(no subject)
Good GOD shit has been busy lately! I haven't gotten to talk to much of anyone. Babysat the 2 year old for a few days, then preparing for my Nana's surprise birthday party took forever. The party was exhausting too, that side of my family is so loud and confrontational and combative: nobody can tell a story without someone else simmering impatiently, waiting to tell an even more impressive story. I can't stand that shit, I really can't.
Hopefully things will slow back down now and I can get back to chat and writing and all my quiet, peaceful pasttimes.
In other news, join me in rage: http://jezebel.com/5482688/you-make-men-want-to-be-sinful-blaming-the-victim-religious-pamphlet-edition
We have a van that travels around this area called the Repent or Burn in Hell van (appropriate, really, since those words are emblazoned in huge red capital letters down the side along with things like, "GOD HATES YOU: SINNERS, BABY KILLERS, WHORES, SANTA CLAUS, MUSLIMS, FAGS, DIRTY BABY KILLING WHORES" and the like. They periodically show up somewhere, usually in front of a bookstore or Panera Bread (hey, even crazy fundies have to eat delicious bread and soup) and hand out papers. Around Christmas they hand out my personal favorite, headed in a Christmas-y font: "SANTA CLAUS IS SAnTA(N) CLAUS" and proceeds to detail all the ways in which Ol' Saint Nick is Azazel, king of demons. They also recently began handing out pamphlets which tell the world about how Twilight is the devil and Stephanie Meyer is a devil-worshiping, blood-drinking whore of Satan. I have my issues with Twilight and SMeyer but I do believe that might be overkill.
LONG STORY SHORT: This is the kind of shit they hand out in conjunction with their more entertaining flyers, and it makes me want to blow up in their face every time. It doesn't help that the leader of this family (YES, family, from babies to elders, it's like a mini-cult) can't even let them all go to a local arts&crafts festival without all wearing goldenrod yellow T-shirts bearing the word "REPENT" in enormous hand-painted letters.
So yeahhhh, tell me your rage-tastic stories!
