the upside of anger
it turns out all that anger has a use, after all.
apparently, sohei and i won't be useful to the relief effort unless we're trained red cross volunteers. (that's what we may do for our vacation this year, ya know. i mean, we were thinking of going to new orleans anyway, so we may as well go anyway and do something useful.) so i've been looking into it, and i think i may join up. i have to talk to sohei about it, of course. and even if i can't help during this disaster, i can help my community any time. like their website says, think globally, act locally. the not driving may be a bit of a problem, but i will be getting my license soonish, i hope. and if sohei becomes a volunteer, too, i don't guess the not driving thing will be as much of a problem. we'll see. his track record on acting on things hasn't been fantastic. (sorry, boo, but it hasn't.) like that d.c. protest i really wanted to go to at the end of the month. i guess sohei thinks it would be bad if i got arrested or hurt or killed. yeah, i guess. it seems to me, though, that since i'm unemployed, now would be a great time to do stuff like this. meh.
oh, and my first week of grad school seems to be going okay. not a ton of work yet. it still doesn't seem real. but i'd better snap out of that mindset, fast.

tsk. you so crazy.
of course, sohei has been against the whole volunteering thing, so we'll see where that goes.

Do go through the Red Cross training. I've taken a few of their classes, and now whenever something comes up locally or not, I can get right in to help ... which is great.
i'd really like to volunteer... it may have to wait til a)sohei changes his mind about letting me do it or b)i get my license.
