Yes it's been a couple of weeks I think. Not sure how long exactly it's been but I never do stray far from my journal. I had to get offline for a little while because my sister and I managed to go over the 5 Gig bandwidth...don't ask me how, but we did. It seems like the only time I sleep are on my days off. Yet I'm always yawning, whether I get good sleep or not. I find this very frustrating and unexplainable. So far nothing has changed dramatically. I'm still living here with my parents, still working close to 40 hours a week, and I'm still writing poetry. I've also been trying to get back on track with writing my book. It's funny because I wanted the internet while I was writing it so that I could do research for it, and then once I get the internet, I stop writing it. I've done some research...but not that much. I hope I'm not losing interest in this because I truely do believe that it will be a great book. If not for anyone else then for me to read it over and over again and smile at my accomplishment. That's my goal in life, to publish at least one book/series.I've been getting caught up on bills. My car payments are finally caught up anyways. I just need to pay off my old cell phone bill and then get a new one started if I feel like it. I don't really miss my phone. I miss texting but now that I have the internet I can do that anyways. I've even stopped reading for the moment. What the hell is wrong with me? Alright I think for the next few months when I'm not at work, I'll try to avoid the internet. I'll read, write, work on jigsaw puzzles, work on christmas presents...etc. I'm wiccan so I don't technically celebrate christmas...but my family does so I go along with them on it. I don't go to the church or anything though, no thank you. I just had a brain freeze, not sure what else I was going to write about...I'm sure I'll think of it eventually though.
Obama Won! I wasn't sure who I wanted to win at first. I didn't really like McCain or his pick for Vice President. She seemed nice enough but her perspective on abortion really bothered me. I mean I don't think that people should get abortions just because they fucked up and had sex without protection and for their own selfish reasons, but at the same time if they are that selfish then they should have an abortion because the baby doesn't deserve to grow up being hated and hurt. Also if a woman was raped, and became pregnant because of it, she should have the choise to abort because that child would do nothing more but remind her of the terrible thing that guy did to her. Of course there is always giving the baby up for adoption, but there are so many kids out there who grow up never being adopted, moving from foster home to foster home, never being showed anything more then manners and pity. It just makes me sick thinking about the kids that go their whole lives without knowing their parents, without being loved by someone and having someone to look up to and spend time with.
Also what if the mother has medical problems and carrying the baby will kill her or the baby anyways? Abortion should be allowed based on the situation. You can't take away womens rights, anyones rights...
So needless to say I was content with Obama winning. I agreed with a lot of his politcal stances. I've been reading quite a few entries about him and people are always saying "he's the first black president, that is awesome" which I agree...it is awesome it shows how far our country has come since we were almost torn into two during the civil war. Yesterday was a very historical day. However we shouldn't be celebrating that a black man is going to be president, we should be celebrating what he represents, not who he represents. We should be celebrating the change that he has promised us as America, and we should be making sure he owns up to that change. The four years have not even started yet...so who knows what will happen. He has a lot to prove, the journey towards change has just begun.
Now I'm not saying any of this because I didn't want him to win. I would have voted for him if I had the chance to but with working and all I never got the chance to make it to the polls before they closed. Just celebrate the fact that another "Bush" isn't in office yet again. After all McCain was pretty buddy buddy with Bush and voted with him on many things that shouldn't have been passed.
Well I still can't think of what else I was going to write about. But I do recall something else that I hadn't planned on saying but now I will. Happy belated Halloween to all, and Happy Samhain to my fellow Wiccans/Pagans. Samhain doesn't officially end till the 11th of this month. I dressed up for Halloween. I dressed up as a Medieval Lady. I didn't take pictures, I hate pictures, but perhaps someday I'll dress in my costume again and take a pic just to show everyone. I ended up taking most of my costume off because I was at work. The wig kept getting caught in the register and on racks of clothing. Plus it was wayyyy too hot. So I took that off after about an hour and half at work. Then I took the cape off a little while later because I was still too hot. As soon as I got home I stripped and got into pajamas and was thankful that my body was able to finally breathe. Oh well. I guess that's all for now.
