watch it...laugh.
They dodged the damn question.
"Do you believe EVERY word of this book, the Bible?"
Essentially this question was fielded to see if any of them believed in a truly Literal Fundamentalist kind of way.
As we all know, fundamentalists are fucking scary. Essentially they are extremist. Hence, FUNDAMENTALIST.
-No sex till marriage (sorry homos, shit outta luck for you guys!)
-No adornments a'tall. No curly hair. Don't cut your hair. Women shall not wear pants. Because we know only child-sacrificing babylonians do that! pft.
-Be fruitful and multiply...yes, please burden our overpopulated planet with even more kids. Who cares if you can afford them or support them.
Not to mention, it's almost impossible to believe and follow every single word of the bible. I know, I've read if not all, most of it.
That's why fundamentalists are crazy...they decide to take a select few crazy ideals and just focus so intently on those. "By golly, if I can't do every fucking thing to the T I'm gonna be good at what I do take!"
-shrugs- They all dodged the damn question. They just wanted all the religious right to be assured in their pretty little heads that their candidates read the damn bible and have their name on the attendance roll of sunday school. The bottom line.

If it's against your religion to work beside me in a workplace and not be able to launch a homophobic comment and send me packing because I chose to sleep with a girl.
Then it's against my religion to tolerate hypocrisy and self-righteous assholes. I want the government to step in and send all homophobes to "diversity camps" so they can learn to play nice with the rest of the kids in the school yard.

working an average of 19 hours a week at $9.50 = $145.00 (after government interferance)
$145 x 4 weeks = $580
generous monthly allowance given by parents = $400
Total Income: $980
Monthly Rent = $424
Electricity bill = $50 (in my dreams)
Cable = $60
Anniversary gift = $60
Sister's Present = $60
Last Month's utilities owed = $190
Groceries = $20 x 4 weeks = $80
Gas stipend for girlfriend = $20 x 4 weeks = $80
Total Expenses = $1004
Doesn't include all the lovely bills my parents pay (insurance, cell phone, gas card or personal spending etc.)
This is bad. I'm not getting enough hours and it fucking SUCKS! I've told them that this isn't a hobby, but that this is my career! This is all I have to make money at and they give me 18 hours?!!!
I've signed up for substituting but I'm always unavailable when called. -sighs-
When I added everything up the first time I didn't even include groceries, or gas stipend for Jessica and it was a horrible number that I came up with.
Thank God my mom has a cushion fund for me but I refuse to go to her or to my savings just because I don't make enough money. Thank God I have Jessica who supports me and helps me through all of these stark realizations. I love her terribly and I don't want to be a leech off of her.
I'm below the poverty line and that sucks. I'm a college graduate and I'm making less than $1000 a month.
I love Talbots and I know its the company for me...but the hours suck. They hire too many people and don't have enough hours to budget around....
-sighs-
I don't even have money just to spend on luxury items like clothes or eating out or entertainment. It's not that I'm misappropriating my funds, it's that I don't have sufficient funds for my expenses. AHHHHH

Love - stress from work - stress from graduation = wouldbe amazing happiness!!!!!
I <3 Ikea.

Guess who had their ipod take a flying leap into the toilet?
Me. :( I even went in after it and peeled off the neoprene skin and wipe it off.
I thought it was still working. Then it did the frozen screen of doom and so I'm still trying to revive it. So far nothing is working.
-bangs head- without fail, every year I end up needing a new one.
Now I get to live without one till I can save up enough money to get a nano or what have you. -sighs-
edit: I think I've decided to get a refurbished 1st Generation nano from the apple site. They have a year warranty...and that is how long it'll probably last and it's only 10 bucks more than the new shuffle.
I thought about the shuffle...but having no screen drives me insane. I use my ipod more than anything, cell phone included and I use it in the car as well...so not being able to see what's going to play when it's going to play is a bit annoying.
I'm still thinking. I honestly just need something that plays music...maybe I should go old school and get a CD player........nahhhhhh.
to shuffle or not, that is the question.
This is so sad.
edit edit: It's working again, for now. I'll keep my fingers crossed. That's a huge load off. :)

You are a fecking moron. You imbicile. I'm sick of you...
"Well, if Congress has a better solution to Iraq, then by all means we want to hear it."
Um, hello? STUDY GROUP RING A BELL?!!!!!!! >.<
You are so thick, I hate you.
That is all for you, Mister.
Now...It's cold down here.
And I say "PUH!" to ice-covered cars.
I brandish my plastic kitchen spatula of might and my luke warm spray bottle of justice and I roar my dominance!!!
Oh, random picture. Hey, I'm a Southern Texan. Freezing rain and icicles are a huge deal!

I saw Rocky Balboa tonight with some of my family. It was great, not AMAAAAZINGGGGGGGGGGG on it's own but it was really good. Me and Janae were shadow-boxing in our seats. The only girls in the group but we were the loudest.
"Don't get boxed in Rocko!!!!"
"Give 'im the old changeup, 1 2!!"
Haha, that was fun.
My Crumpler hymnbook cover for my Mac came in, I'm happy.

| figured out... |
[20 Dec 2006|04:04pm] |
It was time for an update.
I currently working as an indentured Christmas wrapping elf. I'm shackled to my table for most of the day, slaving away on present after present with only one measly 5 minute coffee break to keep me going. :P
I've literally wrapped over 50 presents, not all box-shaped either.
I know this is the last Winter Break that I will be staying so long at my parents, because soon I will have graduated and I will be living in the real world with work. Especially the kind that stays open on Christmas Eve most likely.
I've actually been hitting my bed before midnight every night and waking up around 8-9am, trying to get my sleep schedule normal for next semester and not missing out on so many things.
My mom's yorkie is an idiot. I call her Retard and make funny jokes about it. Now, I would never make fun of someone who actually suffered from said condition. To me, a retard is someone who acts stupid. Those people aren't stupid, to me.
Anyhow, this dog requires two baths a week on average and then you have to blow-dry and style her hair...while holding her on the floor with a leg-lock to keep her still. >.< Guess who gets to do that? Me.
I've started to renovate my room. The poor thing has been in a sad state for the longest. I actually have objects hanging on my walls, which is nice. I hate sterile white walls, they bug me.
I'm very excited about recieving my MacBook from santa and cannot wait to be reunited with it. At least my mom didn't make me wrap my own present. :/ I've done tons of research online, signed up for forums and tons of prepatory stuff to get me well-acquainted with the new OS. I want to use the machine to it's fullest so I need to be knowledgable. I've had over 10 years to master the PC, and I've done a pretty good job of finding my way around everything. I'm really looking forward to this challenge.
I go in to get my wisdom teeth out the Wednesday after Christmas. I'm very nervous. They reassured me that it won't be all that bad, and I believe it. Well, that and the .5 mg of Xanax and bottle of hypercodone. And the intensely small needle they used, compared to those that clinics use to bloodlet you. That helps a LOT.
I'm really trying to get up to Huntsville for the New Years because Elizabeth insists and I DO want to see her off.
I'm looking forward to my last semester of college and I intend to do even better than I did this semester.
All A's except 1 ill-begoten B that I really should not have had. Damn group projects. -sighs- Ruined my semester GPA. I'm really shooting for an overall 3.0 before grad. I could get it. I have to really score this next semester and I intend to work incredibly hard for it now that I have tasted it.
As of now I have an overall of 2.85. Awesome isn't it? From 1.65 a year ago. I wish I could've straightened this act up a long time ago, because it feels good to not wait anxiously for your grade report. Well, I DID stalk Blackboard but, that was because I wanted all As. :/ My parents are happy, and I'm mostly happy.
I'll be interning this upcoming summer, and I just pray my work ethic has taken a leap. Because otherwise I'm fucked.
My nephew, niece-in-law and great-nephew are in for Christmas and that is awesome. We are actually going to the Woodlands today to visit some of her friends, so yeah.
I'm happy with my direction.

Hmmm...Today's human sexuality panel was one of the most positive panels that I've sat on. I enjoyed everyone's questions and it seemed that there was a more even interest across our board. Usually theres one person that everyone shoves to get a chance to shoot questions at...but this time it seemed that everyone had information to contribute to that class.
I kinda want to take that class next semester, though if it's not required I'm obviously not going to want to take an unnecessary class.
I hope I get to travel to Germany this summer, it'll perhaps be my one guaranteed chance to get out of the US. It'd be awesome to do some networking for future job opportunities.
Oh, btw, I get tired of all these military recruitment ads.
My PPt presentation is complete...so that is off my back. Even though I had a case of verbal diarhea infront of a full class. -groans- She said we would pass, so that is all that matters for me at this point with this stupid seminar class with only TWO grades. Btw...I hate group work.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. Looks heelarious.
enough rambling.

The one picture that made it after 2 nights of halloween parties. Well, the only one that doesn't have me puking in plastic bags.
I need my dad to take a look at my own camera, which decided rather unconvienantly to muck up when I wanted to conduct a mini-photo shoot. :(
Oh, I was an emo vampire. Complete with my deCOMPOSITION book, black nail polish, black messenger bag, striped shirt and black converse.

[28 Oct 2006|10:20pm] |
Never again... :(
Baaaaad party. Fuuuucked up. The only positive thing being that I didn't have a hangover...
that being because I puked it all up into a wal-mart bag.
I had wanted pictures of my costume, but my camera decided to be a fucktard, so no delicious pictures of awesome fangs...They were awesome and I love that they are reuseable. I could wear them everyday if I choose. That actually sounds like fun, and they aren't that noticeable.
I might be going to a party tonight, but I'm definitely NOT drinking. nuh uh.
All the factors contributing to getting totally trashed...escalation major, unforseen.

The Prestige.....MINDBLOWING!
If you haven't seen it, you should. It's...the best mindfuck ever. It's up there with Sixth Sense....but less obvious.
I <3 this movie and will buy it when it comes out.
Amazing...I was just sitting there afterwards repeating over and over, "Wow...wow...wow..."
I suspected parts of it...but quickly trashed them, only to find out that I was pointed in the right direction but didn't go far enough. Damn, lovely movie.
-sighs happily- I'm glad I went to see it...even though I'm still all sickly and stuff. :( I feel like I have a fever. I hate allergies...
Staying intown this weekend for the Stonewall Party...I don't know what else to do this weekend. I kind of want to trek to the Woodlands Tinseltown and see The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D.

Reading past things is a bit disconcerting.
My cycles are crazy to view from the present.
This hyperhappy side makes me want to puke, but I know it was a reaction to the super-depressed time of my life before that.
I've leveled out to some extent. I'm a bit numb nowadays, not really letting anyone too close for fear of relenquishing that fragile control over my stability. I don't know if anyone is worth losing that, to be betrayed once more by that person you trust over all others.
-shrugs-
Sometimes I rather be alone and stable/numb than be with someone and in a constant state of stress.
