Also, the Durham government website is totally impossible to navigate. I can't even figure out where that section would be. Though I've been told I can't file for unemployment, so I guess it really doesn't matter. Ugh.

It'll take weeks to go through, but the sooner you start the sooner it'll kick in. Hopefully you won't need it, but if you do, it'll be good to have. Plus, applying helps keep the numbers of people affected by the economy real. You need more pictures of cookies :)

Hmm, maybe because "weird" only has one syllable and is sorta common, I didn't notice you overusing it. Oh! you said it twice. You must have taken some "effective writing" class in the last few years that haunts you... I really want to eat savoury foods with the word "cakes" in the name. What are your favorite? I nd yr address for to send cardigan. I should double check that it hasn't grown a WEIRD thrift store smell or a "house full of cats and young people" smell in the last few weeks. You still want it? I have no idea how you wash the damn thing. But probably by hand, if you can be arsed. -tee yeah really, weirdo. you sound like a broken record, except not.

]]> Comment on me, atheism, privilege, blah by sugarpunk http://thelittlebaker.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/the-privilege-of-atheism/#comment-45 sugarpunk Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:39:16 +0000 http://thelittlebaker.wordpress.com/?p=124#comment-45 I know what you mean, to some extent at least. I spent a good part of the last two years as part of Barb Fredrickson's Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology lab at UNC, and taking coursework on emotions and physiology, and being more positive and more cheerful makes a significant difference in your quality of life - not just in the day to day, but in the long term as well. There's a lot to be said for it. It's ironic on some ways that those who most need the benefits of this are least likely to reap them. It's hard to be positive when you are in pain, or hungry, or afraid for your life or those of your children. Religion allowing people to look beyond the present to encompass positivity is really helpful - but they don't call if the opiate of the masses for nothing. I did not grow up with religion and I don't really understand it personally, but I have a lot of issues with it. I know what you mean, to some extent at least.

Have written that. For some reason, it's so hard to connect with people here, and after two years of that, it's hard not to feel like it's me. (It's not - I go back up north and everything is magically cool, with cute boys/girls hitting on me and everything, and cool people as friends, and stuff.) Dealing with pain and physical crap doesn't help, either. I hope the doctor's been helpful for you! I'm trying meditation, although I think the buddhist bits might drive me a little nuts (the neuroscientist parts of my brain keep arguing with them inside my head). oh gods, I could have written that.
