Not Your Average Jane

Since its been a week since I last did this I'll recap my week right quick... Monday - stressful day from hell... seems as though everything I had to do had to be done Monday.... Plus pack and stuff to leave on Tuesday... Tuesday drove home to Houston, hung out with my mom and sisters, went out for a piece of pie with Brody to celebrate his birthday, came home, discovered text messaging with my sisters and slept.... Wednesday, went to the mall, shopped a bit ate lunch with a friend and his roomie... Went home hung out with my family some more, rented Boat Trip (don't see it), and Bend it Like Beckham (very good), made stuff for Turkey day, the usual... Thursday ate lunch about 1 ish with mom and my sisters as well as mom's boyfriend John and my sister's boyfriend Mike, as well as Baby whose a family friend.... We sat around talking and eating for hours... Literally we didn't leave the table till 4.... Only then to move into the living room for another hour or 2... Friday, more shopping, this time for birthday presents for me... went out for my birthday dinner at Vincent's... Had the world's greatest margerita pizza there... I like margerita pizza but I didn't know it could taste so good.... Then my sisters and I went to see Love actually... Very, very good... Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, never a bad combination.... Came back to Arkansas Saturday in order to avoid today's traffic... Missed seeing Bleu at the Sidecar Pub though... Which I do regret, but I'll be spending New Years with him at the Firehouse so its all good.... Today, I slept late and started unpacking, ate, and was finally able to fully check my email... Which I haven't read since Friday... 112 messages in my Yahoo inbox alone... Currently watching Cats and Dogs, which is interesting to say the least... But anyway on the way back yesterday I had some interesting thoughts... As well as creating some.... unique road games... I made up 3 new games (that I can remember)... One was "Ew, what's that? - The Road Kill Game", can you guess the rules? :0) Another was how many 18 wheelers can I pass in 5 minutes.... Again self explanatory... :0) And the last was one you can play anywhere, Name that Tune... An oldie but a goodie for sure... :0) As for interesting thoughts here's my current view on religion... Yes I believe in some higher being that created humans and the earth (though in 7 days???), but I don't see this being as male or female (though my friend Sean calls him the Big Dude in the Sky), nor do I see this being as being a vengeful or angry god... I think that he/she is more like a loving parent or guardian angel... One who knows whats right for you and what path you should walk in life, you just have to trust and have faith that things will work out as they should (as hard as that may be)... I also believe that the Bible is wrong... From the feminist point of view its full of complete and utter bull about the role of women in history... Take Adam and Eve for example, Eve took the apple from the snake, sure, but snakes are phallic symbols and maybe she was horny, who knows for sure? But Adam, on the other hand, didn't have to take the apple... So why did he? We may never know... As for pets having souls, thats another load of hooey (as well as a bone of contention I have with most organized religions)... I think that pets not only have souls and go to heaven tehy become intergral parts of a family... And lastly, there's the whole homosexual issue.... Every organized religion I've ever seen has not wanted, not allowed or not advocated gay marriages or gay issues.... Which is just irritating, vexing and downright upsetting to me.... Seeing as to how one of my best friends is gay and I've debated the issue of religion with him for years... And I'm starting to agree with him, no religion wants gays involved with it... And they don't realize what they're missing out on..... Gay men are the world's greatest shopping buddies/confidante as well as not being back stabbing bitches (most of them) than a lot of girls I know (but not all)... Anyway thats about it for now, unless I wanted to write about a dream I had about a friend of mine's brother's ex roommate... Nah... Laters....
