OK, my actual post. Yes, my computer is actually fixed. It apparently had 616 viruses on it. No wonder it fucking died, geez. You never realize what an internet addict you've become until internet time is confined to a half hour a day at the library.
I have a part-time job now, though it won't be quite enough hours. Still gotta find something else as well. And school starts next week, I'm actually really excited. I am such a book-loving dork schoolgirl. Luckily I have plenty of vices to help counteract my nerdiness. Speaking of which, yes, it is only 8:30, and yes, I have already had several beers. Enjoying my last bit of freedom and brain-cell killing before school starts.
I've been reading this book from the 60s, Teaching As A Subversive Action, and have been amazed at how resonant and pertinent some of the issues discussed are to the present day. I've had a similar feeling listening to old Dead Kennedys and Circle Jerks; it's like they're fucking psychic or something. I mean, c'mon, they're talking about Afghanistan for crying out loud. Then I realize, it's not that they're prescient, it's that nothing has fucking changed, still the same old bullshit. This is depressing. Yes, Jello, I still think you're a fucking god, you called it, but I now know that it's easy to predict if you know that nothing ever fucking changes. Bah. Enough with the cynicism.
What gives me hope is all the goodness that remains in people despite all the forces that turn us against one another. What keeps me going is having the fucking cool as hell friends that I have and now, actually being in love for the first time in my life.
Oh God, drunken lj entries is a definite no-no. But oh well. Here I am, I have returned to the world of the glowing screen.
