"Men have a much harder time committing than women, and are more likely to cheat," is not a valid opinion, you ignorant bitch, it is a sexist statement. I am not getting "overworked" when I get really offended and angry about your fucking misandry, nor am I "easily offended."
AUUUUGH. Superiority complex, manipulative, and a total BITCH.

Yeah, I had two panic attacks because of how stressed she's making me today. Then, I started to backslide pretty massively: I had four pints in thirty minutes, and when I suggested sleeping in the train station because a friend of mine had done it, she said, "Well, your 'friend' isn't me."
So, I locked myself in the bathroom and punched myself in the arm as hard as I could until my upper arm was a mottled purple mess.
I was doing so well when I wasn't around this person, too. I haven't felt this shitty in months, and I feel really angry and guilty that all that progress is gone. I'm just going to stay away from the Harpy during the day and hope for the best.

Why are you travelingassociated with her?
If someone makes you feel that way you should not be around them. Ever.
I ask myself the same question every ten minutes. She's from U of I (on my program) and my friend Andy is friends with her, so the three of us decided to take a trip together. I knew she held some disagreeable opinions, but the nastier aspects of a person's personality don't really emerge until you're living with them.
I don't think she'll ruin the trip provided there are no more snags that jeopardize a night's stay and provided I can stay the ever-loving fuck away from her during the day. However, France has been so close-quarters and has provided a fuck-up (that is her fault!) that has made living with her unbearable.
I think you should talk to her face-to-face. Tell her she is an unmitigable bitch, you don't want to have anything more to do with her, and after the trip is over you aren't going to. Make it clear you no longer care what she thinks because you've written her off as an unredeemable jerk.
Also, write her off as an unredeemable jerk. Put up a wall of not caring and stop reacting to her. Deal with her only in tacit, utilitarian communication when necessary and ignore her at all other times. Giving a shit about someone like that is not worth it. You don't deserve to be treated that way, and you don't have to let her make you feel that way.
I dunno, sounds like dude should sit down and talk with himself for a while before talking with anyone else. Hope you dont keep hurting yourself Wub! Any trip can make shit a lot more emotional and stressful, doubly so when theres all the hiking and whatnot.

The hiking is helpful (I move at my own pace and vastly outstride my two companions, aside from the fact that I hike to relax anyway), I've just stopped listening to her entirely. I wrote a lot about the recent situation while on the train today, and I'm setting an appointment with a psychiatrist for the week after I get back to the states. The last two incidents that were similarly self-destructive were a while back, but the rapidity with which I regressed has convinced me to seek some help. Thanks for caring, all those above. Responses like that are part of why I come here in the first place.
We got waylaid in Geneva and I paid out the ass for a place to nap. And McDonalds that cost 15USD. Hateful music is useful at this stage; I'm working with Deathspell Omega, Earth, and Pelican.
The fact that there's any fucking controversy over the fact that they cast a black girl as Rue in Hunger Games makes me regret choosing "Human" at character generation. Can I go back and be something less embarrassing, like a tick? Or a mote of dust?

Even if Rue and Thresh WEREN'T explicitly described as black in the books, this would still be a gigantic fail. I feel ya.

I admit I was a little surprised at rue being portrayed as black, but I re-read the book and I can see it. Also it makes the unfortunate implications all the more evident since she comes from the agriculture district.
In other news, despite Rick santorum's repeated attempts to sabotage his own campaign, the Republicans are still in love with the guy! What the fuck?!

Uhhmm, really? She is explicitly described as black.
"…And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor…"

Could have been Mexican.
I admit, I did picture her as a Mexican.
Also, isn't Katniss described as having olive skin? I don't recall her being a pasty white girl with some makeup on.
Technically, yes. But the movie's not the first thing to get that wrong. The cover for the UK edition of Hunger Games has her with fairly pale skin.

No, it expressly said "dark brown." The Mexican coloration tends to be more bronze.

There is a range of coloration among Mexicans -- probably based on what percentage of their ancestry came from European Spanish (light skinned with maybe some olive tones) stock vs. local native stock vs. various other groups (African slaves, etc.) brought to Mexico. I'm not Mexican (or any other Latin American ethnicity), but I often get mistaken for it (even by Latin Americans) due to my name and my appearance -- they're probably assuming I'm of mostly Spanish stock (which, being Portuguese, isn't that far off). Then again, I also get mistaken for Italian and Greek sometimes too.
Now I haven't read the books, but I did read the descriptions of the characters. I wouldn't have automatically assumed those characters were black -- they could've just as easily been Latin American or middle eastern or south Asian or whatever. However, seeing black actors cast in their parts, I would've been like "Yeah, that works too. I can see that."

Here, this should drive pretty much anyone away.
