Hmmm...

Just a few random thoughts:

I disbanded my religion on the basis that I figure that organized religion is bad. For those who disagree, here's my reasoning: You never hear atheists going to war and using their lack of religion as a reason to go to war. They never say, "Not having a god is going to help us win the war." Whereas people with organized religion use their religion as an excuse to go to war and say things like "God" wants them to win. Odd thing is that both sides are usually saying the same thing and how the same "God" can be on both sides is beyond my poor little brain. Also, I find that people belonging to a certain religion have a way of putting themselves higher than those who do not have a religion or have a different religion. It's not something they do consciously. I just noticed this because I went to see The Passion of the Christ with my Christian friend and her Youth Group and afterwards they were talking about how if they were teachers they'd make their classes watch that movie. People belonging to a religion don't seem to understand people who don't belong to their religion. Really I don't think they understand how uncomfortable it can be to be around. I think that such strong beliefs that are reinforced by a bunch of other people with the same strong beliefs can cause people to be close minded. This is not to say that I don't believe in some form of a god or that religion of this sort is bad for everyone, just what I've seen of it so far. I like to say that I'm not very religious but I am very spiritual. And that's that.

I get a major kick out of buying alcohol now that it's legal for me to do so. I love when they ask if I have any ID and then I whip mine out of my pocket. I still haven't been to the bar. I'm not overly anxious to go. I really liked the casino though. I think I'm a gambling addiction waiting to happen. :) I know that I do enjoy the racetrack quite a lot.

Cut out some denim today. Beginning to make myself a denim jacket. I've had the fabric for a few years now I think. I have enough denim for two jackets. One with a red zipper and thread, the other with a white one and thread. The denim is dark blue but one is of a lighter weight. I really don't like cutting things out. I'm never the outside size of the pattern and I don't like to cut to the part of the pattern that I am just in case one of the other sizes is needed so I have to try and follow the line underneath. I like making up my own patterns and sewing by hand. Maybe I'm just a freak that way. Oh well, it's not the first time that I'm freakishly different.

My friends are all starting to pair up for grad. We don't have prom here or homecoming. We just have a dinner and dance at graduation. I don't think I'm going to go with anyone really. I'm in a limo with some friends and one of my friend's dad is paying for it. However my friends are all with the grad date thing. I don't think that I want to ask someone just so I can have a date for grad. There isn't really anyone that I want to go with so it doesn't seem worthwhile.

WELL... This is getting mighty lengthy so I'm just gonna end it here. I should probably write more often so these entries are shorter. Sounds like a plan.
