| "My name's Thom Yorke, I'm in a band called Radiohead. I don't know if anybody's heard of me. We feel strongly about this. I've spent a lot of time in America recently and I went to two demos in America, one in LA and one in San Francisco, and you'd be amazed how many Americans are scared shitless of this administration. They are terrified. They didn't vote them in, they don't want them in and they're all on the streets, which, frankly, in LA is very unusual.
I reckon there's probably people on the other side of this fence (RAF Fairford) who feel the same way. I think for the first time, a war is being waged and there is no way the majority of people in a so called democracy state believe in that war.
Why? Because America is being run by a bunch of religious maniac bigots who stole their election and their only way of retaining power is to wage a war. Find a war: Wage a war. Get the next election. They need this war before the next election, it's the only reason it's being fought. It is not moral it is self-seeking."

alright, well, the political respect i had for tom yorke [from his free tibet stance] is mostly/all gone. i also quite seriously resent the entire "religious bigot" element.
the above statement contains several incorrect propositions that i hear repeated time and time again. comon' kids, let's know our facts.
but i'm still going to buy his next album.
apparently i have no strength of character. | | |
| i've lost interest in computer-related activities [all except for photoshop].
AIM = irritating, boring, a waste of time.
e-mail = i get one real e-mail per month, 500 useless e-mails per day. this boils down to an adventure in sorting.
xanga = i am only interested in 10% of it, so 90% of my xanga time feels like a total waste. no fun for time-management sara.
news = far more enjoyable than the others, but still not exciting.
okay whine whine complain blah blah blah. | | |

i didn't notice the clocks should be changed until monday.
the glory of spring break. | | |
| whoever you are, find something else in the world more deserving of your criticism, and make that your concern.
try stupid anger in high school students for starters. | | |
| okay, so here's my take on the guy/girl/tree/apple analogy [reference it here]:
firstly, the analogy is not fair to guys. that's why i wanted guys to comment and give their perspective. i mean, maybe it's traditionally the guys who do the direct choosing, the "picking," but girls don't just sit around doing nothing waiting to be picked. "apples" all over the "tree"?high up and on the ground?send signals to the "pickers."
This means that there is a guy tree too, or something like it. maybe the girls don't ask the guys out, but believe me, girls pick and choose who they say "yes" to and who they say "no" to. so whatever goes on is partly us girls' fault too.
and i know great girls who are loved by guys. they're not rotten!
last, it's just not correct to say that the ones who don't get picked are the most desirable. maybe this is true, in some cases, but aren't there lots of non-attractive girls that don't get picked? i mean, comon, we'd all be na�ve/idealistic/ignorant to ignore that fact.
but, and this is partly supported by the analogy, i do believe that most people pursue serious relationships with other people on their social level. part of this, as brooke says, is because those are the people they're generally around. i think the largest part of it is that most people don't like to jump into situations where they know they'll fall on their face.
and maybe some guys are intimidated by the greatness of some girls. i can understand this.
okay, so here's a note to the intimidated ones out there: go for it!
sara's verdict:
i think, and nobody take this personally, that the tree analogy is an excuse for those girls who don't get picked. it says, "hey, you aren't alone because you're not as good as the rest. actually, you're better then all the other girls!" well, yay, but ... it doesn't work like that.
so where does this leave me??
i'm confident in myself and in my future. i'm not going to judge my attractiveness by the number of guys that like me [or don't]. i'll just keep hoping that i find someone really groovy, and in the mean time, i'll become the best person that i can. when i meet him, i'll know that i'm on my best possible footing. | | |
