Makin' Whoopee/brownies
I don't know why I put such pressure on myself to update and then only do it when I'm ill. I've been fighting off a cold for weeks but I failed this morning/last night with a fever and now I have a blocked-up nose and swollen tired eyes and a gravelly voice. Oh well.

I can understand her reaction to death, sharing her faith. It's not a "Yay, I'll never see them again" for a Christian, if the other person is a Christian.

You know you're going to be together again, in a better home, as soon as things wrap up here. So you're just waiting out the days.
On the other hand, I can understand your anger over the "deserved it" line, if I understand correctly that the topic was rape. I think a lot of girls dress unwisely for their own safety, but no woman ever deserves to be raped. Dressing enticingly doesn't remove the guy's responsibility for his own behavior. Even if a girl walked around completely naked, it would still give no one any right to put their hands on her. It would be a stupid thing to do, because there are a lot of dangerous people in the world, but it still wouldn't make her deserve it. Some girls put themselves in bad situations by bad choices, and end up with horrible results. But that still doesn't give the guy a *right* to violate them, which deserved it implies. Other girls make all the right choices and still get violated. The guy is still guilty of his actions whether the girl makes the right choices or the wrong ones. Does that explain myself well?
