Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Hey wow, a blog thread.
a pack of wolves:
Oh definitely. When it gets time for care homes and colostomy bags that's the way I want to go.
Patrick:
I plan on killing myself when I'm 80 (if I haven't been hit by a car already or something) by means of playing music so loud that it liquefies my organs.
Elizzybeth:
Why do so many threads seem to turn into "when I die, this is how I want it to be" threads?
Anyway, getting back to the blogging, blog thread, I slept in, worked the afternoon shift, had dinner out with my boyfriend, then watched Star Trek and had sexyfuntimes until 1, at which point we went to Denny's to split an order of chicken fingers and made small talk with the night shift waitress named Maria who recognized us 'cause there aren't too many places that are open at one or two in the morning.

One full of dirty clothes that need washing and one full of clothes that I haven't worn in over a year and should be given to Anglicare or St Vincent's or one of those charity things where you dump all your crap into the bins that homeless people live in.

I know it's probably ridiculous, but I always feel better about giving directly to thrift stores (preferably charity-centered ones, like the Autism-school-related one near me or Out of the Closet, the AIDS one) where I know the clothes will be sold and the money donated to research and equal access to medication. Also I tend to shop at thrift stores, so by donating the nice clothes I have that I never wear, I feel like it's buying karmic insurance of a sort--if I donate my clothes, I'm sure to find something cool that I want later.
Jimmy the Squid:
Well apart from the fact that I don't believe in karma there aren't a lot of charity based thrift stores (there are heaps of thrift stores in my neighbourhood but most of them are privately run and the proceeds don't help anyone but the owner) around here. The Smith Family is a secular charity that I'll be happy to donate my old clothes to. They don't do research into stuff but they help poor kids and disadvantaged families and stuff like that and that is good enough for me.

I've actually had a somewhat productive day! Got up, did three loads of laundry and folded the stuff that needed folding while some of it is still hanging, then studied for about an hour (computer networking). Made an awesome dinner (chicken filet with some spices and..erm..garlic "cheese" (meaning not really cheese, but the kind that you can spread on bread that is more of a paste) - yum!), and in about 20 minutes, I'm going downtown to watch a football match at a pub. I hope we win! Doubt it, but still. Excited!
May not sound like much, but damnit, I'm lazy these days.
