i love time. its so glorious to not be stressed. theres the book report, but that wont be too troublesome. im close to done with angelas ashes. frankly, i think the biggest stress factor in my life at this time is that i kinda have to pee. ive been shoved back into the mindset that blogs are for writing down your thoughts and not telling the world what you did today. so heres my obligatory single-at-valentines thoughts. ready? go:
ive been single every valentines. so what? it a stupid holiday anyway. yknow what i did last valentines? i took kristen to the imax. we had fun. there ya go. yknow what ima do this valentines? nothing. its on a monday. puhLEEZE.
imagination, one has been going well. its really a good show indeed. please come. 8 tomorrow, 8 next friday, 8 next saturday, 3 next sunday. theatreworks. 8 dollars students, 10 adults. you know you wanna.
thoughts on giving up meat for lent: i dont think i like this. its hard. i eat more meat than i thought. no, allow me to rephrase. i eat more than i thought.
i hate food.
im skipping a lot of lines. i dreamed i smoked and it was scary. i feel like im older than i realize. there are things that i think are big deals that are apparently not. people should not be having sex yet. no. its too soon. people should not be doing drugs. jesus. why dont people think drugs are bad? do my friends think im annoying because i want them to be good? do they think im annoying because i dont pack a lunch? yes. those are things that wont change.
jesus, help me believe in you. i want to. and im trying.

I'm kind of glad I don't believe in Jesus.
I don't care that you beg at lunch. I don't sit with you. You might not want to mention thinking drugs are bad to those that don't mind them. I think some drugs suck. Some are harmless. I won't do them, probably. But it's other peoples' choice and being staunch in your opinion is not the most friendly thing to do if the person is not hurt by the drugs and is not likely to get hurt. I don't know. At the same time that they can respect your opinion, they can't appriciate it, so it can hurt a friendship.
Also, telling you my opinions that your certain not to agree with can hurt a friendship. don't be mad.
Sara, I hope that you can believe in Jesus.
but there are always some doubts,
that's the unfortunate thing about being so intelligent.
Eileen, Jesus WAS a real person, there's no question about that, there are records of his crucifixtion,
the question is whether or not you believe he was God.
You should read this book called Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, it's very insightful about all of this and looks at it from a secular point of view until it proves the existance of a God, it's quite good actually
also, try to keep in mind that not ALL of those who believe in Jesus are the douschebag conservative jerks who try to force their way of life on everyone
and I agree with you whole heartedly
but anytime you tell someone that they're doing something they shouldn't be, they'll get mad
beaver: I've heard some interesting things about that book but I think that if he actually proved god, it would have been a much bigger deal. I believe Jesus may have existed and I certainly think some of what he said involving compassion is great. I'm not even completely opposed to the modern day following (I do go to lakeshore). I, however, have reasoned the divinity of jesus out to myself and decided that it doesn't make sense to me. In any case, I'm not dependent on a savior character in my life. I really can't sum up the entirety of my philisophical beliefs into a blogger comment. If you want me to talk about them to you, I will, but not online. Wait until april.
DEfinatley a jew. but thats not the point. Sara i respect your opinions and you do have a right to have them. Even if i totally disagree with them. it doesnt matter.
Mere Christianity was a big deal. C.S. Lewis was a HUGE deal. He was an atheist until he talked to J.R.R. Tolkien one day... Right.
Personally, I have nothing to say for or against organized religion, but I don't trust it. I'm excommunicated through birth (my father is excommunicated), and I'm sick of all this bull-shit surrounding the church. Why can't they just see what they preach - We are all the same in God's eyes! So obviously, it doesn't matter whether you're black, white, pagan, Hindu, gay, straight... And I'm tired of people not being able to get along because some are Sunni and some are Shi'a... That's just stupid. It's crazy. I've seen the evidence for both sides, for nearly all the sides, and I don't agree with any of them... Fighting in the name of Never Ending Love is ridiculous.
- Hattie -
well,
no matter what you prove there will always be naysayers
give it a try, really
it's pretty intellectual
while your beliefs do sound interesting
I'm not too enthusiastic on waiting until April to hear about it
gah
Hattie, I really agree with you about this, a lot of messed up stuff has happened in the name of religion, and I'm as sick as you are of it causing this hate
I wish you would blog more
