Thankful Thursday: The Beautiful People

Is it ironic that i absolutely adore a Marilyn Manson song with that title? and it's playing in my head right now...teehee doesn't it seem perfectly blasphemous on this blog? *sigh* demon affiliation aside, Marilyn Manson rawks :P

The first time i put a definition, made into a conscious principle the stance i had on people, especially those i didn't really know was when my friend Fatima told me not to talk to one boy from her class because he was dumb and unintelligent and didn't get along with her.

This boy/young man has been nothing but extremely polite to me, and we had just had a pleasant superficial chit chat thing. I calmly told her that her request was absurd, seeing how i didn't have beef with this person, and that i wouldn't start one on the grounds that She didn't get along with him.

Sooo, principle being that i shall judge (not in that uppity sinful way nau, oya, replace it with assess) people based on the relationship they choose to have with me. Honestly, i do not care if your hobby is skinning baby rabbits...okay, so that might cause some issues, but my point is that if this hypothetical rabbit skinner gets on their best behaviour and is respectful and a general sweetheart to me, then it would be..a lie of me (just understand the expression jor!) to front...I'm not saying that anybody should run around looking for serial killers to make into best friends..but i'm slightly weird like that...I think i'm capable of seeing the *cough* human in a serial killer..you know, if they weren't lunging for my throat or anything..bad thing, good thing, i don't know...

In the end, it comes down to the specific relationship between you and another human being...and you can never define or judge that based on their relationship with another person..i know people who are extremely nice to me...and absolute horrors to some people *shrug* that's the way it is...so biko, don't let demsay or iheard, or i'msurethat cloud your vision...Give everyone a chance to speak for themselves, you'll be surprised what they say to you.

I am thankful for my Mommy!!! i spoke to her today and we got proper mushy..i love that woman more than all the water in all the Oceans...

I am thankful for me daddy! I like how i understand him a little more each day...

I am thankful that i've gotten up when i planned three days in a row! that, my dears, is a feat...it takes all my willpower not to hit snooze...the rewards are soooo worth it!...devotion time, a nice lazy unhurried breakfast, time to play with eyeshadow aaaaand catch the early bus which means i'm early to school+ i'm not sitting in first period regretting not getting up early, not eating, not having my quiet time...waking up early rawks!..starts your day with a sense of accomplishment...ahem...for sleepers like me, in any case :P

I am thankful that i haven't fallen in this slippery madness surrounding me...when winter is over, i'm going to the circus to apply for a part time job, because my balancing skillz iz maaaad now...teehee yea right...i'm clumiser than Bella! but i haven't fallen so yaaaay!

I am thankful for...the book market, because it makes me to be thankful for...

I am thankful for BOOKS! *drools* *eyes glaze over*...i can't believe i forgot how magical it is to read..to open a book and find yourself in another world, literally see and smell...or maybe i'm just crazy?

I am thankful for memories...which unlike most times, seem to be very vivid recently..they keep me company :)..and make me nostalgic :(

I am thankful that my body is on a disciplining mission against me...seriously! it simply refuses oil and anything fried, is revolted when i feed it white bread..or better yet donuts..muahahaha fried white bread :(, it protests at coffee...and ciggarette smoke leaves me nauseous and wondering if i'm not a victim of immaculate conception....it's great!
