Sometimes I wish this little journal of mine wasn’t quite so public. It can get me into trouble. Luckily I can rely on people’s general laziness, so I can write about them well before it comes time for them to become aware of my situation here and be reasonably guaranteed that they’ll never look through the archives for mentions of themselves. Odd, considering it would be the first thing I’d do when getting involved with someone, though it usually results in disappointment. But, I’m odd, because I thoroughly research everyone I’m ever even mildly interested in. I guess that’s just how I roll.

I’m a little sleepy so I’m rambling.

I changed to a template again. I don’t really know why. This isn’t any less ugly than my hand-made tentacle one. In fact, I think it might be more ugly.

Two weeks to the day, I end up at Bible study. Or whatever it is. It was agreed on that we would be looking for spiritually significant portions of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I’m a little unclear as to how this is a topic for a college age group of people but, after the initial boredom, I got to speak and then it was a little more interesting. I totally had to spell-check boredom. Bordom? What the fuck?

We’re reading through this book—which I would post a link to but my Copy and Paste has suddenly decided to stop working—called Walking Through The Wardrobe, which has only one customer review on Amazon and that tells you an awful lot about it. It’s written as if it’s trying really hard to be as extremely cool as possible, pandering to “weta-geeks” (WTF?) who are seeing LWW due to LOTR’s special effects, or something. I just don’t get it.

Regardless, after the initial boredom, there were some questions that started off kinda cool. “If you could walk along side any character in any fantasy novel, who would it be?” I don’t read fantasy, so I said Edmund because he did horrible things and is the catalyst for the entire RESURRECTION AND RULE OF CHRIST, I mean, Aslan, I mean, seriously, come on. I said it a lot more eloquently then that and then one of two barely-passably cute girls there looked at me with doe eyes and it was awesome.

I like writing when I’m falling asleep, it makes me sound awesome.

“Have you ever found yourself longing for other worlds you read about in books or watch in movies? What makes you want to go there?”

OK, well, this question doesn’t really apply to me because my world is interesting enough to entertain me. But, ya know, two good questions so far. The next one should be awesome for discussion.

“What hints or glimpses have you been given into the “otherworld” of God’s Kingdom?”

Where the fuck did this one come from? It was all like, “hello, fantasy world, this shit is fun and cool, reading is awesome!” and now it’s all like “HEY LETS TALK ABOUT GOD LEIK WHOA CMON!!”

Everyone clammed up, for real, for a bunch of Jesus freaks even the other people there actually were like, “Whoa, where the.. what? Huh? Ain’t it a bit early for this?”

So of course I was like, “Dude, leik, my entire life is one big glimpse into God’s Kingdom, cos leik srsly, I love living, fuck God’s Kingdom, imma gonna stay right here while ya’ll die, dig?”

And the semi-cute girl was like, “omg leik fuck me now shit yeah ur hot n stuff.”

And I was like, “hot damn, i’m fucking a chick in starbucks, this rules. oh shi.. she’s wearing a cross.. oh shi! i’m wearing a cross! i’m fucking while there are crosses involved! this shit rules! I LOVE JESUS!”

And she was like, “omg ur so big!”

And I was like, “omg i kno rite?”

And she was like, “omg more like i kno rite?”

And I was like “lolz ya rly!”

And then I woke up :(

God, that sucked.

Anyway. It was pretty gay.

So, of course, I volunteered to borrow the stupid book so I can read the next chapter so that I can easily read it out loud next week.

One thought: It’s funny to see that the kids I went to Sunday school with 10 years ago still clam up on religious questions just like they used to. It’s almost like they haven’t grown up at all. Or, wait, does everyone clam up on religious questions? It’s almost like everyone is afraid to expose their beliefs even though we’re supposedly in a setting where everyone is the same religion. It’s very odd. Maybe it was because of me being there. I don’t know.

I swear… I’m going to do a shit load of talking during this crap from now on. Nice that I have the book, I can prepare my answers far in advance. This will rule.
