better living through blogistry. so much to blog about today.
This morning I read through the blog of an old friend of mine (ok, an old x). She admits to having two blogs, but will only give me the URL for one, and I’m not suppose to post it, (sorry). But anyway, we haven’t kept in touch all that well. I was ashamed to find she’d been at it longer than me. (This raises some interesting issues… I mean, why should I care?)
But far more interesting issues were raised by her blog itself. If we shared one thing in common (in the list of things that failed to keep us together,) it was a hatred for organized religion, and she’s not afraid to show it in some of her posts. In general I don’t think I write enough about politics and/or religion. Last week sometime, yami and I had a conversation about why I hate thinking about these things (it was kind of a conversation stopper, now that I look back on it) and I decided it was because my opinions differ so vastly from that of the “norm” that I get frustrated easily. I shouldn’t allow that frustration to silence my loathing! (Her poetry has also improved since we dated, and although it lacks a certain crazy randomness I remember, it’s really quite good.)
The three day weekend update: Where I become a letch out at fest on Sat and Sun–also I have the revelation that fantasies I perceive as within (or very near to) my grasp are actually much farther out of reach than imagination would have me believe.
…Where I play Mario Sunshine for like 20 hours and get a wavebird controller from Nate for my birthday. Where I buy laura 3 different Kirby video games, including the one where you actually tip around your gameboy to control which direction kirby “rolls”.
…Where I have this revelation multiple times: “I own a house. I actually own one. Really.” And where I help Nate screw our storm door back on the front of our house, thus using the drill/screwdriver Laura bought me for the first time.
