thank you to my friend joe who commented on my last entry. i don't have nearly as many readers as she does, but perhaps it's a good thing for me. that way, the whole world doesn't have to know that i'm certifiably nuts. i am envious though...
joe, you bring up a good point. it's not necessarily the seal hunter's fault, or the elephant poachers, or japanese fisherman, or slaughterhouse workers, or unsupervised troubled children who blow puppies up. there's always an underlying cause. whatever it is, it SUCKS. i don't think people should wear fur. it's disgusting. but, i have leather goods. and, i eat meat. how can i live my life without being so hypocritical?
how can i carry my louis vuitton bag without feeling like such a douch bag? honestly, i feel so silly that i even own one. actually, more like ashamed....
i'm not peta crazy where i'll go throw red paint on someone wearing fur, or be one of those annoying people who preach about blah blah blah....but, i love animals, plain and simple. i'm the person who sobs while watching animal precinct on animal planet.
i love fashion! but, how can i own cool articles of clothing knowing that an animal suffered for it, or some poor kid in india is getting paid a penny for making it?
i just want to do right, damnit. i just can't win.
today, i received 3 pieces of mail from the church of scientology. one brochure has this thing on the back that i've never seen before that reads "have you moved? if you have moved or if you are receiving mailings incorrectly, please contact the Address Section at Flag at (727) 467-5212 or via email at : flagsserviceorg@flag.org." flag seems to be the name of their retreat program. i dunno. all i know is that L. Ron Hubbard and his minions are behind this.
now, i've become a bit more savvy. i think it's a trap. i think if i call, i'm fucked. if i email, they'll have my email address and start sending me spam. WHAT DO I DO TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO LEAVE ME ALONE???!!!
last night, after 8pm, my house phone rang. my father sauntered over to the phone to look at the caller ID. GOD BLESS CALLER ID. it was from an area code 323 number.
"don't answer it!!! it's them!!! they call from all different area codes, dad!!"
he didn't pick it up and it went to the answer machine. they didn't leave a message, but they do this thing where they switch lines or something so that this music comes on. i know it's ALWAYS them when the music comes on.
they won't leave me alone. is this the way to exist?
