kbkI went to see The Vagina Monologues - featuring smiley smiley Carol Smillie - and I liked it quite a lot. There was a possibly-drunk woman who did actually yell for the Clit Fact, twice, and about four men in the entire theatre, and about ten people sitting in my row and the one in front left at the interval, and a couple of rows in front of me was a girl in school uniform with two middle-aged women, and the bit about tampons and gyno exams actually fit in quite well with some of the feminist lit I've been reading lately, and... something. The ones that are springing to mind are the really depressing ones. But was mostly funny. And could tell that the three of them were enjoying themselves - despite the fact that I really do need new glasses as they were a bit blurry from my seat in the second-back-row.
I have, actually, sent off the form to see if I get money for glasses. So I might have glasses in a month or so.
Yesterday I did not get out of bed until the afternoon. Hush, is secret. It was partly out of tired, partly not wanting to go to group, partly not wanting to go to placement. And since the person I'm shadowing wasn't on yesterday, and nobody really knew where I was supposed to be, it appears nobody noticed I wasn't there. And I lied to parentals, and mentor-person, and probably I'm a really bad person for doing that but it's not like they're paying me and it's not like I would have got much done anyway and I can compensate for the, oh, four hours of work I might have put in by doing stuff over the weekend. Today did not get much done at all. Placement is still fun and interesting; there is bitching about management and such, and people not turning up for meetings, and then there are people asking me things because I have a 'staff' badge and sometimes I can answer them! and I made a library card for a new user the other day all by myself, and tidied shelves and put books face-on and stuff. Also, wrote out a couple of hundred cardboard sleeves for CDs, and then put them all in number order (of the barcodes - sleeve is just barcode, artist, title, and CD/DVD/MVD) which was time-consuming but oddly satisfying. At one point I was sitting on the tiled floor with piles of these things around me, just bopping away to the music in my head. Mmm, numbers. But, yes, today was kind of bland - people didn't turn up, and then I was just... there. Whateves, had no brain anyhow. Really will get to work on project next week though. In fact, aim for this weekend, sort out the changing boundaries of Partick. Because that will be useful for me but also an interesting thing that can go in the folders. Yes.
I think when I go to group I will apologise for being off and blame it on tired, and... huh. there's a thing that I thought that I wasn't ready to discuss and still might not be, I'll have to wonder about that. But distracting tactic is talking about going to VM and leading into the female-ness thing. Which I might do anyway just to freak the boys out. Because that's my way of showing affection, don't you know.
Speaking of boys. I went to MacD's on the way home and there were two high-school boys and one of them said something about me - "she reminds me of..." - and I didn't hear who, and it probably wasn't particularly complimentary but it didn't seem actively insulting, and that surprised me. And I just. Why should that surprise me? So, hey, the body issues thing, whatever, just reminding myself that other people don't necessarily see me the way I do. And maybe when that boy asked me out, way back when, he wasn't entirely joking. And. Huh.
Ow, ow, there is a knot in my shoulder and I can actually feel it with my fingers, which is rare, because I'm not good at that sort of thing. So, um, massage-thing, where is it. OK. I am so babbly now. Ho-hum sorries etceteeeeera.
