"Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?"

Today, after lunch, I had therapy. The 7th anniversary of mom's accident is in a couple of weeks, so we're mostly talking about that. I took the bus to go back home, and shortly after we left there was a bit of a ruckus, because there was a mom with a small kid in her arms, and no one on the reserved seats gave her the seat even when she asked for it (by the way, even if it wasn't common courtesy, it's the law to leave those seats for old people, disabled persons, pregnant women, and parents carrying little kids). I was sitting in the front, listening to the Eagles on my iPod, so I hadn't actually heard any of that, until a woman tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I could leave my seat to the kid since his mom was crying. I obviously jumped up and offered them my seat, and then spent the whole ride comforting her. The main problem was, this mom was Asian. And here in Italy, if one isn't white, then one is most likely an immigrant. And there's a lot of racism, especially in this part of the country, against immigrants, you have no idea. So this mom was tired and exasperated because she thought they ignored her because she wasn't white. And let's face it, she was right. After she went off the bus, thankfully smiling and happy again (because I'm THE BEST at comforting people), I overheard the other passengers' conversation about what had just happened, and it was Racism 101, not kidding. Thinking about what they said makes me feel like taking up smoking.

Talking about fandom, which always makes everything better, there's a teaser trailer online, for the Iron Man 3 trailer. A trailer of a trailer. The trailer got Inception'd. Somebody stop me. But seriously what the hell is going on with Pepper?!
