in the time from about noon on friday until 6 am today, i slept a total of three and a half hours. needless to say, it was a really bad idea, although i had a lot of fun binging on tenipuri. however, i kind of made myself sick, just like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlepint warned me (although also needless to say, i laughed off her concern like a typical big sister). then i slept eleven hours, and i haven't even been awake four hours now and i'm already kind of exhausted again. it's a good thing i can't go to sleep without eating dinner or i'd be in danger of not doing any homework today at all. note to self: never do this again.
in other news, my quest for elephant jokes led me to this great book from the 70s called children's humour which starts right off with a wonderful righteously wrathful rant:
so needless to say, i checked out this gem on the spot without seeing if it really had any material i needed. fortunately, there is a chapter on elephant jokes.1
1. ( what's a cross between a prostitute and an elephant? )
eta: okay, wow, this book is a truly bizarre mixture of liberal rage and the kind of conservative political position that i'd most quickly associate with the religious right if she weren't also so critical of them. i'm confused. and so is the author, but she's both confused and confusing.
( birth control is good but population control and abortions are evil Attacks on the Child. also, lesbians support zero population growth and abortions because they're embittered by their own failure at motherhood. bonus appearance of Gender Difference 'feminism'. pants and jobs for women are bad! )

... the rather mild and normal expressions of the sexual and scatalogical interests and explorations of the children... are turned... by helpful adults, springing up with prefabricated expurgations and imitations, into violently cruel and sadistic fakelore, with which it is intended to block out and replace all authentic expressions of the child's nascent sexuality. the whole literature of 'nursery rhymes,' as they are called, ...are the complete course in this attempted retraining of normally sexual and scatological children into nasty and neurotic adults, seething with the demanded sexual repression that is matched by the openly inculcated anal compulsions and aggressions.
