Some thoughts:
"He was a man who liked to have a good laugh, but it was almost always at the expense of someone else. I did not miss his presence." -Amanda, Femmeproject. I don't want this to be me. I worry about it sometimes.
"we can never leave ourselves." -Jill, Femmeproject. So many things have been written about his idea, yet it is fresh almost every time. A sobering thought. Particularly striking with the story it ends.
"If you'd had one, you'd know." -Jenn All teasing aside, this doesn't seem to be meant as a challenge or put down. It takes some of that character on though, even if it's probably not even meant for me only. I've not had one I don't think, no. But I'm glad you did.

In other news, the island was nice, but a lot of walking. Missed some good stuff though, so need to hit it again.
I wonder if I was ever as bad as the greasy punks who wander into the restaurant from time to time. i don't think so; I don't like to think so. It is possible I suppose. I would feel older than I do for looking down on them if I thought I had been like that. I suppose looking down isn't nice either, but I'm being honest about my feelings here. I find them a bit repulsive.
This isn't every teenager/high schooler by any means. There are those that just irritate me, though.
The email from before was appreciated, so thanks for the followup call that never was. Grr to you. I do hope there aren't larger things I need to deal with here.
Waters have receded for the most part [but are probably gathering into lakes and such still]. We did run into ten minutes or so of rain though; tradition, I suppose.
Emails aplenty in the morn. Cleaning perhaps. Short hours and the general manager is back.
Our water is finally back to normal, so we can use more than one thing at a time. About time, but understandable for taking awhile, sine my dad is doing a bazillion things. I guess he/they gave in and called a professional, though. ["You're a professional?!" Tenor still makes me laugh,]
I'm not afraid to be alone, but t feels like it will happen sometimes, which is kind of a sad thought.
My sister got a new kitten for us today. She named him Ramses.
Melodrama [as theater art form] isn't all bad. It just has bad overacting and shoddy associations now, but that's not what it actually means or has to mean. Star Wars is melodrama at heart, after all, and people seem to rather like those movies. [It has a few twists to the basic form, but still.]
You have to save yourself.
