A few things do come up, but for me it always comes down to one thing: the loudest Christians are also the ones who are the most conservative and/or hateful. I didn't just use "and" because the two don't have to go together but when it's in the media, it often does. People attacking abortion clinics, pastors burning the holy books of other ( Read more... )

According to wikipedia, the rectory of all knowledge, the shortest story is called a flash fic. It has 6 words that convey the entirety of the story.

The next milestone is the nanofic, a 55 word story. Nanofics can fit onto a postcard and covey a full story. Each word has to have meaning and purpose in the story because there's no room for fluff.

 So I went to the Just for Jesus rally yesterday, and, just as I feared, the guy over it was definitely a fanatic. Even still, the rally was pretty good. There were these amazing skits put on about how Jesus saves and forgives and such.

There were also some performances from neighborhood groups, like cheerleaders, hip hop dancers, and choir singers ( Read more... )

So I broke my phone Saturday. Completely and utterly. As in it cannot be fixed or used ever again. Do Not Pass Go. Try not to shell out $200 for a new one.

I have cingular and insurance, so I can either pay $50 for a new phone of the same type, or I can wait one month when it's time for me to get an upgrade.

I'm waiting the month. I've been getting ( Read more... )

So today may just be the last day I get to be online for about 2 1/2 weeks. Main reason is what I've been meaning to post about: I'm leaving for Washington, D.C. this Saturday!!

It's for this Health & Medicine conference to pretty much see if I want to be a doctor. Now personally, I'm pretty sure the only type of doctor I would even possibly be is ( Read more... )

So I'm getting on here just so I won't die from the possible lack of it I'll have starting tomorrow. Haven't had a chance to comment on posts and stuff, but hopefully there will be computer in Florida with internet so I can. My gramps, lil cousin and I are going to Miami tomorrow. So looking forward to it!! I've never been to a beach before and we ( Read more... )

Not too sure why I'm posting right now, since I'm about asleep on my feet...or rather, in my chair, but I am. School began Thursday and I already have homework due Mon and Tues. These people do like to jump into things, don't they?

Anyways, the reason I'm tired: had volleyball practice today (and again tomorrow morning) and then went straight to ( Read more... )

Went bowling tonight with a bunch of people from my cell group from church (or youth group, if you like, but we're not all youth). It was really fun! Bowling is always better when most of the people can't. They're fun to laugh at. XD

I also got myself further into debt that I'll have to get out of once my check comes in. My friend paid for both my ( Read more... )

I'm just getting back home from my second night at a youth conference at my church. And it was so beyond SPECTACULAR!!!!! The first night was great because the praise and worship was on, and the pastor was calling out the people there for the completely wrong reasons (fi.e. or a girl or guy). It was hilarious! But tonight...OH MY GOODNESS!!! There ( Read more... )
