Current Mood

Mood: Tired

Reason: Gonna go to sleep soon.

Mood: Not tired

Reason: Just because I am! But, this is a bad thing, because I have to work tommorrow!

Mood: Stressed

Reason: I should be doing homework right now :open_mouth: Four more weeks of school though, and two more of my school softball team. Almost there. And Phillie’s game on Tuesday! So I’m excited

Current Mood: Happy & excited!! :smiley:
Reasons:

  1. I’ve been having writer’s block for a while, but this week I got so many ideas for a book that if they were lightbulbs, there’d be a power outage here. Feels so good to feel creative again.
  2. Yesterday was game night for my youth group at my church. Fun times!
  3. This morning I just watched an amazing movie.
  4. A friend I haven’t seen in a long time finally made some contact with me via email!!! Hopefully she’d come and visit.
  5. Just got a Youtube comment that complimented my latest video. I don’t get those that often, so it’s nice.
  6. Last night I finished an amazing, funny crossover fanfiction that got the characters of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid spot on! I stayed up til…1:30 am or so reading it. It was fun and memorable and reading about Genie got me smiling.
  7. Well actually this is from a week ago, but I guess some of the excitement still lasts! I went to Orlando and to 4 THEME PARKS IN A ROW for 4 days: Universal Studios, Epcot, Islands of Adventure, and Magic Kingdom! A lot of walking but VERY MUCH worth it. I’ve gone on the new Harry Potter attraction (that I forgot the name of) and it was SO AWESOME! I half believed I really was following Harry Potter close behind and getting attacked by monsters and defended by wizards. Best ride of the whole trip! Unfortunately, the lines took an ETERNITY so it took up so much time from my morning that day that I didn’t have time to get a single souvenier for it. But it’s the experience that counts most, right?
    Plus, I found out Magic Kingdom’s most fun at night. I think it’s the fireworks, parades, and short lines that did it. It’s a shame I couldn’t stay all night because that’s when I got most hyper! I’m a night person. Well, it convinced me to get a Disneyland Annual Pass soon.
    Hey, random memory from that day: when I rode on Space Mountain, no one else in my family wanted to go cuz they’re not into any rollercoasters. The problem was, I really only enjoy rollercoasters if someone I know was there. So the whole time, I imagined Stitch was there, driving and joyriding through space- totally makes sense- and that made me feel better. :laughing: Thanks, Stitch!
    And when I came back, I looked up some Disney Parks commercials for fun, and found so many good ones where the characters like Genie or Stitch or Hitchhiking Ghosts react to the park…love it love it love it! :smiley: [spoil]“It’s a small world after-” “AHHHH!”[/spoil]

So really happy. :slight_smile:

You’re not alone sister. Are you going to the Phillie’s game, or watching it on TV?

bright dot-dasher: I’m glad to hear you’re happy! It’s always nice to hear from old friends. And get over writers block. But for me, it’s more of artist block than writers block!

I haven’t been to a Card’s game since I was about 11, and that was with a friend. my dad took me to one when I was about 5. so I haven’t been to the New Busch Stadium.

Mood: Tired, but happy.
Well, I had to stand around in front of about 100 people today, so that always freaks me out, which eventually makes me get sleepy, so I’m not very… awake right now. But on the plus side, I now have officially 32 seconds of Married Life! Yay!
But I’m getting really tired and I’m losing my typing ability, so I had better get some rest. :laughing:

Mood: tired

Reason: Just took a nap, finished a few quizzes, and I just wish summer were here.

Mood: Ecstatic and elated

Reason: Osama Bin Laden is finally dead! God bless America’s amazing troops for sticking it out this long so this momentous event in history could finally come to pass! :smiley:

little chef

Mood: Angry, but a little better.

Reason: A lot has happened to me in the last 60 minutes that impacted my mood. TO name at least one, my mom and sister kicked me off the tv when I was watching one of my favorite TV shows.

But K9Girl’s hugs have been helping me get better.

little_chef: I’m so happy too, I can’t believe this has finally happened. Man, if there’s one thing that can redeem Osama, he would’ve been the ultimate champion of Hide-and-Seek! :slight_smile:

TSS: Was it because of Obama’s speech about Osama?

I’m glad that Osama isn’t out and about anymore. However, I’m sure he’s implaced a line of succession, and now I’m very frightened of counter attacks by Al-Queda.

Also, it makes me a bit sick how people are celebrating his death. Like, I’m glad he’s gone, but morally I feel like partying about it is strange. I know he was responsible for 9/11, and that’s unforgivable. I don’t know how to explain how I feel. I guess very conflicted! I hate to sound unpatriotic, I love the USA.

Personally, I don’t see why we shouldn’t be rejoicing as Americans. This horrible man was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans as well as countless others in his own country… Plain and simple, his death is a victory! :smiley:

While normally I don’t find the death of someone a joyous event in any way, this is one, like Saddam Hussein’s, that’s worth celebrating. This could be the start of finally taking down Jihad and curbing the spread of terrorism! :slight_smile:


Mood: Tired

Reason: Ecchh, it’s too early! DX I still don’t have to leave for about an hour and twenty minutes, but I’m all stiff from being so tired and don’t want to go get my clothes on and stuff. :confused: Haha, oh well… this is gonna be my routine every morning from now on, might as well start getting used to it! :stuck_out_tongue:

little chef

EJE: I wholeheartedly agree with you. While I certainly won’t be losing any sleep over the demise of this evil man, part of me wished that he was kept alive and brought to trial for his actions. That, for me, would’ve been a more satisfying punishment and demonstration to religious fanatics than simply making him a martyr.

Feeling for a human being’s death, no matter how despicable they are, is not unpatriotic, and certainly not ‘un-American’.

little_chef: I understand that his death is a victory for the brave American troops, and especially that ST6 squad sent to eliminate him. And most probably for the Obama administration (although, like you have mentioned on Twitter, I also agree that he had little to do with the actual killing of Osama beyond continuing what George Bush basically started).

But let me ask you this: What if I had Osama unarmed and tied up in a room, and I gave you a gun with one bullet? This is the man responsible for millions of deaths, American and otherwise. But can you bring yourself to kill him, as a human being?

This was the decision faced by the Tier 1 team when they stormed his mansion. They had to take the life of a human being. And once you do that, you lose a part of your humanity. The ends may justify the means, but ask yourself: Can you really murder another person, and not feel guilt or remorse about it?

I only thank Allah, Jesus Christ and Buddha that I wasn’t the man who had to do the deed, and that his reign of terror has been brought to an end, whether he was dead or alive.

When we condone the actions of killing a man, even if he is guilty, we are no different from the executioner who pulled the trigger.

Current Mood: I’m satisfied that Osama has been brought to justice, though as I’ve said above, I would have preferred if he was captured alive and trialed at a War Tribunal before the world as an example. The murder of a human being is nothing to rejoice about, even if he was the biggest ***hole on Earth.

On a lighter note, I finally watched Fast Five yesterday, and it is hands down, the best live-action movie of the year for me. So far. We’ll see how Pirates turns out.

I can’t wait to watch Rio again, though it breaks my heart that there’s so few showtimes now and that its theatrical run is coming to an end. I’m gonna try to convince a smaller group to join me on my second and final viewing of the greatest animated film of the year (so far) at the movies.

Mood- Happy

Im happy Osama is dead but like Ellie, scared of a counter attack, we are gonna need to look for for them.

Mood: Tired but pleased.

Reason: I’ve just got home after a 2-day trip to Yaroslavl’. That’s a really likable town, we had a good time there.

Going in person! Tomorrow! So excited. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been to a game, so I can’t wait! I wish I was there last night, when the stadium broke out in “USA!” “USA!” but it’s still great that we’re going.

Mood: Good

Reason: I’m my brother’s sponsor for Confirmation, and it’s tonight. 45 minutes, actually. I’ve got to go, and tomorrow’s the game so I won’t be here. Se ya all on Wednesday!

Mood: :imp: :shake:

Reason: Our back yard is being invaded by snakes…I have a fear of snakes…

I know! Saw it last night on the news! At least there one more terrorist gone from the face of this earth.

Mood: Tired

Reason: Finished some assignments for two of my classes, and got my classes for next semester at my college!

I’m glad you see where I am coming from! I know he’s responsible for mass murder. But rejoicing anyone being murdered and partying on about it just feels morally wrong, and hyprocrical. It’s like being no better then he is. Numbers play little part, murder is still murder.

And I wish he WAS alive. As you said, he’s now a martyr, and that is bad news bears. As much as we’re getting worked up here that he’s off is planet, the folks of al-Quaida are getting worked up and now have a martyr to look up to, to plot for, to die for. And that frightens me.

Evangeline: Have lots of fun!

xCarsluverx: That’s so cool, I love snakes! But I see where you’re coming from. If my backyard was full of butterflies, I’d be upset to. (Yes, butterflies. They creep me out!)
