Oh sweet, sweet Friday.

And it's five more weeks before school begins again. Five weeks before I trade the limited freedoms that I have now for the ones that I have when I live away from home.

Earth Hour is this Saturday, and I think it's a really good strategy on WWF's part to spread global awareness for the environment and energy efficiency. Much better than those idiotic concerts (which are a collossal waste of energy on the grand scheme of things), anyhow.

But when does awareness turn into action? So we're famous for being able to talk the talk. And by the time we act, won't it be too late?

Perhaps it's a bit cynical, but I'm just being a realist. Governments simply care too much about economical and industrial benefits to give the environment a higher spot in their priorities list. For the trillions that we've spent on wars, we could probably have researched a practical alternative fuels vechicle by now. I'm just saying.

And there's no greater place to see selfishness at work on a grand scale than in politics.

Flowers

I love spring. Well, it doesn't really feel like spring right now - seeing as the temperature's still subzero, but it's the concept that counts!

Temper

I don't need anger management classes. Living with my mother gives me enough training in controlling my temper.

But let me just say that a ten-minute drive is NOT far, even if it's in the rain. *cue horrified gasp* And even if I get into a car accident, become paralyzed/mutilated/dead, seriously, it'll just be too bad. Because, dear mother, you might as well just keep me in a cage, the way things are going.

%$#@. So much for anger management.

MAKE IT STOP.

Snow is beautiful and fun and nice when you don't have to walk in heels, lugging a 10-pound bag, when you can stay inside, under covers, and sip hot chocolate. It's enough of a struggle to wake up in the morning - I really don't need the snow and the cold to remind me of the lovely, warm, comfortable bed.
