Breaking Rape Laws and Getting Away with it Since 1999

May 18, 2007 23:43

I think we're aware that I was pretty well drunk last night, hmmm? This is a good thing. I'd begun to think that I'd crossed some invisible threshold and, as God is my witness, I would never go drunkenly through the streets of York again ( Read more... )

holy crap do i want to die, personal batshittery, rl

It's so sad we live in a world where, as women, we have to worry so much about men taking advantage of us.

jadeddiva May 18 2007, 23:03:01 UTC

On that note, I'm glad your safe and good luck on your exam.

True story. You'll notice I missed off "Don't wear short skirts or look attractive in anyway" because while generally having to doctor my behaviour for fear of disgusting men pisses me off, that argument in particular makes me want to bash people's heads together.

Heh, thanks :)

alexia75 May 18 2007, 23:10:30 UTC

That is, fearing men who are disgusting, not making men disgusted with myself. Am I making sense? Probably not. Bah, it's late.

Christ. D: I'm really happy you're okay! &TUSKS;

I wish you much luck on your last exam and hope you get full marks on it!

alexia75 May 19 2007, 00:30:43 UTC

Heh, thanks &ARKS;

Me, I'm just hoping I pass it but hey, full marks would be nice!

I agree with the above - it's sort of tragic that we live in a world when in situations like clubs - where we should be relaxing and having fun - we have to treat every unfamiliar man as a potential rapist.

Have you thought of putting up a contact information post? For emergencies and the like? Like - an address and phone number and emergency phone number, for occasions when we might be worried. Friendslocked and filtered, of course.

I get worried about my flist, sometimes. D: Like - if you vanish for a long time, I want to be able to write, or call to check that you haven't died. Because if you had - or you were in hospital or something - who'd tell us?

And on those cheerful notes...

K9's right. I'd taken to disappearing for days at a time when my mum finally said "Your roommates would know if you went missing or died in your room, right?" and I went "(._.)"

So now if I disappear for a week K9 has to call my parents to see where I am. Because I may be in a culvert.

alexia75 May 19 2007, 00:32:46 UTC

I don't like to do that, because I am dodgy about people I haven't met in RL having my address and moby number and suchlike. Plus my address changes quite a lot so it'd be a pain in the arse. And generally, you know, there are people around that I have met who would be able to raise the alarm if something did happen to me.

I have a blurb at the front of all my notebooks with a list of people to be contacted should the worse happen, and it includes a post here. So... there you go.

saturnial May 19 2007, 00:47:22 UTC

That's a small comfort at least - so long as you're not going to die on us.

Internet relationships are strange like that. You can end up being incredibly worried and protective (Yes, protective - this most recent post scared me a little) over people who can easily just vanish - if you disappear for 2 weeks, we've no way of knowing whther you're just offline, or you've had to suddenly fly back to djabouti to visit your sick grandmother, or anything. It's entirely dependent on what you want to share.

I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN YOU ARE RECKLESS.

I shall have to come to England and out-recklessize you. Or something.

saturnial May 18 2007, 23:57:47 UTC

OH MY GOD COME TO ENGLAND NEXT SUMMER AND THE TWO OF YOU CAN CELEBRATE ME LEGALLY BEING ABLE TO DRINK BY TAKING ME OUT TO GET PLASTERED. IT WOULD BE PERFECT. AND BEAUTIFUL.

alexia75 May 19 2007, 00:35:27 UTC

Wow so much of that comment made me depressed but heh you guys should come to York. It is both perfect and beautiful and full of hundreds of bars. Literally.

saturnial May 19 2007, 00:43:37 UTC

What's depressing?

My mum's from Yorkshire - and I've loved York everytime I've been there. Plus, you have the added advantage of knowing the cheap studenty bars.

If I can manage to weasel Octune over here, there's no way I'll keep her to myself. Bedfordshire is to boring for that. ¬_¬

God - when I think of some of the stuff I got up to in my misspent youth I'm surprised I survived it!

It's sad that people can't just enjoy being young and taking a few risks these days. What is life coming to, eh? *feels old*

I'm glad you're OK and that nothing happened - obviously your instincts were right and bloke was an OK sort.

Good luck with the last exam.
