MUSIC!
We've been playing the music channel at work in the background lately so I've had a song or two stuck in my head that I absolutely needed to download. I'll list them at the end so you can discover them too. Some are new, some I've known of for a while and haven't remembered to download.
There has been so much drama at work lately. I won't go into details, but big changes are happening, and I'll be honest, I'm nervous about the whole thing, because if certain staff aren't "safe", neither am I. Sigh. Well, this coming week will be very interesting, and we'll see if my worst fears will come to realization. I'm really hoping not.
I'm sure if you haven't been living under a rock for the past few days, you know the story of Amanda Todd, the girl who killed herself because she was being brutally bullied and stalked by a cyberpredator. The poor thing was only 15 years old. If you have been under a rock, I'll give you a quick rundown: she took some nude photos on a webcam for a stranger on one of those sites akin to Omegle or Chatroulette. The stranger kept the photo and sent it to all her friends/family members. She moved schools a couple times but he continued his stalking and posting photos. He made a facebook page with her photos on it, etc. Eventually the kids at school bullied her horribly and she found the only way out was to kill herself. It's incredibly sad...but there's so much internet bitching about how "everyone cares about this one girl, but not about the countless others who have had this happen to them too". The point with Amanda Todd is the fact that she made a video sharing her story, it went viral after she killed herself, and now they're using her as an example of what cyberbulling can do to someone. Example is not a happy word when it comes to a child killing herself, but that's exactly what the public is doing. I'm neither for them or against them. I am simply sad that it happened, and I'm getting on with life like the rest of the world. I just felt I needed to share something about her.
Sometimes, when Phoenix is being a little shit, I wonder why I didn't get a dog instead of a kitten. I miss having a dog. I love dogs, I love being able to take them places with you, I love walking them, I love playing with them. I love everything about them, really. I think the only issue is the time thing. I don't have time for a dog. Yes, I could make excuses, but the point of it is, by the time I spend 8 hours at work (sometimes more), I've been up since 6:30 am, I don't want to go out in the evening. All I want to do is have some dinner, take a shower, and relax until I have to go to bed to get up for the next day. So I guess the real reason I don't have a dog is that I'm lazy. I don't know. I think if I had a dog rather than a cat, I'd be out more. I'd have to!
Don't get me wrong, I love Phoenix more than possibly any other animal in my life. He's my first real pet, my first true companion animal just for me. We've had family pets, of course, but they're not just MINE. Phoenix is, and always will be, my baby. I chose him from just a few days old, and I had him all to myself from 5 weeks. He and his brother Anubis are the best choice I ever made (though sometimes I do regret it, and they get on my nerves, and I wish I hadn't chosen them). They're incredibly special to me. If anything ever happened to Phoenix I'd be a wreck! Despite his annoying nature, his need to wake me up BEFORE my alarm goes off, his scratching everything, jumping on the counter, eating my food, chewing my hair...he's my baby, and I'll love him forever.
In other news, orange juice is delicious, and kind of an obsession.
Alright, I think I need to be done for now. :P
