-6607390905849243556</id><published>2008-03-17T12:02:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T12:26:32.025-06:00</updated><title type='text'>why writing is easily as much work as anything else...</title><content type='html'>even though you don't necessarily sweat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just finished writing the blow by blow of being molested, the fallout and one of the ways I chose to deal with it. It took me two weeks, and I cried and shook and was ill (including insomnia, nausea, more irritability than normal and now homicidal rage.) I have written about it before, summarized, on the blog, but never in scene (meaning the blow by blow, so to speak.) I just turned it in and it goes up for discussion in workshop next week because I am insane, and to my dissertation director in two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to do this, I had to research, spend a lot of time trying to remember things that (frankly) I never want to think in that kind of detail about, again, and try to keep an audience in mind while thinking about being molested, the equivalent of juggling with nitroglycerin (messy in terms of self-esteem and prone to blowing up in my face.) I have been exceedingly lucky to have been remodeling the house my friend left in the mean time, giving me something to do with myself while I thought (other than take care of the kids, which occasionally brings up memories as I try not to be the asshole I know how to be.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's dark back there. I've tried (I think successfully), to go back and be, mentally, that nine and ten year old, with the same feelings of helplessness, despair and awkward inability to be loved, so that I can convincingly write about it. The result of which is hard to read, I hope in an emotional but not technical sense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I turn these things in, it is always with the feeling of exploiting myself. To some degree I am, because I am sharing my own experiences (better exploiting me than exploiting you) and because I am sharing really, really unpleasant experiences with an audience. I joke sometimes that I might as well be flashing people, for all the privacy I strive to show myself. I'm getting better, as I understand it, at not writing a martyred story. It is a terrible thing, but necessary, to ask someone who has been abused to sympathize with their abusers. It is something I've never even had anyone admit is hard, or really trying, to me. You spend your entire life asserting (especially, if like me, you tried to tell and no one cared) that something did happen, and then you have to go and try to humanize someone that you don't know as human. Literature demands, no matter how much it wounds you, that you be fair to everyone. Implicate, implicate, self-implicate. You're dirty, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though it's never that simple. We're supposed to expose everyone's warts and let the reader decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever try to explain evil? It is not easy, and I am invested in maintaining that evil, since so much of my personal damage stems from being cast as evil and trying to maintain the pretense of being secretly good. I think a lot of my drive to try and make the world a better place comes from being accused of being inherently evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that the stories will turn into something that people with similar experiences can read and feel as if they are not alone and people without those kinds of experiences can read and understand something of those experiences (other than that some people are 'just fucked up.' I hear that, I feel like a failure, even though sometimes that's as deep as the reader can go.) It is my understanding, from the theories I've read, that believing you have a particular effect on your readers is a little naive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I contend that there's no reason to write, otherwise. Why bother? I want anyone who picks me up to be affected. I want to change your life. Or else, why bother? (My inner writer's workshop insists, at this point, that I add the fact that I do write for myself, but only because I have a jones for your affection and a control fixation.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-6607390905849243556?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6607390905849243556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=6607390905849243556&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6607390905849243556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/6607390905849243556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/why-writing-is-easily-as-much-work-as.html' title='why writing is easily as much work as anything else...'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-6173415755534780726</id><published>2008-03-16T23:13:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-16T23:22:03.491-06:00</updated><title type='text'>goddamn, I don't know who you are, but I love you</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKdcJfIM-tE&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKdcJfIM-tE&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iamtrex.com/?p=516"&gt;(yoinked from IamTRex, thank you.)&lt;/a&gt; I love this woman.

I restrained myself, with enough effort that it was not pretty, to yelling and cursing. Relationships have a character, after a time. Gestures that would not, to a neutral observer, seem what they are to the people in the relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably the nastiest thing you can do to anyone is to pretend to be reasonable while front and end loading your comments with insults. Tonight's beauts were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we called you an axe murderer and said that's what we thought you would be to the family therapist while we were arguing over custody, what we really meant was we were worried for you. You just took it wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your (oldest) daughter is depressed and we notice that when she comes back from your house, she seems agitated. 'Things' are there that weren't there before. (For the record, my parents are homophobic, religious wingnuts. That might have something to do with it. My father kept talking about the 'difference of atmosphere.')&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They entered my house through the door without waiting to be asked in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father tried to enlist my partner and any time he was in the room, my father talked to him and pretended I did not exist. This is nothing new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We apologize to you all the time. What, do you want us to commit suicide? Would that make you happy? (I pointed out that I often get variations of 'I'm sorry but you made me,' 'I'm sorry but none the stuff you remember happened,' 'I'm sorry but you took it the wrong way,' 'I'm sorry but here's an insult to remind you of your place, you slut.' But those don't count and neither of them remember anything like that.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came here to enlist you in a team (despite the fact that we've decided she needs to be on meds and refused to look at any of the studies you sent us showing the dangers and unanswered questions around giving a child going through puberty psychoactive drugs that have never been tested on girls going through puberty. Oh, and the therapist who's been seeing her thinks she's doomed and won't listen to any contrary opinions. More drugs! The therapy is working great!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't understand why you might be angry; you're just holding on to things and we're trying so hard to get along. (I mean, we've been polite and everything. We even showed up smiling. As my father put it, isn't the right to be happy in the Constitution?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you who have the passive-aggressive parents will recognize these kinds of things. Perhaps the part that is most frustrating to me is the portion with the exasperated, 'but we've apologized. What else do you want?' I don't think I'll ever outgrow the desire to be loved, but everyone on earth will have to pardon me if I am reluctant to take a half-assed apology from a pair of people who have spent my entire life, thus far, insulting me (no one will ever love you, fatty; you're not pretty, you're interesting looking. sometimes a guy will like that, but make sure to let him feel superior and hide your brains), wrestling with custody, reminding me that, as my father put it in front of my ex-husband, his father, his step-mother, my kids and everyone who was within range of his voice, I was such a slut they needed to install a revolving door on my bedroom and who wants a kid to be raised by that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the sad thing? The really sad thing? If I ever thought they were actually sorry, I'd give it try number 12, at this point, and try to talk to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe, as my dad reminded me, I just need to grow up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I'm concerned, not hitting them, breaking anything or drinking after they left means I'm ahead of the game.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-3884522831110865120?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/3884522831110865120/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=3884522831110865120&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3884522831110865120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3884522831110865120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/shoot-me-now-would-be-good.html' title='shoot me. now would be good.'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-5044842705918104687</id><published>2008-03-13T12:16:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-21T21:42:16.795-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how to stop Recession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='long-term planning 2008 election'/><title type='text'>it begins</title><content type='html'>And a thank you to Incertus, for pointing it out. *dons tin foil hat* The title of the post should warn you that I am about to engage in some speculation, and the link to the post header should warn you what kind of speculation I will be engaging in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question, &lt;a href="http://www.pbs.org/nbr/site/onair/transcripts/080312a/"&gt;dismissed by Bush&lt;/a&gt;, is essentially moot at this point: he can call it anything he bloody well pleases, and probably will, &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;aid=6750"&gt;no matter what&lt;/a&gt;. There is a relatively simple equation to keep in mind here: desperation + dwindling resources + hopelessness = riot. Every fucking time. Check history. Push people enough and they won't care if they could die doing it. A mob is not a smart animal, but it is a destructive one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent some time this last summer watching the sub-prime bubble be uncovered and wishing I could drink. Unfortunately, I was heavily pregnant with the last kid. Thank god for tubal ligations. (By the by, I resent the implications that the thing suddenly appeared in the language of the reports on it. It's been twenty years in the making.) &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/part-two-the-united"&gt;The total debt incurred by this clusterfucktastrophe has risen to nearly 1 trillion dollars.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7193915.stm"&gt;possible&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7300017.stm"&gt;collapse&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7188909.stm"&gt;of&lt;/a&gt; all the involved banks and the implications on a society that imports a large percentage of its basic commodities and labor, even to the point of exporting the labor to process the raw goods, are dire. If we lost the ability to import, but no longer had the facilities to process the materials we still produce, coupled with gas prices probably rising to the point that freighting or flying in the same goods would no longer be cost effective, even with the vast majority of the costs shifted to the consumer, we would be looking at the inability to get goods outside an area which could be considered 'at reasonable cost,' or fairly locally. And even the local stuff is liable to be prohibitive; the US consumer is accustomed to bearing a large share of the rising cost. Remember, at least part of the cost is both to ourselves, as a lot more people drive than walk, at least around here, and to the companies handling the transportation (or in house, whoever's doin' it.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that the FDIC just &lt;a href="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19307.htm"&gt;quietly and legally reduced&lt;/a&gt; their responsibility to compensate people whose banks go under. That, if nothing else, is a sign the FDIC believes in hysteria, aka &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_run"&gt;a run on the bank&lt;/a&gt;. They can &lt;a href="http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=5979"&gt;point&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href="http://www.american.com/archive/2007/june-0607/maxing-out-on-debt-hysteria"&gt;finger&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/69539"&gt;blame&lt;/a&gt; where they like, and have, but it doesn't make the boiling water we're sitting any less likely to cook us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would be possibly also looking at a withdrawal; &lt;a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070228-8940.html"&gt;major&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/company-activities-management/financial-performance/5318826-1.html"&gt;brand&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2008/03/10/daily28.html"&gt;names&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.playthings.com/article/CA6473597.html"&gt;possibly&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://retail.freedomblogging.com/2008/03/11/foot-locker-to-close-140-stores/"&gt;withdrawing&lt;/a&gt; from areas that are prone to higher shipping costs (Albuquerque springs to mind.) There are plenty more companies; these are the first that came up on Google. Stores that have made their name on variety and use a majority of imported goods to stock shelves will be hardest hit. Think WalMart, and remember that past profit projections and margins are not, repeat not applicable; the conditions have shifted. Googling the terms 'WalMart' and 'closing' will net you 733,000 hits, the first few of which, as of today, pertain to WalMart closing down a store in Quebec, the first ever to be unionized. There has been a societal move away from organizations designed to protect workers as well as a business world move. The ramifications of the closings (a few among many) above are widespread. And before anyone goes to the records for Walmart to try and undermine my prediction, I'd like to point out that you'll have to go back further than 1962, when Wal Mart was founded, to make predictions for the current economic conditions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thinking 1929-40 in terms of &lt;a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/19/documentary-examines.html#comments"&gt;prediction&lt;/a&gt;, but I doubt many of the current banking people at the level the real screw ups happened here have enough personal involvement with the finances to throw themselves out of buildings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that I'm bitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the stores and brands don't withdraw outright, we might be looking at &lt;a href="http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sec/587355313.html"&gt;armed&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2003/12/whole_foods_and.php"&gt;guards&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/food-stores/4256864-1.html"&gt;for&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lpwire.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/grocery-store-fights-back-against-shoplifting-wwwprivateofficercom/"&gt;our&lt;/a&gt; shopping &lt;a href="http://cbs13.com/local/Grocery.Store.Employee.2.597163.html"&gt;safety&lt;/a&gt;. Or when we go to &lt;a href="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2007/dec/11/churches-mixed-over-armed-guards/"&gt;church&lt;/a&gt; (for those of you that do.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the event of the loss of major portions of access to food, basic goods (like soap), and a steeply rising draw on the severely cut budgets of programs designed to provide emergency food and housing, people will respond in the ways that seem obvious to them, sometimes violently. *cough-riots-cough* I have some question, as the currency inflates, about the accessibility and ethical oversight of public utilities, should the scrip the government uses to pay public workers become more unstable. If it becomes unstable enough, coupled with periodic outbursts, we might be looking at a complete crackdown or another withdrawal. No one wants to endanger their lives for free. Ditto on the utilities for neighborhoods with 'problems.' Despair makes people do ugly things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told my partner about these projections and he refused to speak to me for a day afterwards. The above are just a few guesses. I got more, but I'll hold on to them. The good news is this can be avoided. And I think I know how. I'll post that a bit later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-5044842705918104687?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/sfl-312vouchers,0,5039730.story' title='it begins'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5044842705918104687/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=5044842705918104687&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5044842705918104687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5044842705918104687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/it-begins.html' title='it begins'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-5668745243575056520</id><published>2008-03-12T22:13:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T22:27:32.177-06:00</updated><title type='text'>lol devil kitteh</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R9iqPdplhbI/AAAAAAAAAB8/4ZPlCNz2SYI/s1600-h/funny-pictures-crazy-ebay-cat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R9iqPdplhbI/AAAAAAAAAB8/4ZPlCNz2SYI/s200/funny-pictures-crazy-ebay-cat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177074954296198578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, seriously, this is the single best lolcat I have &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ever&lt;/span&gt; seen.

It has been freaking foul. She found out a few months ago that she has a rare condition that is a precursor to cancer of the esophagus. The survival rate is low. She can't swallow. She was flown, by her family, back out to Texas to get tests and so hat they could help her watch her daughter. She left her boyfriend (she pays the rent) to take care of her pets and the house while she was there, in preparation for moving back to Texas to be with her family. While she was gone, the two months she was gone, he and his friends, by way of telling her he'd like to break up with her, did not let the dogs out to crap or piss for both months, built a fire in the backyard and tore the fence up to do it, kicked holes in the walls, shattered beer bottles against the walls in the house, and, it goes without saying, didn't clean any of it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for the last two days, I've been painting, mopping (the urine and feces have crystalized and dried, meaning that the 2400 square feet of floor has had to be scraped before mopped), patching the walls, retexturing the various pits, bumps and scrapes, and helping get the broken furniture out of the house so that it could be run to the dump. The boyfriend in question has been lazily removing the things of his he felt like moving and bitching about her. I have been considering a sucker punch for him. To the nose. She, unfortunately, has been crying about him and trying to get him back, and occasionally saying she'd never want to see him again. Even though it is mostly because of his daughter and how her future will be affected by a daughter who will only see her father when he feels like it, something the boyfriend's own father did to him, we have been encouraging her to sue for child support (not that she'll get any) and to remove his rights, because he would not, at this point, be able to take care of his daughter and having his daughter wait for him to show and be disappointed would not be fair to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any situation in which something like this happens, the friends of the person to whom it happened have a choice. I could have refused to show, if nothing else because it seems (as it usually does in these situations) that everyone knew he was a shit except her. I could refuse because this puts me days behind on dissertation writing. I could refuse because the inside of the house has fumes so strong that I chemical burned the skin of my face after yesterday's twelve hour day, something I knew was going to happen from the odor the first time I saw the damage. I could also have lectured her about how stupid she's been the whole time. Certainly I was there because I would like to rent the place when it's finished. Among other things, I paint. My supplies have been in storage for a year or so now because there's no where to set up. The place was once a wood shop and has a huge workshop attached to it, and both my girls are musicians (saxophone and piano) and dancers (jazz and ballet) and have been without a practice space while I have them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, as I had time to contemplate while painting the 14 foot walls yesterday, what does it say about friendship? No matter how I feel about it, at the end of the day my 95 lbs dripping wet friend, who cannot eat and is being forced to do most of the work herself, is crouched over the crystalized mess in the workshop, scraping away. At then end of the day, her good-for-nothing boyfriend (I want to say sperm-donor, but hey, let's be genteel) is still whining at her and complaining because he does not actually want to have to move his stuff (although why he would still want to stay there, I don't know.) I could have bitched and moaned the whole time (and to some extent, I'm bitching here), but can you stiff your friends this way? And what does it say if you have the ability to help and you stand back and tell the people around you that you basically don't want to help them so they can enjoy their consequences/punishment and 'learn their lesson.' Maybe I'm sensitive to this because  when I had my daughter, my family basically threw their hands up en masse and told me to do everything myself. I didn't know how to change a diaper when I took her home. I was gratified to find out that hospitals do parenting classes now and actually make sure you know what a car seat is and how to use one. I couldn't even ask anyone what that noise meant. The answer, for the most part, was 'you had her, you learn.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shouldered through, my oldest and I, but I did a god awful job of care at first. I didn't know how to change a diaper, so I frequently missed poop when I changed her and as a result, she had a chronic diaper rash for awhile there. I burned her mouth at least once when I transitioned to formula because I didn't know the 'test it on the inside of your wrist' trick. I had no idea how to do all those things and panicked a lot, something anyone with kids will be able to identify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess one of the questions I feel compelled to ask, when I am asked for help is who will get screwed if I don't help. When I have taken care of someone's kids for them, when I have hidden a woman from her partner, when I have fed someone using my student loans or been exhausted and tried to cheer someone up anyway, when I have driven across country with someone to give them another driver (if I have the kid-free time) despite the fact that I know I can't afford to eat on the trip, if I give up something for someone, who am I screwing? I have and often use the ability to say no, and occasionally 'go fuck yourself.' But there are situations where I, in good conscience, cannot abstain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case could be made that I am enabling my friend's bad behavior. I suppose. Of course, she is going to move back in with her family, she is still waiting for the results of the last biopsy to know if she has a fairly fatal form of cancer, and I would like to move into that space (it's seriously cheap in rent because it's down in  the poorest part of Albuquerque and I want the studio space.) So yesterday, as my shoulders were burning and I had paint on everything and I was covered in soapy curls of urine, I thought about what being her friend meant to me. I met her through my partner, whom she got the best job he's ever had. In the time I've met her, she's given us tons of clothes her daughter grew out of (doesn't hurt a little boy to wear some pink), a high chair and a swing. At eight o clock at night, she's swaying on her feet in the driveway and trying to give us kid clothes and another piece of baby furniture, in case we need them or to give to someone else or sell at a used clothes place if we need the money. I've been on my feet since seven ten that morning, my nose has shut down in self-defense, I haven't eaten since eleven and I'm all but dead. She goes to hug me, and I give her that brief squeeze I've learned to do to people, and she hugs back harder, clinging to me. She's all of five foot nothing and so bony I'm a little afraid for her, and she comes up on her toes and keeps saying thank you in my ear. So I hold her back. The whole time, I'm thinking, goddamn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's exactly what I mean. So I held her back because she's my friend and because she and I and my partner have made a culture of generosity, passing help back and forward and trying to make each other's lives better. And in her ear I thank her back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goddamn.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-430132857779091457?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/430132857779091457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=430132857779091457&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/430132857779091457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/430132857779091457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/whats-friend.html' title='what&apos;s a friend?'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-3003706377251977074</id><published>2008-03-06T10:44:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T12:35:03.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>living with a history of violence</title><content type='html'>This is a complicated issue, so I'll probably be breaking this down into sections. This particular section is about rape and, at least elliptically, about making yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the incidents that will go into my dissertation (because it is both nonfiction and considered interesting) happened right after we moved back to the states from Okinawa. Okinawa was where I met John the preacher's son, but that's another &lt;a href="http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/01/terrible-price-of-desire.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;. I can only guess that my parents were disappointed with me, because I got into trouble a lot after I told everyone what John was up to. On the plus side, one of the nonillion times I was grounded, I read a dictionary and figured out what the things my mother was calling me meant and had a brief interlude where I thought that perhaps what had happened with John meant that I was getting an allowance in order to have that kind of thing done to me. The Webster's definition of whore is a woman (yes, I know there are men that do, now) who takes money for sex acts. I figured since I was supposed to not tell anyone what was happening, and because John gave me gifts and I got my allowance from the same parents who beat 'Jesus owns your vagina' and 'don't embarrass the important people' into me, that the allowance was payment of some description. I was fuzzy on the specifics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we got back to the states, we moved to a little town in east Texas, Greenville. I hear it's gotten much larger since then. In the early nineties, it was a fairly smallish place with E Systems like a cancer on its side. My father was employed by E Systems for most of my childhood. The frequency with which I got in trouble got to the point where it was daily, and since I was grounded, even sitting in my room staring at the wall would not prevent me from being punished, something that ranged from getting smacked with something (or whatever was handy), getting bent over something and more formally spanked (my mother in particular used to break things like that; she would take me shopping and ask me what she should get to break on me while she was out; I still find oak spoons a little frightening) or being sent to bed without dinner, grounded from, etc. It wasn't so much punishments that were unfamiliar to what I thought other kids were getting so much as it was the frequency and severity. I was in I want to say fourth or fifth grade at the time, and there were days I couldn't sit right at school and had to be careful what showed. A lot of days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, I decided, right after we moved, that my parents did not love us (my brother and I) and would only hurt us. As the oldest sibling, I had always been told he was my responsibility, a duty I accepted gladly by getting in trouble so that they (my parents) would be distracted from whatever he did. I could not stand the sound of them hitting him. I also beat people up at school if they hurt him. I broke the ribs on the principal's son with a History textbook that year for trying to bully him. The spine on most books is very reinforced. He was my little brother, and I was determined not to let him be hurt. Which left me with a problem, right, because I was in no way big enough to actually prevent anyone from doing anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has a point, I promise. I'll interpret for you momentarily. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I decided to kill my parents. I waited until they were both home and asleep (Dad was never home, so this took some waiting. I stopped sleeping a long time ago, as much because night was the only time I could be alone as the fact that my nightmares were so bad there was no point in trying to relax.) I decided to wear as little as possible, both to make it hard for me to be grabbed and because I figured it would be messy. I decided to call the cops from their phone by the bed and not to bother with cleaning up, since I was likely to go straight to jail for this. But I did look up my grandmother's number because they needed to know where to send my brother, who I figured was probably better off without me. There was something twisted in my head that I didn't want to share with him, and I could often feel it slithering through my mind when I looked at my parents and the other kids I went to school with, when I looked at the pets. I didn't want to let it out, but if I was going to, it would be at people I knew wanted to hurt us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember seeing the Menendez brothers on television, but it had to have been the re-cast of their trial, because the original murder was in 1989 and I don't think I was in the states at that point. I knew I could do it better; they were clumsy. I got up, I think around three in the morning. My memory is fuzzy on some things and not on others. I was wearing a pair of panties and my favorite t shirt, florescent pink with black stick figures dancing on it, for luck. I crept through the house. I'd been doing dry runs for weeks to see how to get through the house silently and to see if I could do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could. I crept into the kitchen, dog walking beside me, and got the filet knife out of the block. Then I went back to their bedroom, at the end of the hall. They had a white door, cracked open so that they could hear us sleep. From previous experience, I knew their door had no creaks, so I could push it open without much noise at all. I could hear them snoring. I pushed the dog away, opened their door and stood there, in the dark hall, watching them sleep. The big window in their bedroom faced the street, so there was enough light to see them pretty well, throwing a long, bluish shadow across the top of the comforter they picked up in Japan. It was beige, with branches, some small birds and bright pink flower explosions at intervals. They slept on their backs, shoulder to shoulder. His head was tilted back more than hers. I was grateful, because my dad is much, much bigger than my mother and I wanted to do him first. I walked into the room, approaching her side of the bed, which was closest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they woke up, what would I say to them? I resolved that I was being a coward. It needed to be done and therefore I should do it. Would they scream? Probably. I'd never cut anything's throat before. I was basically just going to guess and slice. The ceiling fan above their heads circled lazily, and I wondered if the spray would get it wet. I'd read a book on anatomy in preparation and knew that the pressure on the jugular, in particular, was highly pressurized. But I'd felt my own neck, and there was a lot of stuff in there that wasn't the jugular. And I wasn't sure I could hit it. My mother gave a particularly loud snore and rolled over. I jumped but didn't drop the knife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked around to my dad's side of the bed, closest to the window. I raised the knife, watching his face twitch in his sleep. I can only attribute the following to luck or a strange lucidity I sometimes get in the presence of danger. The knife handle in my hand seemed heavy. They were going to take me to jail. I was never going to get out of jail. I would not have a life, anymore. I would be a number in one of those ugly jumpers. Would my brother be happier at my grandmother's? I was pretty sure he would be. And whether or not I would be happy in jail didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they'd be right. My mother's pet name for me, at the time, was monster. I was a monster like my dad, she said. If I killed them, they'd always be right and I'd be nothing but a monster. Always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't want to be a monster. I wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be me. I wanted to live, goddamn it. And be free. I wanted to be free and not to have to carry them with me everywhere I went, a stain on my permanent record, a stain on my soul. If I killed them, they'd own me in more ways than they already did. They owned my body, they were keeping it for Jesus, but I wanted to own my mind. And my soul. My me. I would own me, and no one else was going to take it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked to the end of the bed and sat, just below the edge of the bed on the floor, ducking down so that I could not be seen. Was this what I would be? Above my head, my dad stirred in his sleep, fear running down me in that unpleasantly cold thrill from the crown of my head to my feet, making my hands shake on the handle. He settled back in and I snuck out of the room. I returned the knife and went back to standing in their door, watching them sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it hit me. The night was mine. They owed their lives to me and would every time they fell asleep. Not that I could tell them that. But it was something to hold on to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In retrospect, I came within inches of being a serial killer several times growing up. This becomes funny when I went to family therapy (I give up, now) a few years back and my mother said to the therapist that they always thought I'd grow up to be an axe murderer. How very close I came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this have to do with violence and rape? Well, other than the obvious, I mentioned the above to show that I have an attachment to violence. It seems to me that no matter how much analysis I subject myself to (both personal and the poor therapists I enlist), there will always be a part of me that attests to the efficacy of violence, how sometimes it can indeed solve problems. I'm not so blind as to say it doesn't make others, but I can tell you the principal's kid never bugged my brother again. Wouldn't even look at him. And that knowing what I could do made some of what happened after that night a little easier to bear. But only because I didn't kill them. I still don't know why I could see forward into a prison cell. Kids don't usually have that kind of clarity, and I feel a little fake even writing this because kids don't have that kind of clarity. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, this becomes relevant because I have experienced rape, and twice I have hit someone where it hurts (very, very hard and quickly) or talk them out of it and gotten away. Of course, that makes my success rate about 20%, but I hold on to the idea that I have an effect on the world I live in, even though it is not always true. Oddly enough, the time I was homeless, I had less problem with some of this and more with others. Of course, I went for the don't look at me approach and shaved my head, camouflaged my tits (which weren't terribly big to start with), didn't bathe and generally went for as scary as possible. It helped with some things and not with others. Still had a problem with strangers approaching me, but not the strangers I'd attracted before. Because of experience, I identify myself as being tough, as being basically capable of defending myself and my children in ways that people who don't have these experiences would not even think of. Sometimes, this is not helpful. In a world that makes little sense to me, sometimes, I hold on to the idea that I am a tough bitch. And that my boundaries, my skin, my place is mine and no one can take it from me. It's a lie I tell myself often. But I own more of me than most people own of themselves, thanks to time, experience and my personality. And luck. Jesus, I'm lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes the times I was unable to defend myself more horrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We live in a culture that emphasizes the self-made individual. To the extent that it's possible for a woman to make herself, I make me. I make me everyday. But that final surety, the one I cling to, the surety that tells me that I can always and ever defend my boundaries, is not a thing I can logically cling to. I have always resented the rhetoric of people who want to cushion you or give you space/make you grieve. Even though I know this is not the best assumption, it angers me because it pretends you have time to grieve, that you can allow your life to shut down so you can grieve, and that it matters what happens to you. Logically, I know that experience differs. I know that sometimes you do have the time, space and helpers. I know that not everyone who espouses that is interested in trying to make you be a victim or damaged your entire life and that often people don't understand why or how you get up the next morning and get on with your life, no matter how dead you feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emotionally, it makes me feel like a freak. As if I was supposed to lay down and die just for that, for rape, of all the things I could lay down and die for. Rape, in my landscape, is not the biggest boogeyman. But it is unique. It forces my sense of self, my hard-won toughness and the experiences I am proud to have lived with, against myself. That is the violation which bothers me. My body? I have become accustomed, for bad or good, to laying that on the line for things. This is not a good thing, but it happens. But the same soul, the same mind I saved by refusing to kill my folks is damaged by rape. It makes me ugly to myself in the mirror, as stupid as that is. But I was convinced I should have, could have done more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And every time I see more toughness propaganda, it makes me despair a little (nobody worry; I'm not suicidal, just pissy). Because there are things toughness helps, just as there are times for breaking down, but the propaganda just glamorizes a zero sum game. I can't win with the dudes because girls aren't tough (and how that meme stays active, I'll never know), and I can't win with the girls because I'm such a non-conformist and aggressive as all hell. And yet I cling to the idea. It is difficult to believe anyone gives a shit and I don't have to cling to violence and a tough veneer. Because, in my experience, they really don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, I have made it a point to try and remove violence from my language; to not threaten when I'm upset. To not think about how to hurt people as a random thought, a hobby. I have tried to eliminate it utterly, but have been forced to give my violent tendencies outlet or I begin to dream every night of violence, waking up every two hours after dreaming of killing everyone I know, of killing strangers, of more things I will not elaborate on here. I think that if you've experienced a certain level of violence, it is always with you. All hours of the day and night, it is all with me; fights in school yards, my parents, getting away from people while I was homeless, the relationships gone very, very awry. I think, at 30, that I will probably always have it with me. Thank whomever for video games, because I can check in for an hour of zombie slaying and ground those feelings. I also refuse to spank the kids for that reason. There's a lot of ugly shit in there that does not need outlet there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rape is, I think, sometimes problematized by how therapists and people handle it. I have many times been told I do not handle rape correctly. I suppose so. But I'm handling it the best way I can. I don't break down much, nor can I really afford to, and mostly I'm alone when I do. I refuse to abstain from sex or walking alone (god help anyone who jumps me; I carry an asp up my sleeve) or talking about it, or hiding in my home. I won't let myself drink because of it. I won't cry for a therapist, won't act pathetic or scared (it happens sometimes whether I like it or not), and I refuse to stop examining it. But all in all, I wonder if I am seeing it awry (completely possible) or if there is something in the way rape is handled that just can't apply to me. It is completely possible that I'm wrong. I resent, however, being treated like I'm prone to breaking any minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me back to pretensions of toughness. I'm probably going to be working on this one for much longer. The solution I have so far is to try and remember that there are things I can be tough for, and things I can't be. And to keep reminding myself that not everything is my fault, but look at what I've done with what I've been given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to try not to think much about the fact that, at any time, what I have can be taken from me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-3003706377251977074?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/3003706377251977074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=3003706377251977074&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3003706377251977074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/3003706377251977074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/living-with-history-of-violence.html' title='living with a history of violence'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-5497938032857799252</id><published>2008-03-05T12:12:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-05T12:38:15.457-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Ai</title><content type='html'>I love you. Seriously. If there's ever any chance you're reading this, I'd like you to know that I love you. The following poem is yours and I have a few things to say about it and getting a education afterwards which I hope you might sympathize with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riot Act, April 29, 1992&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;I'm going out and get something.&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what.&lt;br /&gt;I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;Whatever's out there, I'm going to get it.&lt;br /&gt;Look in those shop windows at boxes&lt;br /&gt;and boxes of Reeboks and Nikes&lt;br /&gt;to make me fly through the air&lt;br /&gt;like Michael Jordan&lt;br /&gt;like Magic.&lt;br /&gt;While I'm up there, I see Spike Lee.&lt;br /&gt;Looks like he's flying too&lt;br /&gt;straight through the glass&lt;br /&gt;that separates me&lt;br /&gt;from the virtual reality&lt;br /&gt;I watch everyday on TV.&lt;br /&gt;I know the difference between&lt;br /&gt;what it is and what it isn't.&lt;br /&gt;Just because I can't touch it&lt;br /&gt;doesn't mean it isn't real.&lt;br /&gt;All I have to do is smash the screen,&lt;br /&gt;reach in and take what I want.&lt;br /&gt;Break out of prison.&lt;br /&gt;South Central homey's newly risen&lt;br /&gt;from the night of living dead,&lt;br /&gt;but this time he lives,&lt;br /&gt;he gets to give the zombies&lt;br /&gt;a taste of their own medicine.&lt;br /&gt;Open wide and let me in,&lt;br /&gt;or else I'll set your world on fire,&lt;br /&gt;but you pretend that you don't hear.&lt;br /&gt;You haven't heard the word is coming down&lt;br /&gt;like the hammer of the gun&lt;br /&gt;of this black son, locked out of this big house,&lt;br /&gt;while massa looks out the window and sees only smoke.&lt;br /&gt;Massa doesn't see anything else,&lt;br /&gt;not because he can't,&lt;br /&gt;but because he won't.&lt;br /&gt;He'd rather hear me talking about mo' money,&lt;br /&gt;mo' honeys and gold chains&lt;br /&gt;and see me carrying my favorite things&lt;br /&gt;from looted stores&lt;br /&gt;than admit that underneath my Raider's cap,&lt;br /&gt;the aftermath is staring back&lt;br /&gt;unblinking through the camera's lens,&lt;br /&gt;courtesy of CNN,&lt;br /&gt;my arms loaded with boxes of shoes&lt;br /&gt;that I will sell at the swap meet&lt;br /&gt;to make a few cents on the declining dollar.&lt;br /&gt;And if I destroy myself&lt;br /&gt;and my neighborhood&lt;br /&gt;ain't nobody's business, if I do,&lt;br /&gt;but the police are knocking hard&lt;br /&gt;at my door&lt;br /&gt;and before I can open it,&lt;br /&gt;they break it down&lt;br /&gt;and drag me in the yard.&lt;br /&gt;They take me in to be processed and charged,&lt;br /&gt;to await trial,&lt;br /&gt;while Americans forget&lt;br /&gt;the day the wealth finally trickled down&lt;br /&gt;to the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year or so back, in Poets and Writers, which I get for free from my department, I read an article on the death of political poetry. Well, no shit you think it's dead, I thought. The sheer weight of repetition killed it. Not the repetition of the motives, sliced and diced and repositioned so that the intent of the poem has been frittered away, but the repetition of the idea that being sophisticated means pretending that these kinds of things don't matter. Because if we all grow up to be jaded, we won't 'whine' or ever even talk about how life is not fair and should be changed, right? A real appreciation of life is one in which you never try to change anything, you just 'appreciate it' until it leaves you alone. You're supposed to write about something that troubles people and then castrate it until the urgency is gone by being self-consciously ironic in a way that guts the meaning. Oh woe is me that I notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the shit that handicaps poets and writers and is one of the main reasons why getting out the other end of an education makes it difficult to still make a point and why political poetry from an otherwise deft poet will shoot itself in the foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck that. Fuck it without lube or a reach around. And no fucking cuddles afterwards, either. I ain't never growing up. There is no house too comfy, no program too busy teaching me perspective, no sneering dissection of my motives that is going to make me think that feeling like I have something to say is naive, that politics are useless and that I ought to STFU and write about something proper. I am not proper and proud of it. It's taken me 30 years to get as not proper as I am and I'm not giving up on it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ai, if I may, I love you precisely for the fact that it's still there. That all the stuff you've written and I've read is still political and unabashedly violent, obscene, and holds up a mirror to shit without feeling compelled to ask during the poem, in an attempt to appear sophisticated, what's wrong with you for noticing. I fucking love you and I refuse to believe I'm being naive. I have something to say and I will make my fucking point any way I have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this does not preclude self-examination or sophistication. Plus, I get to be obscene on occasion, which is totally bonus.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-5497938032857799252?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5497938032857799252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=5497938032857799252&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5497938032857799252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5497938032857799252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/dear-ai.html' title='Dear Ai'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-7638314674899096482</id><published>2008-03-04T18:03:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-04T18:24:42.847-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I may be tired, but I hope I'm never too good to try</title><content type='html'>For the record, if there is one, I think that the purpose for an expensive education (and they're totally going to come take one of my kidneys when I graduate for what I owe in student loans) is to disseminate knowledge. This is also the charm of the intertubes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always got the impression, in my liberal arts degree, that the purpose for all that variety was to expose us to new ideas and to model for us a way of thinking and being that emphasized the ability to draw from many sources, both of which, in the traditional lib arts degree, make you a better person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the idea, though it has problems (you can expose people to tons of information without changing their minds and the definition of being a better person will vary. A lot.) But I'd like to add something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over and over again, in my reading and thinking, I have run into the idea that the education, in and of itself, is supposed to make you a better citizen. For me, at least, this means a citizen who is invested in trying to make the society which they are a part of a better place. Which means, because mine is an arts degree, that I believe one of the ways I can do that is to share the information I have and be accessible, as a volunteer, to help people. For this reason, on and off, I've tutored for programs like America Reads, and have volunteered to go to schools and teach creative writing workshops, and have brought things like photos from time periods being covered in class or by whatever piece of poetry or fiction I'm working with and left them so that the class could use them for awhile. I have created lessons in English for the Spanish speakers I've worked with and tutored people sitting in the hall, just because they had a question. I've also volunteer judged writing contests. If I can manage it and I think someone needs it, I will try very hard to help them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you this because I think this is an essential part of being a force for good in a society. And because I'd like to suggest it to people. Make yourself accessible, especially if you have a body of knowledge which is exclusive (whether that's a kick ass knowledge of car mechanics, home repair, literature or however), to other people so that if they have a question, you can try to help them. I've found it deeply rewarding (also very tiring sometimes), and it's a small step that builds community. I'd like to think that maybe I was helpful. I want to make the world a better place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, because I'm greedy, I've noticed that getting out and doing stuff has a beneficial effect on my writing and makes me have to think about what I'm doing and what I think I stand for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, I speak almost no Spanish. I think I was more comic relief than anything else to the people I was trying to help learn English. But we were all stuck doing the same monotonous job for really bad pay, and it sucks to be the only one who doesn't know what's going on in a conversation. So, who knows? I may have just been a giggle, but I'd like to think I was helpful. And now I know words in Spanish I didn't when I started work there, a lot of which are quite handy and some of which are obscene. But also handy. My boss sucked and did not speak any Spanish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-7638314674899096482?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/7638314674899096482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=7638314674899096482&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7638314674899096482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7638314674899096482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-may-be-tired-but-i-hope-im-never-too.html' title='I may be tired, but I hope I&apos;m never too good to try'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-5251354833857312569</id><published>2008-03-01T13:35:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-01T14:03:08.744-07:00</updated><title type='text'>emotional? probably. praying? sweet whomever-the-hell-is-listening, yes.</title><content type='html'>My oldest daughter stopped me today while I was reading a commentary on Gary Hubbell's little column on the plight of the poor angry white dude. It was for the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She told me that she's at least bi, she thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a mother, this is one of the best things I could hear and one of the worst. I told her I was so very proud of her, that I was happy and that I would love and support her no matter what, that she was welcome to bring friends and dates and that my home is a safe place to stay. I had to resist the urge to tear up; I've known for months after listening to her talk about boys and her female friends, after watching the way she touches and watches her best friend and after watching the obvious discomfort she feels when people talk about boy-girl relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She asked me what a transsexual was three weeks ago, and how to tell if someone was a dyke or not. I told her it's the sort of thing that is not always obvious, that she's best off getting to know people. And to always, always address people like the way they're dressed, because to do anything else is to try and deny them the thing that they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so fucking happy I could cry. I reached out to touch her head and stroke her hair, and told her I like girls, too. That's it's okay. I've been waiting for this. I am so honored she told me, that she felt safe enough to tell me and ask for my support. I think I'm going to have to throw her a little party. My sweet baby, my long, tall, blonde smarty. My brave girl. God, she's so brave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not the only reason I want to cry, though. As her mother, I cannot let her leave the conversation without telling her to be careful who she talks to about it. I cannot shield her utterly from the rejection she will get from her grandparents, the way that the family will draw back and treat her like a stranger, demand that she pretend to be something she cannot. I cannot shield her from the rejection of strangers, from the yelled, 'dyke' that I got in high school to the guys who will demand to watch her have sex, demand that she expose herself to them and try to connive or coerce her into exposure when she will not. The people that will try to force her to be more normal or threaten her because she is not. I'm trying desperately to come up with a warning that tells her to be careful but does not make her paranoid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can I tell her that the people around her, the straight people, the ones who tell her that they are her allies, will often as not refuse to defend her, will refuse her the right to be protected by the law, will turn their heads and walk away because they superstitiously believe, deep in their minds, that she could be un-harassed if she just were a little less flashy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh my sweet baby girl, it is not a nice world out there. How can I make you safe? God, baby, anything out there listening, this is my baby, my beautiful girl. Make her safe. Please, god, please anything, make her able to trust the people around her. Make them safe to trust. I see a shadow on her face when she tells me, a tightening. She tells me, already, that she knows she cannot tell many people. She cannot tell family but me. Please let that shadow be nothing but my imagination. Let her not have already heard the litany: sick, evil, queer, bitches, need a good dicking. Hell, we're all going to hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the efforts of GLBT activists, the efforts of allies and of people who care will make it possible for her to never have someone threaten to beat the gay out of her. I'm hiding my tears, hiding my fears, hiding the words I type from her because I want her to be happy. I will be there when she gets harassed, be there when she is rejected and I will be ferocious. This is my baby, world, and I will not let her be ruined.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-5251354833857312569?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5251354833857312569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=5251354833857312569&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5251354833857312569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5251354833857312569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/03/emotional-probably-praying-sweet.html' title='emotional? probably. praying? sweet whomever-the-hell-is-listening, yes.'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-5581877862589424426</id><published>2008-02-29T23:51:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-29T23:53:53.207-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is that the price of it?</title><content type='html'>(a letter between writers)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I, we know that sex &lt;br /&gt;is the thing, force that drives the green fuse&lt;br /&gt;through Dylan Thomas' flower,&lt;br /&gt;that drives the red fuse to our slick&lt;br /&gt;and dirty hearts.

I promptly stuck my head between my legs and made pathetic little noises until someone handed me a beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*eee, eee, eee, eee, chug*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps this would be a good time to state that I have been writing thinly veneered autobiographical fiction. It is helpful to write what you understand, and I've had an... interesting life, so I'd been writing fictional stories containing 90% or more of details of my own life. I chose to fictionalize it because the content is poisonous and I'm afraid of being taken less than seriously when people find out what I've been up to, and because of the effect my story is going to have on the people around me. Specifically, I am very afraid it will come up in a re-shuffling of custody arrangements and because, frankly, when you end up being the family secret keeper, it is really, really hard to convince yourself that you are not going to be beaten or otherwise punished for telling or that anyone will believe you or gives a shit. The people I told growing up, the few of them, certainly did not. My youth pastor, in Texas, told me not to be a whiner when I tried to tell him. He had a huge button that had a black circle and slash through the word 'complaining.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody likes whiners. Unless it's amusing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My marching orders are, predictably, to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. They are good orders. And I have to get this story out of the way before I can start telling the other stories I have to tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's dark back there and I'm afraid to go back in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fiction, I can pretend it all happened to a character who I can name after anyone: people I knew growing up, people I dated, names from a naming book, whomever. I have to go back as me with non-fiction, fighting the fear that comes from what I experienced and what I have been beaten into believing (I'm saying that on purpose, because even if you don't believe something, if you've been put in enough pain, you'll say what the fuck ever to make it stop. Jesus? Sure, I'll believe in anything you say. Abstinence? Well, only while you're watching.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm being funny. But it's not funny. I'm scared pissless; the worst of it is about the two people who have done to my life what the Vikings were supposed to have done to coastal English villages; my parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you freaking ever outgrow the need for approval from your family? I really shudder to think what I would keep secret if I thought that they would love me. You know, without telling me that I have to earn it by keeping my mouth shut or by agreeing with everything they say. Of course, if my parents did love me, I don't know how I could tell. And yet, and yet, some part of me, some cowardly, terrible part of me wants to keep my mouth shut because, get this, I'd hurt their feelings. How much does someone have to hurt you before you can totally shut them out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do they have to torture you? Check. Viciously abuse you? Check. Keep you awake for nearly a month to get you to sign custody papers after you tell them you're queer? Oh, double-fucking check. Tell you, the court, your sig-o and everyone in sight that you should be jealous of your own daughter, who is so much more loveable than you'll ever be? Mom does that every few months, just in case I forget. Both by just telling me and by comparing me to my daughters, petting their hair and smirking at me. Do they have to tell you that you're ugly and the only way anyone is ever going to love you is if you get lucky? Got that the first time at 12. Give you to people they knew were molesting you and beat you for being a lying slut when you talk about it? Fucking Bingo at nine or ten, my memory gets a bit fuzzy around that period. Try to get you committed when they figure out they'll never make that perfect little girl out of you? I had Yahtzee at fourteen. Being a homeless teenage hooker, which, FYI, is the rapist equivalent of winning the lottery, was a better choice than living at home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can tell myself these things until I get cross-eyed, but the minute I see them, all I want out of life is to be told, sincerely, that they love me, that they're sorry. That they don't blame me for what happened between us and they're sorry they ever told me I was just born evil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Why, for fuck's sake, do I still care? I'm thirty and there's a mom and dad shaped hole in my guts that won't ever come out and cannot be otherwise filled. It will be there until I die, but leaving it gaping is still better than trying to make them fill it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will dance on their graves if they go first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And cry for them. It wasn't enough to alienate their natural children, I'm watching them alienate their grandchildren. They seem, to me, to hunger for that familial love, both of them active church elders who teach Sunday school classes and whom small children (that they are not raising) adore. But when it's offered them, they will fuck you up for being vulnerable. There is no trick too nasty, no surprise to painful, no statement too condescending. No pleasure, no matter how small, that they will not stoop to rob me of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I graduated with my BA, my mother told me it was nice to see that I have &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt;, since I can't make a relationship with a man work. My father told me that it wasn't like I was doing real analysis or work or anything, but that he feels so much more tolerant of this kind of stuff now and he's really proud of himself for the personal growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a kid, he told me an artist was an unsuccessful whore. I was taking painting classes at the time. If I ever get a hold of a time machine, I might amuse myself by stepping back in time and saying a few things. Writing is the next best thing. I'll be retrospectively witty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's an MFA I'm earning. In writing, but still an arts degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some ways, writing about it is exquisite revenge. I could not make anything up that is nastier or more bleak. It's out there, I know it is, but I cannot imagine it. In other ways, if I can step out from under it, I'll be free. They won't be just my secrets anymore. And all the relatives who have told me to can it, accused me of trying to 'ruin their love' for my parents will have to see. Or not, if they never pick it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may lose my family. More than I already have. For telling the fucking truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I was a little girl, I've been dreaming of being able to give those experiences away. To be able to touch someone and get perfect understanding, albeit horribly, by making them see me. I have been horribly invisible. Some of you, if anyone's reading this, know what happens to invisible children. We become vessels for things, for urges and actions which no kid should have to endure, and it shapes our adult life. Sometimes it breaks us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came so close. So very, very close. And I will make other people see it. Will they hate me for it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I show you who I am, you can judge me. I will have to chance it. In some ways, I am eager to be judged, to know what I can blame on myself. I am secretive and full of judgments. I am my own hell because I have everything I've done and everything that was done to me with me almost all the time, breathing over my shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to go back into the dark. But that is where I will find myself. And I am not a child, anymore. I will go, and bring back what I find.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-5340990739500746353?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5340990739500746353/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=5340990739500746353&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5340990739500746353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/5340990739500746353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/in-which-hyperventilation-ensues.html' title='in which hyperventilation ensues'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-4811860083520413588</id><published>2008-02-07T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-07T16:05:59.627-07:00</updated><title type='text'>an open letter to drunk girls</title><content type='html'>I guess this is more about ethics than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of times now, I have been out at a party, and a very drunk woman has flirted with me, heavily (ending up sitting in my lap, stroking or grabbing at an arm and/or asking me to play with her hair), ending up disappointed with me for not going further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the deal: if you are drunk, I am absolutely not going to have sex with you unless I know, from what you've told me sober, that you are interested. And if you're too drunk or I'm too drunk, I'm not gonna have sex with you, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose it's just because I want to know you're actually interested. I've been a few people's daring date, by which I mean the date you go out with just to fuck with someone's head, and I don't like it. Even with casual sex, I'd like you to have the balls to tell me yourself, sober. I don't like being told by rumor, I hate it when someone has to get falling down drunk to ask and I worry that I'll wake up in the morning, especially because I like BDSM, and that person will have decided that what I thought was play was actually assault. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, thank you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slightly, very slightly tipsy, I don't mind as much (though I tend to not respond even then, because I worry I haven't read the person right. Some people are very good at appearing sober when they are blackout drunk. I am one of them.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, frankly, your erotic responses are better, despite popular opinion, when you are sober. I want to have sex with someone that curls their toes, makes them scream themselves hoarse, if they're the type or make little noises until I get that loud one that says I've done good enough to have made them forget to be inhibited. I want my lover, even if it's just a temporary arrangement, to remember me pleasantly or be shocked by me for days afterwards (preferably a mix of the two.) If the other person is so drunk they don't know half of what you're doing, the effect can be lost without pushing them until you could hurt them, something I am quite capable of but do not wish to do to someone until I am sure I understand what they want and can take. And I really, really don't want to bottom for someone who cannot stand up. I am oddly delicate in a few places that I won't have broken again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess I don't do casual sex, then; I could totally do a friend, but I want to know them. Sex, for me, is a way of knowing. If I'm fucking someone, I can guarantee you I'll know at least a little of them by a few times, if not more than they might want me to. Perhaps this is my control side coming out, but I want to melt my lovers down, to make them feel remade. I want to get under their skin. I want them to be talking about me years later with a sheepishly awed expression. I have a variable success rate; sometimes my concentration and the chemistry is better than others, but I'll give it a damn good try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I suppose, I find only being asked when the person is sloppy drunk to be disrespectful. It makes me wonder what they're ashamed of: me or their desires. I understand shame. I do. I just want them to come to me and talk about it. Never made fun of anyone in my life who came needing to talk. If they're too ashamed of me to ask sober, why bother? I have to be asked. Anything else is too much like taking advantage. (But for the record, a little begging makes me want to fuck someone sideways, in and out of the public eye, backwards, upside down, I don't care. I like and I don't care if it's PC, if other people think it's disrespectful or if people think it's misogynistic. Looks just as good on men as women. If, of course, I like the person.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please, everyone, try to fuck sober, or at least sober enough to know to use contraception or be safe. If you need to work up your courage, think hard about what you're doing and don't be afraid to talk to someone. Look around. There's bound to be someone else in the room, in the city, in your life who you can talk to. The more I know about lesbians, the more visible they become. They're more places than you might think. If you meet a woman in a bar you want to go home with, for the love of god, wait until you've sobered up to ask or go home with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you're asking me for sex, do not be drunk, cause I'll play with your hair and pet your head or get you home safely, but I will not fuck you. Well, not and respect myself in the morning. It has happened. I was sorry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-4811860083520413588?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/4811860083520413588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=4811860083520413588&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4811860083520413588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/4811860083520413588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/open-letter-to-girls.html' title='an open letter to drunk girls'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-7993440350726539844</id><published>2008-02-07T11:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-07T16:49:39.600-07:00</updated><title type='text'>this is the way girls do it</title><content type='html'>I've been doing a lot of reading, recently. I'm actually sitting here with Dagger: On Butch Women in my lap and I finished Brazen Femme in a voracious evening and hated to be bothered to eat dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had no name for it, growing up. I had no name for the desire to protect the women around me, to open their doors when they walked, light their cigarettes (I still love the smell of smoker and perfume or cologne) and occasionally kick their boyfriends asses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it goes further than that. It's the trying not to look in the changing room before gym or games. I played varsity basketball, softball, volleyball, assistant coached pee-wee football (wasn't in that changing room, so no one get huffy) with my father (I ran with them and warmed them up and did sprints with them) and earned a brown belt in shorin-ryu, mostly in my freshman year of high school. The tryouts for varsity entailed running for two and a half hours and puking outside the back door. Anyone who could still stand after two and a half hours, hadn't left and could go on to shoot basketballs was on the basketball team (anyone who could sink them at a good rate was on varsity); anyone who was still standing after two hours of running was on the volleyball team (but I hated those fucking butt shorts); and since no one wanted to play softball, if you kept showing up they gave you a uniform. Give me an excuse to get physical, any day. I did the lawn work for my parents and my neighbors, a pair of little old ladies in their seventies, twelve hours of lawn work on Saturdays. I also did about forty-five minutes of aerobics plus weight-lifting a day. (I'm lazy, now.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you believe I still thought I was too fat? The hips freaked me out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also the way that everyone reminds you to be a girl. I cannot count how many times I was shooed away from something because girls didn't do it that way, or it was only for boys. On reading these books, those responses (that used to baffle me), make more sense. Why was I being reminded of what girls do and the way they do it so much?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heh. Probably because I wasn't presenting like a 'real girl.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got that one from everyone, as well as being the only girl who, at Christmas, got makeup from just about everyone, as well as coordinated outfits that I would have died before wearing, though I made a go at the makeup because I understood that makeup was what girls were supposed to do. I was trying to be obliging. I can wear it and feel okay about it, but it all seems like too much trouble, mostly. I asked for a plastic pony, a truck like my brother's, a SheRa, a pair of 501s and a chemistry set. I also asked to go hunting, but that was for boys, so they took me fishing instead. I still wish I had time to go fishing, and yes, I eat the fish. I don't fish just for the pleasure of killing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still get wet while target-shooting, so it's probably a good thing they didn't take me hunting. I might have had to sit down and discretely rub myself against the seam of my jeans, which would not have been noticed, but the sitting down would have been interpreted as girlish weakness, which would have pissed me off. As a side note, I was the undisputed queen of semi-unobtrusive, hands-free masturbation from the fourth grade up, though if I didn't watch myself, I'd be overtly masturbating while doing homework, in class, using the seam of my jeans, something that no doubt looked as if I had to pee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the way you don't have many female friends, and the girls you are friends with make you feel oddly protective and sweaty. I had a best friend for awhile in high school who was a red head's red head from a family even more religiously conservative than mine. She would sometimes slick lotion over her legs while she wore a skirt or boxers/would change clothes next to me before gym and I had to work very, very hard not to watch her. She caught me a few times and I apologized and starting changing in the bathroom stalls, because watching the other twenty or so girls change out (small religious high school) like to kept me from ever getting dressed and going on to gym. I got an email the other day from my best friend in junior high discussing her crush on me. If I had had a name for it and had not been so painfully confused and shy about the whole thing (boy, have things changed), I could have been dating her (I mean, as much as you can date when the only path you've ever heard of (outside the nebulous injunction to never lay with a woman as with a man in Leviticus) involves boys, who, frankly, are not terribly attractive at that stage in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, seriously, they're snotty and weird and stupidly obsessed with your genitals, which they have such *charming* names for, until they're in their thirties (and still, sometimes, they don't understand respect. I like blue language, as you can no doubt tell if you've been reading, but there's a difference between the way someone who loves or respects you says 'cunt' and the way someone who thinks, to borrow from Madonna, that being a girl is degrading says 'cunt.') I have had boy crushes before, and still have them. We do not, as a society, raise boys to be thoughtful, responsible or responsive. You just about have to grab them by the hair and treat them like bad puppies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also little things, like borrowing your father's clothing. Somewhere, at my parent's house, is a picture of me, at four, in my father's Caterpillar knitted wool cap, determined expression on my face and head full of reddish brown Shirley Temple curls to mid-back and holding up his briefs around my hips. I have nothing else on. Whenever I went on a date, I would borrow something he owned for luck. Socks that stayed up and were not too thin, button up shirts that were comfy and not designed to over emphasize your hips and breasts (which I use to my advantage, now, sometimes) and/or in god awful flower prints and pastels (it was the nineties), and the coolest, longest lasting jeans ever. His feet were too big to wear his shoes, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostly, like the butches in this book and the femmes in Brazen Femme, I wanted to be strong and tough. I wanted to be all muscle, to be the fastest and the strongest. I wanted to be the bitch you did not fuck with, and while I started out thinking I had to do that in boy clothes (which I'm still more comfy in), I can be that bitch in a miniskirt as I get old enough to not give a shit. Just don't try to take my boots away. I love me some boots. My closet has one pair of heels, a pair of black No Sweats, a pair of Adidas, a pair of cheap ass black flip flops, a $130 pair of knee high Grip fast, cleated with nails and what looks like old tire treads and a pair of engineer's boots. I'd go miles out of my way for a boot sale; if they sold BDU pants at the same place (they are way comfy and kinda sexy with a wifebeater tank top), I might have to live there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've mellowed out a bunch in my old age, though. I think dating boys for this long is what did it. Hell, I didn't even really have a name for these feelings until a few years ago. I assumed they were neurosis of some description. Having children of my own also made me feel hesitant to discuss or admit these feelings, since it was proof that I was a 'girl.' I've had kids since I got knocked up at seventeen. I have been hesitant to talk to people about my feelings because women with children are often judged as being somehow not serious or otherwise weak/easily manipulated by culture. Mostly by women who have not tried to raise kids of their own, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pleasure of reading those two books has been finding out definitively that the way I do it is the way girls do it. I'd been worried that I had to given up the joys of being a girl to be myself. (I thought I only had two choices, and that didn't feel  right.) Well, girls do it this way too; they're just queer girls. I don't have to give up the proud ownership of my clit to be myself, more of a relief than you might think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can I say? I like my pleasure, people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-7993440350726539844?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/7993440350726539844/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=7993440350726539844&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7993440350726539844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/7993440350726539844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/this-is-way-girls-do-it.html' title='this is the way girls do it'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-8805379206070655477</id><published>2008-02-05T10:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-05T10:40:42.125-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I forgot to mention</title><content type='html'>Strength is also opportunistic, by which I mean that sometimes strength may be found in utilizing the opportunities that you come across.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always hated this expression and derivations of because my mother loved to tell me it when I was torn up: 'this is character building.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sighs* But there have been many opportunities for me to grow up, practice self-control or improve my situation that have basically ambushed me and tore a hole in me, then waited to see what I would do about it. I always hate to mention this, because it seems colder than the Ice Queen's ass, but at least seven times out of ten (and, privately, I suspect all ten worked the same way), when someone or something has clobbered the fuck outta me, it's been a chance to solidify my self-control or learn something about the way I work (and no, I don't think we're born knowing what we need to about ourselves. There are whole chapters of myself I probably could have lived without knowing, but it has been illuminating, if not pleasant, to be in hell.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI, the expression about being wise meaning you know how little you know is unfortunately true. The more I know, the less I know, if you catch my drift. And I have designated myself wise, so you should trust me. And send me money, because Jeeeeeeebus wants to do a miracle through.... oh, sorry, wrong channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose the unfortunate part of being strong contains a lot of moments in which you gather up the bleeding fragments of yourself and get on with it. After all (Ice Queen's other cheek), no one has the time nor the pity to console you for your pain. And if, by some miracle, someone does, it is a bit like winning the lottery (the odds thereof and the fact that being suddenly given that kind of compensation will make you act like a jackass) and a bit like being seduced (because you will sometimes end up trying to milk the person, sympathy or situation for more.) So be careful of your reactions to pain, not because you're trying to be macho, but because you can lose the chance to do something by being overwhelmed, something I have loads of experience with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to disagree.

I reserve the right to be wrong or to have a definition which is not useful to anyone else. Who knows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strength is different between men and women. In this culture, at least in my observation, women have a far greater opportunity to be strong because they are asked to bear more. And by asked, I mean expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This does pertain to childbearing; taking sole responsibility for the lives, health and mental wellbeing of another human being (or three) is an act which will test you and provide you with a lot of opportunity to be strong or not, sometimes a lot of both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pertains to sexism. Bearing up everyday when faced with overwhelming pressure to fail or to prove insufficient, as well as to conform to stereotypes which make you out to be frail and twist the words out of your mouth when you speak is also a great opportunity to be strong. Or not, for which I have no judgment, because people have good and bad days, months and years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose at this point I should say that I am a bit narcissistic, not in that I am incapable of empathy (I am often moved to empathy and sympathy with people); but in that I can't do anything about the way you're going to act except for to talk to you, avoid you, or otherwise work from the outside to deal with you, so I concern myself not with whether or not I am being acceptable (because I often cannot manage to be acceptable and feel as if I am consistent with my principals, though I will often try to be reasonable because I am not alone on the planet), but with whether I think I am doing the right thing, while watching to see what effects it has on the people around me. My job, however, other than my responsibilities toward my children and loved ones, is to make myself a better person, a project which takes up all my spare time. I am not a nice person on the inside, and the legacy of my childhood has been a lifetime of bad habits and detritus to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To give you an example, I believe that I engage in charitable or kind acts because I want to. I hope and intend for them to have a good reaction-- I want to help-- but sometimes I can't be sure that I actually helped (for instance, donations) or that the person who I give to is being helped. Even though I don't know what effects my actions have, though I assume the effect is good, I still feel as if I ought to be aware of my own enjoyment in it. It doesn't stop it from being a good thing to do, I just witness my own selfish pleasure in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, I'm a skeptic of myself, something I think is a healthy habit, considering some of the baggage I'm hauling. I don't spend a lot of time hating myself, nor thinking about my worst qualities (the last year excepted, but there are some extenuating circumstances), but I am skeptical of my own motivations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this have to do with strength? Realism. Popularly, strength is a matter of being some kind of rock, which this will sometimes sound like but I assure you, this  has more to do with having no safety net than it does the self-aggrandizing search for ways to prove myself more macho than. I'm not sure you can be a skeptic of yourself without wondering how much you might have contributed to the bad situations which you have encountered, but sometimes you don't know until it's time to mop up the mess you already made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always hated the idea that to be strong is to never need help or to otherwise be inhuman. No matter how strong, alpha or otherwise aggressive you may be, there comes a point when, if nothing else, your body won't let you take it anymore. Christmas before last was that point for me; it resulted in me collapsing (not fainting, but literally being unable to move from muscle exhaustion; my body said 'enough of that shit' and cut my puppet strings) and requiring three days in bed and an ER visit I should have skipped (though the CAT scan pics were fascinating. My brain is an interesting place when I'm trying very hard not to be claustrophobic in the thumping, screeching, over-sized cocoon that is a scanner. My freaking hair was standing on end.) I think, when it boils down, that I want to define strength as a combination of drive, stubbornness, resourcefulness and a refusal to unnecessarily submit to whatever life throws at you, long past the point when you want to bow out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key, I suppose, is hanging on past the point where it may be fun for you. Not unnecessarily; it would be stupid to hang on to something for the sake of hanging on (*kicks her dunce cap under the table*), at least after you realize you're hanging on because you can. I would say that the difference is in choosing a path that you think is necessary (and must be done) and following that path to the best of your ability, entailing a set amount of cost along the way. Let's be realistic; I am a very strong-willed person (see the rest of the blog), but there are things I am, currently, unwilling to sacrifice to get a given result. It depends greatly on the value of the goal versus the value of the thing sacrificed (which I am stupid enough to go through with sometimes, even when I know that what I give up is worth more than what I gain.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History is full of monsters with similar ethos; the only response I can make to that is the fact that I consciously remind myself to listen. I am fully capable of ignoring the people around me and/or running them over and using them to get to goals. Of course, I incur personal damage that way to the way I view myself, a cost I am usually unwilling to pay to make a given goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, discussing this in economic terms completely ignores the emotional toll and/or benefit of being strong (which I often prefer; despite the high level of disclosure in the blog, I am uncomfortable with talking about my emotions on this subject.) I often think of being strong, when I realize I'm doing it (occasionally, I'm bull-headed and don't immediately snap to it), as stripping down to a point. What I'm actually doing is ranking my emotions and determining the inner cost of being strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gotta tell you, being embarrassed, while not pleasant, does not rank high on my list of things to pay attention to. Sometimes I chose to do things that embarrass me just to keep the unpleasantness of it in perspective. The low sort of ranking also applies to being angry, being happy, being in pain (a whole other subject), being grieved (it happens a lot, actually) or being discomforted. I am frequently discomforted and have noticed a positive correlation between discomfort and progress toward goals, so I usually take it as a good, if minor, sign that I'm getting somewhere. (Illogical, yes. Also comforting.) Even though I know things are not this way, I usually go through a mental process in which I focus on the goal and tell myself that the particulars (when I've decided they are worth disregarding) are irrelevant and that I must reach the goal. I will reach the goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I change to suit. I'm not sure how else to put it. When you want something, you adapt as best you can (I'm going to pointedly refuse to discuss the overwhelming rate of partial success which tends to be what I get) and you get it. And frankly, if I get even part of it, I take it as success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you go. It's a sketch of strength that is not perfect, nor absolute. Just don't get in between me and the goal, because then I'll have to plot around you (and getting around someone without hurting them/hurting them as little as you can is a better test of skill and fortitude than running over them, which requires only viciousness.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you'll excuse me... *pulls out her dunce cap*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-1458524479575901700?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1458524479575901700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=1458524479575901700&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1458524479575901700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1458524479575901700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/so-what-is-strength-anyway.html' title='so what is strength, anyway'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-8633724636750289023</id><published>2008-02-02T16:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-02T16:21:57.796-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the children of the night are in the other room, playing Final Fantasy X</title><content type='html'>&lt;table width=350 align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#EEEEEE" align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style='color:black; font-size: 14pt;'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You Are A Vampire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatkindofmonsterareyouquiz/vampire.gif" height="100" width="100"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You truly enjoy entrancing people.

I said in another post that the body remembers-- odd how that works, isn't it? The body remembers, sometimes leaving the brain clear as a bell and the body quaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My boyfriend's mother lent me a 1935 Singer to do some sewing on. I've been teaching myself how to sew, partially for the hell of it, partially because I want to make sure I have clothes that fit me (small waist, big butt) and that I like the look of. For some silly reason, the bobbin (bottom thread) snapped for the second time in ten seconds, which tends to happen with this machine and I. It probably has something to do with the way I'm threading it. In any case, as I tried to thread the machine again, I noticed my hands were shaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been years since the last one, so I'd forgotten that if my hands start violently shaking and I suddenly get extremely frustrated, I should probably step away from the sharp bits and anything mechanical. For the record, I am usually very mechanically inclined; give it to me and I'll take it apart (when I have time for exploration), figure out how it works and sometimes I can make things better, sometimes not. I love machines, I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My hands were shaking so bad I dropped the bobbin, unspooling it across the floor, which means that I'd have to mechanically respool it on the Singer to insure that it feeds smoothly when I finally get it spooled. After the second time I'd dropped everything, I had to get out of my living room full of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It rises like an invisible tide, a drowning pool full of something you cannot, at first, recognize. I thought I was hungry. Sometimes I get irritable from hunger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shaking became a quaking so severe I could not hold anything. The boyfriend, who also has things in his past that come at him this way, went to hug me and I flinched, tightening every muscle in my body, leaning away and then not quite into his hug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother had a sewing machine, a Pfaff from about the same period. In one of her many attempts to teach me womanly skills, in case some man somewhere could be fooled into using me as a wife, she and I had a rather nasty fight over the bobbin I snarled and managed to break in the machine, causing it to need to be sent to a repair shop. I suppose it wasn't the nastiest fight we ever got into, but it was during that period that the (so hard to type; don't want to say it) abuse was the worst, right before I ran away from home (and stayed gone.) She and my father both used to enjoy saying the most hurtful things (we never loved you anyway; no one will ever love you; you're pathetic and useless; things of that ilk) and occasionally smacking me upside the head until I developed a tic for awhile, a spasmotic shudder that shook my neck to the side if anything got close to my head. It wasn't so much what they said as it was the fact that hurting me was so fun for them. It was joyful for them when nothing made them happy, making them act as if they renewed their love for each other that way (they touched more afterward; sometimes they went and had sex or cuddled afterward, satisfied with one another, again. As an English grad student, I know catharsis when I see it.) I don't have problems with it now, but what was happening also made me occasionally have convulsions. The brain overloads because you cannot quite blank it out, nor can you control what will happen. Made gym class a horror, and I love to play sports. Made sitting in anything but the back row impossible, because anyone sitting behind me made me cringe. The body moves, leaving the mind clear enough to feel ashamed that someone else would see a movement we cannot control, the body recoiling from yesterday's events today, tomorrow, and fifteen years later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My head was clear. I stood in my kitchen, memory marching through me like hell's brass band; sound and picture, riot and fury through me and touching, but not enough to carry me with it anymore. No fear. Not any more. I suppose you get better at it, in time. The fury passed, leaving grief. I have my own place and I can grieve, now. I didn't cry for years, no matter what happened, and now I can cry. Straight-faced, even breathing, eyes spilling down my face as if they belonged to someone else. If I chose, I can tip it over, make it into a more obvious grief and howl it out, which I will not do in front of my kids, because I am their rock. They are not mine. And the amount of grief did not feel as if it merited it. Self-control, years and years of practice, is a wonderful thing. The body shakes, you get angry but you can chose what to do about it. I can chose to yell, which I didn't. I can chose to be vicious, and I didn't. I can chose to go stand in my kitchen, in the other room, and let it pass through me. Pass through me and away, because I'm not fifteen anymore, and this is my space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I'm done writing this, I'll go back to sewing. This is my space, my life, and I am nothing if not brave in my old(er) age.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-8027634668375389849?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/8027634668375389849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=8027634668375389849&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/8027634668375389849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/8027634668375389849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/memory-is-killer.html' title='memory is a killer'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-1279085644547895871</id><published>2008-02-01T14:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-02-01T16:28:29.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>on being a bitch. a love letter of sorts</title><content type='html'>Yep. I use all kinds of interesting words here. Today's post will be laden with the word I hear about myself the most and my ponderings on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To each bitch there is a manner of becoming. Some bitches are born. Some bitches are made by a happy coincidence of outside influences and her reaction to them. And finally, some bitches make themselves in response to the desire to be bad or in response to a life that seems determined to make a bitch of her. If you're reading this and no one has ever called you a bitch, please, join us. Come to the dark side. It's important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am bitch D, all of the above. If you have read this far through the archives, you know that I was my mother's bitch, and by bitch I mean the girl shaped vessel into which she put the darkest of her feelings about being trapped at home to raise the kids despite her ambition to earn a BA in music theory. There are a lot of women in the family whose ambition was sidelined by marriage and children, as if the purchase price for love and relationships was the death of their selves. To some degree, I was also born a bitch, because whatever made me (biology or something deified) made me almost incapable of STFU for extended periods, and bitch is what they call uppity girls who don't STFU. Also girls who can be cruel. (Yo!) It will all come barreling out, whether I like it or not. Sometimes to my humiliation, sometimes to my benefit and always to my alienation, because no matter how far along we might have gotten in terms of rights, no one quite knows what to do with a dyed-in-the-wool bitch, including herself sometimes. Overt modesty, chastity and humility are not my forte. I have been extensively punished for this, as most bitches are, in a variety of ways. I will go into this momentarily. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also made myself. Bitches, when they achieve bitch-hood, have thrust upon them a stereotype of sorts, which they have to decide how to process. This I will also go into momentarily, but for now, just remember that as far out of the mouse you go, there is always someone who intends to mold you so that they know what you are and can safely ignore you. Which is absurd. Bitches are not safe, at least in that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the subject of safety, I wish to introduce bitch ethics and bitch safety. If you are a bitch, and I am going to suppose that you are, if you're interested in reading this. If you're doing bitch research, I hope you find this edifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bitch ethics are a bit complicated and tied into bitch stereotypes. I'm not so much talking the femme fatale bit here, which tends to come up, as I am all the assorted bad girl stereotypes which may be lumped into or poured over our bitch selves. Let's name them, shall we? Sing along! There's the bad girl with a heart of gold; the femme fatale; the gold-digger; the significant other stealer; the power-hungry bitch; the disobedient bitch; many, many permutations of horny bitch and the disloyal, manipulative bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk honestly, bitches. How many of these bitches have you been? There is a certain reward to compliance, ain't there? With the stereotypes, you know what you're supposed to do next, right? Pivot on hip here, sneer there, grind out cigarette with foot, etc. What kind of bitch are you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of bitches out there everywhere, Be. Your. Own. Bitch. The problem with conforming constantly to stereotypes is that they limit your behavior to the kinds of things that stereotypical bitch would do, something I know I ran away from. I was being choked to death in the other lives laid out for me. I got kids. I like kids. But no matter what happens, I am not going to give up going to school for them (and I have been explicitly punished for being a bad mother because I went to school and needed a babysitter. We're cruel to one another, bitches.) Bing nothing but a stereotypical bitch is just as bad as always being the nice girl. In both stereotypes, in order to be successful, you end up being dead. Watch any horror movie, read classic literature, look at the life of Marilyn Monroe. Good girls, bad girls, all girls who transcend to stereotype die. And then they die again, because they are not remembered as people, but as an inhuman uber woman who is foisted into other women as a model for their behavior and to make them despair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a new point, bitches. Any good close look at the lives of women held up to our emulation will quickly illuminate the rotten core of depression, self-denial, abuse and/or sacrifice; most of these qualities or actions will not be based on choice, but rather on the expectations and strictures placed on these women by the people around them, well-meaning or no, conscious or unconscious. The more popular or well-known you are, the tighter and deeper those things bite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not saying to never act like a particular kind of bitch. There's no sense in being paranoid. I am saying know those bitches and slip them like a pair of itchy panties when they do not suit. (Had to work a lingere reference in there somewhere.) Same rule goes for nice girls. Wanna be one? Fine. Just know how and slip it when you don't need it. You own you, bitch. And don't you ever forget it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bitch ethics are deeply dependent on a bitch's knowledge of bitch stereotypes, partially because one of the components of ethics has to do not only with how we treat others, but also with how they perceive the way we treat them. Stay with me, here. I am going to leave the subject of what specifically to do, in terms of bitch ethics, open. You get to chose what kind of bitch you wanna be. I could really give a shit, as long as you are consciously choosing to be that kind of bitch. I've done a little bit of everything, in terms of bitches, while trying myself out. There are a list of things I try not to do, because I may be a bitch, but I try to be a dignified one. (And by dignified, I mean I gotta look myself in the eye, in the morning.) Bitch ethics, to my mind, are the struggle to remain acceptable to myself in the face of some rather specific, stereotype-oriented pressure to do otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of how other people see your bitch ethics and actions, I exhort you to remember that the people around you (in the same basic society as you) are fully stocked with all the bitch stereotypes, or at least you may assume so for the sake of a working definition. They think they know what you're supposed to do next and will interpret your actions to fit. (I once had a teacher who kept repeating 'you know I have a wife, don't you' when I asked him if I could talk to him about our Aristotle reading. I finally told him I tend to prefer pussy [yes, in those words], so I thought he was safe. To my reading, this was less something I was doing [standing six feet from him] or wearing [sweats] and more the kind of bitch he thought I was. Sometimes being a bitch can have unintended and really annoying side-effects, because people tend to interpret aggressive as wanton; thank you, slutty bitch stereotype. Trust me, I am a horny bitch frequently, but I am also a very, very picky bitch.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is completely possible to be doing something ethical, through even a religious understanding of ethics, and have it interpreted as something highly unethical because of that stereotype. I have walked women to their cars after a late night class, not because I wanted to fuck them (it's a theme for me), but because I wanted to insure our collective safety, and had them treat me as if I were trying to get in their panties or, if I stumbled over something in the dark, as if I were completely otherwise inept, because I was not 'suave' enough to fit the stereotype they though they had identified in me. For that reason, a bitch has to be aware, but capable of ignoring the implications. Or I'd have crawled under a rock and given up, already. Take heart, bitches. I know what you mean. And so will other bitches, if they're self-aware of the peril of being one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a bitch is very, very perilous. Some of you know that. For those of you that don't, being a bitch has resulted in the following, for me: I've been punched; locked in a freezer by my manager because I have an attitude problem; treated like a spectacularly bad-behaving dog that just shit on the carpet; ignored or treated as if being a bitch meant I was stupid or otherwise mentally inadequate; challenged by men who want to know why I think I'm macho (CONSTANTLY); had men compete with me as if I were another man (they tend to think it's a compliment of sorts); had people read my bitch bumper stickers and kick out my glass, call the cops or try to peel them off; had that old 'but you look like such a nice girl' canard used on me; asked why I'm so 'unnatural' (some of this is correlated with queerness, but there is more than one kind of queer girl); had guys threaten to fuck some sense/straight into me; threaten me for looking at the same girl (don't you dare turn her to your team); treated by other women as if I were trying to make them less or as if I am sleazy (that happens to bitches a lot); had other women call me names, ignore me, refuse to talk to me, treat me as if I was incompetent or stupid or male because they could not figure out what to do with me or my demeanor annoyed them; been told to be more charming, nicer, sweeter, I'd be so much cuter if I'd just act like more of a girl and, most stingingly, told I wasn't much of a feminist because I only made the real feminists look bad by being so tacky/loud/horny/disagreeing/questioning policy (to which my response is usually 'when was the last time you jumped into a domestic/hid someone at your house from her partner/bought someone groceries for a woman and her child/drove a stranger to a shelter/refused to back down no matter how much it scared you because you were debating a man?' I'm not saying I didn't almost piss my pants every single time. I'm not saying I wasn't shaking. I've actually had my knees knock. I'm not saying I haven't mellowed as I aged and had kids. I owe them sticking around. I am saying don't beat your fucking girlfriend or kids in front of me. I will call the cops, make a stink or otherwise try to stop you. Not on my fucking watch, fuckers.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's quickly talk about rape, ladies (which isn't easy.) The paragraph above covers physical violence (of which there has been much for me, over the years) and the discouragements tossed to bitches by the people in their environments. (There are male bitches, but let's face it: the modern 'bitch' is a word from a class of words specifically designed to make women feel shitty for being nonconformists.) I have had to deal with a unfortunately large amount of that, beginning before I quite knew what sex was and continuing on to this day in threats. I will rip a motherfucker's balls off with my teeth before that happens again, like many of the women I've talked to. Rape is a specific sort of threat aimed at all women, whether they are so comfortable conforming with the lives given them that they do not notice or not. It is also aimed at men who do not conform. Yes, it's horrible. Yes, it's catastrophic. You need to know, as bitches, that you are under a special sort of threat for it. Because I am a bitch, I can almost guarantee that I will hear something about it almost half the time I talk to men, especially men who are angry and not, for various reasons, good at being subtle. I also see threats in commercials, on TV, I've lost count of rape scenes in mainstream movies and in newspaper articles. Being raped will make you sensitive to that kind of thing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bitches, know that the threats you will get for noncompliance are going to be heavily based on the idea that something may be raped from you. Don't let them have the satisfaction. Be safe, but do not back down. No matter how strong, how powerful, how fucked your situation is, you can still hurt them. Do not let them have your fear and resist as strongly as you can. You don't owe them shit, most especially not compliance based of fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And don't feel bad when you do comply. You especially do not owe anyone guilt. The act of surviving is, in and of itself, a bravery. Bitches are brave as all fuck. We are the bravest people I know, as are all non-conformists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, being a bitch, a real bitch, is dangerous. You should know that for every time you've been a bitch, every time you've refused to comply and been uppity without backing down, for every time you've stood up, it issues a challenge to the people around you and they frequently will not take it well. This can result in anything. In white collar, intellectual settings, this will result in gossip and general nastiness, including being passed over for endorsements and positions. In other settings, it can result in anything from being passed over to being assaulted. I have been grateful, since I was a little girl, in a quick mouth and mind. In one of the high schools I went to (the religious one, if you know me personally), I talked a bunch of stupid little boys out of assaulting me by pointing out that they were liable to get caught. I probably should have just hit one of them and got it over with. They made a lot of trouble for me over the two years I was there. I talked a guy out of shooting me at a party after I broke up a fight with the same argument, talking to him about the horrors of jail for a white boy as he held the gun to my head. It's a good one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So bitch safety is important. Remember, bitches, at least at this point in our societal development, you cannot always count on the people around you for support. So be very, very careful being a bitch. Find people you can count on to hang out with. Be careful where you are, where you go and who you talk to. A broken heart, hurt feelings or being passed over for a position are a whole lot less painful than having your ass kicked by some guy twice your size (unless you have to support a family; then it's terrifying. College is expensive.) So (jokingly), I suggest you hang out with the white collar crowd some. It annoys the piss out of them, anyway. (I'm a blue-collar bitch, in case you haven't guessed by now.) Just be careful getting close to them. They aren't always bitch-friendly, though they will sometimes pretend to be. If you are comfortable, chances are quite good you are conforming somehow and most people will defend their comfort. Viciously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More seriously, though, ask yourself why you're a bitch. What does it mean to you? What will you give up to be a bitch and how can you make being a bitch work for making your world a better place?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, the answers are as follows: I'm a bitch because there's nothing else I can ethically or naturally be. Seriously, I am a default bitch a great deal of the time, but not angrily. Being a bitch, for me, means that I am actively involved in creating a world for my daughters in which they are less constricted by stereotypes that ask them to kill themselves or their dreams and selves in order to be acceptable. As a net result, I am making a better world for other women. I'll give just about everything up for being a bitch, not because I believe that I should have to sacrifice, but because being a bitch is fairly natural to me and because I want to be actively involved in making the world a better place. Not by giving up my life, though I will risk it, unless the lives of my loved ones are at stake. It don't happen often, though, and hasn't happened, yet. Every single time I stand up and refuse to back down, not because I am wrong and afraid, but because if I'm right, motherfuckers are &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; going to shake me, I make rhetorical space for other women to also stand up, in the lives of the women around me and the lives of the men who encounter me. It also gives me a clear picture of when I am wrong, which I reserve the right to be (and hopefully to change my mind.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you, bitches. Every single scarred, scared, non-conforming, angry, steel-toe or stiletto wearing, lonely and full of friends, uppity one of you. I believe we're making the world a better place. Even when I don't agree with you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-1279085644547895871?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1279085644547895871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=1279085644547895871&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1279085644547895871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/1279085644547895871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/02/on-being-bitch-love-letter-of-sorts.html' title='on being a bitch. a love letter of sorts'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-3051569593351551234</id><published>2008-01-28T01:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-01-28T01:58:23.076-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ha!

If you are planning to store, pull it off the heat immediately after it's done coloring and out of the pot completely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;directions for roux:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melt butter in pan, stirring constantly until it is liquid. Stir in flour to make a paste of the consistency of glue but not quite rubber cement. Stirring constantly, keep over high to med high heat and brown. This will take a long time and will quite suddenly change colors from off-white to brown. Scape it up and keep it moving until it is the color of 80% cocoa chocolate, but not black or burnt. Get as close to black as possible without burning. Takes approximately twelve minutes, but this depends on your pan and stove. Pull off heat immediately if storing; if going on to gumbo, add water and slowly stir/whisk out to a thin soup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for the gumbo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 loops smoked sausage&lt;br /&gt;a bunch green onions&lt;br /&gt;3 cans crab&lt;br /&gt;1 lb shrimp, shelled or 2 cans miniature shrimp&lt;br /&gt;tabasco/flaked red pepper&lt;br /&gt;garlic powder to taste&lt;br /&gt;salt to taste&lt;br /&gt;gumbo water&lt;br /&gt;cooked rice or saltines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bring gumbo water to a boil. Chop sausage into small chunks and put sausage, shrimp and crab into gumbo water. Season with salt, garlic powder and red pepper or other spices for heat. If the shrimp is raw, this will take forty-five minutes. If not, boil until sausage is cooked through (about twenty minutes). Approximately five minutes from finished, add chopped green onions. Serve with tabasco, saltines or cooked rice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like most gumbo recipes, this was intended to be served with just about any meat as the flavor. As long as one of the meats is smoked, it will do fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for approximately six cups of Jambalaya:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;red (tomato) roux:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cups butter&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup flour (or slightly more)&lt;br /&gt;2 large cans tomato paste&lt;br /&gt;2 large cans tomato sauce (or 4 small ones)&lt;br /&gt;one dutch oven, copper bottomed or iron pot (displaces heat evenly)&lt;br /&gt;at least six cups of water (if going on and not storing)&lt;br /&gt;a whisk (if going on and not storing)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've never stored this and suspect it has the same shelf life as the brown roux above. Store in fridge and use promptly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melt butter in pan, stirring constantly until it is liquid. Stir in flour to make a paste of the consistency of glue but not quite rubber cement. Stirring constantly, add tomato paste. Will be thick and virulently red. Stir over heat for a few minutes until paste gets a little darker (red delicious apple), then whisk in tomato sauce. Whisk in water to make a total of six cups, plus a little more (I am making this in a desert environment.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for Jambalaya:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 loops smoked sausage&lt;br /&gt;2 bell peppers, any color&lt;br /&gt;1 can chipotles in ancho sauce (can find in Spanish section of any grocery store)&lt;br /&gt;optionally, a few raw jalapenos (the chipotle and ancho sauce will make it hot, this will make it painful and the flaked red and tabasco is for people who are fire-proofing their tonsils)&lt;br /&gt;1 large yellow onion (not white; purple is okay but yellow is best)&lt;br /&gt;3 cups rice&lt;br /&gt;red roux water&lt;br /&gt;dutch oven (must be able to bake in oven) and lid or foil to cover top&lt;br /&gt;2 large cans diced tomatoes or 2 lbs diced fresh&lt;br /&gt;4 large cloves garlic or garlic powder to taste&lt;br /&gt;salt to taste&lt;br /&gt;flaked red pepper/tabasco&lt;br /&gt;1 T fat/butter/shortening&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can add seafood, but must add a smoked meat, like sausage. I like kielbasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preheat oven to 350. Dice sausage, peppers, onion, garlic and chipotle. Set chipotle and garlic aside. Saute sausage, peppers, onion, then add to red roux water. Bring water to boil. Add chiptole, ancho sauce in can, tomatoes and diced garlic or garlic powder to water. Pour in rice. Remove from heat, cover pan and bake until rice is soft, or 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning on bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope these are helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not ever use liquid smoke.

That's how long I've been in school. Since fall of 97, after the birth of my second child. I could trace it in the electronic devices I've carried. Walkman to cell phone, then a bulky portable CD player, a much smaller cell phone and finally an exorbitantly expensive MP3 player, something I got myself for the long walks to school, back before the baby. I was walking up to three miles (mostly uphill in that neighborhood) to get to school, and since I frequently could not afford to eat, until I got the job at the kitchen, I often had not eaten and could not until I made the walk home (much worse than the walk there) and sat just inside my door, after I got it open, shaking and waiting for the dizziness to pass so I could boil an egg. The MP3 player came out of my loans, which were otherwise budgeted to the penny. I walked a lot and kept breaking the CD players. They we so easy to break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to explain what a Walkman was to the girls. I threw in an explanation for the old 'party line' telephones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know what it's like to deal with persistent thoughts? Even when you know it's not your fault that you have them? Like how you're going to fail. I have that one all the time. My inner pessimist is actually about 5'6", and goes for walks in the evenings to sneer at passers-by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman who was never my friend, but whom I trusted, told me that I make excuses for everything. That I never take personal responsibility. If that were true, I'd have beaten my children to death by now. I've had much to worry about. Mom never beat us until she broke us, but she did pick up whatever was handy and flail away, screaming at us to be still. I picked her up, once, when I was twelve. I've always been a big girl and she is quite petite. She bit me. Then she told my dad to administer the spankings, she'd call him at work, not that she never just picked something up and went to town. So we got a spanking from my father and a little extra, just in case or as the mood hit her. I could have been her. I try not to be and it takes as much as I can spare, everyday. Not hitting people when they annoy me is much easier than it was when I began to be a parent (I spent a lot of time walking away to cool of. I loathed being needed. Now it just makes me uncomfortable.) I just have to watch the desire to withdraw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear being at home the way I have been. I cannot make good associations with the idea of being a housewife. It scares me. Everyday I spend home, I live in fear of passing a mirror and seeing her wandering through the house, a wooden spoon in hand, looking for me or screaming, throwing herself from chair to chair as if they were the thick posts of wharf anchors, screaming at me about the black tide she lived in, how it was rising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, why am I here? I think about that a lot. Why am I still here? Most of the people I knew from high school are dead, in jail, or miserable and married in some tiny town. I got an email from one, the other day. She's at least bi-sexual, if not queer, (questioning something that we had no name for) like me, and she wanted me to know how much she loved me when we were friends. I told her I wish she had told me. We have so much in common. I remember sitting in her bedroom, watching her, whipping myself with an unfolded wire hangar. Why, she said. Because it hurts, I said. Because that is all there is and I must make myself used to it. She watched me then out of the corner of her eyes. We listened to Skid Row. I wanted to be hard. I wanted to be empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to fear a descent into memory. I spent all day trying my hardest not to think, because it would only get punished by someone, and trying hard not to remember. To blend. Once that was all I ever wanted. To never be asked anything hard. I like first meetings for that reason. You can talk very little and no one knows you enough to ask the questions that keep bubbling up. My grandmother made gumbo, looked just like brackish swamp water. She'd put whole eggs in it and boil them. Ever so often, one of them would roll up, flashing a quick white curve, and fall back down. It was all gumbo in there, which is funnier if you know that gumbo is leftover meat soup. (As in, look at the package I found in the back of the freezer. That look like meat to you? You boil rice, I'll make a roux. Tabasco or Frank's will send anything down, mostly by making it impossible to taste from the heat.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's my story, and it's the only story I've got. I can and have wrote fiction that has no biography in it. None that I could find. But the stories keep bubbling up all over and they're good stories. They're &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;interesting&lt;/span&gt;. And I can finally talk about some of this stuff. I wish that they didn't get such a bad reaction. I'd enjoy reading them if they came up in workshop. I wish we got more stories like this. I'd feel oddly as if I were watching a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the members of my dissertation committee gave me a copy of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Trash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, by Dorothy Allison. I can only read a story and a half, two at the most, before I have to go be ill. It wasn't like that for me, exactly. But it was enough like it for me to be torn between wanting to meet her and thank her or curse her. It's like but not like. I know what I'm looking at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If all goes as planned, I'll have a MFA this fall. And yet my publications will be minimal. I haven't been sending anything out. I mostly make my own revisions, but I am not satisfied that the critique I'm getting helps. And I'm afraid that no one wants to hear my stories. And I'm afraid someone wants to hear them. You get used to shutting the hell up. It's my fault for not sending them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has been a window into my gray matter, which is apparently doing some boiling. I will follow it with a recipe for gumbo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079740213694058255-936017327442624216?l=thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/feeds/936017327442624216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1079740213694058255&amp;postID=936017327442624216&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/936017327442624216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079740213694058255/posts/default/936017327442624216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thatsmsbitchtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/01/journal-of.html' title='A Journal of Disorganized Thoughts, part one'/><author><name>mouthybitch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05803838450576158048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LihftIN_FAk/R40DbaUQjFI/AAAAAAAAAAY/R5xwG3mciks/S220/avatar.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079740213694058255.post-6850362223213715498</id><published>2008-01-16T20:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-01-16T23:19:35.537-07:00</updated><title type='text'>the terrible price of desire</title><content type='html'>Well, this is either going to be right on or waaaaay off. Here goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boyfriend and I were talking about sex, cause it's one of my favorite topics and I hope he's telling me the truth when he says that it's his. I got to thinking (and I am sometimes quite philosophical about sex, because I'm always looking for more ways to work it into discussions), thinking about desire and the way that women experience and bear desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the record, I have struggled my whole life with a society that, to my mind, tried to deny me my desire or erase it somehow. And not just because I fancy girls. (Also for the record, I fancy boys, the occasional dildo [improvised and machine made], ropes, beating instruments, knives and my hands.) I was told that any woman too interested in sex invited rape, and was unnatural and sick. In other words, could expect to be punished for her transgressive behavior by a society united in their knowledge that the desire and the woman should be stomped out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, for the good of all or something like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It always seemed to me that a kind of endless, wakeful desire was far more natural to women than the bizarre frigid, infertile slut thing that I was always seeing on the TV I watched at friend's houses and hearing about in conversation. I mean, who owned desire and why, I thought (at thirteen, actually). Why was female desire so important that it must be channeled and contained. (I am aware that there are books on this, but I hadn't heard of anything like it in my Southern Baptist, boycotting TV childhood.) What was I supposed to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostly, I tried to figure out whose fault it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*squick warning. You have been warned. And how often do I do that?*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of who owns what started early for me. I think I was nine or ten. My father, who is an engineer, at the time working for a major defense contractor, moved us to Okinawa to work at Kadena. Like most good Baptists, they immediately sought out a church, cause if you don't go to church at least once a week, you're going to go straight to hell. God takes attendance. In any case, the pastor (who is unmemorable to me in any way) had a teenaged son, who, for the hell of it, we'll call George. George took a special shine to my brother and I. We spent a lot of time hanging out, which my parents found gratifying, because his father was the pastor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents are something of social climbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, George played with us, babysat us, was around almost constantly. I don't remember how he looked very well, just that he was a wrestling fan and was forever getting me into some kind of complicated hold that involved a lot of groping. This was, of course, before the tits, so he was groping a flat chest. There's always been an ass there, even when there wasn't hips, so that was padded. This becomes relevant in a moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a mother, I can tell you any teenage boy who is constantly wrestling and offering to babysit my kids would make me a little nervous. The boy in question was sixteen at the time, I think. I would not have permitted that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George liked to get me in a particularly complicated position in which I was bent double with my face pressed to the carpet (or matting) and rub himself on me. Not so much my little brother, thank god. He happened to do this one time when his parents were over at our house, visiting with my family. I left the room afterwards and wandered into the front room, where the adults were. As an adult, I wonder if he stained my skirt. I don't remember there being anything on the pinafore. I interrupted, something I was not supposed to do, since children were to be seen and not heard, and told everyone about George's new game, 'cause it seemed a little odd to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dad beat ten kinds of holy hell into me for being a lying slut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, reflecting at thirteen and later as an adult on that experience, the question of who owned my desire became important. I'm not the kind of person that can deal well with frigidity or abstinence. I go a bit the other way, actually. I love and need to feel, at first in an unhealthy way. Took me awhile to stop being there for whomever grabbed first or hardest. There were other incidences like this while I was growing up, and I was told both explicitly and implicitly that I did not own my body and that it was exchangeable for status and, even at birth, promised elsewhere (to a deity who would cede it to a husband, whose enjoyment of it would be more important than my own, anyway.) I was the custodian of two small breasts, a bodacious booty (if I do say so myself), a body prone to muscle making and casual strength (which has served me well) and an overwhelming curiosity. (Also not a terribly bad mind, as it turned out. If anyone has a Who's Who for US high schools from 92-93, I am in that baby for my freshman year, tail end of the Cs. There are only three of us with the same last name, and I'm the only one with an NEDT award. I also have a civics and DFYIT award, which I just rediscovered. Boy were they barking up the wrong tree [since junior high.] I used to 'take the edge off' a lot. Daily. I'm too old for it, now. Gets expensive.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it any wonder I set out to enjoy it any way I could, though it took me a considerable amount of time to be able to own my own enjoyment instead of looking for someone to own it for me, albeit someone I hoped would be interested in my enjoyment, too. (A proviso-- when you are accustomed to thinking of yourself as a kind of vagina with leasing rights, you learn to have a sexual reaction to things that are not extraordinarily foreplay oriented.) I suppose this makes me a bit of a sick fuck. Hold your sympathy. If I don't feel sorry for me, I am not interested in your sympathy, either. Especially if it keeps you from listening to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of who owns desire is important precisely because when a woman goes about putting her metaphoric brakes down, there is a lot of resistance, mostly in the form of making it costly for her. In my observation, this is irrespective of whether her circumstances are like mine or whether her life has been peachy; it is no easy task to start refusing to participate in a culture that tells her (and has conditioned her to believe) that her desire must be evoked from outside her by a man who has a key. (You know, the penis fixes all. I like a good fuck, but fixes everything? Only if the penis has maaagic powers. I've had fucks that made me forget things that stressed me, but never a fuck that made everything perfect. And I like to think of myself as a fuck connoisseur.) Moreover, when she tries to insure that she owns her own sexual desire and expression, the same system that assures women that they don't own the evocation of their sexual desire goes into overload assuring her that she has no right to say no or that no is not effective in terms of deterrent. I have seen an amazing amount of mainstream movies that have female characters whose 'no' is only meant to be powered through, since it wasn't really no so much as 'show me you're serious about it' (because all women want out of a man is strength. Bah, I want the ability to listen, some mileage and personal competence. Also a pony, if Santa is listening.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This uses a very natural experience, desire, against the woman who is only trying to figure out why it's hers, yet she is not supposed to be able to summon it on her own. (Which is, coincidentally, why so many women don't know how to say what they want or expect men to know. They literally don't know or understand that they can have it for themselves and chose with whom to share desire. As a side note to my side note, it takes a 'drying out' period to sort this shit out, in which I had to abstain and figure out what was mine. The answer was everything from hair down and all the associated mental properties and functions.) What happens is the woman is threatened with a withdrawal of outlets for her desire, as well as a complete lack of social modeling and support for her efforts to control herself, which is both short-sighted and the equivalent of shooting oneself in the foot (unless you don't care if the other person is having fun, in which case you should be fucking a pocket pussy, not a partner.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More desire = more fun and possibly more frequent sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using desire this way is terrible, attaching a price that can vary from a woman's life to her ability to be considered worthy of bodily integrity (something that is a moot point in a society that hands the keys of desire elsewhere. It's an empty threat, in some ways. What is the threat, extra violence on top of what is already being offered? Like your broken bones in the left or right leg?) My objection is not to women as sexual creatures, a fact that I am both proud to affirm and fond of. My objection is that the sexuality which feels so good, that is so comforting and interesting and fun and soothing and exciting cannot be any of those things when it is doled out by someone else. I play with BDSM and love it, but play time is a granting, not a taking. Even when it's styled to be a taking (that would be why the word 'play' is so apt.) It beggars the mind to think of how casting desire outside the body tears out the very core of women, turning them against themselves. To place desire outside the body is to mutilate oneself and parcel it out. Women are mu
