So I hear it's Friday. My parents are going out, my friends probably have great plans. Me? I'm not doing jack.
Okay, so, here's what I have for your pickings...
Cyanide and Happiness:

240Being a teen, weekend plans are relatively important, no? Generally, the only time to have a relaxing weekend and look good about it is after a drama filled week or having many busy weekends before and after. I have no such luck. Upon attempting to liven things up a bit with suggestions from Wikihow (the instructor of my life), I found... nothing. Except
How To Enjoy A Relaxing Weekend. Which doesn't really apply. Hope it helps someone else out.
Which leads me to the list.
This is my attempt at making it look as though you're doing something on the weekends, when you're not. Call me deceptive.
Do some hardcore school/work work (that was repetitive), because that means less work later...sometimes.
- Clean the house like a maniac.
- Pamper.
- Read.
- Write. Doodle. Something.
The entire point of this list is to provide something for one to amuse oneself with, and kill some time. At least pretend to enjoy the monotony.
And if all else fails, blog about it. Because it's fun to think some stranger actually gives a shit. Woo!
On an entirely different, and particularly depressing note: a man walked into the American Civic Association in Binghamton, NY (I assume a few miles from a school I previously attended) with a gun. He killed 13 people, including himself. I also found out that someone in my school district had talked about bringing a gun to school and killing people. Mind you, I am home schooled, so this isn't quite as nerve wracking for me as it would be if I were actually attending the school. But anyway, my first reaction to things like this are this subtle urge to burst into tears for the shooters. Yeah, I know, right? It's weird. But in some way, I think I relate to them...more than I would like to. I'm relatively certain this is just one more reason I want to major in Psychology: I get people. I've been there. I've wanted to do crazy things on impulse, which would have ended terribly for myself and the people surrounding me.
I realize that there are dead people who were Innocent and all, but I literally ache when I think about the shooters. I guess someone has to care about the bad guys, right?
What are we coming to?
Once again, I want to mention an organization I've fallen madly in love with: To Write Love On Her Arms.
There's a big story that I've got linked from another post, and no one reads this anyway, so I won't throw it out there again. I bring to your attention, dear void, that there's a lot of pain in this ridiculous world. I could go on forever. I think the reason I hurt for the shooters, bad dudes, etc., is because there's a degree of pain visible. And I've experienced and seen that pain before.
