Annette in Training
I had just finished about 2 chapters in the readings that I was suppossed to do. My roommate has now come back, and boy she aint a quiet one. I'd say she's an Annette in training, one of my.... uhm.. former roomies with a bad track record. Thankgod she's not a fullblown reincarnation of her... but yah she sometimes talks too much and is very hypocritical when it comes to her diet (at least I think so). Now that she is going to take a shower I might finally get half a chapter in!
On another note, I notice there are some people who royally put me down. David on occassion does this, but he's been much much much better these past few weeks. I enjoy being treated as an equal! I would also like to describe myself as intelligent, so I don't understand why on occasion I run across people who treat me as if I am a blonde. Sometimes I understand that Men don't always think highly of women... I experience that almost too much. But it is really great to have a meaningful conversation with someone who doesn't think of you as a sex object, who thinks of you as an intelligent being with alot to say. Needless to say, sometimes my roommate seems to treat me as this blonde I have described. Yes I have a few issues, such as I am a product of American schooling. Thus I cannot do math very quickly in my head, I am bad in subjects like history and foreign affairs, thus I get test anxiety, thus I forget things because my brain deems them unworthy and I occasionally may sound a little weird. I really like being someplace where what I say matters, where what I say makes a difference, where what I do or suggest is praised as worthy input. Today my boss wanted some input on the visual effects of his flyer, and I offered my suggestion and even did the editing for him (He liked my end result - he's always praising me for having initiative ^_^ ). And like tonite David said I made better chicken katsu than he did. :) It is a silly thing, I know... but I am such a depressive maniac I relish every tiny bit of praise I can get. Makes me feel proud, and makes me feel like someone is acknowledging me for something that I should be proud of.

I don't mean to put you down, I think very highly of you. Slap me (or at least say something) when you feel like I'm putting you down so I'll recognize it and try to not do it again.
(your katsu tonight was very very yummy ^_^, invite me over for dinner anytime!)
