"I don't get it. I just don't get it at all.

Do these kids know that mutilating themselves will cost them? That scars, tattoos, holes in their faces, etc. is the same as taking money out of their pockets? That normal society looks at them with a healthy dose of skepticism? That employers will not hire them? That ( Read more... )

I don't know why I'm doing this.  I need to do other things, but it seems short:

I had an unexpected house guest for the last few days: Laura stopped by partially to visit a friend... and to visit me! 
I made a fancy dinner the first night she was here and a few people came over and played games, I think she had a good time!  Even though she went back with her friend to stay the night, she came back in the morning and we went ( Read more... )
