i need to be on campus by noon, no joke, because i have lots to do. for now, i’m procrastinating and curling my hair because i have this new obsession with hot curlers.

anyway.

this is about to get serious. like religion serious. hold on.

eric’s mom is pressuring him to start going to church which, whatever, it’s cool. what isn’t cool is that she brought me into it saying that it’s important that i believe in god and i need to go to church WITH THEM. i don’t mind going to church with them. i wouldn’t consider myself full on christian…more agnostic than anything, but i think it’s wrong that his family would judge me based on whether or not i believed what they believe.

when i explained how i felt about god to eric, he was a little taken back. this is how it went.

"i believe in god, just not necessarily the bible or the way christians portray god. it’s more of…yes there’s a god, no it’s not my place to make up rules about stuff i can’t possibly comprehend."

i wasn’t raised in the church. i’m not baptised. i may have written all of this at some point. i think i have considerably better morals than most of the people i know who go to church. i don’t think not believing what everyone around me believes is weird or wrong. i think religion is another way to start wars, get money, and alienate a portion of the population.

but don’t get me wrong. i know there are some really fantastic people with even better plans to change the world and i respect and admire that.

on another note, i now have a tuesday morning babysitting job. it won’t start until next week and it’s only going to be like $35 extra dollars, but i’m hurting so bad right now that i’ll take it.

i’m gonna have to have a talk with my roommate about food. we agreed to share everything and it was working out okay, but since her boyfriend lives here and they are ALWAYS high which means they ALWAYS have the munchies, the food i’m bringing in is disappearing fast. i bought a gallon of milk and a box of cereal thursday night and both were gone by sunday…and i wasn’t home all weekend. i had two boxes of granola bars before i left, too…and those are gone. i don’t mind sharing food because it makes things so much less complicated as long as it’s fair. i can’t really eat most of what they have because i’m a glutard and i’m sort of a food snob. but yeah, i think i’m just going to casually mention it because that food would’ve lasted me probably a week and a half and when you’re broke that’s a big deal.

sorry this is sort of a whiny entry.

curlers out, school on.
