Music: Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Jakita Price is a nice person. On a related note, I feel like a mean person :P

After finding out that Jakita, not Chiquita, was a student here and not some random lady from Williamsport who made up a number on the fly (this phone number sounds so made up it isn't even funny. too many 5's), I've really been wondering what to do.

She actually called a few minutes ago after finding my entry adressed to the person I thought was running around in Williamsport dodging debt collectors. Looking back on that entry I would have taken offense myself. She was really sweet about it and now I feel like a total asshole.

This is probably gonna sound pretty dumb and self-rightous, but I really need to be more careful with how judgemental I can get. What if it actually was some lady in Williamsport named Chiquita who had made up a phone number? She probably would never have found out about that entry, but I still would have said some nasty things. I wouldn't know her. I'd be making a blanket character assumption based only on my interaction with ruthless people who were looking for her. I wouldn't know why she was in debt. Maybe there was a legitimate reason. Maybe there was an emergency. And I would have still said mean things about her.

I guess fortunately it was a girl named Jakita who goes to my school and was really cool about the fact that someone had made blanket statements about a situation they knew nothing about. She had more than a right to bitch me out, and I'm not sure if I would have had that kind of restraint. Thanks Jakita!

::sigh::Well. I think I'm just gonna shut my mouth right after I eat some crow.
