What are you thinking?

Got in a debate with a Facebook 'friend' (barely know her) about minimum wage. Here she is all "oh just work harder. I work part-time on minimum wage and I have a car and pay my own rent."

Yeah. You're 18. You work at an animal shelter answering phone calls and playing with cats. Your parents bought you the car. You live in a cheap town. If you ever had financial problems, you've got dozens of doting relatives who would help you out. I'm pretty sure they help with rent too. Call me when you're connected to reality.

You know, I'm not saying that minimum wage should be $20+. Maybe $11 or $12 an hour. But a two parent household should be able to support their families with both parents working 40+ hours a week without having to go on welfare. News flash. It's not just dumb kids on minimum wage.

 

My old job is holding casting calls in about two week, and it seriously sucks that I want to go back, but my anxiety won't allow it.

 

I swear to god, I hate seeing all this misinformation about planned parenthood going around. I don't want to start any fights over it, but gdi it's infuriating to see the blatant lies being spread

 

I can tell no one. Not when it matters most.

 

I am going to do it anyways.
Even if people think it is wrong.
I just want to be happy.
I will be selfish for once.
I cannot wait to see her!

 

I hate how they made Coach Beastie trans in Glee.
Not because I'm against trans people, but because through out the previous 5 seasons the show emphasized how Beastie felt like a girl inside, as opposed to the more masculine exterior she (well, he as of season 6) presented. This was especially emphasized in either season 2 or 3. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, in season 6 he reveals he's always felt like a man inside (which completely contradicts his whole storyline in the previous seasons).
It felt forced. I still love Coach Beastie, but the situation just feels completely out of character for him.

 

I do actually agree with that. Honestly glee has had a lot of cheesy story lines in their last seasons and it is no surprise they ended their show. The whole storyline line seemed desperate to add in a trans character for audience purposes and was really rushed but I did love that they brought in a trans storyline in spite of that. Glee became a disaster.

 

It's 5am and I'm awake. I'm wide awake I can tell I won't sleep tonight because I made plans to hang out with my friend BEFORE 6AM. What is wrong with me...

 

I am so glad summer school is almost over. I can enjo my last 2-3 weeks then start my sophmore year.

 

Ugh. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Or the next day Damn early morning shifts.

 

It'd be nice to meet in real life... I just hope that no one is dissapointed if that ever happens.

 

Can I just turn fifteen already? It's going to feel so weird being a sophomore and fourteen.

 

Work today was terrible, like things were crashing and falling apart for the third week in a row. One of the new girls that's on my team had a for real panic attack and was puking/shaking in the bathroom. It's really hard to be a leader when you are equally as flustered/nervous/unsure (what am I supposed to do with my hands?!) on the inside. But crisis averted. Yay teamwork.

 

This month passed so fast. I don't feel rested at all and I wish I had traveled. But at least I'm *finally* learning German.

 

I REALLY hate people right now

 

I can't sleep. I'm probably gonna stay up all night then go get coffee I the morning.

 

Okay so now it's not only my arm but also my stomach that hurts. Thanks alot Kris.

 

I displayed a severe fault today. When things like that happen, I always wonder what she would think if she was around to see them.

I suppose she's already kind-of seen that fault, from a distance, but still...I can't help but think that if she witnessed it directly, she would change her opinion of me.

I wish I was a better person.

 

Was looking at a job board and saw a job for Home Depot and under benefits it said: "Same-Sex Domestic Partner Benefits." WOW. Pretty nice to see that. Won't be applying to the company, but that made my day.

 

Well, Unique was already trans though...
