Yay, it's my real birthday and I voted to fund education
The only one who wished me happy birthday w/o some kind of reminder or prompt was the lady who accepted my voting application today.
Getting older is kind of a lonely process. Perhaps Misa's recent passing and Samhain made the reality closer for me. I am not afraid of death, but of becoming helpless and weak. I hope I die at age 50 as did my mother and father although not die the same way--due to cancer or suicide respectively. Die young and leave a beautiful corpse.
I am glad that I have been able to get some friends together to celebrate my birthday tomorrow, otherwise, my birthdays have been even more depressing when I do nothing to recognize the passing of time and another milestone.
On a side note... it was so weird to me to see signs around town urging people to vote no on the millage b/c it was supporting "irresponsible school spending". The state is cutting funds for districts ... and kids keep needing more textbooks, building, equipment and other resources. Yeah, sure, we don't need to waste money on education--right. Those kids are freeloaders just like my cats. I keep yelling at them to get out and get jobs... damn cats.
Seriously, I just wish that my funds would go to real public schools and not those craptacular charter schools, especially the ones that are for profit and cut bussing and book money for fucking greed.
