Memories as Fuel

"You know what I think?" she says. "That people's memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive. Whether those memories have any actual importance or not, it doesn't matter as far as the maintenance of life is concerned. They're all just fuel."
-After Dark by Haruki Murakami

GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.

I dare you to stop scrolling through your dashboard. Stop checking your Facebook newsfeed that you’ve already checked two seconds ago. Stop updating your Twitter and seeing what your favorite celebrities are saying. Stop watching funny and nonsense videos on Youtube. Take time to educate yourself to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in this world. This is your chance! WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Let’s make JOSEPH KONY Famous!!

Who is JOSEPH KONY?

He is THE WORST LIVING CRIMINAL. He abducts children and makes them use guns to kill their own parents. He takes girls and forces them to be sex slaves. He calls his abducted children the Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers in Central Africa. He remains at large because he is INVISIBLE to the world. FEW know his name, even FEWER know his crimes. WE ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS! Because when he is, the world will unite against him and demand his arrest.

We can help make a change. We can make a difference.

I feel so inspired. I feel the need to help and make a difference. This has to happen in 2012. We can’t let him go around and keep doing this to children in Central Africa. Let’s make his name known so he can be stopped. HE CAN NO LONGER BE INVISIBLE!

This will not make your blog ugly, please take a moment to reblog and get the word out. SHARE THIS TO EVERYONE! Be a part of something BIG and when they catch this man, you would be able to say.. “I HELPED.”

LET’S START HERE ON TUMBLR.

I stopped doing my weekly posts over Christmas break, and now I don’t know how many weeks ago I started school at Gettysburg. And I don’t really care. All I know is that I’ve had one week of my new term, and if felt like two weeks, or more. It’s hard to adjust to the new classes and this term is definitely going to be a lot more busy work (text book reading and hw problems) than last term. I’m also kind of done with tumblr. I’ll check it occasionally, but I don’t see myself posting much this term. So sorry if you are someone who actually read this.

Adios.

anthropomorphia:

Ethiopian girl guarded from gang rape by three lions.

“The girl had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them. She was beaten repeatedly. Then the lions chased off her captors. The three lions guarded her for about half a day. They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.”

Then, Stuart Williams (the local wildlife ‘expert’) suggests that perhaps the lions mistook the 12 year old girl’s cries for a lion cub. Which seems awfully silly, considering that lions are perfectly capable of telling the apart the gazelles they eat from their own cubs, aren’t they?

How true is this? I don’t really know.

But reason number one million why lions are AWESOME and I totally ~~want~~ NEED one!!!!

Weeks Eighteen & Nineteen:

So, I forgot to write one of these last Friday, so I guess this will count for two weeks.

I’m not really sure why I’m still doing this, but, I guess if people want to stay sort of updated with my life it might be interesting… not that I say too much about my life on here.

Basically, Christmas is awesome, being home is awesome, and friends and family are just super awesome. I don’t go back to school until the 22nd, but I’m still feeling like I don’t have enough time!! I need to spend time with more people, I need to ride my horse, I need to practice driving/evil parallel parking so I can try to get my license again, I need to research more stuff on vet schools, etc. etc. etc…..

I also REALLY want to go ice skating! I feel like I haven’t been in years. That is my new years resolution, to go ice skating before starting school again, haha. I’m really sad that it probably wont snow before I leave though. :( Snow is so awesome, but only if I get to play in it with friends. It probably wont snow until I’m back in school and I need to walk through it to get to class.
