I'd like to think

that somewhere,

rain is falling on your leaves &

that somewhere

you are happy.

Getting called a bitch

It was pretty great that yesterday, while walking the lake, I got shouted at like I was the Superbowl: "HEY GIRL YOU LOOKIN' GOOD DAMN WHAT'S UP." I figured that maybe I would try something different* to see what would happen.

*Note: So many people (MEN) claim that they just women would communicate and be direct regarding whether or not we're interested in them rather than just "laughing it off" or ignoring comments that make us feel intimidated or uncomfortable.

So instead of blowing by him or being outwardly shitty, I stated very calmly, "Perhaps shouting at women on the street isn't the best way to try to go about whatever it is you're doing." He seemed shocked that I actually responded to his mating call of retardation and then, still shouting, went, "FUCK YOU BITCH IT'S HUMAN NATURE." At this point, I proceeded to raise my hand up behind my head and flick him off. From there, I got another fuck you. But it was definitely more satisfying than the last.

It makes me feel very despondent and disappointed that a cat caller would attempt to save face and state that shouting at women on the street is human nature. Very sad indeed, especially when you realize that cat callers feel the need to justify their own maladjusted actions. But considering people have been saying women "dressed a certain way" in which to incite rape, or "shouldn't be blamed for 20 minutes of action," it really doesn't surprise me. And that is the saddest part of all.

Eventuals

Here are my top 5 destinations I hope to visit someday:

• Antarctica (some pretty cool cruises available)

• Egypt (pyraminds, Valley of the Kings, Mount Sinai - pretty much everything)

• New Zealand (so I can cry about LOTR and then kill myself)

• Japan (Ōkunoshima with all de bun buns, Tashirojima for all de cats, Nara for de deer, or even fucking Zao Fox Village)

• Ukraine (Chernobyl would be both creepy and interesting) 

Very specific places that would be awesome to visit:

• Italy (Colosseum, Pantheon, etc. Or specifically the Ponte Vecchio so I could throw myself off it while singing O Mio Babbino Caro)

• England (for a Jane Austen tour)

• Hotel de Glace, Quebec (it's made from fucking ICE)

• Chateau Madelinot (to watch the BABY HARP SEALS)

• Exuma, Bahamas (to go swimming with feral pigs?????)

• Norfolk Island (found this one day while admiring their flag, then realized it looks badass and has a bay named Emily Bay)

• Seychelles (since it is massively underrated and looks gorgeous)

• Morocco (because I always liked it at EPCOT and then looked it up and it still seems dope)

• Sossusvlei Dunes, Namibia (because it reminds me of that Windows XP desktop which gives me saudade)

• Hotel Kakslauttanen in Saariselkä, Finland (because they have igloos in which to watch the northern lights)​
