(no subject)
I went to Barnes & Noble today. I love going there; I could spend hours there (as I do). So I decided to start a collection of books, I bought a couple of the classics: Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, and Les Miserables(full version) by Victor Hugo. I know Catcher isn't a classic, but it's my favorite. Anyway, I wanted to buy The Outsiders by SE Hinton, but they were out; I had no idea it was a teen novel. So then I got home around 10ish because they close the store at 10, and I've been bored out of my mind since. I have school in a few hours, and homework that needs doing awaits me downstairs, in the basement, where I live, in a room that's too messy to even walk safely from one side to the other. I don't know why I keep it that way, I suppose it's just easier,... or not, I don't know. Anyway I'm getting tired of it so I guess I'll go clean it now and start the mess again tomorrow. I have no clean clothes either. What will I ever do with myself? I need to get it together.
Save the whales!
I've also made a small list of things I need:
1) Job
2) Car
3) PC
4) Stereo
5) Jeans
If you need further convincing, I can send you and/or your party a complimentary slideshow of me being sad and in need. Otherwise, feel free to make contributions to the Priscila Foundation. You can send donations to Jackie, who will, in turn, send them to me (as I will not post my mailing adress on the internet for lack of confidence in some viewers of LJ). THANK YOU!
You know, that really makes me angry (if that's possible). In school today, we had a special assembly in the middle of class for the Tsunami victims in SE Asia. They asked us for money and everything. I mean, there's nothing wrong with asking for a little humanitarian aid, but the way in which they carried it out was just inadequate for the school enviornment. So they take us out of class and usher us all into the gymnasium (and this was not an optional assembly like all the other ones are), and one of the assistant principals cries in front of everybody, then she sais something to the effect of "I've been really moved by the tragedies and the aftermath of the natural disaster in SE Asia," after which, one of the student council kids runs up and plays a slideshow (a crappily made one, at that) of the sort like the TV ones with starving children and kids crying by their dead brother or sister, and that sort of thing. Then when that was over, the AP went back on and said that they (meaning the school) would like to donate some money, after which she proceeded to describe figures "and if every student donated $1 we could raise $1500, and if every student donates $3....."
I think what bothered me was that they don't really give us a choice. I hate being guilted into things, especially forking over some cash, because I'm also in need. I'm not aginst helping people. Last week I made a contribution to UNICEF. I'm not sure what that is, or stands for, I got a pop up while surfing the net. Anyway, I was guilted into doing that, and I'm sure I've not been the only one. I do enough to get my share of guilt trips. I don't need one more, and one that I can't control, much less. Anyhow, I know this is really tivial and definetly not worth the amount of thought I've given it, and I don't even feel that strongly about it. I guess sometimes one has to find a way to channel other things. This was not the best topic to channel other agst through, but I chose it. Poor choice, why not something like pro wrestling or illegal abortion? Oh, man. There I go, my thought process kills me. It makes no sence. If I know something to be right or wrong, why do I choose poorly? How can I know so much and still be stupid?
AHHH! I'll bet, if I were professionally analized by a psychologist, they'd send me to the loon house ASAP.
I'm kidding. I'm not crazy. I just try too hard to make sence of things. I need to keep it simple, which I will attempt to master this year.
:D
