Okay well since no one has written me yet (I'll atribute it to the chorus trip) I guess I'll tell one of my stories.
I remember it was sometime in the spring when I was 9 or 10. We lived in Lousiana and most people didn't know what a Hispanic was let alone a Puerto Rican. So they thought I was mixed. So after being called things like half-nigger and dark white girl I decided I'd better explain to my classmates where I was from. So I did, with the help of Angie, a girl from Niciruaga, Lam, a boy from Vietnam, and Alejandro, a boy from Argentina, we opened their eyes to it not just being black and white people. Sadly at that time many movies were comming out portraying the Latin woman as being a whore that was only good for taking advantage of.
So as I started Spring when I was 9 or 10 we were standing in the lunch line and a boy behind me grabbed me around the waist. I remember him whispering something in my ear but I can't remember what but his hands were beginning to roam. At that point I elbowed him hard and threw him on the ground. From there I can't remember much the rage took over and I remember someone had to carry me off of him and then I started crying.
We both got ISS but I had to complaints I'm happy to say that no one every touched me again at that school. Sadly now whenever I go into the lunchroom I always have a fit of paranoyia, and when a guy gets close to me I kind of act on instinct and strike him before I realize who it is. It's one of the many reasons I'm so closed up and defensive of myslef not a major one but one none the less. And that is my contribution to the cause. Here is one candel lit in the Sanctuary with a prayer attached to it hoping that no one has to go through that ever again.
Umm...sorry whiny girly not so serious text here:
Umm...Lauren wants $ for stuff(see Rose Path) and I turned the web upside down and prices are high and items are scares, and to add I need um somewhere in thoe household of um $600("ish"--quote Peter, who I'm sure would liek som cash to) but you know so not to sound greedy I just want $110.

I please I can make notebooks(and write), Peter can draw, Lauren can write(and draw), we're all just a bunch of starving artists so please pay us.
End Whine
