Red Cross

Published 31.8.04 by Porkchop | E-mail this post

I have decided to join the Red Cross.

No, it was for reasons much more than wearing a cute uniform to try and get military guys. In fact, I won't even get a cute uniform. I get a Wal-Mart style vest far too large for me, emblazoned with the Red Cross symbol.

But, I really want to be able to help people. The whole idea of being a EMT I think is still quite fascinating, but the Red Cross is a small easy start.

Frankly, investing in people is so rewarding, and I have been so selfish lately. Doing nothing to invest in other's welfare. And now that I have taken a interest, the opportunities are abounding.

This odd narrative is my life. I ended up in Pittsburgh, of all places--from the beach. I have no hobbies, other than cooking excessively and eating microwave popcorn. I enjoy shopping, the Food network, hiding the remote so the Food network cannot be turned off, find ethnic food stores and restaurants and reading voraciously. My life is decidedly pedestrian.

I worked in the car business where I was required to be ruthless and soul-less wench, which is when I started this project. Since then, I've kept it up because secretly, I've always wanted to join the military. Every male in my mother's family has joined and I quietly entertain thoughts of joining. I haven't yet and don't know if I ever will, but sending the troops cookies keeps me sane. it makes me think I still have a shred of human kindness left in my withering soul. it's a small way for me to salute the men and women who are brave enough to fight for freedom. And makes me feel like I'm contributing toward troop morale--even if I'm not. So if you want to help, send me addresses of troops you know stationed overseas. you may also contribute toward the cost of chocolate chips, but don't feel obligated, that link is here only by request.
