What Makes You YOU?
♥1. Name one life altering experience, good or bad. Be as specific as possible.
The most life-altering experience I have ever had actually happened within the last week. Our sociology class went to the Bay State Correctional Facility to hear a group of inmates speak. They were part of this program called Prison Voices that provides opportunities for high school classes to come in and hear all of their stories. Prior to this experience I had always been a supporter of the death penalty. Don't get me wrong, I don't advocate killing, but I know that if one of my family members was murdered I would want the person responsible killed on the spot. It doesn't make up for anything, an eye for an eye doesn't apply to life and death, but somehow killing a killer is more appealing than letting him/her live.
Back to the point. When we heard these men telling their stories, about how they screwed up, were beaten, abused, and ravaged as kids and stil blamed what they had done on themselves and no one else, it hit me that people could change. They deserved to be in prison for what they had done, and they knew it and acknowledged it. They had to suffer for what they had done, but they were still alive. The murderes were still alive, but it finally hit me that we should have no say in who lives and who dies. People can't play god. It can't/doesn't/shouldn't work that way.
♥2. Marilyn Manson said, "People don't keep journals for themselves, they keep them for other people. Like a secret they don't want to tell, but they want everyone to know.” What sort of information is contained in your Live Journal? Is it friends-only? Why/Why Not? Prove you have brains behind that beauty
I feel like that quote holds true for people who use livejournal as their journals. Getting feedback is rewarding and reassuring, especially when it is from people you may never have to meet in person. My livejournal has its share of rants and attention-getting information, but like I said, feedback is reassuring and conversing about certain things online is easier than talking about them in 'real life'. It is full of pictures that I would love people to see, but it is friends only because I like to know who I am sharing my online self with. It's like a friendship, you can choose to tell one person something about yourself, and because you trust them, you know the rest of the world isn't going to hear about it unless you put it out there for them to see. I post pictures of guys and girls, crushes, hate-notes, rants, complaints, questions, stupid mems, funny quizes, anything-you name it. My journal is friends-only because I like to know who I am communiating with.
♥3. If you had to give up one IMPORTANT thing in your life, what would it be? Explain why you think you could live without it.
I would give up my license. Now, I love driving, I mean, I go out and drive around Massachusetts just to drive. But I think if I I didn't have a license I would be better off. I would actually have to work to get places, like biking or even *gasp* walking. I used to walk all over the place, now I just hop in the car and zoom off to where ever it is I need to go, even if I don't really need to get there. Not to mention the gas prices, and the nasty fumes I blow into the air every time I get into the car.
♥4. What point in your life so far have you felt the most confident and perfect? Explain the scenario and your feelings attached to it. Provide a picture if possible.
Every time I get on my horse I am perfect. Every time I go near my horse I am perfect. He is non-judgemental---something human beings can nevr be. He teaches me patience and how to be precise. We work together. I don't really do the whole group-work thing, working with people is too difficult to coordinate and make work. Working with a horse-well, if you don't cooperate you usually end up on the ground or under his feet.
This is Zach.
