but compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright

What sweet lyrics. "Miserable At Best" by Mayday Parade.
My late-night forbidden phone conversations make me so much happier. I mean, I can't sleep anyway, so why not talk to people who can't sleep either?
I am full of indifference. What do those hissy fits teach you except how to cry? The futile the futile it outweighs the beautiful.
You know what I need to do? I need to start on the juju project again. That made me so fucking happy. Anyone who reads this who I've discussed it with, let's get on that soon, hmm? You're all so beautiful...let's do it.
It feels a lot later than 6:38 right now. I haven't had anything deep and insightful to say lately, mostly angsting and venting about things I can't talk about otherwise.
Yesterday was fantastic. I love International Day. We watched an hour-long video about Darfur and Mykaila moderated an amazing discussion about:
* Do you think that something like this could happen in a Western Country? Why or why not?
* Why is violence in Africa allowed when it would immediately be stopped in Europe?
* How effective is agreeing to an all African peace keeping force? Will they help or is it only help on paper?
* When does the international community have a responsibility to invade a country to protect civilians?
* That said the WHO estimates 150,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed does that mean we are obligated to stop killing civilians?
* Does it make a difference to have celebrities advocating for Darfur? Why?
* How does a western country choose where to send troops? Is it to protect its own citizens for global welfare or because the country has valuable something that is useful to Western country?
* Has the US become less effective in the UN since invading Iraq?
Regarding the first question, I brought up Native Americans and how genocide has, in fact, happened in Western countries. Not on a globally-aware scale, but it definitely has happened...massacres and reservations, essentially.
Anyway.
Homework time. Love.
