Late-night ramble

[batskeets]

For some insane reason, I'm still awake right now. My sleep schedule is so completely screwed up because of all the extra sleeping I've been doing. I wouldn't have slept so late today and yesterday if I hadn't been sick. BLEH.

I'm watching this random movie on TV right now, because A) there's nothing else on, and B) it stars John Cusack. I have no idea what's going on. ::rotfl::

So I heard something today that really solidified my opinion of somebody I used to kind of know. I already thought that person was pretty stupid before, because I've been repeatedly and unjustly vilified by them behind my back before, but what I heard today just puts them over the top.

You see, it's one thing to throw around insults about somebody because they're an asshole and/or have some raging character flaw. That's at least somewhat justifiable. But for chrissake, you just don't make catty remarks based on stupid, superficial crap like someone's weight. And this was even directed at somebody else that I'm not on especially good terms with either, so I'm not just defending someone I like. I'm serious.

I guess my point is that, if the only thing you can come up with for an insult is based on looks, then that says to me that you probably don't know the person well enough to come up with something that's actually meaningful. And if you don't know the person you're shitting on, then you should just shut the hell up.

Anyhow, I'm going to go back to folding laundry and maybe trying to sleep for a bit.

Amen, sister!

Don't you hate folding laundry? I have resolved never to do it again ("never" in the temporal sense :) ). Instead, I wash my clothes and then throw them in a pile on the floor of my closet - a pile that is entirely distinct from the pile of dirty clothes on the floor just outside my closet. It's the *clean* pile. :)
