*sigh*
This truly bites!
Damn near a whole week off...even though I am the one who will get the most work this week.
Lazy, lazy week...
I posted a few letters to Jarneth, hope to soon get a response...damn military mail! It's SLOWER than SNAIL MAIL!!!! I kept having the song "Mr. Postman" running thru my head replacing "boyfriend" with Marine buddy or
Foamy Puppy or Ranger even replacing whole parts of the song with EQ references(I'm addicted to EQ, so what? Nyah!)
I hope they come home soon...we all miss that crazy Half Elf Ranger(EQ character reference) soooo much!
In other news...
Went with a friend to a memorial last night...by memorial I mean the equivalent of Passover Mass in the Catholic faith; not a sad type thing, but they are far from Catholic.
I kept waiting for me to burst into flames...I mean after a certain person called me WORLDLY, shouldn't I burn up in a church type place?
My definition of worldly is to enjoy the world and all it's gifts...
Hell, if they wanted to give up worldly things they should be more like the AMISH...you know, give up ELECTRICITY and MIRRORS???
There are some really talented ppl out there in the world, be they writers, musicians, painters, or computer programmers. If I want to appreciate their work, so be it.
I also LOVE walking around in a forest too, but there are so damned few of those around here anymore.
I love feeding the animals in the parks. If this makes me WORLDLY, so be it. They don't have to worry about lil ol' me anymore...If they weren't married to someone Bear appreciates hanging out with, I wouldn't have bothered.
Catmistress, you had the right idea to wash your hands of them.
Religion is fine, but going to extremes to the point of excluding ppl for their lack of beliefs and ENJOYING LIFE is insane. One will not go to heaven faster or more certainly by only hanging out with their own kind; exclusion makes one a very shallow limited person.
I believe that is how 9/11 started...a set of fanatics believing in something so strongly they were willing to murder thousands to prove they would goto heaven. As long as RELIGION and their followers are allowed to be CLOSEMINDED, we will never have peace. It's not some HEAVENLY CREATURE IN A TOGA that will save us, it is INDIVIDUAL CHOICE that will save us.
