Writer's Block: Yes, offense taken

If a friend or relative makes a racist or homophobic remark, do you tend to confront them or let it slide? Are you more likely to confront them if it offends you directly or someone else who seems reluctant to speak up?

If it's the first time I've heard it from them and it's not a very serious context, then I would let it slide, even if it hurts me a little to hear them say it. I might let it go a few times after that if it's, as before, not very serious. To be honest, I try to avoid conflict as much as possible. I will, however, think far less of that person than I did before they opened their mouth.
I mean, unless it's... a joke? There's a fine line to it, but this isn't COMPLETELY SERIOUS BUSINESS either. I can laugh about it too.

Eventually though, or if they're directly attacking someone or being especially offensive, I will confront them. It's one thing to display ignorance about it more or less privately; it's entirely not okay to go attacking someone simply because they have a different ethnicity or sexuality.
Not that I would make a big scene out of it, if I can. I would just try to discuss with them what it is that's making them voice these opinions or at least play devil's advocate. I'd try to not go berserk on them - obviously would be reallyreally difficult if they're directly attacking someone, but I'd still try.

This is kind of tricky, because a majority of my family is rather... traditional? old-school? I've been taught not to fight and disrespect my family members, but I get really tired of hearing it sometimes. Especially when it begins to affect the opinions of younger family members, because I don't really think that viewpoint should be continued.

I find it kind of amusing that the Writer's Block topic is related to what I'm going to post on here.

I'm taking a psychology class, and he had us take the Kiersy Bates personality test (the one that gives you four letters).
So, if anyone gives a shit, my results were INTX... the X meaning I scored evenly on both J and P. XD I am not screwing up the categories!
The ideal human being would have an X in all categories because that would mean that they are perfectly balanced in everything, naturally. Except for that one X, I was completely set in one direction. So there you have it. I wish I knew how to attach a document on here, but I don't. -__-;

My professor posted a detailed description for each variation of the types, so yeah... if you want to tell me what your 'personality type' is, then I can give you yours :D

Anyway, here's a Death Note one. lulz.

I AM NOT DEAD.

I WILL NOT DIE FROM THESE FINALS. I ONLY HAVE TOMORROW, AND THEN I'M DONE then I can crawl in a hole and die in the fetal position.

I WILL NOT FAIL, I WILL NOT FAIL.

I WILL FINISH EVERYTHING.

I AM SO FUCKED.

I find it kind of odd that practically every time (9/10 times, I guess) I put my iPod on shuffle, the first song it picks is 'Hannah Hold On.'

I never asked to be sorry
If it's over it's over for sure
I don't regret that I didn't want to
Remember what all this was for

So this is all we can do
What news is in store
How come starting over
Would be frowned on anymore

Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
It's all been said
It's all been done

I never witnessed bitter like this
I think I've been shot in cold blood
You won't admit it and I won't be around
Just so I hear the applause

This isn't all we can do
When in doubt should move on
No need to sort it all out
By the time you read this i'll be gone

Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
It's all been said
It's all been done
Hang on

You only disappoint the ones who don't believe

Hannah hold on

I never asked to be sorry
If it's over it's over for sure


... Wha?

So first of all, I'm not dead. Sometimes I wonder, but I'm not. For better or worse.

I currently have two jobs for the summer, and it looks to be another 6 day/8 hrs a day work week. But I need the money, so alright.

I read this article in a magazine and it may be a whole load of rubbish, but I don't know... it made me feel a little bit better self-image-wise, so I'll put it here.

Don' want a blow-up doll )

She's got a lot of issues
Like a good magazine
The kind you'd find under my bed
If you know what I mean
'Cause Mother would trip if she saw
the way that girl wears her clothes
to the L3 shows

I got my fingers crossed
She'll say "18"
Lie through lip-gloss
and say "18"
Tonight
Tonight you're the girl with the big date
And I've become the guy that I used to hate

She's never turned down
And she's never down twice
"Getting lucky" for her ain't luck
It's just naming a price
'cause Father, he bounced her around
And I got the rebound

I got my fingers crossed
She'll say "18"
Lie through lip-gloss
and say "18"
Tonight
Tonight you're the girl with the big date
And I've become the guy that I used to hate

Jacque, are you all right?
Does your face burn?
And do the black lights make your guts turn?
Jacque, are you all right?
Do your ears burn?
And do the black lights make your guts turn
Inside out? outside in
between
Between the dust and the stars
Say "18"

I got my fingers crossed
She'll say "18"
Lie through lip-gloss
and say "18"
Tonight

I got my fingers crossed
She'll say "18"
Lie through lip-gloss
and say "18"

Say "18"
Tonight
Say "18"
Tonight
Say "18"


Well look at that.

Dug out my Bright Eyes CD and now I'm listening to it.

I think I've lost my fucking mind. But it's soothing me right now.

Right, happy April Fool's everyone, by the way. *forgot again*

Well, it all worked out in the end sort of. Which is relieving. Although of course my mom begs to differ... she's pissed now because I didn't really take care of yet another related facet to this whole application thing ;;XD

I'm just a last minute kid, I think. Or I'm just always late. It's a tough way to be, but it works out in the end pretty much.

There's a reason I wear contacts.

Off to get a shot now. woo.

O: 333. My memories are half evil.

It's over (thank goodness, I would have lost [[whatlittleIhaveleftof]] my mind if it continued much more), but now I'm wondering if this is just the calm before the storm or if now I'm in the eye of it.

Eff you every freaking form of instant messaging. I hate all of you right now.

And, like most resolutions, I don't think that mine lasted very long. at. all. It managed to last until... uhh... 2 weeks into the new year? Not too bad. *eyeroll*
