i want to print a picture right now :(
what a drerey day. i dislike cold & rain together. unless i'm home and snuggled in bed, then it's okay. for awhile.
I have some exciting news to share. Well exciting for my family atleast. Today my mom (along with the rest of her co-workers) received a plastic container filled with $1 coins and do you know how many of them were in this small box? Enough to make $200. That's right, my mom was given a free amount of $200 (isn't that kind of like an oxymoron). It's almost like...a blessing (even if i'm not that religious) because there's half of my trip to Atlanta paid off. I told her she should have stole someone else's container of $200 but, I guess that's mean..?
In other news. Today was a rough day. With the election and all. I'm disappointed but I knew there was no way around Bush winning even as hopeful as Kerry supporters were. I don't have much to say on the subject because I wasn't a strong supporter of either. I'm very open-minded and so because of that I'm gullible to believe just about any info you tell me on either one if you can back it up, so my opinions constantly change on both. That's why I never argue opposing views on politics because I don't know what to believe these days.
> Although - Read wendy_ish's view about our current situation. I liked what she had to say :)
Today I visited 2 very different places. The first was a Center for inner city kids to come and be involved in activites they would other wise not be able to experience. It was really warming to just sit and talk to these young girls. We were there to talk to them about helping fund a dance program for them and one of them said, in a quiet and sincere voice, something along the lines of "I'm really excited because I'll be able to show everyone I can dance because everyone thinks I'm really shy". That kept replaying in my head over and over again because it reminded me so much of myself when I was little.
The second place we visited was a small home refuge for pregnant girls who've been kicked out of their home. They were so nice and it felt so good to make them laugh. I'm sure they laugh all the time but I just feel sympathetic for the situation they have to go through. One of them just had her baby yesterday and the other today. Another girl was only a Freshman! I couldn't believe it. It's harsh world out there my friends.
My mom recommended me to read this book called "The Power of Now" because I'm always so caught up in the past and future but never the present. All I think about is my future and what I'm going to do and how afraid that things won't work out. Or I think about the past and all the amazing times I've had, etc. It's definitely stressful on life and I know plently of you go through the same thing, especially in high school.
Random Question: Why are both of my cats obsessed with drinking my night time water the next morning next to my bed? They always wake me up slurping it up like it's the Fountain of Youth. They have their own water >=(
Random Rant: I'm so sick of some people and their sheer...ignorance. It drives me insane. Common sense is such a rare trait these days. It surprises me how few people truly possess that. Stop the Stupid. That's my new campaign. Learn to be a little more observant people, it pays off big time in the end.
