Wow, you've finally put into words what I think every LeMars resident ever felt. I guess if it makes you feel any better, there is no way you will walk away from LeMars without learning a lot and being a better person. I guess I kinda see you as a Big Fish in a small pond right now. You actually THINK and that is what is so frustrating, being around people that don't like change and new ideas. Or even old ideas. Just Ideas in general. It's a relief to be with people that embrace ideology that they may not necessarily agree with, and you'll find that soon. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm proud of you. I know you aren't a hypocrite, you never have been. You've always been so honest (and sometimes we were a little TOO honest). I'm very proud of you for not giving into the small town idea that you need to do drugs, drink, have sex etc. to be cool. I've been so lucky here to have awesome friends that find fun things to do so all that other jazz doesn't tempt us whatsoever. You are something amazing, Anna, and don't ever

haha i just laugh at the irony that after 7 years apart, we are still like soul sisters! I was actually talking about you today....remember when we got sent to the principal's office in 5th grade and we acted all badass? i went home and cried after that. well, now i'm sort of in the same "fuck the system, i hate L-Town AND the shitty school" mood, and it's gotten the best of me. I have in school suspension tomorrow for skipping. Ugh. I wish you were here to serve it with me! but i feel sort of like i did in 5th grade...bad. and we both know i'm a good girl, always.
SO ANYWAYS, I've decided. we are GOING to road trip to see each other this summer! no buts about it!
I would just like to point out that number 13 says:
13. kids think "gay" is an intelligent adjective.
while number 8 says:
8. the guidance counselors are nazis and tell you things like "oh, think realistically. you KNOW you can't get into an ivy league college."
Why is it that you find it offensive to call people "gay" but yet it does not occur to you that it might be equally problematic to call someone a nazi?
hmm, i wonder who posted that comment. could it be someone connected (and probably always will be) to the iowa debate community? could it be someone who likes to constantly be condescending and belittling? thank you for your anonymity, but your character is evident with or without a name attached to it.
i apologize if you are not who i think you are.
in response to your question, the nazis relinquished the right for their identity not to be discriminated against when they, um, commited a genocide. Homosexual people never did anything wrong, yet their name is used in place of any old derogatory and demeaning word.
no no no, i definitely didn't think it was either of you.... i KNOW both of you would own up to what you say. but yes, aaron would say something that stupid. i really don't remember the last time i've heard somebody try to defend the nazis.

Don't worry, I have enough balls to just say whatever I want. Although I am condescending and belittling.
