(5:01 am - 11.08.2002 - friday: a reason to write - i feel  ) i know after losing entries before, i decided that i'd always type new entries in word. well, why didn't i do that?? of course, i just lost a completed entry. grr. sometimes things just ain't fair. and when i use words like "ain't" of course, i don't really use them, just making fun. ok, just now, i went to go get the html for the friday five icon, and i deleted it instead. god. i'm such an idiot! anyhow.... on to the freaking  1. did you vote in your last elections? yep. yep i did. why not vote? people can give you that story about "why should i vote, my one vote doesn't make a difference" but, if you don't vote, then you're just letting someone else decide for you. you shouldn't have the priviledge of complaining about the government if you don't vote. people should realize just how lucky we are that americans can vote. 2. do you know who your elected representatives are? i know everytime i hear mark schweiker, i think of a nick jr. show, dora the explorer, specifically the character "swiper". it's painfully obvious that i don't pay too much attention to politics and the government in general. but i do know most of the national government officals. and the name "dick armey" is always good for a laugh. 3. have you ever contacted an elected representative? if so, what was it about? i think in elementary school we had to write to the senator, or some other person. schools have to be a powerful source in affection young impressionable minds. 4. have you ever participated in a demonstration? actually, i have. when our 8th grade class took a trip to dc, somehow a group of us got to march in a n.o.w. demonstration. i think i still have the sign too. when we were walking around all the important buildings in dc, filming for forrest gump had just ended, so there were pieces of the set all around too. just a side note. 5. have you ever volunteered in an election? what was the result? nope. that's not my cup of tea. but if someone else is interested in that, more power to them! this entry was made out of anger! grr. hopefully i won't lose an entire entry again anytime soon. don't you just hate when that happens? anyhow.... i did call off work tonite, for no reason whatsoever! i slept so well too. i went to bed around noon. i even missed a call from my mom around 2. i didn't even hear the phone ring! i woke up around 6 and decided it was too early to call work, and fell back asleep. woke back up around 7:30 (my usual call off time, weird) and called off. then i went back to sleep! i slept until midnite when mark called. i hardly ever sleep that well. i'm always waking up every hour or so. i just spent 2 hours scouring the internet for papa's dojo, the independant release from vent (audiovent). i really hope someone will let me buy their copy. sigh. i tried getting it off of ebay. i bet up to $35, but, eh. then i'd have to get it overnighted to me, and that will jack up the price to like $70. that's insane. we'll see. i won that contest that i entered. of course i did. i knew i would. heh. now i just need to get my prize! i think my computer is jacked. something is wrong with my z key. it wouldn't make all that much of a difference, but my name is liz for crying out loud. i use the z all the time! it's like a utility key now. weird stuff. i had this fucked up dream about mom. i'm not even going into details. and with that, there's nothing else to say. ya'll remember this song? all i wanna do is to thank you-even though i don't know who you are-you let me change lanes-while i was driving in my car ~*~liz << - >> if you really loved me, you'd buy me presents |
