okay, i surrender
okay, i give in.. its cold. yes, its cold its cold its cold. when i woke up this morning it was 18 degrees. even for the mountains of southwestern virginiia that is cold.
and being that my body is stiff from a long walk with my miriam last night its even worse. agh. agh.
my apartment has crappy crappy heat, and it has crappy crappy insulatin, so i'm sitting here in a long sleeve shirt, a wool sweater, a fleece hat, my treasured fleece blanket, and capeline tights. i slept with a skull cap on underneath the fleece hat and cats on my body. thank goddess for the cats. i'm gonna go for a swim at the y today. the pool is 84 degrees, and then i'll take a dip in the whirlpool which is 90 degrees. yeehaww!
oh goodness.
and finally. the guy at the passport office was really rude yesterday when i went to pick up an application. he looked at me and said, very rudely, "are you over 18?" to which i repliled (and should have been just as rude), "i'll be 30 in february." yeesh! then he was a real fuck about my quandry about the m. brooke thing. the m. brooke on every piece of id and tickets to greece vs the m_____ (full first name) brooke which appears on my birth certificate. i'd like the passport to say m. brooke. he implied that it would take the full 5 months to work this out. that stupid fuck. *roll eyes* if he's there when i go back in i might ask him if every government worker is as rude as him and if he only looks at the height of people when asking about ages. yeesh. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. i am so fucking pissed. how old do i have to be to age beyond 18?????????? i want wrnkles and gray hair!!!! seriously, i've been fighting this misappropiation of age all my life. people look at my height and simply make the assumption that i'm a kid. as an adult i know how we treat kids in our society, and it has caused me to treat kids with much more respect because i hate it. sorry, as you can tell its a sore subject with me.. but i'm almost 12 years past my 18th birthday and to get asked if i'm over 18.. its not a compliment. oh and i get that shit about how one day i'll appreciate it, but i don't buy into all that crap about wanting to remain young. no no no no no. i value aging. i value age. i value all ages. i celebrate each year cause each year i gain so much experience. no, i don't buy into this youth is more valuable crap. so, no, don't give me this "oh when you get older you'll love being asked if you are younger" crap.
agh. and on that note, i'm cold. and i need to wash my pits. miriam is gonna work on my bum shoulder this morning.. oh and i can't feel my fingers anymore.

Ohhh we're the same age! I'll be 30 in Feb too...lucky us. I always get asked for ID, I don't think I look under 18, but hey feels good, sometimes, WHEN I have my ID on me hahaha, of course usually it's when I don't. I was actually pulled into the B-Burg police Dept once because the ABC store thought I had fake ID...it was great, NOT!
As for it being cold?...freakin' FREEEEEEZING here!
