don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?

Sometimes, I fucking hate my country. Then, I give myself a slap and realise that, nope, I just hate Blair. Emperor Blair of the Disunited Kingdom. I just keep wondering who 'The Public' he's always referring to actually is. Not anyone I know. Plus, I don't need him to patronise me, I have enough tossers in my life already.

Oh, plus, I think I may have decided upon my research proposal. Something to do with working class females and higher education. And, wow, I'm already ahead because of the personal experience thing! Woo hoo!

Spent too much money on Amazon. Bought:

-Scarface

-'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera

-'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Ernest Hemingway

-and a bunch of lesbian history books, because I've been giving it a lot of thought recently, about the people who came before and all that. I take it all for granted, how good I have it really, even compared to a lot of other people today. Even back when my grandad came out, he was having to hide in basement clubs with Peter and had people whispering and gossiping and all that bullshit.

Had an argument with the brother monster about whether 'Miss' or 'Ms' is more appropriate. I refuse to answer to 'Miss', unless it's an old person addressing me. It makes me feel like an old spinster, and bugger that! My brother informed me in this really arrogant tone that girls like changing their names when they get married. Yes, ALL girls, because he's an expert, so worldly, the boy who hides behind me when we go to London, because he thinks he's going to be gunned down by every member of an ethnic minority that passes us. Sheppey is such a freak show hall of mirrors, reality is completely distorted.

"I feel bad that people think that "feminism" is a dirty word. I don't understand that at all, I'm proud to be labelled a feminist. I consider myself a person who has throughout my entire life stood up for myself. It's never been my ambition to be someone who takes a backseat to anything. I'm not a male basher at all. I divide people into assholes and non-assholes, and that's genderless." ~ Janeane Garafolo
