I'm female with a girlfriend... I must be a deviant. eyeroll

So Lacey has a bit of a problem with her neck. She was in a car wreck two years ago and she is still suffering the effects. Last night, she took her Soma and her Vicodin and she went to sleep shortly thereafter. I was woken up in the middle of the night by her in complete agony. She's so sweet and she's got such a pretty voice, the sounds of pain and tears do not suit her. I tried helping any way I could. Gave her more pills, held her, and she eventually got back to bed. I didn't.

I was supposed to have a doctors appointment today for my back. But I was too tired to drive and those pills do a job on her, so I called to cancel. I could have gone to sleep at 6:00 AM, but I stayed up so I could let them know I wouldn't be coming. Should've just gone to bed...

Secretary: Signature Orthopedics, can I help you?

Me: Yes, my name is Rachael Wickham and I have an 11:15 I need to cancel...

Secretary: Why are you cancelling?

Me: I was up all night with my girlfriend and I need sleep.

Secretary: *Pause* ...You were with your girlfriend? (I sensed a tinge of sarcasm)

Me: Yeah... Wait! What?! She was sick you fucking cunt! Who the fuck are you to say shit like that?!

Secretary: No, no...

Me: No, fuck you! What? They don't teach professionalism in Haiti?! I'm calling your fucking boss, you goddamn jungle bunny! Go float home with your 37 fucking kids! Yeah, stereotypes suck, don't they?! *Click*

I can't believe it's 2015 and there are STILL people who do not comprehend that love comes in all shapes, sizes and genders. Why is this so hard to grasp?! But then I suppose there are also people who still believe that dinosaurs are fake and the world was created in 6 days. This species is embarrassing.

I probably wouldn't have gotten so mad if she hadn't decided to be such a fucking smart ass about it. Had it been Lacey on the phone and that happened, I would've gone up there... I've dealt with the ignorance, this is all new to Lacey. But yeah, it's time for people to stop worrying about who goes to bed with who and focus on something more important. Like, I don't know... Themselves? Nah...

Mad As Hell

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone." Well, I'm not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you've got to get mad. You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!" So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!" - Howard Beale "Network"
