Zack still hasn't called. Ya know, if he ends up calling tomorrow or Sunday, I'm just gonna tell him that I made other plans and he can't come because he was being slow and stupid as usual. Whatever. It's his fault if he doesn't show up. Yesterday I found out that one of my favorite characters on Suddenly Susan died five years ago. I'm a little behind on all this, eh? But I was still sad.... (Yesh, I watch Suddenly Susan when it comes on at one in the morning....) He was really cool. And he was only thirty when he died :( Mom and I went to the animal shelter yesterday. There weren't many great dogs there, but there were some sweet cats. Mom signed us up to take a dog named Mikey to the Saturday Market. Maybe I'll run into Josh there.... Or Daniel. That would be cool. I'm gonna post another article I got that really pisses me off. "Calif. Top Court Annuls San Francisco Gay Marriages August 12, 2004 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California's Supreme Court annulled more than 4,000 gay marriages in San Francisco on Thursday, finding that the city acted improperly in granting the marriage licenses earlier this year in defiance of state law. The mayor of the liberal city ignited a passionate nationwide debate in February by allowing 4,037 same-sex couples to wed over a four- week period before the California high court halted them as it reviewed the city's actions. A California law backed by a voter referendum defines marriage as a union of man and women, and polls show most Californians continue to oppose gay marriage." In a country that is supposed to be based on freedom and NOT religion, marriage should be the union of two people who love one another. Love has no gender, as my friend always says. I wouldn't be surprised if Bush tried to exile all gay citizens of the U.S., because it sure as hell isn't beneath him. America became a country of its own to support freedom, did they not? Religion is not freedom--religion is fearing the thing that created Earth, if God exsists, that is. Turning this coutry into a purely Christian country won't accomplish anything. It won't make us a stronger country altogether, and it won't support what this country was originally based on, despite what Bush thinks. And even if Bush does succeed in banning gay marriages, he can't stop gay couples from being together. Gay couples will always love each other whether they can marry or not. And THAT is what makes a strong country. If you want such strict laws, Bush, then you'd be better off in Afgahnistan. TTFN! *** We went up to Hatcher Pass to go blueberry-picking with Julie and Chris. It was pretty fun. Altogether we got enough berries for half the bucket, which isn't bad, because most of the berry bushes were dead. I guess they didn't get enough water :S After that we went over to Julie's house and Chris made us turkey-burgers. They were pretty good, but a little burnt on the bottom. Then after that, Julie made us a blueberry pie with all the berries we picked. It was sooo good! Ugh, I get hungry jsut thinking about it.... *drool* I was really pissed off at my mom, though. She promised that we would go to Colonie Kitchen with them, but she didn't even ASK. I was really looking forward to going there! It doesn't even bug me that much that we didn't go, it bugged me that she promised she'd take me and then didn't even ask if they wanted to go. As usual. I should've known, no adults ever keep their promises. If they say they promise, it's 100% total lie to make you feel better at that second, but ends up making you hate them in the end. I hate adults. They suck. I'm just pissed at her sooo bad. Then after that, she promised that she'd take me there sometime this week. No, she didn't promise, she said "maybe". WHICH MEANS NEVER!!! I HATE it when she does that! Everytime she says maybe I just stop talking to her completely, because by maybe, she means no. She always has, and I know she always will. It's so fucking frustrating!!! *Breath... breath* Okay I'm calm. I hate hanging out with mom and and Julie. I mean, I love them both to death, but they are the TWO MOST BORING PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE!!! All they talk about is geneology and old friends, and trying to remember people's name! I can't talk to them! Can't they talk about ANYTHING more interesting? And when they finally do talk about someone different, guess what it is? Men. Men like Mel Gibson and George Clooney. It drives me insane! But we do have some good conversations. Since I got older we've been talking more about gay rights :P I talk about that with everyone. Ooohhh, come to think of it... I would kill to sit down with George Bush for an hour and talk to him (if he could piece together a sinle sentance without fucking it up, that is). I would KILL to make George Bush realize Christianity ISN'T the only way to go, much less the RIGHT way. Okay, I'm done with politics. For now. Politics drive me insane because I know no one cares about a thirteen-year-old girl's political views, so I'll shut up. Jess and Dad are gone camping. I'm not sure if I already said that, but they are. So.... I'm an only child for a while. Next weekend, Dad and I are going to Seward. I don't know if I'll be able to stand him for a weekend. If he corrects me on one little thing, I swear to God..... *Rolls eyes* Dad's always correcting me on something. And he doesn't do it in a friendly tone, either. It does it in a condescending "you should know that!" tone. And most of the time it wasn't even my fucking mistake! He just jumps to conclusions! And he's a hypocrite. When something of OURS gets lost, he tells us to go look for it, but if something of HIS gets lost... he tells us to go look for it. I'm just fed up with it. Lately I haven't even been putting up with him. He bites my head off, I bite his off, and then chew on it for a while. I guess he's kinda stopped badgering me since he's noticed that I really don't care what he thinks about what I do. TTFN!
