Sometimes I still get the two confused til this day. I really hope I am not the only one.

Hectic Year So Far
My birthday was two months ago and the the stuff that has been going on has certainly been full of misadventures.
Friend in trouble for supposed shop lifting and I had to wait til his mom got there. Three hours later.
I later went to find out that I was almost not graduating. Had several missing credits, hours, and one obligation.
Then I got lost while driving from the movies. Was too much of a dumbass to call my folks. I felt like a hobo because I had to take off my shoes due to stepping on a puddle. I got home a good three hours later.
I did go to the March of Dimes. It was really fun, dancing and walking around with a good friend of mine. I actually stayed over at her house and just watched Joyful Noise. We had a pizza and a naked churro, highly disappointing.
Stayed at Miami two times. Nice hotel but it was quiet boring. I was not going to explore outside.
But that is all for the last two months. Nothing exciting to anyone’s else.
Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have.
Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience.
One of the many reasons I love this show.
