Current mood: nostalgic
My siblings and I were debating over nuclear power earlier while watching The Simpsons and eating the puppy chow that I made.

We are weird people.

I said it was a horrible idea, my brother insisted it was safe and not that bad, my sister agreed with me but actually had the facts right.

I apologize for not responding to people on the messenger earlier. I left the computer on when I went to make popcorn and got distracted for a long time.



I received The Snowman for Christmas. It's an excellent (short and British animated) movie based on a very cute book. Both of which I loved when I was little and have looked for forever.

Anyway, I watched it today/tonight. I cried a lot. I don't know why. Yeah, it's bittersweet and yes, I cry about everything. I cried because I was watching my favorite movie from when I was little. I cried because I remembered the words of the only song with words. I cried because I remembered the motorcycle, the freezer in the garage and Santa wearing an apron. I cried because of the end.

I cried a lot, even for me.

This is getting a lot more personal and touchy feely than I meant it to be.

I love you all.

actually nuclear power is a lot safer now, Europe uses it widely without any problems, our people have a unsurmountable fear of it for some reason.

I cry a lot too but I bottle my feelings up more then I used too so I don't cry as much anymore but I know when I start going to the phycologyist I will start to cry a lot again and I will probably finally be able to let go. I cry every single time when I watch the Lord of the Rings Return of the king not because its sad because its soooo happy it makes me cry happy tears I just cant help it. I love you too Rachel!! I love you all!

well there are 2 types of nuclear power, fission and fusion, but only 1 is in uses, that is fission, the process of breaking atoms apart to release insane amounts of heat. This is the more dangerious of the 2 because of the radioactive byproducts it produces, 3 mile island is a good example of a meltdown that this results in.

fusion on the other hand is what powers the sun and the stars, shooting together 2 atoms to combine them and produce heat this way, it is MUCH less risky but we dont use it because we cant figure out how to harness it, but it doesnt result in any nuclear waste, and the worst that could happen is an explosion, but it would be no worse than a gas stations exploding or something of that nature, and it has a rapid shut down rate when that would happen.

so dont bad mouth all kinds of nuclear energy, you like the sun? well if you do you cant badmouth all forms of nuclear energy.
