Pistachio and Anchovy

When I was young I was picked on quite a bit. The usual set of circumstances, I was an easy target (smart, quiet, odd, insecure) and once the kids found my buttons they didn’t relent. For a long time I tried to ignore them. I spent a lot of time reading because I thought that with a book in front of my face I would blend into the background. And, for a while I did. From behind those first books I developed my love of the written word. Beginning with the marvels I found in the library and then later the stories I found in my own head. My need to escape elementary school torment helped foster my imagination, I suppose. I need to thank those kids for that.

So anyway, a few times the kids pretended that they wanted to be my friend. A kid would ask if I wanted to hang out on the playground either at recess or after school. The first couple of times I bought it. It was a pathetic display of desperation that, looking back now, makes me laugh. You can see that kid, right?...very awkward, over-filled book bag, disheveled clothes, greasy hair, hopeful smile. I would wait for my friend to show up and of course they wouldn’t and I would eventually trudge home. Sometimes they would gather somewhere along my route and give me a hard time shouting “Who were you waiting for back there?” and “Did you really think we’d be friends with you.” It was worse when they would wait until the next day bringing my humiliation to school to share with the rest of the class.

Why am I telling you this? Well…insight I suppose and also to offer some context that you may draw from for those times when I seem a bit vague (yes, really). I have had to overcome and still battle with some pretty substantial trust issues. Always present in the back of my mind is the voice telling me to watch out for anyone who gets too close because they probably have an ulterior motive that will leave me in a rut. It has taken me a long time and years of therapy to be able to ignore that voice and share even my more simple weaknesses with friends (without the guise of fiction). And, so I share this piece of myself, my past with you.


p.s. I am not sure what you will glean from my palate but my gut holds plenty.






(Not at present: soon and I'll let you know when.)

I have seen that, the brain only uses a few letters in the word to recognise it, even if the order is slightly incorrect. As well as many words being seen but not filtered into the conscious brain.
The faster a person can read the less letters the brain needs and the faster they process them. But under light hypnosis the person can recall everything as seen, even identifying the spelling errors.

Did you ever see the paragraph where every word is spelt incorrectly but because they are homophones they are not picked up by spellcheck.
Some people have a lot of time on their hands

I do now know what it means in terms of respect etc. and i DO repsect the art.
My nephew (older) is a Sinsei, teacher.(he even taught my daughter for a short time)

He is registered black belt and 10th degree? something like that.

We don't really name the levels and if so, it would be Chinese and not Japanese. Belt levels is western; my Sifu wouldn't do it except that it's what people seem to want. It's more like, you know what you know when you know it. The belts are really just for show.

I always recommend it to people. I have a problem with authority, too, but if they are better than I am and I can learn from them, I'm cool with it.

In the 60's and 70's it became 'westernized" because that is what people wanted and when it became popular it was switched. It is Japaneese. That is all I know.
If I stuck with it, I may have been good.

You sound like you have many diverse backgrounds in various techniques.

Do you do wrestle too. I dont know what that is called. I forgot.

with that.
Three years is a long time.

How do yo uknow levels then? How do you know when you have accomplished your goals? I needed to have the levels and the stripes. made me feel as if I attained something. I guess that is westernized thinking but its all I know.

Anonymous said...

We do have belts, but Sifu tells the advances students that they are meaningless anyway. He just says that when you know it, you know it. If a student starts bitching about not going up in belt levels he will just throw them one and say, "Here you go." It renders it meaningless, or at least shows how meaningless it is.

What means more to me than the green sash with the black stripe is that I can walk by myself at night through an alley, or really anywhere, without fear.

Except for like airports and stuff.

The party favors were Baoding Balls, I effing kid you not. The best part was that the insert on how to use them read: For relaxation, place two balls in hand and move them about.... That was funnier than it should have been to the adults, because every once in a while we would open the box, read the insert and go, "Khhkhhkhh!" I've had a pair of Baoding balls since I was in my twenties and I know how to use them in both hands, but no one else really did so I was showing some people how to do it. Sifu walked in just then, saw me with them and said, "I thought yours would be bigger. And brass." And I just lost it. Toward the end of the day, I was showing Raq's Mom how to use them but the pair I had were really teeny. Chris was carrying his around, which were bigger and I wanted to show her using his ones so I called him over, only to realize that I had no idea how to ask him.

Hilarity, of course, ensued. It ensued many, many times, actually.

But there was more to it than Baoding balls. There was cake and swimming and long talks. In the pool, Raq's family had these really cool toys and one of them was a huge, gold round one. I climbed on it (with help from Chris; it was slippery and hardly anyone could climb on!) then sat in the lotus position and called out, "Hey guys, who am I?!" Everyone was like, "BUDDHA LOL!"

In the pool, I talked for a long time with Chris about everything under the sun (mostly college, since he's going into the medical field and I am going back to school,) travel, and we compared scars. And out of the pool with sharp-witted Alex about Kung Fu, people with issues, our own issues, and how they don't really go away when you "grow up" the way people seem to think they do.

TJ do you mean Society for Creative Anachronism? :) I don't belong to it but I often attend renaissance fairs - in costume- and I've made friends with some of the performers over the years. I always call to wish them happy holidays and see which state they're traveling to. Much fun!

I am glad it's ok that I commented - you can also talk to us for support - all of the family are great that way. And I am like that too.

I was curious - do you know if j'observe is kapunua? I just wondered cause they seem to have similar prose styles and I read she often posts anon? Anyway - I'll comment one of the blogs to ask, if I am still curious and you don't know.

Cassowary? Sorry, never had one. Backstreet boys fan fiction?! Blech! Let it be known right now that I absolutely stand against the image-rape that is real person fic. Even when it does happen to silly boy bands. :/ 'Course, I have to laugh when it happens to someone I loathe. But on the other hand, I have to laugh when someone I loathe falls down the stairs, too--though on the whole I know that falling down the stairs is bad.

I just can't fathom anyone doing that to someone they claim to admire. If you like someone, you don't hurt them. You save your meanness for people who suck. I guess that's where I get confused on this subject. "I really like such and such. I'm going to abuse his image, write about him and his family, and who knows, maybe write stories where he gets raped and unexplainably impregnated." WTF, people? I can't even MST that kind of crap.

A few weeks ago while googling for lines from the movie Gladiator, I saw a RP fic about Joaquin Phoenix that was so intrusive and so vile, it made me want to seek out this author and slap her in the mouth. I don't even feel quite right blogging about it in detail, because it was so sleazy. I'll just say that she took something really, really personal about him, and used it as this twisted emotional manipulation device. That made me feel really bad.

Enough about that nonsense. I'm over it.

No, wait. One more thing. A good friend and I had an interesting chat tonight. It was about Jesus. I've often championed the humanity of Jesus and become obsessed with it, rather than with his divinity. (Not the devout Christian, am I.) I like Jesus as a human being, with feelings, passions, loves, lusts, anger and all. Jesus was a revolutionary as much as he was a sacrifice, or at least that's how I like to think of him. If Jesus was a character in a fanfiction, I could see fangirls just making him into what is the basic, accepted, simplistic Christian veiw of him: Lamb Of God, here for one simple reason, died on the cross.

BLAH! Whatever. I think that's rather selling him short. Where's the depth? Isn't that rather boring?

Plus, my favorite sculpture in the world is Michelangelo's Pieta. I've always rather felt that the Mary in the Pieta was Mary Magdelaine, and not his mother. Cause, dang, could you get any sexier?

That's all I'm saying. #

Anonymous said...

My first reaction after someone asks me on a date (rare) and I say yes (even rarer) is one of sinking panic. It's an odd panic, too, not the kind most neurotic girls describe ("what if I mess up? What will I wear/say/do? What if he doesn't like me" e?tc.) No, the second after I say, "sure, okay!" my brain starts yelling, "Don't you dare try to change me! Get away! I'm my own person! I'm not going to marry you!"

O_o

Christ, after getting asked on a measley date! And I wonder why guys don't often call on me. Maybe after I say "okay," they see the horror on my face, and can almost hear my brain going, "I AM SET IN MY WAYS! SO DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO BE YOUR GIRL!" ;D

Anyway, one of my pirate friends asked me on a date today, and since he's always been nice to me and is fun and interesting, I said okay. Then I went home and said, "well, he probably drinks or hunts or some other nasty thing that I don't know about, or...all of the above!" Yeah, wtf is wrong with me, and all.

One of the younger pirates asked me out about two, three years ago when I first started with them. Really younger. He's one of these natural comedian kids, always on. (I appreciate people like that if they're nice [and he is] but I have to take them in small doses.) But I had to be perfectly honest and tell him that if he had been ten years older, I would have said yes, because this kid (and I guess he's about 20 or so now,) is anime-classic beautiful. I don't often go for the bish, and I actually didn't go for him, but he's one of those people that make you (men and women) stop thinking for a second when you see him. It's creepy. He's not as breathtakingly handsome as my gay boyfriend (Adore! Adore! Adore!) who is 34 and stops my heart everytime I see him, but still lovely.

He, (the young pirate guy,) was there today, and he, his (adorable) girlfriend and I were talking about storms, and I happened to mention that I hadn't missed an east coast hurricaine in about 13 years. And that's true. If there's one in Florida, I'm in Florida at the time. If there's one here, I'm here for it. If there's one up the coast, I'm flying around it or driving through it. I've hit them all. To which he replies, "holy crap. That means you're an elemental." Uh huh, okay. ^_^ Now I've been called a lot of things in my lifetime... ;) Anyway.

It's still fun to be a wench. Guys can call you "girlie" and you don't have to pretend to be insulted. ;) And it's fun to just shut everything else out once in a while and sing and yell and act. Improv is cool that way. Concentration without the pressure of memorization.

In other news, love ya, Hwei! I've got a letter in the works for you; I guess it's gonna be kinda long, so I've been adding to it when I have the time. ^_^ Take care, and best of luck on your exams.

Malama kakou!

from theearofmyheart.com:

Why people are rude or harass online

The online “Disinhibition” effect: People say and do things in cyberspace that they wouldn’t ordinarily say or do in the face-to-face world because of:

Anonymity: “You don’t know who I am!”
Invisibility: “You can’t see me!”
Delayed reactions: “You won’t respond to me right away.”
Attempt to equalize status: “I am significant when I am in control, or have equal power to you.”
Personality styles: “That’s just the way I am. I won’t change for anybody!”
“Mind Blindness” and Blogging: Unable to sense what the other person feels and thinks. Lack of empathy.

Who does this?

Troll or Cyberbully: A person whose main goal is to insult and provoke others. They usually have lots of free time on their hands and are probably lonely and seeking attention. They often see their own self-worth in relation to how much reaction and drama they can provoke. May have a psychological need to feel good by making others feel bad.
Kook: A regular member of a forum who habitually leaves comments that are unrelated to the topic or have no basis in reality.
Flamer: Their only contribution to the group is by making inflammatory comments that excite anger and cause disorder.
Hit-and-runner: A person who stops in, makes one or two heated comments, then moves on.
Cyberstalker: Person who shows a continuing pattern of offensive communication, malice, premeditation, repetition. The stalker becomes obsessed in causing distress to the victim. Some seek revenge and may make threats that cause victims fear for their personal safety. Cyberstalkers often disregard warnings to stop, and they may have a history of controlling and emotional abuse during a relationship.

These people suffer a meaningless existence. This is the only way they can get attention because no person will give them the time of day off-line.

Want to make it stop? Ignore them.

kapu,

My son is taking taekwondo, just started this summer. He really seems to be enjoying it. He has been in love with all things Asian since he was in 3rd grade. I just wanted him to be old enough to understand it isnt about offense it is about defense.

He was picked on a lot during school. They dont pick on him as much now considering he is 6'2" and about 215lbs....lol.

Though i dont know you, i cant help but like you. You never seem to get away from the onslaught of stupid fucking anons coming in and poking at you.

I'm going blue and will be back. In the meantime.. turn the volume up on your music and let's all chat and ignore the little fuckers, shall we :-D

Hiya, PPU. How's it hornin'? Sisterlor, good to read you. Your family is good people. ^_^ And, good on your son! That's what I like to hear. ^_^

Imma go have some sex with Alex Krycek right now and eat a bowl of fruit.

Anons, thanks for finding those old fics and that old blog for me. I thought those were long gone. And if you do write to Tristan and tell him I think he's cute, thanks. I've been trying to tell him for years and can't seem to!

Smoke said...

PPU,

I've missed you. :)

Anonymous said...

Hi, Kapunua and Ergo. I am doing well!

S&M, I have maybe kind of missed you too.

toujours said...

hey everybody, hey sis!!

kapunua, did you go already? i told my mom about your bird cake and she was very interested. they feed a ton of birds here and she'd like the recipe, if you wouldn't mind sharing it. :)

sdock10 said...

But not as much as you missed me, right, PPU?

Smoke said...

Maybe?

Oh, come on! You know you always miss me. ^_~

Don't ya? Yes, sir. You most certainly do.

Anonymous said...

What's the matter anons. I think, no, I KNOW you are jealous.

Kapu. These anons are jealous of you that's why they hate you so. Maybe those stalker anons WANT to join a karate school and have lots of attractive friends and go to parties with them. But they lack the sheer GUTS it takes. Maybe they want to write like you. But they don't have the talent.

I know it's not right and very WRON G of them to post your private info when everyone else onthe internet is allowed to have a Myspace with all their friends on it. But just remember why they hate you.

Anonymous said...

Yes, of course, Solly!

S&M, I have a rep to protect.

Anonymous said...

TJ, that is perfectly fine! It's a good recipe and they really go for it. ^_^

10:22, thank you, as well. :D

PPU, good to know that you're doing well. :)

I just went to clean the birds so maybe i have one less to do tomorrow and now I am going to go watch Sex Files. ;D

Smoke said...

^_~

Okay, I'll go along with it.

Have a good night everyone!

Sweet dreams my favoritist Unicorn!

sdock10 said...

Jules,

You crack me up constantly.

Have a great night.

*has never watched a single episode of the X files.*

toujours said...

moms. :)

sdock10 said...

BlogBelieve,

I feel those Tylenol PM's kicking in, so I guess I'll head off to bed.

Happy 11 Months!

Nite Guys!


PPU,

Thanks and it's great to read you round here again! I ♥ you, but you know that already.

Mwah! Mwah!

Karma will take care of this.

Mayo,

G'nite, my friend.

I was going to crack my knuckles and pop my fingers for you tonight.

Thought you might've needed some tapping or pushing of your buttons.

Dare I say?..."Pinch, poke, punch and provoke!"

But shit happens, and well, shit happened, so we'll leave that for another night.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Sorry.

Did I hurt your eyes with my email response?!?

toujours said...

toujours said...

lol, no! i'd be surprised by now if i got a monochromatic email from you. :)

can you stay?

*grabs sisterlor's arms, pulls*

here, here, come sit here on the couch. this is where i sit a lot. and sometimes i pull the blanket off the back (see it? the green plaid one, that looks like it's made from a flannel shirt. *grin*)

*tucks the blanket across sisterlor's lap*

*beams*

ergoproxy said...

Anonymous said...

Hi RW *big squeeze* goodnight smoke, solly

ergoproxy said...

well there has been plenty of food left about so I'm sure they are going about their dustbunny business. I bet they were glad to hear you were ok though

toujours said...

i knew it was coming up, bc! i must have missed it when you guys were talking about it last night. :)

toujours said...

you know, i thought i did some sort of fuzzy squeaky cheering that night, but i was distracted by all the pretty bishonen. :)

Anonymous said...

I bet the dustbunnies are munching on birdcakes.

toujours said...

"did hear"

fuss and bother, i hate typos.

toujours said...

then they're sitting pretty, aren't they, anon? *heehee*

Anonymous said...

That's ok TJ ^_^

SisterLor said...

Hello BC and others.

I would love to stay longer but I hate dial up. :-(.

I do like the couch.. comfy.

Dont forget to grab a brownie. I dont want to take any home.

Yeah I decided to go blue. :-D

toujours said...

hey does this mean you're going to have a blog...?

where i can leave you diverse comments...?

hint hint hint hint :D

ergoproxy said...

I just ate a huge salad but I'll take a brownie for later :)

SisterLor said...

Left my first post already!!

I now am all SisterLor'd up. I have the blog, I have the gmail, and I am blue. :-) I feel so grown up now!

Will you be my teacher? I have about 3 weeks before I go back and I want my adv kids using my blog by then.

toujours said...

\0/

yay! you do!!

:D

SisterLor said...

Thank Ergo.

If I have to take some home, I will just eat them myself.

Take more. :-) It is quiet in here tonight.

anyone lurking.. please set up and claim a brownie, pleeeease.

ergoproxy said...

oh you'll pick it up quickly sisterlor

toujours said...

what? help you navigate the mysteries of blogger? you bet. :)

what are you going to have your kids use it for? (and will i still be able to leave dorky comments?)

SisterLor said...

BC, take a couple brownies, please :-)

ergoproxy said...

oh twice in one day!!!!!!

I am doing well :)

SisterLor said...

I actually have one for the students already. You are more then welcome to leave a comment there too.

I thought maybe have them practice some of the basic HTML with blog comments.

But I am open to suggestions! Anyone!!

I dont want it to be the normal boring question/response type blog. They will hate that. It needs to be fresh and up to date to make them engage with it.

toujours said...

this has been a good place to pick up some html tricks. i'll have to think on it...

*munches on a brownie*

SisterLor said...

Good job Ergo!

Ok all, honey is online. Needs to get my man time in!

Thank goodness for messenger!

Talk to you later! Thanks for the warm welcome.

toujours said...

see you later, sisterlor. i'll be working on an email back to you. (no colors though, lol)

have fun!

ergoproxy said...

bye sisterlor see you next time, have a good night

toujours said...

so ergo, what's up next, now that you've won all those ribbons?

what fabulous concoction are you going to create now?

Anonymous said...

*takes brownie from sisterlor*

Thank you :)

ergoproxy said...

well right at the moment I'm sorting out roasting one of our roosters, though at 6 lb he's closer to a small turkey

toujours said...

6 lbs! are all your chickens that large? what are you feeding them?

Anonymous said...

Take care sisterlor

ergoproxy said...

the hens aren't as big but the breed is a big breed, they are meat and egg layers, but we were amazed when we weighed them, didn't expect it to be that big

toujours said...

that's the size of a small-to-medium sized cat. :)

er...not that i'm advocating roasting cats...

ew. no no no no no no no no no no
>.<

toujours said...

i shocked the blog into utter horror...

i am so ashamed.

ergoproxy said...

I just converted and he'd be 7.05lb and that's ready to go in the oven so with feathers, insides etc he'd be heavier
