Voltaire - Hell In A Handbasket--- I dreamed that I was impersonating someone I knew, in their job, and the other person, going off-shift, could obviously see that i wasn't her, but let me on, anyway. I guessed her entry code, and started working. It was a room, in the back of one of the Hyatt ballroom floors, and it was a locker room and security station. When she showed up, the first lady didn't blink an eye at my being there. Something about playing with all my old toys, showing mech_angel this old silver Alien figure I had, and talking about stuff like that. We all left the girl to work, and went out to enjoy the convention. Lots of other things happened, and we ended up back at the room, and she wasn't there. i knw that if Someone wasn't watching the place, a lot of shit could go wrong, but I didn't know where to find her.

In the dream I knew her name, and she had that sisterly-but-not feel to her, and she kept trying to get me to let her off the hook for the stupid shit she'd done.

Very strange things, those.

Tom Waits - [Telephone Call From Istanbul]--- Office hours, today. Should be fun.

I meant what I said about your word choices. Don't you get that what you say, think, do, believe, and how you perform/experience those things affects your reality? Focus on that, a bit more, if you want something interesting to do, of an evening.

I'm off.

I get it. 'S why I get quite irate when I hear someone say that it doesn't really matter what gender of pronoun we attach to things, so we might as well just keep calling everything -man or -men. If it doesn't really matter, why does the issue of turning it into -person or somesuch bother them so?

Even in how a person thinks of themself and to themself, word choice has a huge effect. I've moved that around in my own mind and seen the effects.

Precisely. The more clearly you define yourself, the less power anyone has over your definition. You control the conversation about you. But you run the risk of becoming too rigid, so I tend to recommend a fluid, organic lexicon of self, allowing for growth around a central definition.

Huh. Impersonation-to-correct-mistakes? Being the failsafe, the reliable one...Interesting...

Yeah, unfortunately, it happens more often than it should.

I shouldn't have to be the deadman's switch, all the time.
