intertribalHere's a cute meme stolen from another user, asiannabananna. I don't know this person. I was just browsing LJs, looking for quizzes to entertain my absent-minded head. Speaking of absent-minded, my father has a good story of absent-mindedness. He was looking for his sunglasses - it's bright in Indonesia. He looked through the living room and the kitchen while I was sitting at the kitchen table with my Ramen noodles that smell the same as the Ramen noodles I eat now. I think it might have been our housekeeper who finally pointed out that they were on his head. It was Election Day, and he was going off to vote. He always claimed that he was in the "white" party, which is basically the unaffiliated party, because even though he worked for the government in that he worked for a public university, he couldn't bring himself to vote for Golkar, Soeharto's ultra-capitalist ruling party. As I recall our housekeeper used to vote for the green party, which was the Muslim party. PPP was strongest among the poor. Election Day was the reason I was at home in the middle of the day - school had been dismissed, as it always was by mid-morning on Election Days. Too dangerous. Reports of riots would come flooding in and although they never touched our part of the city - the outskirts, far from the student protesters - the school administrators always erred on the side of making sure students would be able to get home without the help of blockades.
Sorry for the tangent. It just occurred to me. It always does when I think of the word absent-minded.
