Today on the subway a homeless woman asked for money and I thought to myself, "shit, if it's hard for me to find a job, a college graduate from a nice family with a Bachelor of Arts from a good university,  . . . then I can't imagine what it's like for other people..." 

One of my biggest pet peeves is when ignorant people with money say that poor people are lazy.  Ignorance is not bliss, it's just unintelligent and rude.

when i was a young girl

I was washing my hands in middle school, in the bathroom. I turned around shaking my hands and voom-- bully. She was really big. Really big. And mean, like a bully. I guess my wet little hands splattered her big body because she grabbed my blonde head and slammed it into the tile wall. I walked out with an egg on my forehead.

But, I don't know, I guess being class president had some perks.

I wonder where that girl is now...

and somedays I'm just glad to be out of the system. Unemployed or not.
