Ok so it's been quite a while. I suppose I just didn't have anything to write about really. The lease on my apartment is up, and I got another one. It's a lot nicer than my last one, and the rents not too bad either. I'm supposed to be moving next weekend. I hate moving. Then again, who doesn't? Does anyone really enjoy moving? Of course not. But just about everyone from work is coming to help. Ben has a truck.....not that I have that much that needs moving. So maybe I just wanted to see Ben. Nothing wrong with that. Of course Sheena's helping too, so I'm sure he won't even notice me. Ugh. You know, if I didn't absolutely adore Sheena....I'd be forced to hate her. But anybody who really knows Sheena can't possibly hate her. Makes it so much harder. Although I don't think I could hate her knowing that she might have to go to Iraq any day now. She told us that her name's been put on the list, she might be mobilized. According to her, her name's been on the list before, and it was taken off, so it's not definite. I'm scared for her. People are dying over there. I don't want anything to happen to her. She doesn't seem too scared though. I don't know if she's just hiding it, or if she really isn't scared. I'd be terrified. People are always scared of the unknown, and Iraq is a BIG unknown. Ben didn't take it well at all. I don't blame him. Even if nothing happens, she'll still be gone for a year or two. That's a long time. I don't know. I hope everything turns out ok, I hope she doesn't have to go. I can't imagine what she must be feeling.

But that brings me to my original point. What is with these protestors at military funerals? Everybody's entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, and they're entitled to express them, sure....but how about some damn respect for the families of the dead? Isn't it hard enough for these people, losing their loved ones? Isn't it bad enough that parents are burying their children, they have to listen to protestors at their funerals?? That is so incredibly disrespectful and insensitive. These people are suffering enough, they don't need protestors making it worse. Do your protesting in Washington, out on your lawn, in your damn bathroom, I don't care. But have some respect for the dead and their families. what these people are doing is just heartless and incredibly offensive. You can make a point without hurting other people that way.
