here i am once more....
so here i am once again... falling victim to the allure of the not-so-glamorous livejournal.com
As much as I used to adore this website, and as useful as it has actually been in the past, i've let my mind wander....and i haven't been on here in ages. Hopefully that will change.
so life is finally looking up....at least a little bit!
I'm in my third year at the University of Waterloo, majoring in Religious Studies (i'm still not a jesus freak...no worries needed).
I don't know why I'm saying this stuff, because most of you know that already....and I really doubt anybody is really going to read this.... but it's all good....I've (finally) managed to find myself in a [somewhat] stable relationship with someone who [sometimes] gives a shit about me.... and yes, I'm still highly sarcastic.
I still want to lose some poundage, and perhaps if i proclaim it on the internet like this it'll become easier for me to actually shed a bit of that. And don't tell me i don't need to....because i know i don't NEED to, but I would feel better about myself and i would be healthier....so shut the fuck up dudes. haha...
I'm in a Biblical Studies course on Wednesday nights (it's a requirement)....and there are a whopping 17 of us enrolled in the class. I'm about 98% sure that I'm the only one who isn't a hardcore Christian in the class, because when we had to write about someone who inspired us and then read it aloud.... I brought up my brother. And most of the class talked about Jesus, or someone who was able to "see Christ's light" in other people..... ......yeah.....about that? so when it came time to poke into each others' little paragraphs and say why it could be hard to be convinced that you should respect the person they spoke of..... I asked the guy who said Jesus for a concrete example.... and the I asked the girl who had seen "Christ's light" or whatever if using terminology like that had ever gotten her stared at, because people from other cultures may not have a clue as to what she was talking about.....
but this is where it gets entertaining....because I was actually asked to explain myself and why i thought my points to be valid! So, me being an asshole brought up Easter. If someone is from a place/culture where there isn't much known about Christianity (and yes, these places do exist), what is to stop them from thinking that Easter is a time at which Christians worship giant bunnies that shit chocolate?
......when your prof starts laughing and knows your name after the first twenty minutes of class, you know you're going to have a fun semester because you're the only one who is going to be able to verify your information.
To all of you first-year kids who live in St. Jerome's residence (but probably don't even know who St. Jerome is): Suck it. I'm gonna roll kids like you up and smoke you.
