A long mouth stretched wide open yawn followed by nudge to keep myself awake. It's winter again and my body is struggling to recharge its batteries. In summer I only need a 5-6 hours sleep a night because the sun keeps my energy level high enough, but during winter, I'm almost sleeping all the time. Struggling to keep yourself warm takes up a lot of energy y'all! But back to yesterday evening. Everyone who knows me knows I am a night owl who hates going to bed early. Well yesterday I went to bed at 9h15! So I slept almost 11 hours last night and still I had to drag myself out of bed this morning. When I got back home, I even postponed decorating the Christmas tree, my favorite part of the whole holidays, just to catch some extra sleep. Stupid cold, stupid lack of sun, stupid snow,... Climate change, right???

So today I bumped into an old classmate from back in high school. Great to see she is still this small minded trashy whore she always used to be. Yeah I never been really best buddies with her and other classmates for various reasons. Reason one was because she was this crazy Hitler fan. Can you imagine those people still exist? Sigh! Reason two goes way back until the 5th grade, one year before graduating... This was my first year at that school because I studied in another school the past 4 years. I don't know why, but from day one they have been hating on me for standing up for a black girl, who barely spoke one word of Dutch, when she being threatened my her gang of racists. So this was the start of the whole beef. It got even worse. I'm this type of student who does what she is supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. So this means that when we have to write a paper, will hand it in on time. But it seems that there was some secret ode among the other students not to obey the deadline. It seemed to be an obligation to hand in the paper one week later than you were supposed to hand it in. I broke this ode and always handed it in on time, while they refused to do so. Every time, they got a zero and who was to blame? Right, I was. It was all my fault that they had a zero. If I did not hand in my paper on time, they would never received that zero. I never payed much attention to what they said until one day I ended up having chewing gum in my hair. Now this was the turning point. I was so angry that I just told them, straight in the face, that if they wanted to act like a "grown up" (read: rebellious teenager) and disobey the deadline on the paper, they should just go ahead but they had to face the consequences like a grown up and not blame someone else. It probably not may be a surprise, but I was also blamed for the fact that more than the class failed that year and that I graduated first of the whole school that next year. But heck now it's my fault that students who lived weekend to weekend failed their exams. You would be surprised how many of them had to skip Monday classes because they still had a hangover from Saturdays.

Tomorrow it's the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 60 years have passed, many good things have happened since, but yet there is still a very long way to go.

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

It sounds so nice when you read it. One peaceful world were everyone can live life to the fullest. But words are only words. Examples of violations are very easy to find, even over here in Belgium.

I'm in a fairly bad mood right now. Today I had this discussion with a guy I know superficially and he was like "women need to know there place in society". Now this pisses me off! Women work hard to earn there place in society and men like that tell us that our place is at the bottom? Cleaning and cooking, nursing the kids and being uneducated? To hell with that. Women are equal to men and damn miss judge is present!
