What's on your mind today?

[Chimera]

I was in the kitchen this morning making breakfast and accidentally knocked over some stuff on the floor (as I am prone to do). In jest, I turned my face toward the ceiling and shook my fist, "Curse you, Newton, and your theory of gravitation!" To which my dad said, "It's not a theory, it's a law." I then explained, with good humor and reason, the scientific definitions of "theory" and "law," and how they differ from the common, everyday definitions. My dad's head spun a little. He's one of those who has always expounded the common Creationist misconception that evolution is "merely a theory, not a fact." He didn't comment on that, though. He merely said, "That's stupid."

But maybe, just maybe, he'll look at evolution a little differently now. I can dream, can't I?

Had a random encounter with a girl last night . No not one of those! Dirty minds...

Anyway, I asked her if she was Christian. She said no but she believed in Jesus Christ. I figured I believe in the possible historical existence of Yehoshua in much the same way as Socrates. I pointed this out and also that Christ means messiah and that if she isn't a Christian she might not want to make that implication.

She asked if I was a Christian. I replied that I was an atheist. She didn't know what atheist meant. I told her. And she actually ran away! As in flee. With actual running.

I wished her good night as she disappeared round the corner.

In my world that's a win.

Great story! I think I would have died laughing.

Damn straight that's a win!  LOL!  

So at that very second, you spouted horns and a tail and a trident as far as she was concerned?     Yeah, baby!

Abstinence makes me so much.
The people around here are so brainwashed about it; it's like they've never heard of Planned Parenthood, or condoms honestly...

You probably live in an abstinence only area.  So you should have a high rate of teen pregnancies and be careful not to catch STDs.  Statics are my friend ^_^

[Heretical Rants]

Statics are my friend ^_^

Don't you mean statistics?

Where i come from, sex ed can be broken down into one sentence for guys. "If you have sex before you're married, it'll fall off and she'll get pregnant then you'll both die from STD's and go to hell."

female version- "If you have sex before you're married, he'll get you pregnant then your baby will have seventeen fingers and you'll die and go to hell"

Remember that whingy, needy guy I've posted about a few times? I don't have to worry about him anymore. We're no longer friends. I took him off my followers on Twitter and he threw a Bitch Fit at me via texts to my phone. He told me to 'Add another number to the box', 'Go die', 'Go fuck yourself', and that I'll 'Be alone forever'. I spoke to a friend who told me he had a Big Discussion about me with him that night (happened on Saturday when I was in Bundoran) and Ex Friend went 'Unless Hat makes the first move, I'm not doing anything or speaking to her ever again'. I just laughed. Ex Friend has twisted my words on two occasions, has made me feel terrible for not going out with him on multiple occasions, and now that he's told me to go die and all, I don't think he'll be hearing from me again unless we're shoved into a group for class work.

I originally thought this would come between me and my other guy friends but after I randomly exploded on them about it, they told me that they felt he was 'dull to be around' and that all he ever does when he does speak is brag about how many achievements he has on XBL. I'm relieved to know that it's all cool between me and my other mates, and even happier to know that I don't have to worry or think I'm strange any more :'D

Off Topic; I need to post more often grr grr

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. I could just see it unfolding.

Classic.

Hey, wait a minute, that sounds like my freshmen religion class "Sex Respect"

Year 5770 has been wonderful so far!

That's an interesting calendar. I once spent most of a day investigating all the different calendars that have been used and are still in use on wikipedia. I don't regret it =).

That reminds me of the following quote:

Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things:  One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell.  The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love.  ~Butch Hancock
