I was talking to smith last night. I was tellin him how I have grown so use to everyone here bitin and snappin at each other that I really don't even notice it. When it does stick out or is pointed out to me it was jsut fuckin funny. I couldnt stop laughing last night as I read the thread that Timmy zapped. It's weird becuase we have so much teenage violence now a days. Have teens been over exposed to this sort of behavior that we no longer react to it.

I use to get so upset as people were fighting on here it would make me feel sick to my stomach. No wit is funny. Is this good? Shoudl I really just get use to fighting and stuff is that even healthy?

My dad was cooking dinner tonight and he must have spilled something in the kitchen and he started yelling and cursing. This went on for about 10 minutes finally I oculdn't handle listening to it anymore and went back up to my room. By that time I felt so sick already that I jsut wanted to leave. IF my dad was always yellin and swearin and cursin and throwin shit would I eventually get accustomed to that also?

I'm almost done with my high school career (career thats what all the people at school like the principal and VP call it what a joke!) anyway I'm in 11th grade and I still relate better to middle school kids. recently I have become acutly aware of how much hatred there is around me. Comments and actions that use to piss me off to no end. Like when people call each other fags and when there is a fight in the hallway and stuff like that use to make me very upset. Now I find myself just standing idely by and watching and smiling with the other stoned dumbasses.

I have actually grown use to having people discuss how much dope they smoked the night before around me. Hell I don't even flinch when phillip and the kid behing me george are passin drugs for money between each other. phillip is a dealer. It doesn't even bother me. I am actually kind of interested to hear about what they were doin while stoned off their asses the night before.

Is this sort of desensitizing good? I mean should I really no longer be offended as people smoke and use chewing tabacco around me? It is so weird. Things I use to find revolting now are just like meh do what ya wnat. I mean it is not like I have suddnenly developed a need for alcohol or marjauna myself. but yeah it is weird..

People always talk abotu wnating to ban video games and computers games because the amount of violenbce in them is desensitizing them. Well I dunno I have never played a vidoe game in ,mmy life yet I find the samew thing happening to me. I guess it goes to show you dont need to seek out violence for it to affect you in the same ways

i am sorry i just rambled for so long. im gonna go now i have an english paper to write on my hero. see yas
love
andy
