What's made your day?

:O! Now I wish we had those in Denmark

I knew that, but I enjoy eating out of a box more.

Bummer, the only place that delivers around here just uses paper plates

And, I wonder if his statement is to address the idea that the only reason he got the position was because he's Indigenous..

But, just the fact that this is something he has to even think about shows that racism *is* a thing.. how often would you hear the other side of it said:
"Look I know there's been a lot of talk in the media about my heritage, but I want people to look at me for what I've achieved, not because I'm a white person who has made it to this position."

The thing about privilege is that those who have it don't *have* to ever think about it, where as those without it are constantly reminded of other people's privilege and their own marginalisation. You will never hear the following, because these people will never be in the position where they have to explain their rise to status.. the default idea of power in our society is white, straight, able-bodied/minded, cis-gendered men:

"Look I know there's been a lot of talk in the media about my gender, but I want people to look at me for what I've achieved, not because I'm a man who has made it to this position."

"Look I know there's been a lot of talk in the media about my sexuality, but I want people to look at me for what I've achieved, not because I'm an heterosexual person who has made it to this position."

"Look I know there's been a lot of talk in the media about my disability, but I want people to look at me for what I've achieved, not because I'm an able-bodied person who has made it to this position."

I know, that's what made it interesting, the fact that he had to make this statement, because most of the mainstream media were playing on the issue.

The examples you used are a great way of bringing up the issues, so people can understand it.

Ape: I'm going to read your post later hun, my brain has switched off, because I'm starting to let all the stressful things take hold, because I'm so tired. Thank you for taking time out to address my question. I really appreciate it.

I've always got time for you, batty. *adorable grin complete with eyelash batting*

I met my very first real-life vampire hunter today!
It was one of those situations, two people are about to cross paths ending in a collision. So I stopped up to let this guy pass. He stops as well(perhaps to check if I could cross his path) and lets me pass. Now, this man was VERY Christian-looking. Crosses, ikons and pictures of saints around his neck and a walking cane with Jesus in the shape of a cross and something I think might have been rosary beads.
Then, he stops me and asks "You are not afraid of this?" (here he points to the cross on his cane as he did not speak Danish very well - perhaps from Transylvania?) I asnwered no.
"And you like the sun?" to which I answered yes - I was wearing my daylight ring after all.
After this, he simply walked away. So I managed to avoid the stake this time, but I should be more careful!

I finished watching Legend. What I got from it was that The Lord Of Darkness is a Nice Guy™, which I would kinda suspect Satan to be. Its one of those movies that's gorgeous, but I had a hard time keeping track of things. What happened to Jack's sword? Why didn't he get pants? What's the point of getting armour if you're just going to run around with no pants? Why doesn't LOD hit him in the legs? Why when Satan backhands Lili in the face that somehow puts her under a spell?

[Versus]

Now I need to watch it again to figure out what you're talking about. D:

[Timeless Rebellion]

I was sick and tired of Illustrator's Gradient Mesh Tool acting up, so I googled "Ass with wings" and found this...

[BourbonBoy]

Bwahahaha! That's too funny Timeless.

I can't believe I just spent almost six hours talking to someone I barely know on the phone. But it was a fun filled conversation and looking forward to calling her again tomorrow evening.

[Miss Absynthe]

I know that feeling, BB.. the first conversation I had with Ulf (in text) went for over 17 hours. When we talked on Skype for the first time it was over 8 hours.

We often talk for numbers of hours at a time, and it never feels like enough.

Do you like her? Or do you *like* like her?

[Versus]

lol. Before I trolled Saya, we talked for a long time, too.

[BourbonBoy]

At the moment we just like each other, since both of us have been through a lot in our previous relationships. While we both don't want a serious relationship off the bat, we're just going to start as friends and see how it goes.

I miss feeling like that.

Getting new glasses so that I can finally not have to wear my contacts all the time totally made my day. AND the prescription isn't fucked up like the last pair I got so I can actually see well, yeeeahhh!

[Xombie]

I'm such a hipster.

Also, I hate that I said "so that I can..."

Don't feel bad - grammar is too mainstream anyway.

Amazing sex with the most gorgeous friend who I've had a bit of a thing for over the last 6 months.

What is this "sex" you mention? I appear to have forgotten.

[Timeless Rebellion]

Oh my god Jaye, that was just pure epic xD

[Class-Punk]

What made my day today was finding some chill ass Nu-Disco.

[AshleyO]

I just realized that I have more money to my name than what I owe in student loans. Basically, if I was desperate, I could write a check tomorrow and eliminate my debt forever. Unfortunately, that'd make me even more poor. But I am now basically out of the woods on this fucker.
