So this kind of ridiculous girl sat with us at dinner tonight. She's a friend of one of the girls in the house and she lives in King over in the quad and she can freakin' stay there because her Republican ass was saying some stupid shit and I really didn't have the energy to argue. But damn, when someone asks you in all seriousness if you're "proud to be an American" and seems surprised and dissappointed when you say "No," then that person is, well, I don't even know. She just doesn't get it and really believes we're spreading freedom and U.S. foreign policy stands for women's rights and shit. I just don't know where to start with those people. You can't start at the beginning, really.
Everyone's entitled to her opinion and blah, blah, but first get your facts straight. If you can honestly look at U.S. history and current foreign policy and all the shit that's just true and really think that's okay . . . well, you suck. I don't know. I'm angry. At things in general.
Oh, but then I looked her up on the Facebook and she totally wrote this article in The Sophian a while back that we were all cracking up over because of its sheer crapiness. She also lists her first interest as Christainity, so that's kind of a red flag in my book. But the kicker is she's a STRIDE scholar, like me, and we both work for the paper, but I never met her before tonight, and she's probably not a bad person, but I can't like her, not really, and that's my fault, not hers . . . and I don't really know where I'm going with this. I'm in a rambling mood.
I have to finish writing this thing in French, and it's almost done, but I just can't quite get out those last few sentences.
