The Universe... why don't people want it?

The universe is amazing. Most people don't realize how beautiful things are out there. They think those images on star trek are fake... that things aren't that amazing. It's so sad.
Here's a website that has amazing images of our universe. people really should go check it out, see what they're missing...... before it's too late.

Many of these images were taken by the hubble space telescope... but soon that will never happen again.
Bush decided that it would be better to destroy this amazing gift than to let astronauts do what they live for and fix it... something they've done before, something that's their expertise.
It's like someone telling you they have to shoot a horse because it bowed a tendon, and you're a vet who can fix it. People who don't know what they're doing...
It's sad. It never ceases to awe me when I see my desktop image filled with a nebula, light years away.
But progress and change is bad... let's go back to the good old days... when fathers could beat their children without reprimand, where little kids had to work in factories while giant trusts stole their money, when women could be raped and have no way to say anything, where people were sterilized for any reason the courts wanted.... where poisons were let loose in the environment... where animals were hunted to extinction.
Oh yes, those were the good old days.

Why can't the good old days be the ones where we solve world hunger, because someone invented the replicator...

Funny things thanks to those crazy kids I left behind

You're very open minded, and you could see yourself in any number of interesting relationships.And being extremely independent, anyone you're with has to give you space.You approach new lovers like they are a subject, learning everything about them.But once you've "mastered" a new person, you often feel like exploring some one else!

HEHEE.
That was fun.

How Long?

It's funny. My life isn't really that striking these days. I read Elizabeth's blog and think "Wow, one striking event in a day and she can write something deep and important... I wonder why, but my life isn't like that" At least that's what I tell myself, keeping myself separate from the people around me, not noticing things that mean something.
You would have thought that yesterday I would have posted something on here;
I got accepted as an RA for next year. I didn't get the dorm of my choice (McNary where I live now.) but rather the dorm that is known as 'oh, that's the pothead dorm, so you probably won't be hanging out there'.
I start thinking... maybe I was picked last? Maybe they throw the ones they don't like in the bad dorms...
But then Meg, my RA found me, all excited to know if I had made it.
When I told her I was in Hawley-Buxton, she went "Wow, you must have interviewed REALLY well! That dorm has a lot more 'discipline issues' than we do."

Ok, maybe I didn't get picked last.

And I got a job for spring term. I get to sew costumes, just like I wanted! My professor in costume design came over and was like "Does anyone have work study? Yes? You want a job next term? Ok, just bring in the form!"

This weekend I get to go jump on the bus with the upperclassmen and go fire M-16's... real ones. I love ROTC. I know I need to be here. I have to believe that the Cadet Command Surgeon will not kick me out. I have to.

I got an A on my last german test - to go with all the other A's. Another grade well earned. Now all I have to do is ace my math final, read a book and write a report on it in 1 day, finish a costume that I'm not allowed to sew a stitch in, do a PT test, have class B inspection.....

I suppose there are reasons why I don't let myself get pulled away by every little thing. I just don't have time. That's why my friends are not very many, I just won't try to be someone's friend if I can't afford the time to be a real friend.

Anyhow, that's enough stalling. I've got to get back to my latest addiction - the library. And get something done!

DAMN DAMN DAMN

Oh just screw it all!
My gums hurt. It's funny, eating beef jerkey is all that's keeping me from starving to death, since I've only eaten about three meals this week... but my mouth is kinda tired.
I've taken up running twice a day, but it's really hard because my calves and arches and stuff are all locked up. My head is all over the place, I can't settle down and focus. Which means I'm not getting anything done.
I could tell you about all the boring details of my day.
But I'm in too bad of a mood.
And since I know that nobody reads this damn thing.... WHO CARES!
I'm sinking deeper into nerddom.... downloading and watching in order, episodes of all the Star Treks. Sigh. Mostly it's escapism; letting me feel close to somewhere much better... somewhere I belong. It's too bad. Perhaps I should start working on a costume for the convention... hahaha. just in case.
Or maybe not.
I think it's a problem in one's life, when the big things that happen to them are not really good. When the best most exciting thing that happened is that you didn't make a complete idiot out of yourself - THIS week...
escapism-machine......... GO
