Got denied by Edmonsen and Dube. Booooooooooooooooooooooooo.
So Jenny comes home raving about Challenge Day and about how everyone cried and she had an awesome group and how she made so many new friends. She also said she wrote some letter or something to me? But I only had one thing on my mind and me being the bull-head I am, told her.
"What about dad?"
And she turned around and didn't answer.
THIS is why I have so little faith in humanity. You can go to all the ******** bully workshops you want, but in the end it all comes down to one decision: be the better person or be the shitty person you always were. YAY CHALLENGE DAY. Except everyone comes back and nothing changes and they still try and ignore the blind kid because they'll catch the retard bug and people hate the gays because they'll catch the gay and all the people buying class rings are supposedly doing it as a physical way to show their richness as a snub to the all the dirt poor bastards in the school.
THAT'S what they need to tell people. Not to cross lines and cry on each others' shoulders and hug and ask for forgiveness with a microphone. People need to GROW SOME BALLS AND STOP BEING AFRAID OF EVERYTHING.
Then Jenny told me I wouldn't understand because I wasn't at Challenge Day and I just smiled a pretty little smile because that's exactly what everyone else keeps preaching. smile

ASK YOURSELF in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity..." - Rainer Maria Rilke

its like, you know how we were talkign about how everyone has that one big secret that they dont' really share with anyoen a lot. Well this is where you tell that secret, where you confide in 3 or 4 other people who you probably barely know, and by telling them this you create a bond between yourself and these people. its just tryign to get people to realize, liek what we've realized, that everyone has major problems, no matter how perfect they look on the outside, and in this way, we are all relateable...and human.
you want big change, everyone does, but thousands of people don't just wake up one day and say "hey, i like gays now, i'm going to let them marry." It starts with things like this. I knwo I'm a better person for going through challenge day, and that shoudl be enough to deem this necessary and worthwhile.
You're tolerant and nice on yoru own, and that's great, but some people aren't, and those are the people who this is aimed towards. And you telling people to just "suck it up and learn how to be tolerant on your own" is almost as bad as Jake oh telling me that people shoudl just "suck it up and beat up the bullies if they're getting picked on, and if they can't then they're pussies."
And what annoys me most is people who preach challenge day is a cult, a brainwashign experiment, a waste of time. Yes, we're brainwashign people into being tolerant, nice human beings, sounsd like a waste of time to me.
