Crazy weekend at Chez Mudd

[valarltd]

Friday, I took Bunny and Fairy out for dinner. Dragon China, their choice. And then we went to the Galleria. They got t-shirts from the Disney store. Bunny's has Dory from Finding Nemo on it. Fairy's had Tigger. We got some earrings at Claires. I couldn't find a Lost Desert Aisha plushie to add to my hat anywhere.

Saturday, after work, we watched Teen Angst Specials (they were Afterschool Specials when I was a kid). One hosted by Samuel L. Jackson about Middle School. I had Obi watch it with Bunny and me. They covered Bullying, Depression, Drugs, Sex and Sexual Orientation. Bunny got a great comeback to use against some of the girls who are giving her grief. (For every incident she tells me of, I know there are a dozen more she doesn't.) Obi was kind of freaking out. He's only 10, but some of those kids were barely 12. The quote I find most interesting, "Oral sex has nothing to do with me, or my body." I also told Bunny there was a GLBT youth center in Memphis, and she said she'd like to visit.

Then we watched Thirteen. I suspect there will be many talks in weeks to come as we process.

I practiced drawing. Luke came out fine until I hit his face. He's got a weird face. Good-looking, but hard to draw. His upper lip is very long without looking like it, and his ANH nose is odd, and it only gets worse.

I ran out of claret yarn. I'm crocheting a Celtic spiral afghan for MWC. It's coming nicely, I'm about 1/3 of the way done. I also have the Scissor-Keeper mostly stitched in black and red.

Mudd went out for pop very late. And I wondered why it was taking him 45 minutes. He got stuck. Between the shelves, reaching for the last carton of pop. He has a bruise across his chest from it.

Can anyone point me to full screen, digital source for SW? My vids all look like I'm channelling El Greco through a pixelation filter.

Are kids at school giving Bunny grief? Lord, at my school, nobody gives a crap. Most of my friends are either bi or gay, and nobody else gives any of us any crap. (that might be because we (a)avoid the preps and (b) compose the theatre department and illustration club, but whatever works)

My school theatre department just put on the Laramie Project, about the murder of Matthew Shepherd. It was interesting (I got bored in Physics and read the play one day) and I think it says something about my school that they would let the department put on a play about such a controversial subject. I signed a petition in the fall to start the school's GSA, but I don't think it'll start till next year, and I'll be far, far away. (alas)
... what was the point of this? O_O; *senile*

She's taking some guff.

There is a big difference between 7th grade and 12th grade for maturity. The kids who aren't coping at 12 and 13 might do better when they're 16 and 17.
