I had a great time seeing music concerts out of town this weekend. It is official music venues outside of Virginia have bounced back better after the pandemic. A guy even bought me free french fries so my weekend went extra well. The last few times I went out locally con-artists tried to rob me constantly so I am a travel fan now.
I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans and an issue with that is how massive my home sickness for the South is when the entire Internet shows me photos of how great was the Mardi Gras party I just missed. If I can’t get to my old apartment it is a reminder to get out to events more in the towns near me. That used to be my normal neighborhood, and I used to have that many guys to choose from for dating.
Part of my family has been out of town in California for a family emergency. I am going on an airport journey today for pickup and drive-back.

Another Valentine’s Day alone in Virginia with no boyfriend or husband at all, and I hate being alone. I have a completed University degree from Loyola University New Orleans, but online dating apps and clubs have only introduced me to really abusive, mean, retarded, and dumb dates in Virginia. The worst I have seen with my eyeballs. Time for road trips.

Woot and oh la la I do not want to wait for this new season at AMC to be out May 12 of 2024 like most national best selling book fans. Note these books are R rated, and are for the young at heart but not the young in age.

My family has a California funeral to go to this week. I was at the airport today. Thankfully it is not in the storm area, and the flight is not delayed.

Abusive cousin Zathyn screamed “Schizoid Girl Andrea” at me for 60 minutes this week. I have never had a schizophrenia diagnosis I had PTSD therapy years ago. (After I was raped in the military.) This is why I have been sensitive about my past lately it is because my cousin has been insulting me while yelling imagined problems all week. In addition he has been using my vehicle so much I can’t use it for work. My mother insists I share computers, food, and transportation with this family relative. The situation is getting worse daily. It is a vicious cycle because it is hard to save up money for a replacement car to drive on the open road if he is demanding car time the same hours I work. He describes me loudly on the phone as unemployed, only donating plasma, but I work as a teacher. He says he is better than me, but is using my family car to work. If he is doing so great he should get his own nice car, computer, and house by himself maybe? My Facebook got hacked right when he used my computer to watch “work videos” suspiciously. I see him as we share a vehicle. I live in an area with no bus service. Uber and Lyft are flaky and expensive. The roads have no bike lanes. It is hard to even try to bike to work in freezing ice during winter. Transportation problems become work issues really fast.

The famous Life Magazine VJ 1945 Sailor Kiss photos is a popular image of sexual assault. It was wildly protested by the #metoo movement. I had to work in another class today (4th this year) with this horrific photo on the wall. It shows a terrible image of women lacking body control in the USA being owned by a sailor, and people laughing and smiling at it. Arms at her side hating the kiss with a man she doesn’t know. Men who served their country are not owed sex. He did not know that woman, she was not returning the kiss, he is much bigger, and has her pinned. A very offensive image to see at work. Years ago when I was in the military they tried to make me take an AIT reclassification class when I had not completed basic training, or AIT. This was an illegal action before the military men started demanding sexual favors. I had to have rape survival therapy for years afterwards. Images like this cause real problems. Rapist-rapist all my tortured eyes did see, rapist-rapist all Fort Lee.
