Battles.

I have dipped my toe into this pool before. Straight to the point, a psychic once told me I was born with boxing gloves on. She's blind so ... clearly the real deal A therapist, whom I visited twice - my prognosis? Cured - told me to choose my battles wisely. I should lighten the hate load I dragged around with me like a sack of two dozen frozen puppies. 'Relax' she said, 'enjoy the ride.' I've tried to take on these intimate bits of information, and suggestions, so I'll go through some battles I've fought recently, and we can all contemplate whether they were worth fighting or not. GO TEAM! 1) An old Russian man on a bus tripped on my foot. My legs were crossed, and my foot was clearly dangling in the aisle. It stuck to his leg as he walked by, clinging to it for a whole step. I apologised, and removed my foot. He side-swiped me with a raspberry (I fucking hate raspberries), and hurled abuse at me. 'You tried to trip me. Stupid man. I ought to give you one.' I told him that I would like to bear his child, and that I thought I was falling in love with him. He came back on to the tram and tried to get at me. I was forced to run to the other door, leave the tram, and leg it the extra four stops home. I enjoyed the walk. My battle? I'm at an Internet cafe. A woman starts talking on the phone at an unbelievable volume. It was impossible to think, let alone fucking type. After 5 minutes of listening to emo trite, I stood, walked to the desk, paid, and turned to her as she continued her conversation: 'You made me leave here.' I was pointing now. 'You made me leave here because I can't listen to you anymore.' I don't think I would've confronted a man in the same way (I was at least ten feet away). My battle? Vehemently arguing with anyone who enjoyed the movie Monster. My battle? A man was berating his child in what I thought to be an inappropriate, aggressive manner. I also assumed that if I opened my mouth, the child would be beaten harder, in private. He wore a Collingwood scarf. I told him I prayed 'our boys' would get up this weekend. My battle?
