I think I'm funny

I think I'm pretty funny sometimes. Like, when my conservative cousin got engaged, and I wrote on her bridal shower page on Facebook "Hey, remember when you made fun of me for working at Victoria's Secret? I bet you wished I still worked there now. ;)" Her fiance who I have never met was the only one who liked the status. I thought it was pretty funny, but knowing everyone else they probably thought it was just inappropriate. Lame.

Or the time that my co-worker came back from lunch and smelled like beer. Our student union is in an old brewery, so it is very possible to get some beer during lunch if one wanted. Anyways. I felt the need to tell him he smelt like beer. He was like, no, I just put some hand sanitizer on. And I said, I know what hand sanitizer smells like, and you smell like beer. Either you're lying or you've got a yeast infection. It took him a minute to laugh at that one.

Hahaha, this one cracks me up the most. Sammy was in the bathroom and I wanted to get him good, so I pulled his trashcan out and sat on it. Then I grabbed a book and some pants and bunched them up at my feet so it looked like my pants were down. (They weren't.) He walks in and is like why are you reading my math book, OH MY GOSH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! And I said, I really had to pee and you were using the bathroom so I improvised. He took the trashcan from me and made sure I didn't actually pee in it. Hahahaha I can't stop laughing right now thinking about it.

Although, if I'm going to be completely honest, I had to pee really really bad and when I first sat down on the trashcan my bladder was like oh! Let's go. Don't worry, only a teeny tiny dribble came out. I feel like this detail adds to the funniness of the situation.

Sammy's funny too! I'm just too busy laughing at myself to think of all the times he makes me laugh. :)

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
