That is an original Michelle quote.




I know it's a typical high school girl thing to say, but;;
Guys suck.
=[

So, first day of my sophomore year...
It was okay.
I like my classes well enough so this year shouldn't  be too horrible.

If you're wondering what they are;;
Acc Algebra II H
World Civ H
Humanities
Journalism I
English II H
Band
Spanish I
Biology

That's both semesters' classes, btw.
Yeah. I'm a smart kid..

But anywho.
This is pretty much my first year in "the big school."
It's not as terrible as they tell you.

She is;;

That kid who can ride the carousel and teacups for days and days.
Who still listens to Disney songs and knows the movies by heart.
Who dances in the car... And everywhere else.
Who isn't happy just because. She doesn't give out laughs for nothing, they're earned.
Who doesn't know what she wants, but knows what she needs.
Who finds humour at the most random moments.
Who keeps life fresh.
Who makes up silly words.
And makes no sense when she is tired.
Who is not afraid to admit to her flaws.
And does things that may be considered odd or awkward.
Who loves to write.
And lives to read.
Who has big dreams.
And knows who she will never be.
Who can keep secrets.
And friends.
Who knows what's good for her.
Who finds happiness in the little things.
Who could give a look that would freeze a hot pocket.  A very hot hot pocket.
Who adores vintage.
And breathes music.
Who is generally impatient.
But knows how to control herself.
Who is on her own level of uniqueness.
And knows she's bright.
Who is a basementdellah.
And loves her friends.
Who is always looking for inspiration.
And finds her faith in other places.
Who has a voice.
And likes to think.
Who can form her own educated opinion.
One that doesn't change with the days.
Who watches the news.
And reads the newspaper.
Who doesn't get homesick, but quite the opposite.
Who can't sing to save her life.
But rocks at SingStar.
Who can hurt herself on virtually anything.

But mostly, she is just a girl, trying to find herself.

My first Warped and I'm pretty stoked.

Something I just started thinking about is banned books.
It makes me so... I can't even think of an adjective that describes how angry it makes me.
Not just banned books in the sense that schools don't allow them and whatnot, but that parents restrict their children's reading.
I mean, of course it's their responsibility as parents to monitor their kids' world.  But it comes to a point where you just have to ask what is going on.

Like Harry Potter.
Hardcore Christians, for the most part, think that it's this horrible book because it uses witchcraft.  Witchcraft is not the main idea of the story.  The main idea is that there are people who aim above good.  They're just kids trying to save the world.  
Recently, browsing Yahoo! Answers, I came across a question concerning this.  People were saying that it must be bad.  It portrays some people as "demonic" and whatnot.
Who are we to say what looks demonic?  Lucifer was an angel, was he not? Glorious and beautiful as angels are portrayed, but evil just the same.  The grotesqueness of characters like Voldemort is just an accentuation of their evilness.

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe brought controversy until everyone found out that the book was actually based on Jesus.
-gasp-
I love how people's perceptions of things change as soon as they find out one little detail.
Kind of proves how stupid we are as a society.

Anyway, I got off track.
Books like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Animal Farm, Huck Finn, The Catcher In The Rye, Freedom Writers Diary, The Giver, The Grapes Of Wrath, The Lorax, and Farhenheit 451 have all been banned and the reasonings are stupid, in my opinion.
Alice in Wonderland;; Banned in China because it put talking animals on the same level as humans
Animal Farm;; Banned in some of Europe for it's "anti-Stalin" theme.  Look what happened to him...
Huck Finn;; It had a "racist tone" Which was kind of the point of the book, ya know?  Showing how life actually was.
The Catcher In The Rye;; Some sexual content and some actions of the character being "inappropriate"
Freedom Writers Diary;; Sexual content and racist slurs.  I find that interesting since the book is a true story about kids overcoming that. How inappropriate.
The Giver;; It addresses controversial subjects such as euthenasia.  What a shame the main character decided that that was all bad and tried to get away from it.
The Grapes Of Wrath;; It put the people of California in a bad light.  As if that's a big change. No offense.
The Lorax;; This one's pretty great.  It was banned for 'political commentary'.  Better get rid of those recycle bins, guys.  They may arrest you. If you've read The Lorax, you know what I'm talking about.
Farhenheit 451;; This book was banned for the use of the words "God damn". I find it kind of funny because the book is about censorship for fear of people becoming too individualized and independant.

Anywho.
Thoughts?

So.
On the news, they are talking about some woman who reported her 2yr old daughter missing after 31 days.
I don't know all the details, and I don't want to.
It seems to me that if your daughter is missing for that long without you doing anything, you are either guilty of something or on some hardcore drugs.
Thus making you completely unfit to be a mother.
Which, she may not be any more.
There is evidentally evidence suggesting she killed her daughter [gasp!].

I'm sorry, but people who can do things like this make me sick.




Something else that has bothered me recently is people suing people for everything.
Particularly that kid who got decapitated at Six Flags over Georgia or whatever it was.  
Now, when the girl lost her feet at Six Flags over Kentucky/Louisville [?], she had a legitimate reason to sue.  That ride was obviously not being maintained well or something.  
It was a freak accident in relation to her.  She didn't do anything to trigger her loss of limb.
This kid, however, knowingly jumped like two fences that clearly warned of danger. 
Just because he wanted to get on the ride faster or something.
And people are ferserious suing the park for this kid's poor judgment and his parents' lack of guidance? 
Talk about a joke.



Darwin strikes again.

Things I would like to do before I die.
This should tell you a lot about me.



I haven't gotten very far.
