Hannibal Rising--SPOILERS

( Hannibal Rising--SPOILERS )

My first flick in three months, and I can't say it was worth the money. The trailer for The Abandoned looked promising, though.

It Must Be That Disability-Fueled Bitterness Welling up Again

See if you can spot the irony here:

Eddie Cahill from a Cosmo interview:

mpoliteness, rudeness, and anyone mean. I don't like people who tease. You can be anything under the sun, but if you're mean to people, you're out.

flacks_my_man on me from today's entry:


She's disabled. Maybe she's angry about that and takes it out on the people around her. But there are many types of disability. I'm disabled in that I've dealt with clinical depression for most of my life and had social anxiety as a child (as if growing up with two drunks wasn't bad enough). My anti-depressants are my wheelchair. They help me get around. We all have our challenges. When I was posting as ucantbesirius I was off my meds and even I look back and think, "whoa, I was crazy at that point". I said a lot of off the wall stuff and I know what brought it on but I'm not going to try to explain it because the clique wouldn't listen. They'd just laugh at me and whisper among themselves about what a freak I am. Wow, are you sure I haven't been transported back to the 6th grade? Sure feels like it.

Why, why, why do so many peopled leap to the conclusion that disabled folks are suppurating balls of bitterness, lurking in their chairs and just waiting for an opportunity to lash out at the world? Most of us walk that fine line between sinner and saint just like everyone else, and most of us stray to one side or the other like everyone else. I can be just as pissy, bitchy, whiny, and entitled as everyone else on the Internet, and you know what? That decision to behave that way, when I make it-has nothing to do with the fact that my ass is glued to a chair and everything to do with the fact that I'm a human being like everyone else, and for me to claim that my lapses into asshattery are because of my disability would be a copout and an insult to disabled folks everywhere.

To put it another way: Does our ErstWhile Champion of the Downtrodden really think that we pitiful cripples have cornered the market on axe-grinding? Has she been to the DMV lately? Last I checked, it wasn't run by members of the Sooper Sekrit Crip Cabal. It was full of abled folks being helpful and powertripping according to their wonts. But maybe you think we cripples have invented abled exosuits, the more easily to spew our invective. In that case, here's your tinfoil.

If my disability was the only barb you could lob at me, flacks_my_man, then you need pity and contempt far more than I do. This LJ alone contains many finer and worthier examples of my rudeness, and I've got a flist who thinks enough of me to call me out(torenheksje, Joanne the Anonymouse).

If you really want to get into an E-peen waving contest with me and compare Drama Llamas, go right ahead. Comments are turned on. Otherwise, write me off as unworthy of your time and go back to enjoying your Flack screencaps.
