I went to the YL focus group for club themes. We didn't do anything except watch the Presidential debate. Now, I will not put out any political commentary other than the idea that I am going to vote for Kerry. I am not super liberal but I honestly believe that he is the lesser of two-evils. So yeah. I thought it was okay to watch. Nothing super special. The debate was in the convocation center at the UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI which was my other choice for college. Just think, I could be a student down there instead of up here at IU.
Although I am glad that I am here at IU. There are so many awesome people here and I have just realized how incredibly blessed I am because it's so awesome here. Speaking of great things. Just got back from some fellowship thing with the other YL leaders. I don't know what the whole point of us gathering was, but it was amazing and nice fellowship. Filled up my bucket of love. Yay. But I definitely need to get my act together on some person things like more reading and quiet time. I am just being sucked in by college, not by alcohol/girls/sex/anything like that, but just by so much to do and I really just want to be able to stay focused and stuff.
We met at a leader's house that is on 8th street. It is in the perfect place to be on campus because it is right by the union and just an awesome house. And a lot of YL people live there and I want to live there next year because I just think it is awesome. We shall see what things come up.
I really want to watch "Angels in America" but I don't want anyone to be around when I watch it because I have watched the first 20 minutes and it is kind of a watch-by-yourself-movie because it is about AIDS and that happens to involve many gay people. I just feel uncomfortable watching it with other people, I'm not trying to say that I would be ashamed of knowing a gay person or that gay people should be ashamed, it's just really, really, really weird to watch that. It's like when you are 15 and you watch a movie with your parents and there is this awkward sex scene or something. Yeah, just awkward. Now you know what I mean.
Speaking of homosexuals, I read that the House shut down the amendment to ban gay marriage. I don't think that gay marriage is appropriate, but it's not my right to tell someone else what they can or cannot do. I read this funny thing today: "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. But God also did not give you the right to say what someone else can do with their free will."
AMEN.
