duct tape is my enemy this day

i forgot how much i hate pro-life day. i'm all for self-expression and protest, but, being pro-choice, it's just really awkward. everybody coming up to me and being like "hey, maddie, want some duct tape?" and then i have to be like "oh...no thanks...." and they re like "why not???" and i'm like "well...actually..i'm pro-choice...." and they're like "oh. *walks away swiftly*" i had that conversation about 6 times in the first two hours of school today. after that i decided it would be easier to just avoid the one-on-one awkward convos by shouting "i'm pro-choice!!!" every time i walked into a new classroom. that ended up working pretty well for my purposes. science was the worst. mr. idiot (as i've recently dubbed my science teacher.mature, i know.) decided to "enlighten us" on his views on abortion (you know, its taking a human life, its against the bible, all of gods children deserve a shot at life, abortion is murder in all cases, bla...bla...bla the usual) which was a bit offensive to the pro-choice agnostic in the room (moi). i don't mind when teachers share their opinions, but when they preach it makes me slightly uncomfortable/aggravated. mostly because trying to influence a student's religious views is...well...illegal. according to the constitution. but hey, its only the foundation of our country's government, right? no biggy. (could you sense the sarcasm there?)
on a happier (less controversial) note, the ink war was off today cuz america cant talk so i'm unmarked and very gleeful. it had taken a wee bit of an unfair turn what with her having 10 allies to my one and 20 bombs (3 of which were nuclear) against my 2 non-nuclear bombs. but today i got one of her allies to double-cross her and make her into a kitty using a black sharpie. muahaha. i'm not counting it as a win, though, because today wasn't technically part of the war. so the score still stands america:1 russia/japan:2 also, i was able to successfully rehabilitate japan after the bombing (aka: wash my face) so i look mostly normal again. woot.
