Time to put my thinking cap on!

No classes today, yay! I can take the time to do some stuff around the house, finish my homework, and just relax

Last week a classmate gave me his me his Nintendo DS to borrow. The only Zelda game I haven't been able to play was Phantom Hourglass because it's on that system and I didn't want to waste money on getting one, so he let me borrow his

Oh my gosh. Seriously, I know how you feel. Back in high school, as you know, I attended a private born-again high school. Kids were constantly getting on one another for dating non born-agains. I was like "wtfbbq?". I still remember arguments over how I will not get into heaven or that I shouldn't be friends/date/socialize with so and so and that I shouldn't be going to such and such a church because zomigodz catholics worship idols.

People need to chill. I understand and respect your opinion on who you want to date and who you don't. In fact, I can only imagine how hard that must be on you. Luckily, I was born into a family who allowed me to explore religion on my own (honestly, I went from being atheist to wannabepagan back to atheist to my own mix of catholic/christians). I remember my grandma spazzing out, I forget exactly why, but there's some old catholic tradition that you can't accept the bread and wine when it's not your church (I still never found out if this is true or not because she's the only one who said this to me) and telling me I was a heathen for doing so. I don't understand people, I really don't.

Talon, one of my close friends, is pagan. Dani, my BFF, isn't anything. I never even THINK thoughts about if they will go to heaven or hell because who am I to say they even exist or what will happen to them. It upsets me so much when people judge others like that.

I honestly am totally embarrassed to admit that I am republican or catholic/christian because of the way they act when judging others. I mean, I know there are other good people like me who are accepting but those few people who are so extreme make it worse for the rest of us. It's why I don't attend church or college republican meetings anymore. I don't need to hear about how so and so is going to hell for having sex and so and so should be shot because they had an abortion, that's not my business.

And I have to say, most of my closer friendships (save for Dani) are those of my online friends like you and limeade. We may not talk all the time but I don't know what life would be like without you guys, and I don't want to know.

Oh and I forgot to add, Governator made me lol (or as much of a lol as one can do while without voice).

[witherwings7]

It's a very common name for him x)

Haha, I haven't heard it before...or maybe I have and didn't make the connection. I quite enjoy it.

My mother doesn't care that I'm not religious, she just doesn't want me to date a non-Jew. Warped priorities much? Heh

Right, I know you're a Republican and I'm totally cool with that. We might not share opinions on some stuff but we respect each other's right to have an opinion. People need to get off their high horse and realize that not everybody shares their world views.

I agree. I've known a lot of my LJ friends quite a long time, you included. I wouldn't want to know what my life would be like without those friendships.

Yeah, definitely, though I have to admit most republicans don't like me anyway and consider me a disgrace to them. *shrug* I didn't realize we weren't allowed to try and implement change (I said that and was promptly told to leave a meeting).

Oh and I totally forgot to mention, despite my distaste for some of the things born-again churches preach, they do that song and dance thing too. I love it. It makes me feel so much more uplifted and more spiritual than the somber catholic services I have attended, I mean, don't get me wrong but I believe we should celebrate life and not mourn death and that's pretty much what the main difference was between my two churches. I'd love to go to a Baptist Church as well.
