Oh, and Then There Were Protesters
Where does time go?
I am full of detachment today. I don't want to do anything, I feel irritable, cranky, and fuck. Anyway, I got a call while I was DJing yesterday, the conversation went about as follows:
1) I've never heard, "mixie," in my entire life.
2) That she got all huffy.
3) Who the hell was this girl and who did she hear I was mixed from?
I mean, I've been on the radio a while, but that creeped the shit out of me.

Me: Radio K.The relavent bit was over at that point, but a few things stand out:
Caller: Hi, is this Thomas?
Me: Yup, what can I do for you?
Caller: I have a question and a request.
Me: Okay, shoot.
Caller: I heard you were a, "mixie," is that true?
Me: ... A what?
Caller: A, "mixie," half-asian, half-white.
Me: Oh, yeah it's true, why?
Caller: Well, I'm a mixie too. [She may have said something after that, I don't really remember]
Me: ... Okay, what can I play for, you oh fellow, "mixie?"
Caller: ... [Indignant] Fine, I guess you didn't want to have me call, but anyway, I would like to hear...
1) I've never heard, "mixie," in my entire life.
2) That she got all huffy.
3) Who the hell was this girl and who did she hear I was mixed from?

Shits, man.
Glad to know my confusion wasn't just me.

Maybe she meant, "muggle." You're not half-wizard are you?
Very weird. I've actually been stopped on the street and asked if I was mixed race. Very freaky. Why the hell do people care?
And I've never heard "mixie" before. In fact, I hate it. It sounds... yuck. Not good. Creepy. There's probably a reason she's the only one that uses it.
Xopl- I am half-wizard, half-wolfman.
Anonymous- I've never understood it either. "It's so novel! A person of mixed bloods!"
