I feel decidedly "off" today. Like.. this morning was all sorts of annoying and then at work I just felt weak and dehydrated. And it's my mom's day-off today so I haven't been able to get anything done because I keep getting called away to vacuum random parts of the house, or carry things around. And now it's nearly 6 so I've given up on y'know.. stuff.
I was reading the newspaper today. They were doing a report on the girl who was shot yesterday at Wesleyan (=\ may she rest in peace). I was.. very disturbed by it though. They had one article about.. y'know.. the situation.. and then a whole article talking about her and the CONTENTS OF HER LIVEJOURNAL. Complete with a picture of it, talking about the things she complained about it.. and excerpts. And I was floored because.. well.. if anything were to happen to me, the last thing I would want is to have the contents of my journal published in the local paper. They didn't give her username, but with the images and quotes.. it would be easy enough to find.
So... not entirely sure what to think about it really. I mean, yes if it is posted outside of a f-lock, it is free for all of the internets to access. But it seems little wrong to use that stuff to report on later. Like.. what point is there to publish comments on how she was upset she got a B in one of her classes one semester?
Anyway... I have to go.. vaccum the stairs or something. -_-;;
