Primo Levi

Happy Elizabeth? hahah been asking me for an update well here i go!
Iv been thinking alot the last 2 days and i think its time i face reality and close down CJ-ism the site, the religion will continue on but i mean you guys know what its about and what you're suppose to do! i mean its pretty simple come on! all you have to do is be nice to everyone and try to not bitch about them, and when i say bitch i mean senseless bitching like "omg did you see what she was wearing" because thats just shitty, but if your going to bitch about someone make sure its for a legitimate reason like "she used to be my friend, but then she decided to tell everyone my secret shes a bitch!" something like that!

hahah well yes my week has been rather interesting and very rollercoasterish and to my horror i woke up yesterday and couldnt remember anything from monday 3pm to saturday 11am so yes that was incredibly weird and scary because i mean sure forget and hour of time but i forgot 4 days! luckily for me i have a big mouth and i had told ppl what i had done in the week so thy reminded me and for the rest of last night i was able to piece together little bits and figure out what i had infact done...so yeah thanks to those people (Sez, Andre, and little CJ)

Anyway the title of this post is Primo Levi because it is the name of the book we are studying in english and its an autobiography about Primo and his experience in the Concentration Camp Auschwitz, it amazes me that the details of the book are so methodical and cold, but i guess some people to survive and relive something have to be cold and talk about it as if it were a science report. However the reason im talking about this book is not that of trying to sell it to you guys are get you to read it or whatever but its leading on to my next thing, on last monday we (3 year 12 english classes) were given a talk by 2 holocaust victims and they told us all about their experences in the camps and working and how they were captured, they showed us their tattoos their numbers, it was really sad to hear about all of that devistation and destruction and the fact that the ppl just seemed to let it go on. This is one of the reasons why i want to be in the defence force i dont want this to occur again! the lady Danka kept telling us about how lovely australians are and how we should protect our democracy and our society because the way that it is right now is how it should be and there will never be a genocide if we stay the way we are!
After the talk i went and spoke to the two Danka (the lady) and Telek (the man) they were so nice and you could see that just talking about it had such an emotionally devistating effect on them, i went and spoke to Danka mainly and i shook her had and she just burst into tears i just stood there holding her, that was a true gentle giant moment because she only came up to my underarms, but i did what comforting i could (although i got a quote from Euripides women of troy in my mind) and she just told me that australians have the greatest nature because we look out for our mates but we are also willing to help a stranger and she just smiled at me through the tears, i had never felt so totally shattered and completely empowered at the same time.. its was a weird feeling...

hmm just thought i would share that with you, i dont know why you probably dont care but it was something that touched me so i thought you might appreciate it...
