I ... slept yesterday. Ahaha. *__* Got on the computer for a few hours after school, then at four, I just... slept. Through until this morning. When I then proceeded to be ill. HUZZAH. I've felt sick/nasty all week. Mum made me go to school anyway, but geeeeh... --; Felt ill all day.
Still feel ill. It's weird, I slept TONS yesterday, but I almost want to nap more now. It's weird, and kind of annoying.
Oh, and in art news... I've been working on a picture, and I finished coloring it and all, but... I'm not sure I like how it turned out colored, really. :x I'm happy with the lineart, but I think I'll just recolor the thing.. Ugh, cel-shading is not my friend. --; Bllleeeeh. I'll try for soft smooth colors (high-contrast, tho, 'coz that'd fit the picture better...) instead of cel-style, maybe. Yeah. ^^;;;
Hmm, sleep or work...? I don't know what I want to do. Che.

I've become utterly desensitized to this issue. I don't know why. I'm just so USED to it. (quick summary: using 'rape' on a casual basis (ie. "*rapes icon!*") is bad). ...Well, not so much I'm desensitized to random usage of the word 'rape.' That kinda makes me blink, and go "...uhm," for a second. It's not really all that common, anyway. Most people seem to realize that it's just not right. People think of 'rape' as forcing someone to have sex, and all the terrible repercussions.
'Molest,' though? I'm somehow completely indifferent to that. Someone says "*molests [some chara]*"? Fine, haha, w00t! It's like... unless it's the actual, real-life act of molesting someone I don't think of it negatively at all. I don't know, I just don't take that word seriously on-line. I've been sexually harassed plenty off-line, it's awful, and yet words like that just don't faze me at all on-line. I think it's all about context. There's something different, you know? A teenager calling someone/something molestable on-line is lots different than a creepy old man off-line saying something's molestable. It has to do with tone and context. Yeah, sure, 'molest' can be taken negatively, but it can have a ... less-negative?? connotation? Yeah.
'Stalking' doesn't bother me, either. bleh. Same as 'molest'? Real-stalking = bad. On-line stalking as a joke = fine. w00t. I'm quite guilty of this myself. (e.e r00-sama...)
Bah. So yeah, in the end, it's all about the context, bay-bee.
w00t.
...mmeh... work...
