• ::turns on some dramatic music with a funky bass::
  Hello.  My name is Christa.  I am a teenager living in Northern California.  There have been rough times, smooth times, and times in-between in this movie of a state, a stage of a country.  This.. is my story.

  
  

  ..SO LAME!  I KNOW!  I'm just so awesome.  Toe-tall-ee tube-you-lair. Say it out loud, and it doubles as making sense AND as yet another reason of why I'm just such a loser.

  
  

  "Laugh out loud."  Why yes, I'll be hung up on that for a while.  Isn't this the third entry I've mentioned that already?

  
  

  ::someone in the audience shoots me::  Wait, I have an audience?

  
  

  I JUST SO REALIZED SOMETHING MENTIONED IN A COMMENT!  My banner is this GLOOMY THING about the torture but beauty of memories and is remniscent of stains of blood, and (with the exception of yesterday's entry) I'm here all jumpy and writing about reading braille (because reading braille is the frickin' coolest thing since tater tots, okay?) and actually thinking I have the nerve to try and pull off "toe-tall-ee tube-you-lair."
  
  Earlier today, I was looking back, seeing memories and events walk pass my eyes and either give me a hug or just slap me across the face, and so, people of the world, i have come to new enlightenment to...something:
  i am, in fact, the luckiest person in the world.
  You cannot convince me otherwise. Thank you to everyone that has helped lead me to this conclusion.

  
  

  And you are all lucky people just for the hell of it, because I would list details why one-by-one (outlined either by person or by chronological order, i still can't decide), but y'all just know it'd be endless.  NO, SERIOUSLY!  I WOULD TYPE IT ALL OUT!  You know I would. Pssh.

  
  

  I AM BOLDING THIS SENTENCE SO YOU READ THE IMPORTANT TIDBIT TO FOLLOW: Did anyone hear about the debt cancellation, which wipes out up to 55 billion dollars in debt for 38 of the poorest countries in the world??!  WELL, IT'S FRICKIN' AWESOME NEWS!  It was an agreement by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and of 184 world leaders, including the G8.  Anyone that signed the ONE Declaration should know about it (check your e-mail, kids).  I heard about it yesterday and got around to writing about it today.  Here's reactions of activists greatly involved in the cause from DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa), and an article on it by the Washington Times (link courtesy of ONE.org).
  Because where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die.

  
  

  Today's lesson: Right when you think you're making a fool of yourself, you realize that people loved and accepted you all along.

  
  

  i'm living a lie.. there's nothing inside

  
  

  Bye for now.
