magedragonfireFrivolous stuff first!
1. I have the Pokérus! I noticed it this morning after having been in the Great Marsh of Pastoria. :D Picked it up somewhere, anyways, and now my entire team + some is infected with it. Hooray for viruses that are actually good!
Uh, and if anyone wants one of theirs infected, let me know and we can trade maybe.
2. I don't remember what was going to go here.

This comes at just about the most perfect time to turn me into a feministic ball of rage, too, because I've been noticing more and more instances of casual misogyny lately - just little things, things that most people would probably brush off and never think of later, but things that made my eyebrows twitch just the barest hint, wondering how I'm supposed to respond - 'oh, is that supposed to be cute?', but it really isn't.
Like earlier tonight, when a friend's co-worker made an off-colour comment about women in computing, maybe not knowing that I was one, or maybe even knowing. I jokingly motioned hitting him with my shoulder bag... But I really should've slugged him, now that I think about it.
Hell, it even ties in with the thoughts I had this morning about sex and morality and why it got to be so evil in so many societies.
I just... Don't know what I want to say about it at the moment. There may or may not be following-up words on this later. I don't know.
I do want to know things, though. How we got to be this way. Why we're demonized and put on pedestals at exactly the same time. Why we aren't expected to be able to make decisions for ourselves about our health care, morals, religions, anything. Why we're only celebrated in so many forms of media for a) our sex appeal, b) how few brains we can appear to have (and therefore how helpless we are), and c) later, when all that kind of goes away, how many babies we can pump out. Forget about being celebrated for ourselves. It's always something else. Why can wars be fought in the name of freedom, and yet, for half of the population, nothing changes?
It all makes me horribly, horribly angry.
