"Sofia Fuller-Smith
Nuh ah, never would hurt an animal ever, even if there was a fire.
January 5 at 7:53am ยท Like"
Oh fuck offfff Sofia. You so didn't.

Also, I just wrote illucidated. Ewwwwww.

I always bother you when I have a paper to write. Procrastiwriting.
Anyway, hey, sup? Do you remember when I was into pick up artists? I do. They're fabulous. Just remembered lately that I'm into them, I'm even doing a research project on it. Super cool. I'm pretty sure my degree, although entirely impractical, is amazing.
Anyway, in PUA subculture there is this thing that came up once about "smart women are too intelligent to fall for this crap." And then a PUA said back "actually, sist-ah, smart women always fall hardest for it. They're the ones that are polite enough to listen while we spin our stories, the dumb ones inevitably lose interest too quickly." Cute, huh? PS I made that dialogue up, if you couldn't tell. Don't take them quotation marks literally.
And I think this general theme is present in other ways in the world as well. I'm thinking about the objectifying nature of the male gaze. Now, I'm not sure whether you think this is a real thing or not, but, as a girl, yeah, this is definitely a thing. White/young/thin/hairless/blemishless
So it makes me think. Dumb girls just go for this, don't even realise the contradictions and awful arbitrariness of it all. Ignorance, bliss, clichecliche.
Smart girls are taken in far more holistically, in a much more terrible kind of submissiveness because they can see it. They can see it as just a construction, as just a layer of life, not really necessary not really anything except dominating and persuasive, and yet. Sonofabitch, they still do it.
It's like recognising you're a slave and not being brave enough to break free.
So, dumb girls, they just enslave their bodies. Smart girls are taken in intellectually as well.
Why am I thinking about this? Because I'm a smart girl, and I totalllllllly got played yesterday. Remind me to tell you about the breaching experiments, and how, me being me, got taken in and played hard. You would think knowing about somethings would help you see the way out, see through it, but nope, knowing about things is not the same as recognising things, but still kicks you hard in the chest when the truth is told.
Bam! You's a dick, society.

So much of the phrase "what's new?" is irrelevant when you're rich. Because the phrase really asks how you're progressing in the capitalist agenda - how are you going getting lots of money?
education, career, new car? new house?
So if you're rich, what's new? Well, nothing. I've just bumming around squandering my money. Oh, and i invested in this thing and got lots more money, but I'm so rich anyway I barely noticed.
To be fair though, as insightful as this is, it can also refer to personal relationships. What's new? Oh, me and (janice) broke it off.
PS remember physical puzzles? someone repeated that to me today, so I guess it got around when you said you were gonna use it and not credit me. Except maybe this kid, Austen (pronounced Oss-ten) is just clever on his own, because he said "spatial challenges" in reference to the same thing.

Flashback Friday:
"I'm an impulsive buyer"
'Yeah, it shows'
"Careful, your impulsive buying is hanging out"
[Aside] This never happened to us, it happened to me though, but it reminded me of when we (you)(maybe me too, but not really) were young and fresh. I'm still pretty young. Fresh!

I had the best idea. Damnit, what was it. It was something I really liked. I had it while I was driving, it was a photograph idea. It had a great title, and that's what made it great, the title.
Oh well.
I'm going to think of a new photo idea, and the title will be 'cocksucker.' I'm gonna make it a good thing. (Although I guess you'd say it already is, but you know what I mean).
Love,
your cocksucker.
(Hope I'm pulling it off right now).

Hey kiddo,
someone stole my phone.
but hey!
you're not talking to me anyway
i dont get you
now, in haiku:
Fuckers took my phone.
Motherfucking fuckers took
my goddamn phone. Fuck!
Haha, just kidding, I'm aight with the fuckers. C'est la vie, namsen? Also, c'est la vie sounds much better in french. Such is life sounds douchey in english. "aww, such is life in ostraya"
Much more concerned about your silence. Much more concerned you memorised my number for nothing. That's OK, I'll holla when I get a new phone, but seriously, it's so rude when you ignore me. You'll probably say you're not ignoring me and that you "think about me erryday" but actions speak louder than words taco. But maybe I'm just cranky cos of the fuckers. Or maybe it's just seasonal maladies (did you ever work out seasonal maladies? It just means when a girl gets her period).
And you never sent me a photo of your glasses! And you never skyped me! Why the hell do I forgive you all these things? Must be that smile. Or not, I'm almost actually cranky recalling all these things. Mostly I'm affectionate at you. Not that I can tell you, cos someone stole my phone.
Oh well, still bitchin' at rockclimbing. (They stole it while I was climbing).
Anyway, I miss you, you can tell cos I'm rambling.
Almost finished my whole30 btw, it made peanut butter taste like honey. No kidding! So much sugar in it.
Ah fuck, I do miss you, can't talk to you ever now. Stupid phone. Stupid you. Stop it!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr somethingsomethingmumble.

I am so tired. So very very tired. I'm writing this in sing song, maybe you can tell. Or maybe not, my rhythm sucks. Sucks sucks sucks sucks.
Tell me sup, homeboy.
Did you ever play Monkey Island? Sucks for you if you didn't. I just remembered about it then, because some paper i was referencing had someone called Guy Threedrush or something, maybe you get it, idk. I'ma play it later. Much later, when I'm not so tired.
All I've eaten today is candy, but that's OK, I set fire to the rain. But I don't have a lovely singing voice, I'm just saying if I'm fat maybe I can set fire to the rain. With my mind. Jelly? God, I dislike the term 'jelly.' Not hate, that's strong, more, I notice outloud if I hear it. "Did you just say jelly? Die." I probably wouldn't tell them to die though, but I would imply it with my tone and hissing noise.
Come find me later, taco, or maybe you won't, poshaps you don't remember me. Hi, I'm stanley, the person you may or may want to marry someday. That's me! I'm happy to go on a blind date, or perhaps sign up to eharmony if it makes it easier for you, or maybe grinder (ha!).
Also, did you notice my batman avatar is awesome? I semi forget about these things, and frankly, it's pretty awesome. But so is bread, and I've generally forgotten about that, too.
My puppy is bigger, and faster, poshaps stronger. He loves me lots. Sometimes I play with him when I can't concentrate any longer on responsibilities. Sometimes he tries to play with me when I am concentrating on responsibilities, but I forgive him, he just wants to play. Not sure you understand that type of play, mainly because you don't have a dog. I mean, you do, but if you don't like it it's not really your dog, namsen?
Maybe you have to like something to own it. Otherwise its just something you have. That doesnt sound very sensible though.
Fuck, I'm tired. I'm just procrastinating. Hollabackson, you're born of a jackal. You're ---------.

Hahlo. I don't want to bother you because I think that would be rude but I'd like to let you know that i miss my best friend, and if you could ask him when he's coming back for me that'd be great. Or if he's coming back, but don't let on that I'm worried he's gone foreverever.
Sincerely, your BFF,

Hi, I am not so silly as to think you have not already thought of these things, I mean, you're a good researcher after all, but! Here they are again, maybe I will say them differently and it will help you think of something. So here goes.
Solving World Poverty, One City at a Time Beginning Where Miicaal Lives
Target Things
- it increases efficiency
- don't waste time / resources
- policy makers love it! Less funds, more results, easier to measure success!
Problem With Targeting Things
- Too much focus on targeting the escape from poverty
- Not enough focus on targeting stopping the descent into poverty
- Policy makers like both these things. Helping people be not poor looks great to the public, stopping people ever being poor will save them a lot of money.
Methods of Targeting
- indicator targeting: like income targeting, namsen? this is costly to obtain, costly to upkeep, easy to cheat the system, encourages that type of corruption. Plus, narrow targeting has more opposition because its specific, helps less people (but its more effective). Most likely to be cut in a budget.
- Geographical targeting: not that useful when the poor live alongside the rich. I'm presuming you don't live in India.
- Community based: It would be arrogant to assume you know more about being poor than the poor. Knowledge base at the community level is better than yours, however, community level utilisation of that knowledge / power is poor.
- Self targeting: those who needs help from schemes most are often those who don't have time to complete them.
- None of these four methods is "best," generally a mix is more effective than anything.
- Also, you're trying to hit a moving target. Poverty is variable. Acknowledge that in solutions.
Reasons for descent/escape
- are not symmetrical
- inward flows to poverty replenish the outward flows
Reasons for Descent into Poverty in poor countries at least
1. poor health: reduces earning capacity of unit while also increasing expenses. that sucks.
2. household related expenses (marriage/dowry/new house stuff)
3. funeral expenses
4. high interest private debt
5. crop failure (business failure for you, maybe?)
Reasons for escape
1. diversification of income
2. private sector employment
3. public sector employment
4. govt. assistance / NGO scheme
- these things are ordered by percentages. Reality of the situation? Your schemes are the least effective at alleviating poverty.
Types of Approaches
Direct - Immediate
- provide childcare so elders can work
establish microloans to expand productive enterprise
- fund literacy programs
- promote farmer co-ops (cheaper/better food)
- support meals on wheels etc, temporay alleviation of hunger programs
- improve education and training of relevant! skills
- transport services for getting to work, donate cars, buses and taxi services (my myoum works at a community based bus service, govt funded. I'm sure America has some)
- health care for the working poor (I don't know how american healthcare works, but the Appalchian Regional Commission did this, www.arc.org (?)
- involve faith based organisations (food, finance, counselling, labour for houses, referral agency, job opportunities)
- involve community based organisations (womens clubs, fraternities, grange clubs (what?), 4-H (what?), YMCA etc
- seek local charity assistance
- provide problem solving counselling. Remember: poor peple suck at rich people problems. They don't know how to deal with not being poor.
- continue welfare: reductions in welfare too early sees dropout
- involve community leaders
Long Term - Sustained Impact
- high school and community college skill training for later employment
- public health programs
- improve housing: match peoples savings / home construction charities
- address dysfunctional families (how? idk. through the counselling from the church?) keeping people together helps people
- institute summer school programs to lessen dropout rates
- change attitudes towards work for the poor (cos it clearly didnt work in the past for them): collect / disseminate poverty success stories! People love those. Encourage virtues such as work ethic, diligence, thrift, sobriety, financial responsibility
Indirect Impact
Environment
- improve infrastructure involving surface water. I really couldn't tell you why, but it was suggested.
- improve sanitary system
- improve infrastructure of roads, public buildings, telecommunications, sweres
Economic
- bring private investment
- create capital (loans?)
- economic development
- business development
- develop tourism: events = employment (but this is trickle down economics, and that hasnt really helped in the past)
- upgrade low wage jobs: give workers the skill/certificate that means they can earn more
Social
- develop community leadership
- develop a community awareness and responsibility towards the poor
- involve a broad (class) base in community development strategy / forums (the poor knows whats wrong most, and the rich know how to spend money on it the most)
- there's actually a model for community change, its called "Moving From Vision to Action: A Guide for Planning Community Change" it came with recommendations.
Ethical Issues
1. Non Malfeascence. Hippocratic, do no harm.
2. Autonomy. You don't own these people. You probably don't know better than these people. They have to be indepedent.
3. Beneficence. Aid them.
4. Fidelity. Sustain that it, don't tap any other ass until you have.
5. Justice. Treat all the poor equally. Even the women!
So?
- classify different types of poverty to increase targeting and reduction practices (single myoums, aged, young and inexperienced/stupid, drugged)
- "the imrpovement of income of the lower segment of income distribution remains the most basic effective intervention"
- cultural and social psychological factors should not be overlooked.
A note from the author (me)
- Most conditional aid (think the World Bank, Int. Monetary Fund) tends to give a lot of stick and no carrot. Westernized measures are quick to take away aid when conditions are not met but slow to give bonuses or incentives to conditions implemented swiftly.
- Yes, I learned this when I was reading about the UN.
- Have you noticed that everything I told you on fring is relevant here? Family, Career, Career Prospects. All things that promote social cohesion, solidarity and reduce deviance.
- I won't cite, but I will reference in case my notes look interesting enough to tell other people about

I have to pay my uni money, right? Tomorrow.
I can't transfer money from internet bank account because I need to type in an sms security code.
Second option? Call another registered number on my account (like a home phone). Don't have one.
Third option? Send it in by the postal service. That address is registered to burial.
Like, fuck, taco. I know it's just a simple matter of going to the uni and explaining, but fuck, that's really pretty fucking annoying.
Cranky.

I don't think you'll get this, you don't use this, but I broke my phone. If you can't find me, that's why.
Apart from the inconvenience factor, you're really the only reason I'm upset about this.

Hahlo lover,
Today is miracle today. I forgot my phone (it's in the car), otherwise I'd tell you in person, but today is miracle day baby!
Why? Because I am psychic with Jacob. He is not as psychic with me. When he picks me up he is always too early or too late. When I pick him up I always arrive just as he is ready to go. Always.
Evidence no. 2:
I found a park at uni !!! That has never happened to either of us in a whole year. A free park, right outside my house !!! (They have parking restrictions on most streets where you either pay/can only park for two hours)
3:
I reverse parked fine even though I haven't reverse parked since I went for my license and I probably wasn't even very good then !!!
4:
It was raining on the way down, and I said, 'if this really was miracle day it would stop raining when we get out of the car' and it did !!!
5:
There is a muddy slope we had to walk down and it's sooo slippery. Even when you are super careful you slip. Trust me, I live here. We did not slip !!!
I did forget my phone though, but, I suppose a debt collector will call me and it will end up being sooo fortunate I forgot my phone.
Miracle day. Believe it.

Hahlo lover,
Amisu! But really, let's get down to business shall we?
Crossfit. (haha, what else)
I'm really glad I practice pushups taco, because have you ever done Cindy? (AMRAP 20min 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats)
Five pullups? Only five, smash through.
15 squats? Leg stuff, no dramas
Ten pushups? Man. Again? I felt like I just finished this.
If you've never done it anything from 17 - 20 is a good score, but 20 is excellent because then you're ready for Chelsea, which is the exact same, but every minute on the minute for 30 minutes. Delightful!
So today we did find your 3RM push press. Mine was 45kg. That was swell. Except, well, let's be honest with ourselves here, it was pretty much a push jerk (that's when instead of pushing the bar up with arms you drop lower with your knees and then stand up, making it easier). Regardless, I am strong. Yes! Deanne's 3RM was 47kg (but, she did have lovely form about it) but Dimi! Dimi is amazing. Her 3RM was 64kg. Sigh. I think I'm gonna marry her!
Then we did
15min AMRAP
6 push press (60/40)
then 3 rounds of Cindy
namsen? Hope so.
You have to do 30 pushups before you've even completed a round! I finished 3 rounds + 10, which means I did 90 pushups, and yes, I probably could've dropped lower but I'm 98.sure% positive that my arms broke a right angle so, rep counts.
Anyway. Remember I had no food left except broccoli? Well, I fixed that.
Got you strawberries, but no trail mix. Got you cheese, but not sticks, wheels. Delicious delicious cheese wheels.
Got me almond butter! And sour cream. Whatever, shutup, I don't even have enough butter left to try making chocolate mousse again. Leave a girl alone.
I also have lots of work to do, that will get done, but I don't really know how or when, so that'll be fun. Plus, I think I'm going to the beach tomorrow. So that will be fun!
Everything is swell,
all the time,

Ahh, Miguel, there is more, of course there is more, of the kinds of things that make me want to kiss your face, no where else (don't be crass), and pat your head.
I probably know, now more than before but less than ahead, that I will always want to be around to rub you up the wrong way, but have you scratch my tummy. Well, not scratch, but you know the drill.

Hey kiddo,
I was proposed to about a week ago. And not by a homeless person!
Also thinking of buying things. Important things. Not just groceries and clothes.
Also also, sometimes my room smells like those incense sticks that sit in jars of incense oils, because I have one of those jars in my room. But sometimes, it doesn't. I think it selectively works so I don't get habituated to it and, thus, enjoy it more.
Anyway, you're sleeping, and you never call any more. So, here I am, telling you about marriage and property ownership and banalities so you'll realise that my life is progressing and you're missing out on it, even though I'm open to the idea of your acquaintance (as indicated by the banalities), and, therefore, you're also missing out on me, and how disturbingly (yet amazingly and wondrously fascinatingly) normal I'm becoming.
Yours, unusually sincerely,
this kid
PS - Sometimes it occurs to me that I'll never own an apartment or a house that will be mine alone. And that I'll never know the joy of waking up and wandering around naked and silent because no one else is around. Is that what I'm missing out on, in single life? Because it sounds nice. Possibly I'll just have to buy a second house (in the country) when I'm a millionaire. And it will be a dome home. Because you have no idea how much I crave a proper dome home, although it does have to be Proper.

I bought a book today and when I opened that book it had yellow gunky stuff on the pages and a few of them were stuck together and I was all "aww man... someone stuck gum in my book!" but I was wrong when I said that. Do you know what happened to my book miguel?
a) someone DID stick gum in it
ii) Blu-tak also comes as yellow-tak! (disclaimer: only in oz)
3) a cricket had been squished between the pages and left a cricket smush with antennae and all
