I’ve got the bulk of the party planned, it looks like. It’s going to be Thursday, the 9th. I would’ve had it tomorrow, on my birthday, but I just plain didn’t start planning soon enough. Bad Amber, no lazy. But anyway, I’ve got two things already going in motion. I’m having everybody come in costume, and they have to bring their favorite candy to get in their trick or treat bag. ^_^ It’ll be interesting to see what everybody brings. I already know what Jim’ll get: Reese Peanut Butter Cups. He ganked quite a few from my trick or treat bag last Halloween. ^_^
Is it a bad thing that I want to spend all my money, even though I haven’t got a job yet? The thing is, what I want to spend it on isn’t bad. I want so desperately to donate money to the ASPCA. Every time I see those commercials on TV, I wanna cry. I know how crappy a lot of pounds are because lack of funding, and I know just how bad people can abuse animals. I wanna help, but they don’t take PayPal, and I don’t have a credit card. And it’s not just the ASPCA with me, I wanna give books to U.S. children in need, or protect 10 shelter cats with vaccinations, or help provide school meals for African children. I even want to donate to those places that help children. You know the ones, they have annoying commercials on late at night, and you sponsor one kid and they send you a picture and everything. I’m going to have to save that one for after I graduate college and get a real job. Maybe I should look into volunteering. The only thing is, I don’t know where the nearest animal shelter is.
The important thing is always to learn. It doesn't matter what you're reading, what you're doing, as long as you're learning. Life is made up of stories, so always make sure to take stock of everything around you, and anything interesting that happens. It may someday make for a good story. But if it doesn't, it was still a learning experience. So go out, learn, live, and make a story worth telling.
