Normality.

I was just thinking about it today...
What defines normality?
Who is to decide what is normal, and what is not?
Like... Who deicded that being a 'prep' is normal?
What is so abnormal about being Goth? Emo? Punk? Scene?
Why are those people looked down upon?
Wen it comes right down to the fact of the matter, the clothes a person wears in no way affects who the person actually is.

If you take a 'normal' person, and dropped them into a group of 'weird' people, then the norm becomes abnormal because they are no longer the standard.

Even person on earth is different, no two people are the same, therefore everyone on earth is abnormal,
but,
In the way that every person is different, we are all the normal.

We are the same in our uniuqe-ness.
I'm thinking too much.

nor-mal [Nawr-muhl]

–adjective
1.
conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.

hm. I guess so.

Things could always be Worse.

Even when you think, you've reached rock bottom, chances are you haven't
and saying that you have,
complaining about being as low as you can possibly be,
That's like tempting fate, to come prove you wrong.
Things could always, be worse.
If you are alive, things could always be worse.
Because, if you're alive, you always have the chance to make things better,

no matter how much you try and tell yourself that you can't do anything.
That it's out of your hands.
If you are alive.
You still have that chance.
No matter what.
Life is the most valuble thing anything can own.
it should never be taken away.
The only thing in this world that is not okay to steal, is a life.

The tests came back.
My Grandma has Cancer.

Lots of stuff in this.

Well, I haven't updated in a while.
Because I didn't have too much to say, but today, I do.

I got home today, and learned that my grandmother was in the hospital.
She has a growth somewhere, and it as causing her liver to fail.

Now, I knew she was sick,

but I didn't have the foggiest idea it was that bad.

Apparently, she could have died if she hasn't gotten to the doctor when she did.

good news is, the growth is most likely not cancer.
She'll most likely be fine.
She should be back tomarrow, and be fine.
you can never be sure, though, can you?

Next thing,
Which is also bad,
I went to the store with my dad the other day,

and there was a nurse sitting at a metal table, with a line before her, to get your blood pressure taken.

My dad decided to do this,
So, he sat down and the nurse put that thing around his arm,

then she got a strange look on her face,
and asked, in a very serious voice
" How old are you?"
He told her.
She then told him that he needed to see that doctor immediatly
Because his blood pressure was extremely high
and he was at risk of having a stroke.

She then said, that the way it was,
he would be lucky to live 5 more years.
He called the doctor,
and he's going on high blood pressure medicine.
So hopefully, that'll fix it.

Intelligence.

Some people are surprisingly lacking in it.
The other day, I reluctantly went shopping with my aunt, because I needed knew lead, and she was the only ride to the store.

We were in the frozen section with the dairy and such, and she was talking to herself about how they needed cottage cheese, and that she didn't see any.

So I pointed to the wall of shelves that were filled with different brands of cottage cheese, that we were literally standing right in front of.

She then pointed to a brand and said " I usually get this kind, but all they have are the small ones." refering to one of the sections of the shelf that was empty. She then held up the off=brand version and told me that it was the size she usually got.

3 seconds later I picked up one of the bigger ones and said " This one?"
She said " No, I usually get teh bigger ones, but there are out."
It was the biggest one. The EXACT same size as the off-brand cottage cheese she had mentioned.
I could not convince the woman that just because it was on a shelf higher than it usually is, didn't mean it was a smaller size.

But she just could not comprehend that.
It was so fucking frustrating.

A Simple Gesture.

Something cute happened today, that I wanted to share.
So my grandmother has been sick for the past week or so,
and she was walking into the kitchen, dragging her feet.
My Grandfather, who was sitting at the table, noticed this and asked
"Awe, Are you okay, hun?"
She shook her head, and started back toward her bedroom.
As she was on her way he said,
"Is there anything I can do to help?"

My grandfather is 88 years old.
They've been together since he was 40.
That's like 48 years.
and I just thought that it was amazing.
That afer all these years,
He still notices when

She's dragging her feet.

That's all.

I beg to differ.

Someone told me that I was "too trusting."
Ha. Psh. NO.
I'm not trusting at all.
Just because I don't except to get raped/mugged/killed everytime I leave the house doesn't mean I'm too trusting.

I just haven't given up on people in general.
I don't think the human race is as corrupt has the media tries to say it is.
I think there are more good people on this earth than bad.
I believe that [ almost] every one has some good in them.


I dunno.
Maybe that's Naive.

but it shouldn't be.
