also not a sims post
I've been feeling a general sort of "blah" that I can't tell if it's mental or physical, which is why I'm awake rn even though this is technically my middle of the night. I didn't even play sims last night, that's how blah I felt. I'm sure this odd stomachache doesn't help.
So anyway, in my sleeplessness I noticed that the doll I've slept with since the age of like, idk, 3, is disgusting. I've been putting off washing her because she's so old and I'm scared she'll fall apart, but today I decided to give it a try. If she falls apart, I sew her back up, right? She has a cloth body and a plastic head with pink yarn hair, and plastic limbs. I figure we can just put her little outfit in the wash in one of those mesh lingerie bags on hand-wash, and I'll sew up the seams if necessary. In fact, it's not even her outfit, it came from another similar doll (her sister). That doll is wearing Ken doll clothes. idk don't ask.
So I washed her in hand soap and now she's laying out to dry in the still-hot Florida sun outside on a wire rack, at my mother's suggestion. I can see her through the window looking at me like WHY HAVE YOU ABANADONED MEEEEEE. I'm supposed to go out and flip her periodically.

Unrelatedly, Cheryl Cole is in Afghanistan to support British troops. Because they've been there for TEN YEARS. Ten! I mean obviously not all the same people are there, but still. That's a long-ass time to be in another country, fighting a war. My basic opinion is basically, isn't it time for this to be over now? I would make a terrible president, I just want us all to be friends (omg why wasn't I a Hufflepuff. Although maybe Ravenclaw is quirky enough to truly believe we can all be friends idk, it's a very Luna thing to think).
Time to go flip my doll.

The French and the Russians also got their asses kicked in Afghanistan, but I don't know what to think. We didn't come in to fight the Taliban but it's dangerous to leave it alone, especially for women and kids, but also because it could become a terrorist stronghold again pretty fast under Taliban leadership. If it weren't so mountainous and cavernous and easy to hide in, we'd have an easier time of it there. Have you ever read "A Thousand Splendid Suns"?

I haven't read much of anything about it, embarrassingly enough. I mean, I know enough to know it would be pretty cruel of us to just up and leave the innocent Afghani people. But there's also that tiny hippie part of me that's like WHY CAN'T WE ALL BE FRIENDS :(
