behold, the power of cheese
Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
~Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Remember those commercials? They were for some sort of cheese company...but I'm not talkin' 'bout that delicious stuff that goes on pizza, your macaroni, and that comes in squeezy bottles of whiz. I'm talking about this cheese coming from economists. Not expecting that, are you?
All of a sudden they've decided we're in a recession. That silly little word everyone's been avoiding for the longest time. No, no! Don't use the word 'recession', for it has a power over us. It will make things change. And the worst part? They've decided that we've been in a recession for a YEAR.
Well thanks for warning us! How can it help, now? Giving it a name? It doesn't change a thing for the people who have suffered from it. And the worst part about the whole thing is that all the gaining the market did last week was ruined by the decision to name it. Why? Because people are stupid. They do believe that words can kill them, and I wish they would so that the stupid ones can leave...
'Recession', 'hard times', 'economic turmoil', whatever you want to call it doesn't change what it is. Things need to change and thank God, I believe they will. They better, I wanna be able to afford going to college!
Reach my prismic soul.

Hello world. My name is Sarah; what's yours?
I love: my long, teal, knit, fingerless gloves; being able to pack that many adjectives into one description; thinking; my awesome friends; my lovable family; the theatre--both acting in and watching; my iPod; classical music; Five For Fighting music; ...music...; "How I Met Your Mother"; Neil Patrick Harris; writing; papaya lip gloss; "Friends"; the interwebz; English Class; movies; awards shows; chocolate related things; New York City; Boston; Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert; telling people about the things I love (apparently.)
I hate: negativity (well isn't that the hypocritical statement of the century); stupid people; bad parents; thinking; my inability to fall asleep quickly; sunburns; touching/eating sea creatures; insects; my bangs separating; writer's block; sickness; my own forgetfulness; my own impatience; know-it-alls; IRKs; intolerance; static electricity; dirt under my fingernails.
Quote of the week:
"Yes, I'm grounded: got my wings clipped. I'm surrounded by all this pavement. Guess I'll circle while I'm waiting for my fuse to dry. Someday I'll fly; someday, I'll soar. Someday I'll be so damn much more; cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for."
~John Mayer, "Bigger Than My Body"
