Which happens to be 7th grade. My school's numbering system is off from the norm.


Wow. Harsh.

That must mean that the size of the school building is small too.

It's a city block.

There are two reasons why I refuse to watch bootleg movies.

1. They're usually lower quality.
2. I like supporting art that I enjoy.

I have no problem paying for something I enjoy. Watching bootleg copies makes me feel like a thief.

I don't like the argument that it's okay as they already make so much money anyway. If you want to see it, they deserve your ten dollars.

I mean, it's kindergarten ethics, is what it is. If someone is doing you a service that costs them, you pay. *shrugs*
