Newsworthy Items
First, snagged from sp23:
I ♥ George Takei SO MUCH.
Second, I hear the day of judgment is upon us. I've seen a few billboards with the flames and the date and the dire warnings. As nnaylime pointed out, tomorrow is supposed to be the rapture, but the end of the world isn't actually scheduled until October. (And I probably don't make the cut for this particular rapture.) As a Christian, I have deep theological thoughts about this, but I think I'll save those for another time. Instead, I'm going to go with my smartass remarks:
1. If I were God, I'd be sure to schedule my big return for a date when I'm not expected. I mean, where's the fun in not surprising folks? And there's that proverb, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." So, if I were God, I'd be snickering pretty hard right now.
2. On the off chance that these folks are right, I'm really glad that I'll have the chance to watch the Supernatural finale, and that we won't be in Broken Bow. I mean, I would much rather spend my last night on Earth in my own home, drinking wine, and watching TV, while chatting with friends.
And maybe that's kind of a cool thing: I'm going to be doing exactly what I want to be doing tonight if it were my last night on Earth--and I wouldn't change a thing.
ETA: And look! Here's a handy flowchart on whether you'll be raptured. Looks like I'm screwed. Ah, well.
