I've spent the last two days taking part in drunken trampolining, Singstar tournaments, ninja training, 80s jazzercise, enthusiastic hammer dancing, and assassinations with plastic spoons. (Basically, the youth radio station I work for runs a camp every year. Shenanigans ensued.)
The bathrooms in my residence hall are freezing cold. It's a miracle that the pipes have not frozen yet..
Which reminds me. I'll probably make an ass of myself and forget to run the water tonight so the pipes will freeze. Because there's nothing quite like taking a shower only to hit the end of the tank. *spurt, spurt* "Huh?" *silence* Taps faucet. *spurt*
You know what's more annoying than a book narrated by an insipid teenaged girl? An insipid teenaged girl written by a middle aged man. At least when a middle aged woman attempts a teenaged boy, she doesn't come off sounding like an out of touch valley girl on Valium.
QuiverFull Articles This article...smh. "The more children there are in society, the more pro-life that society will become, and the easier it will be for the great evil of abortion to be eradicated once and for all." So... having more babies and advocating against birth control leads to less abortions how? "How this works is not difficult to understand. As children become more rare due to contraception, sterilization and abortion, whole segments of society become less and less familiar with the sense of joy and hope that only babies and children can give. In this climate, contraception and abortion feed on themselves, as the increasingly selfish few further reduce their number." So childless people are selfish and children are the only source of joy in the world...? Okay, Quiverfull people. Okay... Have another child to help populate heaven. "The child that you and your spouse have been generous in accepting from God was created to return to Him, after a life of love, service, and obedience on earth, to spend eternity with God in heaven. Our Lord Himself said that there was plenty of room for those immortal souls. There is no overpopulation problem in Heaven!" Well, gee. Okay. Pop out more babies so you have insurance that they'll all go to heaven...? Okay, then, Quiverfulls...okay.
So the girl I talked to today has a gay brother! It didn't phase me when she said he went to America with his boyfriend because I honestly thought she said boyfriends, as in guy friends! I should have asked her more about him and talked about LGBT issues. So after extensively stalking his Facebook, I finally found out that he is indeed gay and has a partner. It would bug me to no end if I hadn't found this out. Amazing day!
#9908! I'm thinking that I ought to start work on an essay right now, right now, because it's due tomorrow in about 9 hours' time.
I got home from work and decided that I'm feeling productive today and thus, will do the 3 things on my to do list. Since then I have been sitting here doing nothing for an hour being very proud of myself but I guess I should actually get some stuff done instead.
My friends boyfriend broke up with her, so we kinda went for a drink between classes. The conversation went something like this: religion > catholic upbringing > abortion > surgical abortion > surgery > surgery dangerous... Me: I had surgery once Her: where? Me: not telling Her: maybe a few more drinks Me: it was in August. *talks about experience recovering*. It was on my chest. Her: was it on your heart? Me: nope Her: I'm gonna guess what organ. Lungs? Me: nope. Her: windpipe? Me: nope. You'll never guess. Her: was it an organ? Me: no Her: bone problem? Me: no Her: tissue problem? Me: Yeah, I guess you could say that. Her: was it cancer? Me: No *she gies up* Me: maybe I'll tell you someday. So yeah, interesting conversation. I may well tell her eventually. We'll see.
