I know it's corny, but...

I'm joining. It's about two blocks away from where I live, only $10 per class, a good excuse to excersize, and a better excuse to learn how to dance. I gotta somehow catch up with my canadian cousins, right? And it starts tomorrow, which is good because if I had to wait too long I would just find an excuse NOT to go.

Speaking of joining stuff... I joined the Red Cross! I've been thinking about it for all of last week. I felt awful reading and watching news about thousands of people dying and having their whole existence taken away from them; and the fact that I would be in some posh office in Malibu or in my home in North Hollywood complaining about how hot it was, or the price of gas, or how bad the driving was seemed so conceitful and disrespectful. I had to do something...

...don't worry Mommy. It won't cost me a thing, I still have my full-time job (they know all about it and are fine with it), and when the Red Cross flies me over to help with the survivors I won't be going into the cities that were damaged but to the camps and relief stations like the Astrodome and such. Completely safe.

I would be doing nothing with that time spent but watching TV anyway.

I am thankful for:
-Understanding parents who (pretty please) realize that I need to do this and support me even though it is most likely against their wishes for me
-Ice cream on a hot day
-My car to get me where I need to go
-Knowing my family is safe
-Knowing where my family is
-A house to call home
