For the past few days, I've seriously been in the best mood I've been in for a while. I love it. I'm incredibly content and more than satisfied with how everything's been falling into place. I found out I have a job today. yay! ok, so don't laugh at me. it's at American Eagle. I know, I have a nose stud. How on earth was I hired? Especially considering I don't own a single clothing item from there? but who cares. I'll be making $8.50 an hour and will finally be able to stop worrying about my continually shrinking banking account. 

I've also been getting involved with my school's socialist organization. wait, back up? I'm a socialist? well not quite. I've pretty much established myself as somewhere in between a capitalist and a socialist. I'm intrigued by socialist ideas and policies. they advocate for equality and the betterment of society. and i recognize that something ABSOLUTELY needs to be done in this country to change the ridiculous class system we have going on. but this isn't quite the best place to rant about that, because this entry would be too long and most people would stop reading at this point. But I will say this: I also recognize that socialism has its faults. like how, in canada, you might have to wait a year just to get heart surgery. not cool at all. with all the intelligent people in this country, however, there must be a way to figure out how to make sure working class families are covered and at the same time our medical system stays as effective as it is today. 

I've also been getting involved with Gay Activism, which is the issue I'm the most passionate about right now. To me, homophobia is just as bad as racism. And the fact that our country doesn't legally allow gay marriage yet speaks for how much needs to be done. But I have hope. If friggin John McCain's daughter supports gay marriage, (and Obama doesn't support it, btw) then it makes me think younger generations are more open minded about this and that soon we will be closer to ending gay discrimination in this country.

k I'm done ranting.
