I apologise for the rant
My first post since ages and it's a rant. I know it's unfair to those who actually read this, but I need to get this out of my system. Like always, I won't mention any names or descriptions. I make certain the other party remains anonymous. This means you only know my side of the story. But I don't mind. After all, this is my blog XP.
A middle aged woman thought it was okay to be all bitchy to me. I gave up my seat for her, but apparantly she claimed she had more right 'because she got in earlier'. I believe we both pay the same for a ride. Anyway, instead of starting a hissy fit, I only said: "Excuse me for giving up my seat for you."
So, I sat down near the window, which is not a seat, but a... I don't know what it is. A bump or so? Anyway, considering my bad hip, that is a BAD choice, but it's less bad than standing for half an hour. So, in fact, a healthy middle aged woman send a young cripple woman away from a seat.
Halfway the ride there were more empty seats, but I refused to go and sit there. I have my pride. I do not want to give that woman the pleasure. So, I kept sitting there, in the aisle.
She got out sooner than me and she started a hissy fit. "There are so many seats and you still sit here!"
Of course, do you think I WANT to sit there after being treated so rude?
"You are so rude!"
Who do you think I am? A 16 year old? But I denied her that pleasure. All I said was: "Do you really think I want to sit there now? This whole situation says more about you than it says about me."
I refused to explain her about my crippleness. I deny her that knowledge - I keep the honour to myself.
"Yes! Yes it does say a lot more about you than it says about me! It says how stupid you are! The insolence!"
Because, apparantly, my remark was too high of intelligence for her. She totally pulled it out of context and then just retorted with that I was rude and stupid. Yeah, cuz that's SO MATURE.
I denied her any more response and she got out (nose held high!). A woman next to me asked me what that was all about. I was honest: I gave her my seat (while being cripple) and this was how I was repaid. The woman laughed. I was right.
This does say a lot more about that woman than it says about me.
And yes, my hip hurts now. But I rather want a hurting hip (and keep my pride) than give her the pleasure of seeing me taking an other seat. And if being smart and mature equals superiority complex and rude behaviour towards others (and the young), then please, LET ME STAY STUPID AND INSOLENT FOREVER.

The return of Kitty Ocean's Boredom!
...or at least, I plan.
No, I still won't fill hundred of posts about my life. It's not interesting, nothing ever happens and I don't want to complain all day long again.
So, I will do things differently. I want to fill this blog with reviews about the How to Draw books I own (and I own quite a lot!) and perhaps sometimes a manga or art materials. Question is: what would YOU think is interesting to read about it? What would you like to know? What is important about a review? Which questions do you have about a book? I know it's all about my opinion, but suggestions are always welcome !
