Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These

Waking up this morning thinking it was Saturday was a rude awakening. It was not Saturday. It was Friday, and I was running late. . . About an hour and a half late but who's counting? One of the reasons I am okay with Spirit Week is that I always have an outfit. So I after landing flat on my face getting out of bed, I just hopped into knee socks and my banana yellow hoodie.

Pep rally is the one time of year where boys can dress as women and be okay with it. Notice the comparison between "Boys" and "Women". I am a firm believer that most boys are about two years mentally behind most girls. We move back at least five pegs on the evolutionary calender, dressing up and shouting. This is my only comment on Pep Rally.

Seeing as the people who read this blog are all old enough to understand the following concept, I figured I would post this. It's a survey I took recently entitled "Twenty Five Controversial Questions". I enjoy having an opinion. I honestly do. I like that I have the mental capacity to not only form opinions, but support them as well. Like most, I am frusterated when people don't understand my reasoning behind things, but these are just things I believe. Instead of posting as a survey, I'm going to post a topic and discuss my opinion of these things. As you can tell, I have a lot to say, and this will be a long post. I hope you enjoy reading it, or at least read it for kicks. Here goes nothing.

Legalization of Meth and Other Illegal Drugs:
Drugs are stupid. This sounds like a very juvenile comment, I'm sure, but they are. Honestly, teenagers today have the knowledge of the effects drugs have on you. I don't know if I'm just the only one who listens in Health class or what occurs, but these things mess with your brain. Am I the only one who sees the WRONG in that. Your brain holds so many memories, so much knowledge, so many thoughts. Why would you ever want to toy with that? What is so appealing of walking around in a daze? Honestly, I do not understand.

Abortion:
Abortion overall, I find very wrong. It's incredibly circumstantial. There are very specific conditions in which I find this condonable. One, for example, is rape *ahem, Sarah Palin, ahem*. If you did not make the CHOICE to have sex, why should you be put into a position you know you're not ready for? Girls are going through puberty earlier and earlier. There are nine year old girls who are physically ready for a child, but we would NEVER saddle them with a baby. And, if you were raped, imagine the pain of looking at your baby and remembering. Another time I could ever understand an abortion is when you don't know you're not physically fit for a baby. If a woman thinks she is going through menopause and then is pregnant, she should not be forced to carry a baby. She's clearly older and it's not fair to neither her nor the child. Also, if you have some kind of communicable disease that could be given to the child that you didn't know about. If you find out you have AIDS when you're pregnant, it's probably best to not have your baby. When a baby is simply not "convienient" for you (See Upper East Side mothers who do not wish to ruin their figure), that's really not fair. You don't know who your child could grow up to be. And in the words of Su-Chin, from Juno, "Your baby has fingernails, you know!"

Female Presidents:
This is also circumstantial. If the woman was an idiot, then no. But just because she is a woman, does not mean she will fail. Women are perfectly capable of running a country, thank you.

The Death Penalty:
No. Wishing anyone to die is wrong.

Premaratial Sex:
It varies from person to person. If you're willing to deal with the concequences, then that's your decision.


Same Sex Marraige and Prop 8:
Yes. Marriage is not defined by what some people think is "right", it's about love. It's cliche, but we really are all the same, we just love different people. Embrace it.

Alcohol Age Lowered To Eighteen:
Personally, I see no desire to drink. Teenagers drink anyway, they will no matter what the law is.

Assisted Suicide:
It depends on the situation. If a person is in an unbearable amount of pain, they shouldn't be forced to suffer. But they should also consider their family.

Spanking Children:
No. Why should they have to be physically punished? They're kids, they don't know any better.

McCain Versus Obama:
I honestly had no idea with this one. I wasn't particularly fond of anyone.

Should child predators be forced to wear signs identifying themselves ?
This vaguely reminds me of The Scarlet Letter. . . But I honestly don't know. I can see where people are coming from, but I can't imagine the shame.

Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Yes. But people can think of me however they want. I stopped caring when I came to terms with the fact that people are always going to judge me.
