First let us have a moment of silence in the memory of all who died on 9/11/01. And remember we are not the only country to undergo terrorism....some countries go through it every day. We need to think about that and know we are not alone.
Okay so it’s official. I’m a bitch. I’ve come to terms with it, and realize that there’s not much I can really do to change other people’s opinions of me other than to change myself. But, you know what? I like who I am. And obviously, there are enough positive aspects to my personality to keep my boyfriend and my friends around, so I must not be too entirely horrible. Additionally, I think it’s awesome my friends feel they can be completely honest with me, no matter what the criticism is. So I’m not a nice person (well not entirely.) Who is a completely nice person? The people who seem like they could never be mean in their entire lives are simply acting, and repressing any negative emotions they may have. Remember, the abusers are the ones who tend to be the most charming. Therefore, I’m fine just the way I am. Though I’m sure no one is contending that I need major change, I just want to reassure myself that I am indeed a good and valuable person, even if I tend to say a couple of harsh things. Or a hundred.
Anyway, on with it on with it (no one wants to hear you gripe..)
So I’m in family law at the moment (mainly goofing off with my newly found friend Ashley) and lo and behold, who does the professor mention in the middle of lecture?? That’s right – State Senator Friend. And yes, those of you who read this blog and know generally about me know to whom he is related. I think that’s hilarious – I don’t think I’ve ever been in a class where one of my friend’s (haha no pun intended) relatives was actually mentioned. It’s fabulous.
Also, I’m supposed to support Miss Ashley’s argument regarding abortion, and although I haven’t read it yet – and I’m assuming it’s pro-choice, I support it!! I’m a fan! Not of abortion per se, but of women’s rights to privacy and to choose what she does with her own body. I’m not even sure the father should have the right to choose, because what if both of them want different things? Then if she had the abortion, he would have the right to sue…taking away her right to choose in the first place. And what if he didn’t want the baby? There’s a case where the father said he didn’t want her to have the baby but she had it anyway, and thus didn’t think he should pay child support. Well, you know what? (completely not a legal argument…) he was there when conception occurred. Just because it may not be his choice does not rid him of responsibility. In any case, it’s not entirely logical. Maybe later I’ll think of a legal argument that will stun all of you – but I’ll concentrate on that after I move this weekend.
Speaking of which, I’m extremely excited about this new endeavor – I haven’t moved in 2 years! And I have a roommate! Score! I just can’t wait to get out of my apartment with the drug lords and the breaking in cars situation, blah blah blah. Plus, hopefully I’ll get cable – which would just make my day.
Alright, I’m going to pay attention to Alfalfa – no, not the guy in front of me, but the guy teaching the class. :)
