Kitten Picture #1

Okay, so there’s about 3 new posts now, so don’t just look at this one, no matter how cute/scary it is.

This picture always scares me. Yet it’s cute at the same time.

Kitten Picture #2

Presenting: The Squishy Kitten (that’s what Kani calls it).

A cute kitten.

My family has gone nuts over this picture. It’s popping up on user pics and desktops everywhere.

Coming soon…

Look after Valentine’s Day for updates on the Barbie Inauguration and a slightly more serious look at the danger of being a Republican at my school.

Update: My newest post actually ended up under this one because it was started earlier. Sorry.

Republican?

A strange thing happened yesterday

Okay, not strange for my town, I guess. But I’d never encountered it before.

Before I say anything, I must add that I am a moderate-Democrat. It’s the way I grew up. But what I hate is when schools aren’t politically neutral.

Recently, we had an assembly on MLK. That’s fine with me. Then the step-dance team did a dance blatantly advertising the Democratic party. And it just really annoyed me that they were assuming everyone in my school was a Democrat.

The next day, my drama teacher asked us what we thought about the assembly. Me, with my big mouth, raised my hand and without thinking said that I wished it had been more politically neutral.

Everyone in the class turned and looked at me. Then Kyle, in a slow tone, the one people use before they shoot you in movies, said: “Are you a Republican?”

I could have just answered no. But I got all mad at him for implying that it was a deadly sin to be a Republican. I turned and glared at him and said,

“Does it matter?”
