Not really quite news.
I haven't been up to much lately. I mean...I haven't been dillagent in attending class. Truancy has preoccupied my mind. But luckily 'I was sick' still works, with out a note even.
Aaron has been queefing over GTA. Go him.
I went out with Debra and Annie for the first in forever, we went to play DDR on Saturday at Gateway. i haven't played in such a long time, it was fun to play again though. I might want to go again super soon so if you play DDR and you read my journal and you're in Lane county we should go together.
I went to this screening of a new documentary called Lord Save Us From Your Followers. It was made be a Christian guy who wanted to find out why people were so turned off by Christianity. It is the simple fact that the majority of the Christians that non-Christians interact with are... BAT SHIT CRAZY. Concept! If found it entertaining.In reflection I don't think it isn't religion or faith that gives us the ability to be kind and love one another its the fact that we're all human that should give us this capacity. Do I think that the Evangelical Christian movement is destroying America? Yes. Can the Christian community that isn't bat shit crazy change this? Yes. They just have to be louder because, sadly, the crazy one generally have the louder voices. The showing was hosted by Campus Crusade for Christ (yeah...I know). But I know a couple of girls form HamStaff who I would consider to be quite good friends. There was a discussion after the movie and the token 'non-believers' (which is degrading, no?) got to chat with the CCFers about our issues with Christianity. Its funny, I think that the majority of the time if you're in an enclosed box with people who share your beliefs it is almost impossible to see what is really going on. I told my lovely stories of being bullied by 'good Christian kids' in middle and high school. Just how it makes me feel about everything. I think that maybe it got some people to think, but sadly I have little faith. But if I reached two or three people I think I did pretty damn good. After the discussion I got to talking with guy named Andrew and we ended up going to his flat and talked more. I was able to make jokes like 'Isn't that you have to be a member of the NRA to be a good Christian in the New Testament?' and he laughed. And played off the joke later. I didn't get home until 3:24 am.
Not much else is happening, my birthday is quickly approaching though.
