Today has been alright a day so far. I actualluy got out of the house to go school supply shopping. I swear, that is the only good thing about going back to school. Eight grade. Jesus. Next year I go to high school. I don't care what anyone says, I am SO not ready. Everything I hear about it just makes me MORE nervous. But this school year so far hasn't gone that great and I haven't even started school! Lorraine, Kels Kels Popo and Katie all have A-lunch and I have B-lunch! But atleast I have a class with each one of them. But then who will I talk to at lunch time. If only Abby wasn't going to Ligget this year. Carolina and her are always fighting and I'm sick and tired of trying to be neutral. And one of my other friends has just become plain weird. I don't want to say much, but I don't even want to hang out with her anymore. I'll just have to bring some of my Anne Rice books to school so no one will talk to the freaky girl who reads vampire books. I can't help it, they're SOOO good! I don't like people I don't know bugging me, so that might work out as a plan. Or I could always hang out with Megan. My dad's been bugging me to anyway. rolleyes
Let me just say there is only 1 thing I'm looking forward to about school: NO MORE BABYSITTING JACKIE! GOD! That kid pushes my buttons every thirty seconds! But it does pay good money, so I couldn't refuse. My dad cut cable and I discovered that the non-cable shows are just as bad or worse than cable shows. All day all we watch is Jerry Springer, The peoples court or Eye for an Eye. The eye for an eye isn't so bad, but yesterday's I saw was pure trash! It was about a girl in a sorority who wanted to reform the sorority by becoming its president or quit and get a refund. The girls were such whores and bitches to her anyway. They put a sausage in her bed with a note that said "loosen up!". How rude is that?!
A trip to meijer today just made me lose my faith in a polite society again when I saw shirts for LITTLE GIRLS that said things that promoted unappropriate things and whorish sayings too vulgar to list in my journal (that and I can't remember them all xd ). This society has lost almost all means of etiquette. Its a tradgedy we have lost so many rules to the social codes as our country progresses. You think that as we as a race evolve, so would our etiquette. Not so. People think somethings are freedom of speech, but rude vulgar and racist things should not protected under our constitution. Yes I have seen racist things on shirts. Too many people jump the conclusion that racisism is against black or african american people. Not so. Life isn't just black and white. Cracker=Racist; Beaner=Racist; N-word=Racist; Red-Skin (although the term is almopst never used anymore)=Racist and Wong=Racist.
Here is the definition for racism as listed on dictionary.com
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
That means that a shirt that says: "2 wongs don't make a white" is racist (wongs referring to people of Asian descent). That means a shirt that says: "Once you go black, you never go back" is racist in the sense that making the point that the African-American or Negroid race is superior to others. Shirts that seem harmless can be racist, so watch out what kind of shirts you wear so you don't get labeled as a racist. Even if you are one, you don't need to display on your shirt.
