The Half-Assed Attempts of a Fake Hippy

As I write this, my house is currently descending into madness. Due to the ridiculous, fad-friendly nature of my sister, we are currently taking part in Earth Hour. I use italics for a reason explained later.

Earth Hour is a WWF creation (not the cool wrestling one). It is an event where you turn off all lights and non essential electrical appliances for an hour to help the environment. Unfortunately my sister heard of the event from a friend. Being simple, they thought it was only lights. I felt it was my duty to inform my sister of the actual conditions.

I stated that if Nia was going to make us all take part, we should do it properly. To sum up what happened, Nia refused, Mum shouted at me, Dad feels the same way as me and stayed quiet. So now Nia is watching TV by candlelight (taking part?) and Mum is chatting with her friends on the phone. I refuse to take part in this pathetic attempt at "making a difference". What am I doing? Well I'm using my laptop (as you probably guessed), playing music and leaving my light on.

How can someone who watches TV, reads Twitter, uses iPod speakers and downloads iPlayer shows at the same time gain satisfaction by turning off a light for an hour. It's this kind of pathetic stupidity that infuriates me. Do they really think they are making a difference? Sitting around the TV burning candles. Did you know that candles are worse for the environment than lights? Of course you did, it's burning wax!

Sure my methods may by immature. But in a Comedian style way, my reasons are just and my point is valid. Not that that makes a difference in the eyes of a half-assed fake hippy.
