Students for Peace: new THS organization, founded 2/11/03. Population: 8. Kudos to the Russell and Raju for taking some initiative to get the party started, so to say. I have beef with myself, though, for not speaking up. Meeting #1 consisted of lots of back and forth arguing, lots of bashing governments (both foreign and our own), lots of discussing the who and what.
Boy 1: Blah blah blah Bush!
Boy 2: Blah blah blah nuclear war!
Ideal Becky: Alright guys, it's obvious that there are quite a few opinions and feelings around this sensitive subject, but the real question no one's asking is, "What we can do as students to make our voices heard and to help our cause?"
So after about an hour of wanting to say something along those lines the meeting dispersed, and I was left with the bitter residue of knowing that I could have added some very intelligent ideas to the conversation. I mentioned it to Rowan, and he agreed that there should be a stronger leader with more focus (like himself!). I agree.
I'm pleased, though. I wont let those guys intimidate me next time... *Smacks self on forehead.* I want respect damnit!
So then I went to rehersal where my actions consisted of slacking off, comparing foot odor (mine's definitely the worst!), and singing one note. Literally.
