I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see

Feb 27, 2005 02:12

I've been so busy with trying to keep my temper under control and making sure that everyone is okay, that I've been putting off writing my thoughts on the Pope's recent declaration about gay marriages.

( Cut for being disillusioned with my faith. Strong opinions expressed about the Catholic religion. Read at your own risk. )

*sees Dylan in the kitchen, glances at the clock to see how late it is*

We really have to stop meeting like this.

*arches an eyebrow*

Insomnia is a beautiful thing. I had to finish a Psychology paper and check over Taylor and Meghan's homework before cleaning the kitchen. What's your excuse?

*opens the fridge, pulls out two frappucinos, hands one to her*

_gia_ February 28 2005, 09:05:28 UTC

You are such a mom. *pries open the frappuccino* I just couldn't sleep. A certain someone's doing enough of that for all of us right now. So insomnia decided to be my bestest friend.

*smiles a little at the mom comment*

Someone has to be. Mostly trying to keep the kids from going nuts and distracting myself from doing the same.

*sighs*

He needs to wake up so I can shake him. God, he is entirely too much like me. That scares the shit out of me. Taylor, genetics or not, better take after Connor.

Distractions are nice. I can't focus enough to be distracted by something. Except watching Dante eat, but he really doesn't do that very often.

I wonder if bad plans are contagious? If so, I think we've infected everyone now. Except Taylor. I think he's the only we know who hasn't had a really, really bad idea.

_dylant_ February 28 2005, 09:13:33 UTC

Don't jinx him please.

Wait. Hell freezes over, he took off from Angel's and lived in a warehouse in LA.

*sighs*

He really needs to take after Connor.

*sips his drink*

I keep getting restless and that is never good, so I'm just pushing myself till I drop. Only way i know to make sure I don't do something stupid.

_gia_ February 28 2005, 09:18:29 UTC

Dude, I think taking after Connor was the problem when it came to running away from Angel and living in a warehouse.

Just make sure you don't break into a million pieces...again, before you drop. You're such a pain to glue back together. *smiles a little*

*looks at her*

That obvious I'm close to the edge? Huh. I thought I was learning to cover it up better.

*leans on the counter*

It just never stops. I know, it's the way things are and I should be used to it, but it's getting hard to breathe, you know? Apocalypse, Powers screwing with us, club gets taken hostage, god of lust, Brooke dies, we nearly fry in Sunnydale, Connor takes a power out, Matt's in a coma.

My church has deemed I'm evil because I married Connor. Unreal. It's like there is nothing I can hold on to right now that isn't falling apart. Except school and Taylor.

_gia_ February 28 2005, 09:30:40 UTC

Dylan, the moment you stop talking is the moment everyone starts thinking you're gonna blow.

I know. I don't think you should get used to it. *shrugs* It's not something people should have to get used to. It sucks. Hey, that's not true. We're not falling apart...I mean, this crazy surrogate family. I know we're all going to kill Matt when he wakes up, but we're still family. No one can take that from us.

Um, wait, what? Church says you're evil because you married a Champion?

_dylant_ February 28 2005, 09:38:51 UTC

Have you looked at us lately, Gia? We're all walking wounded. It's like, I don't know, we're so young yet I keep forgetting I'm only nineteen. I haven't felt like a kid since I was only a little older than Taylor.

*shrugs*

I'm just cynical, I guess. I'm trying to shake it and find something positive to believe in, but I keep coming up short.

*laughs bitterly*

Nah I could have married one of the slayers and they would have been cool with it. My church thinks I'm evil because I married a guy. Haven't your heard? Gay marriage is the next new evil threatening our society.

_gia_ February 28 2005, 09:53:56 UTC

I guess I just don't see walking wounded and tearing us apart from each other. We've all had feeling like a kid taken from us.

Um, hello. I'm the cynical one, remember? *shrugs a shoulder, suddenly serious* I stopped looking for outside sources to believe in after about the third time I got shit beaten out of me...when I realized nothing I believed in was going to stop it, especially Mom and Dad. The only positive thing you can believe in is what you have at that moment. You have Connor to hold at night, and you know Taylor went to bed full in the next room. It's not a lot, and it might not last, but it's the only thing I can say because after the went out in Sunnydale that once, we so really can't count on the sun rising everyday.

Oh, the gay thing. I forget about that, sometimes. The other day? I completely forgot Des was half-demon. The Church hasn't seen real evil; they have to make up their own. Once you've fought the Powers That Be, you and Connor fucking is not on my list of evil that must be stopped.
