We had a quest speaker from Guatemala in one of my classes yesterday. He works for a peasant organization working for land reform and labor laws. It was really interesting, and got me thinking. You know, I don't think Americans realize what other countries think of us until we're faced with someone who is telling us. He was asking us questions about what we knew about the current situation in his country, and he just KNEW we'd have no clue.
And of course we didn't. So many of us don't know a thing about politics. We pretend we do and we have opinions that we think MUST be right, but we don't really know, at least not most of us. We don't learn about it or take action because we think it's boring. We have such short attention spans. We pat ourselves on the backs for doing nothing but signing our names to a petition or letter that someone else took the time to write. And it's so priveledged of us, we don't get involved unless our safety or well being is being threatened. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad or sound superior, because I know i'm guilty of this too. I just wanted to rant.

Today I am thinking about my happiest moments. A sunrise and I still haven't slept yet. Being told that someone is falling for me. Falling asleep next to the person who makes me feel loved and safe. Just hte way another person can make my heart feel is wonderful to me. It's making the gross, gray, misty-rainy day outside ten times better.
Of course, it would be even BETTER if I could just sleep all day.

Questions:
1. What, to you, makes someone sexy?
2. What is the best thing (or are the best things) about boys? girls?
