What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[SamuraiMegas]

I've had quite the day. There's a group of kids that have a petition against the Anti-Bullying program due to the fact it doesn't help and causes more problems. I'm a part f said group and today was my day with the petitio. I brought it to lunch and the prncipal saw it. He put me in front of all of A Lunch saying that everyone who signed the petition should know what they were getting into and such. I stood next to him, worried at first, and thought, f*** it, he's not getting to me. I smiled and stood there throughout his speach and at the end of it which was the end of lunch, I got more signatures because of him.

Get a job. Save money to get a car. Be a responsible person. Period.

Repo man how old are you? You want to blame your mom for not believing in you as to why you fail at things. Did you ever consider she is trying to be realistic with you if you are unable to keep your bank account in good standing. Cause your always on here complaining about your finances , what makes you think you could survive in new york on your own with out having to sell your body on a street corner to live.

Heh, I remember being suprised at fees for checking my balance at ATMs that aren't theirs. Of course, that was because they didn't start doing that until after I'd banked there for a while, but eh. I pretty much only check my balance online now, and do my best to keep up with it.

What exactly is this anti-bullying program and how is it not helping? Genuine question.

I know that anti-bullying PSAs have been popping up a lot over the past few years, and it's honestly nice to see something being done about it, but I also know that public school systems have a tendency to go about these sorts of things in completely wrong ways (see "Zero Tolerance" policies in an attempt to reduce school fights, etc.)

The program segregates us, if you have a blue lanyard you are known as a bad kid, even if you didn't sign for the grey one because you don't support the way it's handled. If you have a grey one, you are known as normal and good.
Today, the principal showed his true hipocracy because he said that if we students want the program to change, it will change. Many kids have brough up ways to truly improve it but he would change the subject and argue if you tried to suggest things. Now that we ave a petition to show we support changing it, he singles me out and attempts to embaress me in front of a entire lunch. That's bullying right there. He does things like that alot.

Wait, so basically they give the bullies colored lanyards? Most of the bullies I knew at school would wear something like that as a badge of honor. I don't think that'd discourage anything.

My dad still drops hints that I should move back home. I'm only one state over, and I didn't get to know him until I was 14/15. It's annoying sometimes, but hey, at least i know he cares. He often tells me that he's proud that I'm (semi)successful and being more responsible than he was, so I guess that kind of makes up for it. I should really call him...


Last day of work, and it's been a good one. Lots of great jokes going around the chat-rooms at work tonight, and I'm not doing as bad as I normally do.

EDIT:
Spoke too soon... Just got handed a stack of email issues. I suck at troubleshooting email. FML


PT Cruiser is doing great, but definitely needs more work.


Haven't felt money woes like this since we moved here. Always seems like I end up spending all the "extra" money I get. Anytime a little cash rolls this way, something blows up.

I would be happy to live in a city at all so I could use public transit and not have to rely on others all the time. Charleston, SC would be my top choice, but anywhere would be better than where I am now.

Wow, I've lived here for four years and I didn't even know we had public transportation.

So on Spring Break, I used my Easter money to buy a Japanese copy of Fighters Megamix. Unfortunately, there happened to be an international shipping mess up, and it was stuck at the Post Office. My mom picked it up Tuesday, but got home late so I couldn't play it. I did go through arcade mode yesterday, but had to go to bed right before I could finish it. Hopefully school will fly by today and then I can play it. Anyways, I hope that shipping mess up was a one time thing. A lot of the stuff that I like, toys and video games, come from Japan, so I'm kind of worried.

Frown: A woodpecker confused vinyl siding for a tree.

This happened to our house. We have wood shingles, and a woodpecker absolutely laid into them a few years ago. We thought we could scare it off by placing one of those plastic owls by our house, but (to taunt us, I suppose) the woodpecker pecked three holes in the plastic owl. (I guess he wasn't too scared of it...) After that, however, he - thankfully - never came back.
