break all the fucking rules and go to hell with superman
easter is good because it's acceptable, even encouraged, to eat disgusting amounts of chocolate. luckily i spaced it out over the course of the day so i only feel vaguely ill. so we went through the annual ritual of the three heathen children getting dragged to church. upon completion of this idiotic routine, we retired to my grandparents' house, where i slept through the majority of the festivities (yay for three hours of sleep). we didn't do anything too mortifying or make my mom look bad in front of our relatives, as is the constant danger at family gatherings.
i hate going to church. churches make me uncomfortable, even pretty ones full of nice old people who are not openly appalled by my teenager's slouch and inappropriately baggy pants. when the bob saget clone of a minister was talking about having jesus in your life and moments where you're closer to god, all i could think about was going to shows and flinging myself against people in mosh pits. that and taking walks in the woods are the only things that make me feel - i don't know what to call it, but the atheist equivalent of what christians feel like. going and sitting in a church seems useless to me. plus, given my jitteriness around all forms of organized religion, i don't think i could ever have a proper religious experience, even if it weren't for the whole godless heathen thing. i'm not trying to insult anyone's religion here, but personally, something about it makes me twitchy.
