A typical friday

Today im not feeling as militantly environmental but I will try to keep the militant feeling around. My day went by in a haze like all Fridays. I was inviting my friends to a “social gathering of responsible peers and Trevor in celebration of the 15th anniversary of my birth” for tomorrow but I worry that I invited to many people (like 15 off the top of my head and that is relying on the fact that no one invites anyone else). I can kind of imagine a bunch of cars showing up tomorrow and ending up having everyone in Ithaca and the surrounding area arrive. The book a good forest to die in was initially really exciting but as far as I can tell it became slightly overly historical and explaining the situations leading up to the Protestor getting killed (although there isn’t anything wrong with this). Right now im kind of pissed off at my mom (a regular occurrence) because when I told her that I invited a bunch of people she flipped out and immediately asked me if I had invited a certain kid. This kid in question I didn’t invite but he is a nice kid even if he walks the line in regards to the law and is always getting in trouble for drugs. I think she is a massive hypocrite because when she was younger she obviously did drugs and unless I am very much mistaken inviting her to a party wouldn’t have been the worst thing that could happen. My English teacher was really annoying today. He has very good intentions and does cool stuff with us (like take us to the falls or invite Rising tide to come visit our class) but he still manages to do some really annoying things. Today he started the class reading from this book about Cambodian history because we are about to read a book about the Cambodian genocide. In it the book defiantly said something along the lines of “Cambodia is so fucked up because westerners can’t see the difference between Cambodia and other countries”. But near the end of the class my teacher mentioned how a character in the book showed the Confucian value of filial piety. To me this seemed like comparing Celtic ideas to Christianity because they are both in the same relative area. If you have read this far you get a gold star. Also if you have read this far you may be wondering why I have no form at all of formatting. This is because I have completely given up on trying to format my ramblings. I am hoping that my writing will improve just by me writing a page a day.
My dad has is kindof amusing today. He has bought me the Gimme! Barista guide for my birthday (or something from gimme!) and has been really sneaky about it. This would have worked except I heard the people at gimme talking about and he got it from them infront of me.
Just as I have been writing I have been hit by a wave of tiredness. I point this on “coming down” from my mini caffeine buzz from the mocha loving supreme I got at gimme today. I think I spend about 30 dollars there a week and its kindof depressing when I think about it.
This morning I meet Christa before school at College town bagels and then we walked to school, which was very nice. There is this one guy at CTB who seems really talkative and always jokes with me. I cant decide whether it is creepy or nice.
My mom is insisting that I get a job this summer. This bothers me because I would like to do something but I would like it to be meaningful. In the perfect world I would have a hippie socialist social action protest group I could join and work with this summer but unfortunately we don’t have that even in Ithaca (actually it wouldn’t be a perfect world if there were groups trying to solve problems). This summer I will probably just end up playing wow and hanging out with friends but im sure that it will beat school. Goodbye until tomorrow.
