First of all, I hope everyone's aware of what day it is today. Believe it or not, a lot of people are still clueless about how terrible AIDS really is. A lot of people still think it's a disease that only homosexuals or poor people get. That's sad, isn't it? Thinking AIDS is a "shameful" disease. Because it's not shameful...it's something that kills the population of half a continent, from children to elders, it's something that destroys the lives of Europeans and Americans and Australians and Russians alike...it doesn't care about social status or sexual orientation, if it happens, it happens. That's the only word I can qualify AIDS with: horrible. And the only thing we should worry about is how to stop it, how to raise awareness so it doesn't extend at this pace any longer. It's out there and it's spreading like wildfire and it's high time we did something about it.
Ok, inspiring speech part over *sigh*
Yesterday was fun! In the afternoon, Marta, Nuria and Ale dragged me out, even though I was in a meh mood and we went to see the Christmas lights (lit yesterday) and the huge Christmas tree...we got showered with artificial snow and we almost drowned in the mass of people but it was worth it. City centre is soooo pretty. Even though it's still rather warm *pout*
I took some piccies but I cn't vouch for the quality, as they were taken with my mobile phone.
After that we went to the shopping centre, looked at clothes and had dinner at a Chinese (the paid for my dinner because I was penniless and I love them for that). A few of Nuria and Marta's friends joined us for dinner. They're a bit older than us (24-26) but they're really cool. I'm really happy I did go out in the end. I came home around 1:30 AM feeling way better about things...I would have had a pleasant day on the whole if it hadn't have been for my lovely first ex who felt like screwing with me a little. And why do I still get angry if I know exactly what she's like? Don't know. But if I tell someone there's nothing more I have to tell them in August, it doesn't mean I've changed mymind in December, so she shouldn't expect me to be all nice. *eye roll*
And then I'm the selfish bitch, of course. Well, I'm done shutting up to please people, I've been done with that for a while now and I'm tons happier like this, thankyouverymuch Alex.
If I were a selfish bitch, I wouldn't give a damn about her.
*sigh*
Today was filled with icon-making (after a good night's sleep)...I've still got a few more to do and then I have to start writing a fic I have to finish asap.
I'm busy even on weekends *gg*
So I'll see you all around soon.
(In this post I've combined being altruistic with talking solely about myself....odd, huh?)
