You know, people are ridiculous. They were actually talking about the possibility that we shouldn't air Bin Laden's messages because it's just "giving him air time". That's all fine and good, but if we're going to stop airing Bin Laden's messages, which is you know, actual news, than I think we should stop airing shit about celebrities. I really don't give a sideways flying fuck about whether Britney Spears looked fat at the VMAs. On the other hand, I do care quite a bit about why Bin Laden is urging people to blow us all up. Have we honestly reached the point in our collective feel good society that we want to hear about Lindsey's latest rehab flunk out but not about what it is about us that other people hate? Seriously? No really, seriously?

And this terror bullshit. Why do we find it acceptable that every September 11th politicians give speeches about how we could be victims of a terrorist attack at any given moment. I'm not arguing that we can't, but I don't see why we have to wander around scared out of our wits either. We're more likely to die in car accidents than we are terrorist attacks. Why do people find this acceptable?

And on a personal note, I'm vaguely annoyed at someone. Since when is it acceptable to say one thing, change your mind, but not inform me about said change then get pissy when I leave without you? Am I a god damned mind reader? And for the record, no, I don't fucking care about the opinions of our other friend. I was unaware that I was a dancing monkey for everyone. Sometimes, I just don't want to talk. This does not mean I hate anyone. This means that I'm entitled to have more than one emotion.
