Officially an alumni now.

Heading home tomorrow.

Saying goodbye to this room I’ve inhabited for two years.

Set things straight with Boy.  If I get a job/this job/come back soon, we will continue as we have been.  If not, we will be friends.  This is the best resolution that could have come out of this and I am pleased.  We have had a good time together, if nothing else.

Obnoxious roommate is being obnoxious and choosing to spend her last night vaguely packing with her boyfriend instead of maybe talking to us.

I’ll be glad to get out of this roommate situation, and I’ll look forward to getting a bigger place, but Tulane has been an amazing four years and I’m sad to see it go.

Going to graduate today wearing my burando.

This dress is so heavy, you guys, I’m going to melt.

So I just found a Tumblr that’s meant to be for Asian girls on Tumblr, like they write about things that affect them and other Asian women and that’s pretty cool.

But they have a “no white person commenting” policy, meaning they won’t accept asks from white people and they don’t want comments on reblogs from white people.

I see why this is something they’d want, since white people do tend to like to insert themselves in conversations that have nothing to do with them.

But 1) how do they even know if people are white?  If this person doesn’t have pictures up of themselves, how would they tell?

2) Where does this put me?  I’m not white.  But I’m not Asian (completely) either.  Am I allowed to ask questions or not?

Cosette stayed in the closet long after you guys had left, just to make sure. ^^;; I’m sorry she wasn’t more cuddly. ;;

It’s okay!

Tell her I’m sorry for invading her personal space.

Suppose a man makes unwanted social advances to a woman in, let’s say, a restaurant or theatre, and she eventually has to tell him loudly or angrily to get lost. She is the one who will be perceived as rude, hostile, aggressive, and obnoxious. His verbal aggression and invasiveness are accepted and expected; her rudeness (or mere curtness) in getting rid of him is noticed and condemned. One of our great myths is that a “real lady” can and should handle any difficulty, defuse any assault, without ever raising her voice or losing her manners. Female rudeness or violence in resistance to male aggression has often been taken to prove that the woman was not a lady in the first place, and therefore deserved no respect from the aggressor or sympathy from others.
