Some stuff
*Today in my Psych class we started human development. Obviously, we started with prenatal development, so we were talking a lot about pregnant women and taking care of yourself when you're preggers and what the baby's going through at different times. All I could think about was my best friend's recent abortion. She was six weeks pregnant, so it was early enough to take the pill. She'd had a pregnancy scare this past June, so she'd spent a lot of time thinking about what she was going to do since then. (My thoughts on this will sound rather disjointed; please forgive me.) I made a big deal of it because it seemed like such a hasty decision to me and mostly because I didn't want her to do something for which she'd hate herself for the rest of her life... but today, it just kept hitting me that that really was a child. Admittedly, it was an embryo, but it was something that could have been a human being. I am NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES saying that "she's a murderer" or "she killed her baby" or "she was wrong", so please don't misunderstand me. All I'm saying is, when you think about it hard enough, my best friend had a baby. And that... that just throws me for one helluva loop.
*http://www.petitiononline.com/hallemhe/petition.html Go sign it. Christina Hall could really use it after everything she's been through - IRL and in fandom (ref. Charitywank). Even if it doesn't achieve what it's going for, it's good for her to know that so many people are behind her.
*Today has been exhausting. This is the first time I've actually been able to relax all day. I've either been at class, out with people, or doing community service, and I'm wiped. Tomorrow is going to be a lot easier, plus there's a Halloween party at Alicia and G's place. I'll post pictures later, along with the ones from my weekend with Bridget.
*I know I haven't been using this as much as I'd like, but hopefully that'll change now. It's a nice place to come to, especially when it's only open to the people I know on Facebook rather than my Myspace (because for some reason I don't want the people from my Myspace drifting over here... it would kill the atmosphere of the journal, I dunno, something like that). I feel so weird because I'm the only person I know with a Livejournal who actively uses it. =S
That's all for tonight. Ciao, dahlings. *blows kisses*
