I love mine, she is the tiniest possible, with a funny voice and very delicate ways. She stops whenever she feels that I am tense, and makes soothing noises. She is very pretty also. I have to resist the impulse to ... I do not know, maybe just touch her while she is doing me. I have the impression that it would not be a cool thing to do. I never did a thing like that.

Every single day, it's like hell nothing changes.

But then again it's better than 32º fahrenheit and raining

Sorry had to rant about my weather and make fun of yours too, I can't help it.

and now, the rant:

Do you consider your parents' way - method - to teach you the manner, the way you think about the world... good, reasonable, suitable? I do. I haven't thought about this much, but when I moved out and got to know many other people from different places with various careers, I realized I should be thankful since my parents did a great job of bringing me up and helping me "see" the world from an aspect that differs from others'. They let me do anything I want to, because they know I won't do the stupid things.

See, I know this is confusing. I work part-time as the private tutor of a 11-year-old girl. Her father is okay, but her mom really should change her way of controling the kid's life. The mom's always telling me (and her daughter) that the kid HAS TO go to the best secondary school available (let me tell you, that school has the most bloody difficult entrance test ever known in human history). And if she ever fails that test, well, that will be disastrous because mommy has already told every friend of hers about her kid's intelligence, brightness, et cetera Mommy takes her kid to school every single day, and mommy will do that until the girl gets married. She isn't allowed to ride the bicycle 'cause it's too dangerous (I was to say aloud, "OMG this is fascism") She even has other plans for the poor girl's life: The girl will go to medical university. Then, she will do cosmetic surgeries (because surgeons are the richest in my country). She will also get married late because the otherwise scenario won't be good Creepy, huh?

Other things: The mother always asks her daughter if she's getting fatter or not, if this blouse goes with this skirt. That isn't good, I assure you! What's worse than a little girl at that age worrying about her getting fat, about fashion? She's too naive, too innocent for the thought!

So, I'm her tutor, right? I know the little girl isn't that smart to pass that absurd entrance test, or to be a medical student later when she reaches 18. Look, she's not dim-witted. She's bright in some other ways that her mom would never want her to: she's better at Literature than what she does with Maths, for instance. She likes to draw. She loves to read novels.

And above all, she has the right to decide for herself. Let her do that. Just don't interfere, please.

I must be very lucky.

My dentist is an extremely handsome Indian gentleman. He is also very gentle

and patient.

I had never really thought about it before.

no rant; nice weather

[Mortis]

The dentist that I used to go to in Canada had a form for me to fill out the first visit. One of the questions was, "What can the Hygienist do to make you visit more comfortable". I later asked the Hygienist what the strangest request they got was. She smiled and answered "Topless Hygienists" she also told me that the guy never came back, something about her being to rough with him.

I always think of that when I go to the Dentist, and remember that my comfort is directly proportionate to how polite I am to the lady with the sharp picks in my mouth.

You're wise beyond your years. Karma to you for recognizing your good parents...

Yeah, I like the weather to change. It made me crazy the year I lived in Phoenix and it was just hot and hotter.

Am I the only one who saw the post right after Wyn's hawking ebooks? Love spam, even better when the Mods get it before it's an eye sore Nice shot Mods

I just saw that via email. I can't believe people are still trying scams like this. We need to jail them all!
