Hope you have a great day.
Misty spend the whole night sleeping on my bed with me. For once she didn't get up until my parents got up. =o)
I really don't feel like studying. It's like every year I have less and less concentration and motivation.
Had a weird ass dream. They were trying to steal my CD/mp3 player. And Marianne and her mom were there. Her mom was being obnoxious, like that's something new.
Ow yeah, need to install my new anti-virus scanner today.
But first: wash and study.

Livejournal. Not a word breathed.
9/11. The whole world upside down.
India, a couple of years ago. Millions drown in flood.
World. Not a word breathed.
And don't say that's because the one was an act of terror and the other are natural causes. Because I bet that if that earthquake happened in Europe or the US, you would have heard from it all over the place.
Oh, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone because I'd be pointing at myself too. It just struck me how little we care as soon as it's out of our backyard. How we shrug it off and only respond when suddenly our save little world is threatened. We feel so secure in our every day life that we forget with how few we are compared to those who live in fear of war, hunger or whatever your mind can come up with.
I'm far from a world changer. I'm far from being on the trenches and trying to change anything. But sometimes, things like this make me stop in my tracks and try to grasp hold of what is going on. Then I tell myself there's little I can do and I go back to whatever fandom I was squeeing over.
