We need to do fun stuff like that more often; the sleepover was still fun! I'm sorry to anyone I threatened to kill. Especially when we woke up in the morning and I was a tired Jackie.....Anyway, Yay Jesus! 'Kay, I'm done now. Next time I'll write something that has a point.
I want people to read this because I'm sick of this bullshit! This was posted in my blog today.
Webster Unabridged Word of the Day:Autonomy 1. independence or freedom, as of the will or one's action. 2. The condition of being autonomous or the right of self-government, independance. 3. a self-governing community.
Today, an influential kid (who I have a lot of respect for) named Adam spoke a word that I heard maybe once or twice: Autonomy. As I proceeded to look this word up and found its definition, I was surprised to see how much this word had so many similarities to the events of today.
My mom took me to school and she was telling me that my sister getting a lot of flack for dating a Hispanic. Until a few months ago, I was blind to the stain of bigotry. I am stunned by the crap she's getting; people threatening her, making comments to her face that are so un-called for. Her boyfriend Casey and I are not buddy-buddy, in fact at one point we were bitter enemies (we have a cease-fire). Anyways, when I didn't like the kid, (note past tense. I was wrong when I thought he would have treated her like shit and the one who was being the ass was me) it wasn't because of anything other then I didn't like the fact that an 18 year old was dating my sister, and the rumors that people told me. NOTHING RACIAL!!!! I am well aware now that he's a great person and I regret to the fullest extent for being such an ass.
My point is this, if you don't like somebody, race should NOT be the issue. Oh, and stop making stupid threats.
I know I have recently posted something to this effect but it needs to be addressed. Our high school and little Village of ____ has a huge problem with bigotry. The only difference is that we keep quiet about it because we don't want to hurt other people's feelings (quoted by an ______ Soccer Mom).
Conclusion: Being blind to differences is the best path to follow.
That's another thing I should bring up. People always make nasty comments behind peoples back. Not to sound paranoid but it happens to me a lot. Quite frankly I'm tired of it. I know I'm not an angel in this department but I wish others and myself would just knock it off and grow up!
So yes, I love to rant in my blog (you should see my journal!. it's a Pandora's box), but someone's got to do it.
Enough is enough. I wrote a letter to St. Meinrad exclaiming we have people in Green Bay who are interested in becoming part of the St. Meinrad staff next year.
I don't know how many of you will read this between tonight and tomorrow, but oh well. Monday is the Holy Day of the Immaculate Conception, and just a reminder that we're supposed to go to church on Holy Days. Nativity has a mass at 5:30 PM. (Hopefully I'll be able to go, :P) Also, I added some stuff to the sidebar that I found in the bulletin - they're having penance services and extra days for Reconciliation between now and Christmas. Just in case anyone's interested. Maybe some of us could go together? We could set something up, maybe. I will write a more faith-filled post when I am more awake, -_-
Opening: Mass at 5
Hour 2: Session one............ex. Pray or learning session w/ fr. John. Watch a movie then discuss (that would be a 2 hour) Study time.
Hour 3: Study time, Movie Cont. Some physical Activity or "ice breaker" game, time to chill out and do nothing. Dinner
Hour 4: Closing session, Last choices,
Closing: A prayer in the chapel..........go home
Well, so I wrote this blog post today. And in the last two minutes, two people have IMed me, one of whom said she cried. Go me? But the post is quite Jesus-ish in nature. Ryan, you'll like it for sure. Anyway, my click here and read today's entry. That's December 1st, for those of you who happen to be reading this Jeebus Blog of ours...not today. Yiss. I'm happy that we decided to move the Quest to once-a-month Saturdays. Our sleepover will be fun! Hopefully I can come to Youth Liturgy next Sunday...two of my cousins are having this joint....ice cream birthday thing. But I already missed it this week because I left all my homework for last night...meh. 'Kay, I'm done. Go read my blog, ;D
