TEXT RP BLOG WHAT?!

I found my old Text RP blog for

https://limitless-forte.livejournal.com 

at 

https://xx145-mutate.livejournal.com/ 

Evidently, I can never access it anymore since I don't know which e-mail it's attached to. So now I'm collating all the data for this archive.

WHY AM I NOT THAT CREATIVE ANYMORE. Actually, I am. I wonder what happened to my teammates. Hmm...

I think... that's about it. I like the premise of xx145, she's certainly got spunk and is my typical pretend drunk character brawler type person. Also, me at age 21 liked the RP. I mean... where was D&D at this time. Y I NOT KNOW?!

Quite Interesting.

TIL

Today I learnt that there's such a thing as Absurdism and it's very different from Nihilism...

And then, reading through articles made me realise I'm less of a Nihilist and more of an Absurdist because...

There's no real meaning to life but I try to live as well as I can and be a benefit to my society.

I feel I need to be more serious about dumping all the shiney trinkets and articles I find on the internet into this here blog. Here's a start.

This is a link for an article titled how to be an anticapitalist:

http://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/12/erik-olin-wright-real-utopias-anticapitalism-democracy/

It's a really good article, long read but well worth it.

LITANY AGAINST FEAR

"I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain."

-- Frank Herbert

Slowly rewatching all of the visual stuff for Frank Herbert's Dune before reading the main book.
No, I haven't read the book...
We'll see if I want to read the books that follow.

Found a thing on the internet that was interesting to read. Mayan Calendar and Zodiacs.

My write up is here. and I have no idea how it works. Will do more reading soon.
Also, I tested it on other sites as well and all answers popped up the same. No discrepancies.

How it works, apparently, is that I have a main sign called a Day sign, A Galactic Tone, and The Trecana Sign and finally, your Tree of Life.

Day Sign: Cauac (Rain)

Sometimes also called Storm. I guess ribut bila rasa hati berserabai? hahahaha...

Galactic Tone: Bolon (9)

What I find interesting is how this mirrors my Chinese life path (which is also 9) They really like doing math the same way. Add all the numbers until you only have one number remaining? THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Trecana Sign: Monkey

This is apparently my tree of life -- Which is funny given many cultures have a version of 'The Tree of Life'. I ain't complainin' -- Past: Monkey ; Destiny: Deer ; Female: Serpent ; Male: Cane

They all pretty much point me in the same direction as the rest of the hoobiegoobiespiritual life stuff.

Natural leader, healer, life of the party when I wanna be, Monster when I don't get what I want. Levelheaded monarch lel.

What else is new? *shrugs*

Note to self.

Community Creation through writing
- Write about your experiences, interactions with people, interactions with space.
- Keep writing to 5 minutes... cos that's about the amount of time for people to ramble and still be interesting.
- Videos are good (because people have short attention spans)

Dear me, in relation to the above topic.
You know all this. You ask anyway. Why?
Because you are lazy. Itu sahaja.

Also...
It suddenly occurred to me that I can be a mystery hotel shopper.
Who specialises in disability access.
Why have I not thought about this before?
How do I get into this?
TELL ME NIAUUU...

Malaysia is a weird country.
We do everything to protect disabled children and try to let them grow healthy and strong and smart.
BUT once they are grown they aren't allowed the ability to find work they want in the companies that have accepted them BECAUSE these companies aren't accessible and don't have disabled friendly facilities.
They aren't allowed to be independent BECAUSE everything around them wasn't made to allow them to do things themselves.
So how then, you've raised a disabled child to believe in themselves but society hasn't fought enough for equal rights to life and living because adults aren't as important as children.

When I think of this, I come to a conclusion that you should have let us die.

Also,
I just found out that Malaysia is a State signatory of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which I find interesting because nothing is done to follow this pun.

Also, someone wrote an entire Journal on Employment of PWD in Malaysia: Drivers and Inhibitors and it looks like there's more inhibitors than there are drivers.

I'm in a writing mood tonight, hesitant to do work and yet, the files are all open, reference folders splayed out. I'm just staring at the plans, coloured lines and all but my entire body aches from... something. This time, not ennui. I'm sure of it.

I'd ripped myself out of bed half an hour later than I was supposed to, groggy and in a mood, morning had snuck up on me too soon. With a harrumph, I'd put myself under a torrent of slightly cold water which got warmer the longer it went. I couldn't decide whether it was my skin getting used to the cold or the heater finally did its job, either way I was deeply disliking my unmet slumber.

I had to go to a mall for a meeting with an incredibly awesome woman who had sacrificed her Sunday for me. A nearly thirty, bright eyed, bushy-tailed upstart. Excited for the meeting, not excited to be in the bosom of capitalism. In response, I dressed down.

"If I'm going to do this, might as well pretend I'm going to the beach," I said to myself. "Really. A mall is the only safe place that's accessible and friendly for people with disabilities and yet I hate it."

- started talking about nantes, kismet and how we can work that into life
-3 goal branches in my life
- How funny is languages

Things I have learnt about me:

1. I may die of a heart attack when I get older... According to some BS research... *shrugs*

2. I don't like who I've been in any of my past romantic relationships and the thought of being involved makes me sick.
