MY BLOG HAS AN AD. BY GOOGLE. Um, excuse me? Aren't I meant to be paid for that? Anyone else been experiencing this? How do we rid ourselves of such commercialisation? My anti-consumerismness is also on the brink because of Christmas. Hate these over-commercialised holidays. Ugh.
Irony: Today when picking up my little brother from primary school, my mum noticed a dumpster loaded up with perfectly nice, covered, primary school books. She asked my brother's teacher why they were being chucked out; something to do with the Department of Education being stingey and wasteful and not even wanting to give them to charity. So what does Mum do? Jumps into the dumpster and with mine and Tas' help, we load the back of the station wagon up with about 300 books. Yeah, they were in class sets and everything. She rang up this charity place after some Googling and she's going to take it to them where they can send them in Christmas packages for poor kids. If there's too many for that, they can send it to rural Aboriginal communities for the kids there. SEE. That's the real spirit of Christmas people.
