miss_ljvThis morning Steve and I were bantering after a discussion*, and he asked me if I even have room for love in my heart. I asked him what he meant. He said my breakdown is as follows:
60% Tiredness
25% Righteous Indignance
15% Annoyance
As he expected, I was indignant at first, but then when looking at the numbers, he's mostly not wrong. Although I guess the caveat is I'm not *angry* most of the time, and I laugh a lot. So it's like, don't take the list as me being a negative person. But stronger emotions come to people's minds first, right? I asked where laughter/joy is on that list, and he said it's embedded within Tired and Annoyed, because being tired is all encompassing, and I have an uncanny ability to be simultaneously annoyed by something but able to still see humor/recover quickly.
*I was telling him about the latest drama in the fiber community - a racist piece of shit with a huge following is releasing a yarn set called "polarizing" and all the colorway names make a mockery of the lived experience of marginalized folx.

I also add up percentages! I used to teach middle school math, but since my schooling was only in Special Ed, I learned SO much about math by teaching it with math-background teachers. And I got WAY better at percents and algebra :D
