Quick nightmare
Jun. 18th, 2012 04:18 pmAnd I was struggling to get out of it until I got a phone call from my landlady, too.
Anyway, so there was some stuff about fabric shopping and I was living in a motel room (that looked more like a warehouse inside with gray concrete walls and bed and all). Had all my belongings there.
So people were going in and out of my room, for various reasons, making phone calls, taking naps (because I let them do that), watching TV and they were complaining about my teddy bear and Bugs Bunny. I had no idea what the hell was going on? But everyone kept mentioning it. I thought it was a TV show or something. But when I went into my room, my teddy bear (and I shall add; I do have a brown teddy bear, that I've had since childhood, who I call "Jemaplay"--pronounced juh-mah-play--because I had no idea how to pronounce the words I saw on the tag when I saw it, which read "Je m'appelle Teddy") was toddling around my bed, hugging a Bugs Bunny doll and kinda talking to itself, nonsensically.
I've never owned a Bugs Bunny plush in my life, and anyway, my teddy was talking like a toddler, so I was getting pretty freaked out watching it. Pretty sure there was a ghost inhabiting my teddy bear's body. And I couldn't do anything about it.
Anyway. Not nice. Feeling too discombobulated to go back to sewing right now so will futz around on Tumblr instead.

hopefully
it won't be too bad
me: what kinda massive reply post?
Jaded: About cultural appropriation
and casteism
me: yes but like
agreeing or disagreeing or what?
Jaded: agreeing and then some disagreeing
more like "I see, but also this"
me: nod
Jaded: hopefully it won't be too bad
me: what do you mean, too bad?
Jaded: still nervous around her
me: ah, ok
well
she gives off that air
of superiority
but it's like
she's just awesome
Jaded: I'm sure she's the sweetest
and yes, she is
me: even when she disagrees with me and schools me
i dont feel like i've wasted my time
just wish i hadn't wasted her time
Jaded: EXACTLY
JESUS
I DON'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT HER
me: it's like i just want the Ardhra Seal Of Approval
Jaded: is that weird?

me: i dunno
Jaded: I really, really don't want to make her sad/angry
I don't even know her and want her approval
