hold you're head high heavy heart
Thurday- I don’t remember much. But in fifth hour we went on a hike through the woods. And we didn’t go on the path. Of course. So the guy that I think is super cute came infront of me and broke a branch and was like, there you go. Mmmm ecology romance. Hahahah im funny. Oh later on I went to kylees and we watched movies because nobody invited us to the hampsons. Oh and we didn’t cry.
Friday- Rachels party. We went in the limo and picked everybody up. And went to the restaurant and waited while she got everybody else. Pretty much just talked to maddy. And jordan. And yelled at tim to stop spitting things at me. Well anyway the funniest part is when we went in the room and it said happy birthday jackie everywhere. So richie and I went to rachels parents and they asked the people working there who told us jackie was the name of our server. So we go in the room and everybody was like are we in the wrong room and richie says no. he said rachel is changing her name to jackie. And nobody believed us so then I started saying how instead of presents, rachel always like the name jackie so her parents were spending lots and lots of $$$$$ to get her name changed. Then everybody was like omg I called her rachel in the limo. And we said it was fine but they better not call her rachel from now on or she will get really upset. Then everybody was like ahh why would she do that and finally everybody started taking out their birthday cards to change the name and then tim caught me laughing and realized that me and richie were lying. We’re pretty sweet. Then everybody came and we ate went back in the limo to rachels house. Boys went swimming girls watched a movie. Then it was over and me amanda richie tim jordan and jay walked back to my house because I had to take them all home. Where jordan just said I was wasting gas and tim was like wow you’re a good driver even though I went over the curb like twice. Then they were just talking about rpms for like the whole time. Then I went home and went to sleep.
The rest of the weekend was in Kentucky. And I actually liked it. We played ddr 24/7 and watched a bunch of movies. (harriet the spy, d3 mighty ducks, cheaper by the dozen, space balls, coach carter, Friday night lights, princess diaries) played intense games of football and basketball. It use to suck being the only girl but I like it more now. And me and my cousin Michael who is like 6 months younger than me just would sit online at like 4 in the morning and watch videos on line. No pornos sorry. I was upset to leave but I wanted to come home to go to school tomorrow.
I like school soo much this year. I don’t see rachel as much as last year but I see her at lunch. And before and after school and between 1st 2nd and 3rd hour. My best friend since I was born is in my 3rd hour. We even sit in aphabetical order and still sit next to eachother. Although the past few years we drifted apart, I’m glad I have a class with her because next year she’ll be in college. My 2nd hour has the guy I liked over the summer in it. And I’m friends with almost everybody in that class. My 4th hour is boring but me and jaci just talk a lot. My 5th hour is amazing. Not to mention there is only 3 other girls and the rest are senior guys. REALLY REALLY CUTE senior guys. Like sean. Mmm. And the class is a lot of fun. Teacher is great. 6th hour we talk abou whats been going in the news. And we get in groups. And me and jordan get stuck with annoying girls because we don’t talk to anybody else in that class.
On a meaner note:
I decided against going to the death cab mae and fall out boy concerts in the next few months. Instead on Friday I donated $75 (which is pretty much all I have) to victims of the hurricane. It’s not much but if everybody donated it would really make a difference. It really makes me mad how people have been handling it, and how much credit they are getting. There are 1000’s of people homeless, and even more without power. And it’s going to be that way for the next few months. President Bush really should be approaching this in a different manor. When we went into World War 2 it was literally like one day Ford Companies were making cars, and the next they were making airplanes. Because that is what they were assigned too do. It should be like that now but under different circumstances. Like the companies the produce spring water, porter poties,soap, medicine, etc should be sending all their supplies down south instead of shipping them into stores. Although that will never happen with our president, it’s an idea.
It’s amazing how we got 100’s of reporters down there in hours but were still waiting on the National Guard. I’m not sure exactly how to start right now, but helping those homeless, and getting the dead out of the water should be a start. If the things that are dead (animals, humans) stay in the water soon disease is going to spread. Same thing as all the people in the dome in texas. Which if you haven’t heard everybody who was in the flooded dome in new orleans was moved there. if you know your geography texas is far away from new orleans. Want to know why they went to texas then? Because all the other covered domes nearby have college football games going on. Go figure. Actually I’m not sure if that is exactly why but there is no really any other reason.
Also something that makes me mad is how everybody is complaining about gas prices, because that’s the only way this hurricane effects us directly. Even though my friends who don’t have jobs, get their money from their parents for gas anyway, and if their parents won’t give them more money they can stop driving around so much. And if you’re parents don’t give you money find a job. No matter how busy you say you are…you aren’t as busy as you say. It’s selfish if you’re saying now I have to pay $3 per a gallon where 1000’s and 1000’s of people lost everything they have had, including lives. They have a huge mess on their hands. They are still getting billed for things they don’t owe. They most likely have no money, only of that in the banks which were also washed out, no place to stay, no way to get a hold of people, to tell them they are alive. There isn’t really much to hope for. And those that didn’t get hit by the hurricane will have their power out for months. I hated it when we have our power out for a few hours. Imagine putting your life on hold for ½ a year, at the least.
I went to New Orleans once when I was young. It was really pretty. Of course then I didn’t know it was under sea level and blah blah blah. Personally I think rebuilding isn’t a smart idea. Rebuilding in a state nearby where there is plenty of land would be better. Because maybe not in my life time, but this will certainly happen again.
If you read that I’m glad.
And I would really like to you know your opinion on this situation.
Argue with me, or agree. I just want to know.
