1 pregunta a Abdelá Taia
¿Será legal algún día el matrimonio gay en su país?
No me casaré jamás. El matrimonio es la negación de la individualidad. Me gustaría que los homosexuales disfrutasen de ese derecho como los heterosexuales. Pero no acepto más dictadura que la del amor.

Per aqui no batega res
I en dies com avui em pregunto, ¿quan diferent seria la meva vida si mai m'hagués anat? I, sobretot, ¿quan distinta seria jo?
I, de passada, ¿de què serveix preguntar-s'ho?
La majoria del temps no canviaria gens del que m'ha passat o deixat de passar, ja que de canviar alguna cosa jo em convertiria immediatament en algú que no sóc. És a dir, no seria jo mateixa. Seria una jo d'un Univers paral·lel. Suposo.
M'agradaria conèixer a la jo paral·lela que no es va anar de Barcelona. Estic segura que ella està més bona que jo. Fix que ja va acabar la carrera (¿haurà estudiat Teleco també?) i té una nòvia meravellosa i encantadora. Viuen (molt) juntes en un piset minúscul a Gràcia (o potser al barri Gòtic) i són fotudament feliçes (sp? wtf). ¿Com vestirà? ¿Serà una moderna?
¿I la jo que es va quedar a Madrid? Probablement també tingui xicota (i dóna-li, que no es tracta d'això, de debò), i està a punt a punt d'acabar la carrera (més a punt que jo, que encara em queda una estona). A aquesta me la imagino més grunge, i no sé per què però, encara que segueix estant de millor veure que la meva jo d'aquesta dimensió, la meva jo barceloní segueix estant bastant més bona. Una veritable pena.
¿I la que va tenir els ous d'escapolir-se a Nova Zelanda amb aquella ballarina exòtica argentina? Tant de bo poguessis veure't la cara, gairebé t'ho creus...
¿Quantes més jos existiran per aquí? ¿Quants girs al camí m'han limitat la resta?
Encara què la cabra tira al monte, i el més lògic (i sa, potser) seria pensar que sóc igual de pringada a tot el Multivers.
Fi de la historia.

ISFJ
In case you're not familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, it basically is a questionnaire designed to identify psychological differences and narrow you down to one of the 16 Personality Types.
I've done it, and it turns out I'm a ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging, although I'm there-there in the Feeling-Thinking line). Which means I belong to the Guardian temperament, I am a Protector.
Spooky how weirdly almost accurate it sounds:
- Myers-Briggs Characteristics
According to Myers-Briggs, ISFJs are interested in maintaining order and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are steadfast and meticulous in handling their responsibilities. Although quiet, they are people-oriented and very observant. Not only do they remember details about others, but they observe and respect others’ feelings. Friends and family are likely to describe them as thoughtful and trustworthy.
- Keirsey Characteristics
According to Keirsey, ISFJs, or "Protector Guardians", are most concerned with taking care of people by keeping them safe and secure. They are modest caretakers who do not demand credit or thanks for their efforts. But while they are essentially very compassionate—and in fact exercise more patience in dealing with the disabled than perhaps any other type—their shyness with strangers can lead others to misread them as standoffish. Only among friends and family may this quiet type feel comfortable speaking freely. ISFJs are serious people with a strong work ethic, not inclined to self-indulgence. They believe in being meticulous and thrifty. They work well alone. While they may enjoy taking care of others, they do not enjoy giving orders.
Hm, a little off?

'back seat'
life. it's like the back of the bus. i've always preferred the back seats. usually less crowded, much more cozy.
and just like that, i've noticed a change: i use to sit on the one in the corner, the one that's another three seats away from the exit and at least two people have to get up or move in order for you to get out. but, now, i never go near that one. i prefer the one in the opposite corner, a complete open way for the exit. i have to know i can smoothly slide out of there any second, without so much as anybody even noticing it.
so what if i don't ever catch that bus where i feel like riding till its last stop? who says i have to want to? i'll get down whenever i want to, wherever i feel like.
if i haven't used all the credit in my public transportation card, that is, and some bus actually let's me in.
for now i'm going on foot wherever if the distance allows me to, anyway.

Neil Gaiman:
you're slowly turning into my new god
Para muestra, un botón: Where do you get your ideas? by Neil Gaiman (1997)
[My idea of hell is a blank sheet of paper. Or a blank screen. And me, staring at it, unable to think of a single thing worth saying, a single character that people could believe in, a single story that hasn't been told before.]

nena + nena = nena ?
Parece ser que científicos del Instituto de Genética Reproductiva de Chicago han encontrado una forma de crear "esperma artificial" a partir de células de la médula espinal humana. Tanto para hombres como para mujeres. Lo que hace viable que dos mujeres puedan tener un hijo biológica y genéticamente de ambas. A la vez. Por supuesto (imagino) que la genética nos limitaría a hijas hembras. Os dejo con algunas citas (en particular me gusta la primera) y links interesantes:
• Daily Mail: "A transplant technique has been devised that could effectively remove men from the process of creating life."
• Daily Telegraph: "Women could one day grow their own sperm, says a scientist who today claims to have turned bone marrow into early-stage sperm cells."
• The Independent: "Women might soon be able to produce sperm in a development that could allow lesbian couples to have their own biological daughters, according to a pioneering study published today."

uncalled-for
["April's Shower" 2006(c)]
April: I'm not as strong as you are.
Alex: I'm not so strong anymore, April. There's so much shit going on out there, the last place we should have to struggle is in love. I had to fight for my mother's love, father's love, and now your love. I give up, when does it get easy?
In real life, that would be it. *That's it*. But Hollywood needs to pull off a happy fucking ending:
April: I don't know. I've been fighting my whole life, until I met you. Do you know you were the easiest thing to love? I never felt so much love for anyone.
it's not real -it's an illusion. unreachable. unattainable. -and so i vowed not to take anything less, hurting around anyone and myself gratuitously

McKAY: We both know that that is a waste of time. Maybe you could do it, but ...
WEIR: I don’t know if I could, but you are certainly selling yourself short by not even trying.
McKAY: To be honest, I don’t have the first clue where to start.
WEIR: Stop thinking.
McKAY: See, I don’t understand that.
WEIR: One of the biggest things that holds people back is that somewhere deep down they believe they’re not deserving. You will have to ... release your burden.
McKAY (rolling his eyes): Oh, please!
WEIR: I know – spirituality to you is a load of mumbo jumbo, but it does help people find peace with themselves.
McKAY: But you have to believe.
WEIR: I’m not talking about religion. I’m talking about shedding yourself of guilt, of anger, of ill-feeling, of anything that makes you feel shame. And then you can focus all of your energy on //ascending//.
make all the amends you can do, ask all the questions you need to do, hug all the people/animals/plants/things that you feel the impulse to hug, take the time to care for all of those you care about, give all the thanks you know are deserved [and needed, and even expected -be polite, doesn't cost a thing, really] -all in good time, all in your lifetime, ASAP
and do it, not just write it in your damn little sad window to the "world" (slash blog), get up & out & fucking do it

avui he après...
avui he après que si arribo algun dia a ser enginyera hauré de ser física, economista, matemàtica, diplomàtica, advocada i psicòloga. que sóc una "empresa en potència" i que una vegada em graduï podré ser-lo legalment si estic col·legiada.
doncs què bé.
però sabeu el més interessant i *txatxi* que he "après" (entre cometes perquè ja ho sabia) avui? doncs preneu nota perquè si no ho sabíeu aquesta veritat és encara més universal i absoluta que la de "la veritat està en la transparència":
"l'ésser humà, per definició, va a la seva bola"
jo encara diria més: l'ésser humà, per definició (i per què no), va a la seva puta bola
