In principle, yes. 1984 however was written with a clear purpose in mind.

For anyone looking for reading material: Orwell's collected letters, essays, journalism etc. make for a great read. His prose is so clear!

Went shopping with my mom again. I really should stop doing that. I mostly get brought along to read things for my mom, since she doesn't like her glasses.

25 Check-out lanes, but only three were open, and the lines were massive.

There was a woman using a baby stroller as a shopping cart, with the baby underneath the groceries.

We got to the deli section, and my mom said "this is the deli section" and began to explain what a deli section is in the same tone you would use to read a book to a child, as if I'm still five or something.

...Are you sure you live in a normal area, or is your hometown getting aligned to the strange and madness-filled plane of existence known as 'Florida'?

I'm not in the 'states, so I'm fairly certain I'm not in Florida.

I was making a joke that your hometown seems rather Florida-like from what you've mentioned in this thread so far. >_>

I'm not good with jokes.

Plus I've lived in a few towns, and I go to college in the next city over, so it's not just my current town that's screwy.

I also forgot to mention my mom asking me who was the cashier at the gas-station when we went to fuel the car earlier.

She has issues with a female attendant there because the attendant is "too much like a guy". As in she wears "boy clothes" and has a "boy haircut", when "only boys should wear boy clothes or have boy haircuts, and only girls should wear girl clothes and have girl haircuts."

Is she six years old?

I'd confuse the hell out of her. Long, straight hair that garners compliments from women and a scruffy goatee? Madness.

Edit: Wow, holy shit, Truean. Good to hear that you're personally okay, but just...damn. *shakes head* I don't even know what to say. If it were easy to transfer bar association, licensure, etc (I know it isn't,) to another place, I'd just say to get the hell out of that shithole, but damn.

Why... why don't you want to be quoted?

Do you want this to never resurface or something?

I actually looked you up just an hour ago, Truean. Good to see you again - and I hope you'll get back on your feet.

I don't mean to sound overly negative or uncaring, but if you're going to put stuff online in such a way that you're worried about it sticking around you might want to police what you put online more than just say you don't want this quoted. Google scans this forum with it's various robot things so like it or not that stuff is becoming searchable and stored somewhere else.

What I mostly mean to say is if you don't want it repeated somewhere, don't say it. At least not in such detail that someone with close up familiarity with the situation you described would immediately know who you actually are.

Holy fuck. I kind of expected that you'd be back with an interesting story someday, but....holy fuck. Good to have you back.
