FUCK.  The one time I need to talk to a Japanese speaker NO ONE ANSWERS THEIR GODDAMN PHONES.  I called like 8 people and not a single person answered. 

A few weeks ago this lady (who I think lives in the building) stopped me outside and tried talking to me, asking me for some kind of help and I have no idea what about.  Today she came to my door asking me for something but I have no fucking clue what she wanted.  She kept saying "doctor", "secret" and kept asking me if Mr Nashi was coming back or if I was Mr (or Ms.) Nashi or something?  FUCK.  She seemed really freaked out and I bet you she needs to go to the doctor (she said something about going to tomorrow by herself and then coming to talk to me?  Or wanting me to come?  What??) and she doesn't have a gaijin card (she spoke good enough Japanese but she might be Korean) or health insurance and wants help from me.  What the hell am I supposed to do about it, if that's the case? 

Then she asks me how much are "chippu" and I have no idea what she's talking about and then tries to give me 300 yen.  I am on the phone calling everyone under the sun and she just keeps repeating yourself.  Maybe this is kind of narrow minded on my part, but if you're going to ask a (fellow?) foreigner for help, wouldn't you figure out how to say something in English?  Or bring something?  I don't know.  Rather than stand outside my door and just repeat yourself and mutter "What am I going to do?" and hop from one foot to the other.  I feel bad because it's for a legit reason and she was really shy and freaked out about something... but I can't help you.  I have no idea what the problem is, and even if I did, I probably couldn't do anything anyway. 

I'm really angry and frustrated now.  I need to cook... luckily she rang the doorbell I guess because my alarm never went off.  Oh, because I set it for 7am.  Go team.

EDIT: Fuck, so like an hour after I need them, everyone calls me back (EXCEPT ANDREW AND KAZUYA. FUCK.).  Taka actually called me back.  Why does he have a girlfriend?  Seriously.  Karma likes to fuck with me.  He would be so perfect... Oh well.

I just heard about some crazy ultra-right-wing-douchebagery on the Savage Lovecast: The Pill Kills

I... I am speechless.  I have never really been one for the protesting but I do feel there is a line that needs to be drawn somewhere. We used to have the Canadian wing of the Genocide Awareness Project come to my university and "inform" people (aka equate abortion with genocide with super graphic pictures from the Holocaust and Rwanda) and my friends from Womyn's Centre, Pride and assorted activist groups protested them coming to campus.  No, not that they came but they brought the fucking pictures.  I supported the proesting from afar because I couldn't stomach the posters [GRAPHIC CONTENT THERE, I WARN YOU].

I really wonder where people get their rhetoric from.  How do they come up with these ideas to justify their protesting?  And why protest!  Everyone should be able to have their own opinions and people should be able to say, "Alright, that's cool.  If that's what you think, that's great."  They're probably thinking, "Man, you're really fucked up and screwed in the head but that's your damn business."  Some might actually say it.  But whatever. 

This might very well be the lazy bitch in me speaking... but seriously.  What's the point?

I realize now that there may be some people may agree with these Pill Kill losers ... ahem, people.  That's great.  Stick by your guns.  Two thumbs up.

I have to agree with Dan Savage on this one: "If I were getting married, on my wedding night, at 23 -- which is a stupid fucking thing to do.  You shouldn't be having a wedding night at 23, you should, you know... if he's The One, you should wait until you're 33 and then you should fucking marry him." 

Amen, sister.
