Well, isn't that nice. >_>
I appologize now for my complete lack of entries for the last few months. I'm a busy kid now... -_- School, and now is terror-month for ToC members. Blergh.
What prompted me to make this entry is not a happy positive thing, reader beware.
Yes, we are all well aware that I'm not organized religion's biggest fan, especially when it concerns the Catholics. This is just another problem I have with it.
Today, as many sundays, my mother dragged me to mass. I dealt with it as usual by letting my mind drift and not paying any attention at all to what's going on. That is, until the Sermon by our deacon. He started off talking about the election, and went on to talk about how God will give us hope in the matter of the war in Iraq. This had my attention. I find this sort of hope very very amusing. So I kept listening. Dear deacon went on to talk about how "Hope is on the way!" And put in oodles of Republican undertones, including one that most people probably didn't pick up on: God will give George W. Bush the power and guidance to get us out of Iraq. That bothered me to a point where I almost said to mother, "I'm not going to listen to this shit" and left. Almost. Gah. I may not have done that, but after that sermon I laughed quite a bit and shook my head, and Mum didn't say a thing. I thank my lucky stars that mom is at LEAST not a conservative.
... In non-related news, in a week I'll be 16. Huzzah.
