you completely erased me from your memory

I just spent my day cleaning my bedroom (much needed) and decided to clean my "memory box" as well. There I also kept all my saved receipts. I ended up throwing 90% of them, and loads of other things too. Sometimes you keep onto things, because it's hard to let go. But it's time to make space for new memories, I guess. I also found my old diary - and I must say. Re-reading a diary is probably one of the funniest things to do. I must laugh at my teenage behavior, at my several crushes, and .. well, just everything. I remember always wanting to grow up .. to be a grown up, and make decisions. Now, I would love to go back seven years and still be a kid. But I'm glad for my memories. I've had the best childhood ever! Enough rambling. Mum has left. I need to do some school-work. Instead I'm sitting here .. watching Youtube.

when will I see you again

I had originally planned to go to the mall today. I did however spend quite a while at school finishing some things with a group presentation. But when I finished up, and went out the school door, the sky was as black as charcoal. The time was only 5:00 p.m, but looked more like 8:00 p.m. Anyways the mall-plan was cancelled. Instead I think I'll finally let myself read a book. And probably help my mum pack. She's leaving tomorrow, and she'll be gone for over a week. Have a nice Friday!

Battle in Seattle

I just watched Battle in Seattle at school. And oh boy - it definitely managed to provoke me. "Activists arrive in Seattle, Washington en masse to protest a meeting of the World Trade Organization. Riots and chaos ensue as demonstrators successfully stop the WTO meetings" (1). This movie is based on actual happenings, but with fictional people. But plenty of it could have and probably did happen.

I quote: "A week ago nobody knew what the WTO was" "Now... they still don't know what it is. But at least they know it's bad". This movie doesn't really show why WTO are bad guys, and I don't have any numbers or statistics to show that it's true. And maybe WTO in fact helps to raise living standards around the world by expanding the world trade. However, if I'm not wrong, WTO claims that they're democratic. Everyone has an equal vote right? But the truth is, it's not. WTO is not democratic. According to BBC, "WTO is run by the rich for the rich and does not give significant weight to the problems of developing countries. For example, rich countries have not fully opened their markets to products from poor countries". (2)

And I promise you that I could've written a whole article about this. But I simply don't have the time to do the research and writing. But just know, WTO might claim that they are the good guys. And in some cases they might be. But everyone's got a dark side, right?

put your hands all over

I don't quite know what's happened to my clothing sense. I usually know exactly what I want to wear. But now I mostly feel like wearing my pj's. And did I mention that I resent my long hair? I feel like chopping it off asap. Oh, but enough with the nagging. Today I have (tried) made another presentation about John 3:16. Religions are amusing. So many out there, and so many believers too. Anyways, I've tried to force my friends to come up with Christmas wishes. So far I've got some shopping to do. And have I mentioned that it's soon Christmas? Haha.

you think you know people, and then they surprise you

Hello November! I'm looking forward for your challenges and events. I just bought plane-tickets today. I'm going to see my nephew, though it's only for a few days. I am going the day after my sisters birthday. My other sister will also be there, and she had birthday the 29th of October. So it'll be the perfect time to give some gifts. Now I'll only have to go buy some ..
