Journal update

Hrm... not much going on in my life lately. I've been posting quite a bit to my journal. I just don't know what to write about here. I guess I'm going through a phase.

One Year

Hrm. I've been posting to the blog for almost a year. Wow. Time flies.

Do you hate the insta-patriots as much as I do? Why are people making a buck off of other people's misery?

Today I was talking with my mom and she and I agreed: we're both insurance-poor (meaning we'd be rich if we didn't have to pay for insurance!).

Sometimes it sucks being a grownup.

I just posted a new journal entry. Its title is "Summer Camp," and it's about my recollections of summer when I was growing up.

Reading OLJs

I'm addicted to online journals. My name is Cassanndra and I'm an addict. Too bad that really good ones are hard to find. I wish there was some kind of index to journals, but with one new blog or journal or diary being created every minute, that would be a superhuman task to keep up with. (I should know: I have to keep a little notebook with my passwords for my myriad email addresses and also for my journal sites.) :)

Stupid News Story

WTF??? The lawyers are just looking for their next big payoff. This is so ridiculous that I don't have words. (BTW, I thought suing the tobacco industry was stupid, too.)

Annoying Blogger Problems

I'm glad that I can actually get into my blog tonight to post something. For quite awhile now, whenever I've thought about posting, the site takes forever to come up (especially since I have a dial-up connection). A few weeks ago, when i was posting the last entry, it took like an hour to post and publish—which was basically because the pages loaded soooooooo slow. Yay Blogger for fixing the problem!

Finding Forrester

Last Sunday, I watched the movie "Finding Forrester." It's about a high school student from the ghetto who discovers that a world-famous novelist lives down the street from where he plays basketball. Guess what the title of Forrester's book was? —"Avalon Landing" Can you believe it? I hadn't seen the movie before I created this blog. I have no idea if I saw a preview where the scene of the cover of the book was shown, and the title stayed in the back of my mind, or if I made the title up myself. I'd like to think that I made the title up. Anyway, I couldn't believe the title. It was strange; I felt like I had copied from the movie, but I didn't.

Dog Update/Drug Mule/Porn Star Dies

UPDATE: THE DOG HAS BEEN RESCUED!!!!!!!!! My faith in humanity has been restored.

Maybe I spoke too soon: here's a story about a 5-year-old drug mule.

Linda Lovelace, the famous "Deep Throat" porn star, is dead at the age of 53.

Dog Rescue

To attempt to rescue this dog, it cost $50,000, and the ship had sunk by the time they went to get the dog. Why didn't the rescuers allow the owner of the dog to take the dog with him when the humans were rescued?! It would have saved the dog's life---and the $50,000. It makes me sick to think of that poor dog waiting to be rescued, only no rescue ever came. Our animals depend on us for their survival. I'm so sad now. I wish I hadn't read the article.

Nothing Doing

What have I been doing lately? Well, everything but posting to my blog! I've been trying to keep a journal entry a day going. I've been working overtime at work—now that the season has started again, I've been too busy to blog, the way I did when I first started my blog. I've been thinking a lot about creativity, and how I've been copying a lot of what other people post, and adding my own spin. I want to be more original. The only problem is that I feel I have nothing to say! The thing is that when I began to write for this "audience," I feel more pressure to write something "fantastic." I don't even know if anyone is reading. I guess all writers feel that way sometimes. I like the interaction with readers. I guess I just want a huge audience or something, but my writing is sssssssoooooooo boring. Time to put ye olde thinking cap on and get more creative!

Cheating

Cheaters never prosper—eventually. It sickens me to think that all these "historians" have prospered off the works of other people, who aren't as famous. Why do the "name" people get all the breaks?
