hey guys,
omg i just watched the most disturbing movie ever. it was set in ireland in the 60's at this convent. i swear the nuns were evil. young girls were sent there for getting pregnant, getting raped, or even for just talking to boys. omg the nuns reminded me of nazis in the holocaust. and it was based on a true story.. aaahhh. i watched it with my dad. i'm not even going to put the name of it caz i dont think ne1 shld watch it caz it was extremely disturbing.
neways i'm calm i promise lol. but wow i was so scared. my dad says that his parents, my grandparents were raised like the ppl in the movie. it's hard to believe that ne1 cld treat their daughter like that. and that convent (the evil one in the movie) was real and it didn't close till 1996. it's just scary caz u picture nuns being all loving and nice and all but in reality they're not...or they didn't used to be at least..hopefully they're nice now. my dad says that when he was a little boy he was taught by nuns and they were mean. he only knew one nice one out of like 20. one nice one!!! it's seriously amazing what ppl do to each other in the name of religion. like i kno catholicism isn't like that now..but iunno i just can't force myself to be religious. i mean, i believe in god n stuff. i know that there must be some kind of higher power because the earth in it's detail is miraculous and so intricate that it's impossible for it to be just the earth. and sometimes..i know this sounds funny but i just sit outside when it's starting to get dark and starting to cool down and just close my eyes and it makes me feel safe. for me religion and going to church has nothing at all to do with that feeling. i want my kids to have some sort of religion in their lives when i'm older and stuff so i'll probably raise them as catholics but i don't think that i'll ever be able to go back to when i was a little kid sitting in church every sunday with my family and thinking that god was making noise when the bells sounded everytime the host was lifted by the priest, clear in my knowledge that talking to the priest was just as good as talking to god. i mean with all the trouble religion causes wldn't it be better to just be spiritual as opposed to religious. maybe then evry1 cld get along and there wld be peace instead of countries bombing each other and children losing their lives and their innocence.
sorry, this entry is really serious. i've just been thinking and then putting my thoughts into words here.
neways going to bed, hope evry1 had fun at the bsb concert!
luv u guys,
liz
