I had certain things to discuss today, however, they all got overshadowed by a particular event that took place this evening. Before I get to that…

I’d like to thank everyone for the kind comments left in the previous post, thank you for being so considerate. I can report that the bad news I mentioned has nothing to do with my health. It may mess with my mental health, ha. Health wise, right now, I’m all good (thankfully). I do have Graves disease, but it’s not a huge deal. I learnt that it kind of runs in my family. It causes hyperthyroidism, look it up, if you are inclined to. Having Graves disease is nothing compared to the hundreds of other illnesses that are far worse and it’s no where near as serious as my episode of myocarditis two years ago.

So, this evening, I was at work. Not at Hugo Boss, the other job I have. A customer who comes in regularly was talking about Australians and calling them all ‘stupid’. Now, I know I probably shouldn’t have said anything and usually, I never would, however, in this instance, I couldn’t help myself. Plus, I know the nature of that job and I knew that my boss wouldn’t mind. Anyway, this customer had a very obvious Australian accent, no hint of ethnicity. I asked him if he was Australian, he said no. I asked him what he was and he responded with Italian. I asked him if he had Australian citizenship and he unsurprisingly confirmed that he did. I replied, by telling him that he is an Australian.

I didn’t really say much after that, he was talking to one of the owners. I don’t want to bore you with every single detail, but basically, I ended up having an argument with him because in the space of about twenty minutes he went on to:

- Suggest that every single Jew on the planet is evil and should be bent over and shot
- Praise Hitler
- Deny the Holocaust
- Call homosexual people… just, appalling things and place them in the same category as Jews (in terms of killing them)
- Brag about the fact that he enjoys bashing homosexuals and loves hearing them scream

I don’t know how I sat through it without telling him to shut the fuck up. I was infuriated. What he was preaching about was disgusting, I calmly tried to rationalise with him but he repeatedly told me that I was brainwashed and bluntly told me that I was ‘full of shit’. At the end, he asked of my age and decided that I was too immature to be 21. UGH. I find it so pathetic, that in this day and age, people with such a revolting level of ignorance exist. What really pissed me off is that after I defended Jewish people in general he responded with, “I bet you like the gays too?” I was stunned and said, “I have nothing against them” and of course, he went on some rant about how “horrible” they are.

I told him that one day a gay doctor might save his life and he said, “HA, they would kill us all if they had the chance” WHAT THE FUCK?!

There are just, no words.

It feels kind of strange going from such a serious problem in society to fashion… forgive me.

I got that leather looking top from Savers (an op shop/thrift store, I think it’s like the Australian version of Value Village) much earlier this year. It’s some sort of sex/fetish top and I always imagined wearing it on top of a sheer shirt. Finally got around to it.
