All I want
to do right
now
is yell.
Possible break something
very fragile, or
just strangle
half of them.

Oh crap.
I forgot:

we're supposed to
be teaching them

tolerance.

You guys have to put up with a lot.
I barged in on
Harry with his
group today:
I was asking about
the Guitar Hero tournament.
Poor guy.
It looked like hell.

I do that training as well

I do that
training as well and I
always feel like
punching the kids for saying the
rudest, dumbest things.

Once this one group was
talking about stereotypes for
gay people...like if they saw a
guy in heels, what would they
think, and I'm standing up in
front of them, with short hair and
dressed like a guy, and give them this
long, ranting speech about how
sexual orientation and
gender-expression are not
inherently linked.

That's all I remember about it
though. I honestly have
no idea what I even
said.

I hate doing those
trainings...
