I don't like: real-life conflict and real-life tears, and I don't like people who can't see the twenty million sides of an issue or a person or an event, I really hate isolation and being left out, and I don't like bugs and awkward silence and homework and high school mentality when it comes to judging the "social standing" of others and people who play to the anti-heroine stereotype that is BECOMING the damn stereotype and bad writing and bad angst and people who constantly make others feel stupid.

You either want to be known as someone who’s done something or you actually want to do something.
They’re not the same.

The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It’s very important to me, and I don’t know what I would do without those things.

The Prize Doesn’t Always Go To The Most Deserving
Irena Sendler
1910-2008
A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.

=( Rest in peace, Irena. You are an amazing woman.
You’re a good example to all of us, may you rest in peace.

She did not know the nature of her loneliness. The only words that named it were: This is not the world I expected.
