My day is okay. I'm facing increasing pressure from my mother to go and visit her and her parents. Some of you know my relationship with my mom is complicated to say the least. I'm currently unemployed (again) so now would be a good time, but I just have serious reservations with seeing her again. I've only recently even told her what my current address is.
I love the skin! I just don't like biting through it. It gets all up in my teeth.
I clicked agree on this post 20 times but it only registered once. For every second I spend eating an apple I spend a minute picking apple skin out of my fucking teeth. Toothbrush doesn't even get in there.

I'm struggling with some thoughts lately.
Schools here have mandatory uniforms. This, I believe, is a mostly good thing. I believe in the necessity of giving kids an even playing field as much as possible and in lessening bullying wherever and however possible.
However, I'm struggling with the fact of the uniforms in that the girls have to wear skirts. Now, this would normally have bothered me just because I hate skirts myself. But lately, I've been thinking about potential children, particularly daughters. And being feminist.
And I have a problem with not only my future child, but any girl, needing to wear a uniform skirt just because she's a girl. WEaring a uniform is fine, but I'd rather everybody all wear pants. Or all wear skirts. Or have the option of either or both.
But, the other side of the whole thing is I don't want to be "that mother". The one who raises an issue and causes trouble for my child based upon my ideological thoughts and feelings.
To clarify: I wasn't fashion conscious or anything as a kid, quite the opposite really. I wasn't especially rebellious, either. But especially as a teenager the idea of having to conform probably would've rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm really glad I never had to wear a uniform. So many fabrics give me a rash, there's a good chance I wouldn't be able to wear whatever the uniform would have been, and then I'd have needed to wear something else so I could actually concenteate on school work and not how badly I wanted to claw my skin off. And in wearing something else, I'd have been singled out which then defeats the purpose of the uniform anyway.

Uniforms are fine but gender segregated uniforms are dumb, and mandatory skirts for girls are super dumb.
My school wasn't great, though the girls uniform had a 3/4 pants option (it was all very complicated). I remember when I was in high school some schools started giving all kids a pants/shirt combo, and that seems to be how it's handled in the non-private schools in this town.
Get with the times, NZ! But maybe by the time you have kids old enough for this to be an issue, things will have changed?
School uniforms are wonderful. Mine allowed girls to wear the exact same as boys, and as all schools have uniforms over here it is much easier to buy them then I would guess abroad because if your school uses a common colour you can get the trousers, blazer etc from a shop off the high street.
I hated non-uniform days, I stressed so much about what to wear because when in uniform no one could pick on me about my clothes or how I looked or not being cool, but on non uniform days they could. So I am a big fan of uniforms because they saved me from being picked on a lot.

someone picked on Liiya!? That's it where are they lemme at em!
Let's be honest here. the uniforms were to protect the others from being destroyed by your coolness.
Cool as a cucumber.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say
Ok I've given this like 30 years of thought, but today I feel like anxiety is like a combination of moderate to severe tinnitus, constantly teetering on the edge of a mile-high cliff, and being crushed between the jaws of a giant implacable vulture. That seems to cover most of it.
I don't know about you, but whenever I feel overwhelmed by anxiety, I like to take a nice long, hot bath. I let the water become still... then I pour in the bubble bath liquid... I slide myself into that wet and welcoming embrace... and I see how frothy I can get the water just through the power of me own farties.

Subsequently, every single one of the girls (probably their parents) opted into the pants and it was nary an issue.
Whenever I get in the back seat of my girlfriend's parents' car, I reflexively put on my seat belt
And every single time without fail she gets mad at me and tells me to take it off.
I have asked her about this multiple times and I am never given a straight answer.
To clarify: I wasn't fashion conscious or anything as a kid, quite the opposite really. I wasn't especially rebellious, either. But especially as a teenager the idea of having to conform probably would've rubbed me the wrong way.

So, like, school-mandated capri pants?
What is the term for something of new Zealand origin? (eg American, British, austrailian)
I can't figure out how you would say that
New zealandish?
Actually I guess that still includes Australian.
