I think she's just collected them over years of reporting every time she comes across something like this. Which, she deserves a fucking medal. I couldn't do it, myself.

I think I went through every single named emotion and some that aren't. I'm posting it on facebook.

Wow. So true isn't it? I'm going to go watch Death Proof now. See a pathetic pervert get his arse kicked. Violence isn't the answer, but living vicariously through a movie isn't too bad, is it? Lol. Ah no helping the human race sometimes.

There's never anything wrong with catharsis. Personally, I find it more helpful to myself to read up on stuff, to learn about my power, to regain my worth by banding together with other survivors to battle the culture that leads to these abuses.

But Death Proof is a fuckin' awesome movie, so if it makes you feel better, I say go for it. (Get well, by the way. Aunt Irma visiting?)

Nope. No idea what's causing it. I've been sticking to my gluten free diet, but I've been feeling sick since Thursday.

Stabbing pains and cramping pains.
