| so i had to take this survey for psych... i'm still just in shock that someone could even think some of these things. or that people are this bad at making surveys
A woman can be raped against her will
If a woman is going to be raped, she might as well relax and enjoy it
If a woman is willing to make out with a guy, then it’s no big deal if he goes a little further and has sex
If a woman doesn’t physically fight back, you can’t really say that it was rape
If the rapist doesn’t have a weapon, you really can’t call it a rape
If someone tried to stop a robbery, he/she deserves(sic) to be shot
Stealing from your family is acceptable
If a woman isn’t a virgin, then it shouldn’t be a big deal if her date forces her to have sex
How much did the woman enjoy this situation?

| And I won't even explain what i mean or say what i actually think. Why? Oh right. Because everyone will rail at me and tell me i'm a horrible uncaring person, rather than try and understand what i mean. So does that mean i'm trying to fit in? No, just that i dont want to fight with people for nothing.
Remind me again why i should care about people? | | |
| "Some things never change. Some things do change."
For example, in the last year and three months, Xanga has changed so much that it took 10 minutes for me to find the button to make a new entry.
For example, it still makes me laugh, and this is about the 4th time I've mentioned it, to think of Joe Dibley's "Yeah Hack, you might have had to buy a new stairwell." On that note, I really did get away without ever having to pay for that window.
But in all seriousness, some things change soo much. Three years can be a really long time. Yes, I did go back and read every single one of my entries since July 2005...
Every fall was all about band. And almost all complaining about it, until suddenly i was saying how much i missed it.
That first swim season, I really do look like I was some angry, depressed kid with a horrible coach. But in retrospect, I really wasn't unhappy. Why? Hack if I know
Then the next one, I just reported times all season. Which is great, I don't know where I would find them otherwise, but it's hard to tell what I was like from them.
Strangely, I seem to stop writing so much every spring. I really don't like that part of the year. This part of the year. (7 more weeks).
And then I mostly stopped writing at all. Except to ask a bunch of questions to try and clear my head. I don't do that enough anymore. Which is a lot of why I'm doing this again. But, after being up all night, my head is mostly just full of nostalgia.
It was also interesting to see who I used to comment, and who used to comment me. A lot.
By the way, I'm not bringing Xanga back (not bringing sexy back, either. I think of that every time i see someone write that phrase). I'm not cool enough to make anything popular, and even if i was it wouldnt matter. I'm writing this just for me. But if anyone else reads it, more power to them.

| I'm back!!! and it's too bad we lost to concord, but it was pretty much inevitable... 50 back 28.75--just about a best time 200 IM 2:13.8-- and i totally beat matt fiwek 100 Back 1:01.96, got outtouched by .08, but it's still a pretty good time 100 Free 56, should have been faster, but it just wasnt happening so i looked at my times from concord last year... 2:13.7, 100.8, and 56 (plus a 24.6 50 Free)... i'm not doing that bad and first meet last year, 30.49 2:14 1:04 and 58.1(with a drag)... man im actually better | | |
| 1. So it's great to say that we need to get better, its great to say we need to focus on/peak at Regionals, and it's great to say to fix ourselves, then everyone else, but how to do any of this? and why do you need to tell the seniors? we get it. He had no plan of action, no idea how to spread his idea to the underclassmen. 2. The underclassmen don't get it, and we need to convince them of what they're doing, why they need to work harder, before they will. We've said from the beginning our goal is state, but do they remember that, do they really want it for themselves? Once they do, then we can make them see what it takes to get there. 3. There is a LOT more to band than just marching and playing well, and he didn't get it. Our band is a representative of the school to these competitions, to everyone else, and right now we look like idiots. Rude, uncultured idiots. And messy too, has anyone ever seen the band room after practice or contest? And no one really does anything about it. 4. Once we get them working harder, will they focus on their own? we can't make them focus, so i don't know we can do much on this topic. but it really bugs me still | | |
