argument city.
So, yesterday can pretty much be summed up as aggravating.
First, I wish IM had some sort of color coding to indicate inflection and facial expression. Like pink text = kind-hearted teasing, red text = I'm being a big fucking insecure bitch, yellow = sarcasm, etc. I sent this pink message yesterday morning which was apparently interpreted as red and got to start my day off by being misinterpreted and snapped at, which prompted me to snap back, awesome.
Then I go to school and get to read about the college republicans and their great idea to exchange unused Michael moor tickets for beer. Wow, awesome, show how you don't agree with what Michael Moore has to say by preventing other people who are interested from attending his speech and hearing him, oh and then go get wasted. You know, just because you CAN do something doesn't make it right to do it. I think a lot of politics would benefit from remembering that. What ever happened to just being tasteful?
Later I accidentally walk into a conversation about gun control, which turns into more about the above which finally ends in Dave and I talking about APO and him basically telling me to just stop bitching and actually say something. I realize I really do have to do it because this is what I have been complaining about other people not doing here for awhile so, next chapter in aggravating day:
At the APO meeting I tell everyone I think the induction ceremony sucks and that it's basically mild hazing. Pretty much no one but Dave (who is not a voting member anyway, he's just the faculty advisor) and kind of Amelia agree with me. Sam gets all pissed and misunderstands what I'm saying, Bob-O is all like I see your point but I don't understand. We all bicker until I have to go volunteer for the AIDS quilt. I guess they are having a meeting about redoing the ceremony today, but the only person who really had a major problem with it, ME can't attend because it's from 1-3 and I have class from 11:30-4:30 today and the one from 1-3 isn't even one I can skip.
After that things chilled out a little, I volunteered at the AIDS quilt opening ceremony and following display and it was pretty awesome. We have this choir on campus apparently, Voices of Joy, and wow. WOW. I think I want to find out if I can join because I really miss singing and they almost made me cry. Looking at the quilt panels after the ceremony almost made me cry too. The AIDS quilt is a powerful thing.
Came home and Karen and I had a crazy fiasco where we committed a federal offense. Woah, it was intense. We called her mom for advice, and laughed so much I cried. Then I actually had to do my homework. Today I'm starting off the day by volunteering at the AIDS quilt again and then classes all day. Hopefully there will be less aggravation today, but I'm pretty sure it kind of won't be with the APO meeting and Michael Moore tonight. I need to start meditating again.
