Identity is DEFINETLY my favorite movie now!
If you know me, you know I like stuff from the killer's POV, and stuff that screws with your head.(ex. "Others" "The Sixth Sense") I also like it when characters go through a lot of emotional turmoil.
Man, was "Identity" that and much more!
Identity RAWKS. -
More stupid Georgians.

Econ does it again. Here's my post:
Market Economy...
Put up cones and hire some people to guide the cars to a free parking space. It will be first come first serve, and selling tickets.
The way it would work is this:
The person is in the car and passes by a person or booth. They pay some amount of money and then are directed to a free parking spot.
The "tickets", however, don't really exist... You pay to find a parking spot. This prevents scalping, since there's nothing to copy. Plus, those who don't want to pay money, or do not have enough, will park somewhere other then the designated area, proventing the parking lot from being filled(by non-payers).

Notice how I say "free" ONE time, and that time I am saying "free parking space". Re-read that sentence. Got it fresh in your mind? Okay. Here's a smart ass's reply:
good idea. But you have a weird way of defining "free"...
I wonder how a "free" nation might work under your regal rule? Maybe you'd have the "free"dom of speech such that as long as they say only what you allow, they're "free" to say it.

Here's my reply back:
When I said "free parking spot" I meant "free" as in "it is not occupied".
=s

Obviously mr. Smartass doesn't understand the other definition of "free".
Being surrounded by stupid people trying to prove that the smart person(Who's atleast smarter than the stupid person somewhat) is stupid is just stupid. And annoying. -
Icing on the cake.

I don't like kendo, so I don't plan on going. But my mom pays in advance for the month, so it's obvious they want me to go. So, after reading my previous journal entry, and reading this one, you hsould understand how I feel about this.
At dinner:
Dad: "So, Q, I hear you're not going to kendo today. Maybe you should take that money and reimburse your mom for the classes"
Me(snidely): "You know, that's funny, because I offered to do that LAST YEAR.."
It's like he's going out of his way to try and make me look like an idiot, when he's just making himself look like one.
You're a GREAT role model, dad! -thumbs up and rolling eyes filled with sarcasm-

Last year, I had next to no money, and was willing to reimburse my mom for missing so many classes. So, I wasn't making it up, so you know... -
Money.

Okay, so here's the deal.
I got 500 USD for my bday from my grandma, which is purely astronomical, and I wouldn't expect it. My parents didn't agree with it, either.
So, I debate for a good few weeks on how much money to keep and how much to deposit(If I say "Donate" instead of "deposit", I'm sorry..).
I finally decided that I'd donate 300 and cash 200. Even though I only have 1 thing I want to buy right now(about 60 USD) I just said, "That's more than half, and if something happens, I'll have the money".
So, I finally deposited everything to today and stuff with my mom, and then I get home, and my mom says(infront of my dad) "Did you atleast ask your dad for some money advice?"
And I said "No, because I know what he'd say"
And she replies "What would he say?"
And I said "He would want me to deposit it all for future stuff, and have none of it in cash."
There's many reasons for that logic, and I'm not questioning it, it's just that it's my bday money, and MAYBE I want to spend some of it.
So, my dad and I get in a big argument(more like raised in voice "negotiating"... In circles...) About money.
He goes over the probs my bro is having because he didn't save money because he was young, and basically this money would burn a hole in my pocket. Which it wouldn't. Because I'm not like my bro.
Do I get a "Q, Thanks for thinking to donate more than half."
DO I get a "Hey, it's nice that you thought to deposit most of the money."
DO I even get a "Hey, I know how much money this is to you, I'm glad you're not spending it all in one sitting."
No.
No.
And NO.
It's just like... "You know, maybe I shouldn't have donated ANYTHING and spent it all on DVDs JUST to piss you off."
Because, it's like... I took time out to consider what to donate... And, well, he basically slaps me in the face saying I'm not cash-cautious.
EXCUSE ME, MR. KNOW-IT-ALL.
I am 16. I am old enough to take your ADVICE into CONSIDERATION.
Just because you're my parent, doesn't mean you have complete control over me. It only means that you can INFLUENCE(that's the key word. Look up the definition!) me.
You can give me "strong suggestions", but you can't say "you have to do this and this or you will cease to be."
Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

That's interesting....

I click "My journal" and it goes to my journal but the entries are a different color and my most recent entry is missing(the ad space one).
But when I click my name in the new journal entries links, it comes up just fine. Interesting....
And yeah, for all you people who didn't know, the ad space thing was a joke.
Like any of you would fall for it anyway! =p
