Pet peeves.
Being ignored.
One word answers.
People who eat like cows.
People who contradict themselves.
I really need a job or some way of making money. I just feel so guilty because my mom’s a single parent and she takes care of EVERYTHING for me! Sometimes things can get tight and I hate knowing that in the back of her mind she’s thinking “gotta send Jianna money.” I just don’t want her to have to stress. And I have been looking for a job but nothing. I don’t know what to do so I just sit with my thumbs up my ass. (that’s an expression right?)
I’m gonna start doing online surveys.
If I could even just make $100/month I’d be happy! I just want to some of the load off my mom’s sore back.
“Let’s get one thing out of the way: Mexican immigration is an oxymoron. Mexicans are indigenous. So, in a strange way, I’m pleased that the racist folks of Arizona have officially declared, in banning me alongside Urrea, Baca, and Castillo, that their anti-immigration laws are also anti-Indian. I’m also strangely pleased that the folks of Arizona have officially announced their fear of an educated underclass. You give those brown kids some books about brown folks and what happens? Those brown kids change the world. In the effort to vanish our books, Arizona has actually given them enormous power. Arizona has made our books sacred documents now.”
