Happy Birthday, Trudy!
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Happy birthday, Trudes!
And holy crap! I actually got an e-mail from the president of the dealerships and he totally apologized on behalf of Oak Tree Mazda and said he'll be talking to both the general manager and the salesman personally and he intends to have my scratch fixed until I am 100% satisfied, as he would like to earn my business and keep it! Iiiinteresting. Things are looking up on that front.
Happy birthday, Trudy!
{{{Ginger and Bitches}}} back. I feel slightly calmer this morning, but my stomach is doing acrobatics when I think about it. I expect few more fights and clashes about this, and some more tears. I never knew how to hide my true feelings about anything, so I find it hard to be in the same room with my parents and pretend that everything is alright. They really think it's something I will be able to adjust to, and they're so, so wrong. While yes, this isn't a black-and-white situation, and there will be ways I'll be able to kick the system's ass, the day I'll "adjust" to this idea will be the day I won't be able to call myself leftist any longer.
Next week I have two interviews in human right agenda. One is for internship at the Ministry of Justice's human trafficking fight branch. The other is partial scholarship at a feminist Jewish-Arab organization, working in "bad" areas, helping to and torturing kids. And I feel now like a huge hypocrite, going to those interviews with the very real option that I might live in a sort of a place which make their interests so much harder.
Also. I have no idea what to say in such cases, but I know it's the 9/11 anniversary. Despite being from the Land of the Randomly Explosive Buses, I can't even imagine what you've been through that day, but I do know it sucks beyond belief. I know that unease when realizing the date-of-past-discomfortable-event, or when unease you "forgot" to feel the unease. Just take a deep breath. I don't know if it'll make it easier, but breathing is important, and might give yourself few seconds of rest before continue facing the world today. {{{Buffistas}}}
Happy birthday, Trudy!
