I started doing the year-end meme survey, but I stopped, because I can't remember much about earlier this year. The only thing in 2010 that is in my mind right now is Justin, and how much my life has brightened because of him. This year has been pretty marvelous. I saw Eddie Izzard and Louis CK. I saw Hanson (twice) and the Backstreet Boys, 30 Seconds to Mars... I turned 25.
Holy shit I'm 25. I don't think i believe that yet.
There were so many things I thought I would do, and would have done, by the time I was 25. I think my sister was the same way. I remember her saying she thought she'd be married by then. Jenny is actually getting married next October, so that's exciting and scary :)
Right now I'm actually home for an evening by myself, so I'm going to try to clean my room. It's weird when i'm not with Justin. Especially waking up by myself. Just feels... weird.
And i just found out that I lost over $100 in gift cards. target, chilis, other restaurants, mastercard.
I had to put Penny down today, my face hurts I've been crying so much. I love her so much, I'm going to miss her like crazy. My sweet baby :( Her lungs were filled with fluid and she was struggling to breathe. There wasn't much that could be done :( i didn't want her to suffer any more.
I feel so bad for Tonks, she's all alone now :( :( I'm think of trying to find someone who will adopt her. I'm just not ready to get another rat.
Today, after seeing Snooki and John McCain bond over the tanning tax on twitter, i just stared in disbelief.
I have no pity whatsoever for those that complain about something like that. It started with cigarettes. Oh boo hoo, it costs more money to kill yourself. Is it going to stop you from doing it? Probably not. But you know what, knowing that cigarettes fucking kill you from the inside out didn't stop you either. So keep wasting your money.
Furthermore, tanning is a 10% tax. Last i saw, it costs no more than $15 a session. What the fuck. Do people know math? It's not that much more. People need to shut up. People aren't going to stop doing these things just because of a price increase. Do cigarette sales ever suffer?
And just to add, I don't understand at all. I really don't. I never have, and probably never will, understand why people smoke cigarettes. It's the most disgusting thing ever. And people that complain about how much money they spend on cigarettes? Don't deserve brains. Hey here's an idea, don't fucking smoke.
Someone made a beautiful point in an LJ community, and i want to quote them;
" But honestly, the problem with that argument is that all the smokers or all the alcoholics or all the drunk drivers or all the people who tan obsessively do not live on an island by themselves. Money ends up coming out of my taxes and my healthcare costs to pay for the injuries/diseases they rack up from what they do with their own body. Because of that, I can't 100% embrace the "let everyone do everything all the time and without any comment" when it comes to substances that are known to cause serious problems."
