Oh wow I haven’t blogged in ages. Jolene, Zoë, Letitia and me all have blogs but I’m the only one who kept with it, oh! So typical. Ha, ha.
Well I haven’t been up to much, we went to Ben’s house on Wednesday to watch Borat and Beer Fest, Beer Fest is so hilarious. Lukas was there, Jolene and Riki came and then we didn’t get back till like 12, so I was tired for school but then on Thursday night I was up till 1 reading. I’ve started The Book of Lies for the second time, kind of hard to remember what happened because I read it ages ago. There’s a sequal to The Book of Lies which is Master of Books I think, I hired that out too. We all read a book called Damaged a while ago, it was so sad. True story about a foster child who no one wanted because wow, she was a lot of work. Her dad raped her heaps, so did her mum and people she was made to call her uncles. All standing around, watching and laughing, taking photos…disgusting. The girl Jodie was only 9 or something. I have read and write up about a book on prejudice soon for my wide reading theme.
This weekend has been shitty and I probably won’t be at school on Monday. I have a cold or a flu, probably a flu because I had a fever on Friday and chills on Saturday, when no one else was cold. My glands in my upper neck feel like rocks they’re so hard and swollen, my neck is stiff, and of course the runny nose and all I’m doing all weekend is blowing my nose and gracefully filling up paper bag after paper bag of snotty tissues. Charming eh? I HATE BEING SICK!

It’s Monday now, and I feel slightly better. Nose is still runny but my neck isn’t stiff and the glands have gone down and I feel better, but my throats gone all croaky even though it’s not sore. The double standards are ridiculous, they don’t like giving Sudamol to people because some druggies use it to make pee, speed, whatever, and yeah… but they gave this man two bottles full when he asked without question because he had a suit on. With me they thought I was just a kid so I couldn’t have any and they were surprised when they found out I’m nearly 18.
I joined the library finally, I had a membership years ago but lost it or something, probably something to do with fines…I got some books out for my theme wide reading study. They look interesting. Nothing for Tears about an innocent family whose house gets bombed and the wifes husband Freddy gets sent to a Russian concentration camp, The Gladiator about Rome’s warrior slaves and Sins of our Fathers about black slaves who got tortured pretty bad, whipped till their skin was raw, hanged, hurt with branding irons, fetters, whips, thumb screws and mouth openers. It’s disgusting and horrible. Apparently they felt justified doing that to African people because they thought they were related to apes or something. But according to Darwin’s theory so were they, stupid idiots. They were the savages, posing as English gentlemen in their fancy clothes. They even tortured babies.
Discrimination’s is everywhere everyday, large or small scale. Just like with the medicine, they’ll gladly give it to someone who wears a suit, and suspiciously asks for two bottles worth when you only need a little bit for a runny nose, you’re not allowed too much anyway. But if someone else asks for some its like a big deal. The larger scale discrimination is a lot worse obviously but I don’t understand it. I hate it. People are ageist and try to pay teenagers less, like…how does being younger mean you don’t work as hard as older people? It doesn’t. The American’s still have a large group of racists who are rednecks and they’re basically still not ready for a black president so I think Hillary Clinton will get in. That Phelps family are the most openly prejudice family in America. They hate gays and for what? Because God apparently hates gays, and actually I think the bible does condemn against homosexuality but apparently the Catholic Church tampered with the bible and added things in. God even says do not worship other gods because I am a jealous god, so that’s like him saying there are other gods, after all. Well, the Greeks certainly believed in their gods and after reading Alexander the Great I learnt that Alexander was very lucky, and strange omens and signs came true after praying to the gods. The Phelps family take bits like that, the odd passage where God seems foreboding and teach hate it and discriminate against things, but they selectively forget other stuff the bible says. They forget about love and kindness and not to JUDGE others because we will all be judged accoringly by Jesus…THEY have no place to judge others. Like the tragic character Danny says in American History X hate is baggage and it’s not worth it. When will people learn? What will it take? World war III?
