I got my car back today... I absolutely love the pasta, it's wonderful. But I'm just not sure that it's worth the feeling of being able to see over everyone's head in traffic, or the kick-ass sound system even when I play my Zen. Just not sure about that.
My mom bought me this gorgeous easter lily, which, though I love it, unfortunately takes up a LOT of room in my room. And now I have no room for anything else, because my spider plant is using it. So... I moved my little plant holder bookcase but now my spider is in hte middle of the floor because it doesn't fit in it's spot, because the bookcase is there.
And now, because I somehow ended up in some kind of "Fuck off!" fight with Josh, I feel like asking someone to borrow a drill for literally, a 30-second job, is utterly too much to ask. *Blink*
On the upside, Andrew gave me my first birthday gift today! It's a t-shirt from one of his friend's bands, that I really really liked. So I'm all excited! Thank you darling!! You are the absolute best! When is your birthday, because I will definitely be like... WHOA! on it! heheh
hehe This week is going to be good. Damned good, I hope. I have Coffee and Gossip tomorrow, then Catch. And my BIRTHDAY!!! (I even have the birthday crown... *le gasp!*)To say the absolute LEAST! YAYA!!
Then on Thursday, I'm playing in my first intramural league softball game (OMG.. .I'm going to suck like whoa!) and I think me and Carly and Beth are going dancing that night! Sweeeeeeet! Then Friday I head home to kick back, relax, watch the Scream Family scream and... make a campfire and play video games with my best bro, best friend, and favorite brat. hehe It's gonna be great.
I'm tired. This is making me less happy than usual. I hate being tired. Lol I think tomorrow might be skirt weather... How exciting!! hehe Except for the fact that I'm playing catch... That calls for jeans.
Hmm...
I'm really proud of Botswana and their AIDS program. The fact that the government stepped in and mandated AIDS testing to reduce the stigma and make sure the individuals got treatment is astounding, not to mention incredibly awesome. It's really hard to think of the potential implications of a country that literally gets thrown off the map because a disease wipes out 40+% of their population. It is mind-boggling to think of the people out there who spend their lives battling and combating these diseases just because they want to help people. Not for money, fame, or power, but just because they empahtize with, and care about, the affected people. Amazing. I think that every one of them should get some kind of honorary Mother Theresa award, because they are the minority and maybe the greatest example of human selflessness out there at the moment- though I'm sure that there could be greater, I am simply ignorant of their existence. I just... wanted to get that out there.
Wouldn't it be incredible to go someplace that desperately needs you, put your life on the line, and save lives? I guess that's the textbook definition of a soldier, really... though they have to take lives, they are taking them to save others. I wish we could skip step one and go straight to two.
Medicine and war. So different and yet... so much alike. Yin and Yang?
