verbminxi've been awake all day on and off, but am just chilling in bed. soon i am going to read. maybe watch American Psycho later.
mom is being much nicer to me; she went out to pick up some things and is bringing back food later. I got most of the major bills (phone, electric, cable) done last night, and have mostly things like credit cards to do tonight.
last night i had a political discussion with autumnthought... not really an argument, but a discussion. she is a little more conservative in certain ways than you would expect, & i told her that i think she takes liberalism for granted because of how prevalent it has been in her environment (mostly urban, some suburbs of large cities). it was very hard to explain my environment, the south and the bible belt and extreme outer suburbia, but i think she understood a little better once i did. a sticker on your car like the darwin fish or "pro-woman, pro-family, pro-choice" is very likely to get your car vandalized, for one; the public school dress code is very strict & against unnatural haircolours or "unusual" dress (IE punx not welcome); this county is mostly Republican; there was a women's clinic with a house across the street which Operation Rescue bought; etc. I used to play "every day is like sunday" a lot: "this is the coastal town that they forgot to drown"... but that was when i was a great deal more morose than i am now. (imagine!)
i'm going to read for a while and paint for a while. i'm thrilled that my legs don't hurt as much today... nothing does, i am starting to feel a little bit better. i suppose since this is pretty much my third day in bed, i should do some housework too.
