I tried to draw a little bit today and...it just wasn't happening. It makes me kinda depressed. I used to love drawing. How did that change? Now when I do it it's like some awful chore and I'm just wasting time, especially when the picture doesn't come out perfect, and god knows I never cared a bit about that before. I have to be in some sort of blue moon mood to do it and halfway enjoy it.

So yeah, I'm going to be sticking pretty close to writing for now. Erm...sorry?

A couple of weeks ago I suddenly got an urge to check out apartments. I didn't get beyond the internet. It's official. I literally cannot afford to live on my own on my salary in Montgomery County. And I make a RIDICULOUS amount of money. More depressingness. I would have to get a roommate (and even then the money issue is dubious), and I don't want a roommate. That would negate the entire reason I would be moving out of my mom's and Howard's house. At least I like mom and Howard. There is a 99% chance I would hate whatever roommate I would end up with.

Well that's one of the reasons. The other reason is...I want a doberman. Well you can guess how many apartments allow those.

I just noticed that a ridiculous amount of my friends have pictures of their children set up as their profile pictures on Facebook. Also, these friends are all women. I don’t have any married male friends on Facebook, so do men do this or is it just the women? This really bothers me. It’s like women are still projecting their image and qualifying their being through their kids – like “LOOK I HAZ A BABY I exist now!” I don’t get it. Women on Deviantart that have children don’t put their babies as their ID pictures. Cause you aren’t your baby.

Granted, I have a cartoon character as my profile picture on Facebook, but that's because I don’t like being portrayed as an obvious female whenever I can help it.

Also, there’s this woman at work who keeps putting dish detergent in the hand soap dispenser. WTF?? If you want to use dish detergent on your hands and RUIN YOUR SKIN AND NAILS, fine, go ahead. The rest of us want soap.

Also, turn signals. Why can’t people just use them?

or Hello, I Am Depressing Journal Entry.

I saw The Cove this weekend. I wouldn't even have heard about it if I hadn't been flipping through IMDB's upcoming movies. It's a documentary about Taiji, a small town in Japan that slaughters thousands of dolphins every year, while supplying dolphin shows and swim with dolphin programs their show dolphins. If you've purchased a ticket to an aquarium, show, or program that houses trained dolphins, you have funded this slaughter (that includes me, and the National Aquarium's snooze-inducing dolphin show was not worth it).

I can't recommend this movie enough. There's also a website to read if you're not up for watching a movie that details animal abuse.

There is no reason for these dolphins to die in the inhumane way these people are killing them. Dolphin meat cannot (sanely) be eaten - it has toxic levels of mercury. In order for the meat to sell, it is being falsely packaged as whale meat in cities such as Tokyo. It has even been sold to school lunch programs in Taiji and fed to children. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg on this movie!! Seriously, see it.
