The Seven Deadly Sins Quiz on 4degreez.com

>DDD

Not to mention, all of the quizzes I take on what religion would fit me most...say I should be a neo pagan. xD My mom's side of the family would murder me if they ever knew I'm considering converting. Not because a bunch of quizzes say so, because it sounds like an interesting religion. I really researching more than contemplating converting.

Anyway, on with LYFE.

Registration was today. Here, I'll even explain le process of registration at Community High School.

Each class (grade, I mean. Like, 9th, 10th, etc) has an allotted time to register. Of course, freshmen are last.

We were told to arrive early and go to the second floor, which is where the Craft Theater (auditorium) is. Each person was given a number 1-116 (or however many students would be registering per grade; keep in mind, dual enrolled students [students taking classes at one of the big high schools and Commi] had to register at Commi too), and we entered the Craft Theater in that order. All the teachers were sitting at desks lining the walls of the room, waiting for students to come register. I made a beeline for my electives first, then registerd for my year long courses.

Here's my schedule:

Block #1: Spanish II
Block #2: Ceramics
Block #3: Mythology
Block #4: FOS 1
Block #5: Alg 2
Block #6: W. Civ
Forum: Hermanson

^0^

OMFG. I am becoming more and more obsessed with the song "Rise". Yoko Kanno is my favorite composer and this song is lykeWHOA cool. calistica heard me repeating it repeatedly when she came over a few weeks ago, didn't you? ;) That must've been real annoying.

*ahem* So, what are YOUR results for le Seven Deadly Sins?

Sorry about my last post. My excuse this time:

PMSing + Icky Algebra x Being pissed off at (No Child Left Behind + people who make me try food) = Very unhappy and pissy Ernie - happiness of getting through confirmation + (-no school on Wednesday)/ MEAPs

OMG I KNOW DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY OMG.



I got my Speech interview done. Definitely want to be a writer now. With a side job in the field of interior design. Cause I don't want to be a starving artist.

In case you couldn't tell by my oh so lovely equation, I was confirmed this past Sunday. That was really grinding down on my nerves. I was shaking as I gave my faith statement. CoCo would appreciate my prayer of the people ;)

"Please comfort and help the families of those suffering from cancer."

Little did the congregation know, I wasn't praying to their God. Oh noze. Frankly, God seems like a misognistic, hypocritical, vague, commanding, childish, yellow, old man. Jesus told people to "love thy neighbor as yourself", to "love your friends and your enemies" and "judge not, lest ye be judged".



Am I the only one who finds it hysterically, sickingly funny that all the people who froth at the mouth and shriek "JEZUZ LUVZ U!!!! OMG!!!" at everyone within reach, don't follow Jesus' main ideals at all? LAWLZ.

I'm thinking of making my own layout. I'm keeping the one calistica made for me on notepad in case I ever want to put it back up, but for now I'm going to use the format she uses (if that's okay?), and change the color scheme, phrases and picture at the top.

Ow. Typing up the title to this entry just burned a hole in my brain.

Well, today is a rant. Then an update on my life.

[calistica]...DEAL. [/calistica]

[random]I sure am having fun with these personality tags XD[/random]

Copied from the LHT on Gaia.

Ernie = Me
Beatrix = Friend on Gaia.

Ernie: I'm honestly fucking pissed at him for being all, "Christianity MUST be in the debate or there'll be no logic" Y'know, I'm Christian, but what the fuck? I recognize that my beliefs are simply that--my beliefs. I know others have different beliefs too.

Maybe I should throw the Torah or Qur'an at him. How's that for logic, bitch? >x

Beatrix: What pissed me off was when he was saying that if you're a pro-choice Christian, you're a bad one. Oh heaven forbid it's perfectly all right to be for capital punishment and taking drugs.

He's a fucking hypocrite.

Ernie: That really got me. I am not a bad Christian because I'm pro-choice. And he showed no backing at all for his statements either. Our pastor from the church we attended in Alabama is pro-life, but his wife is pro-choice. And I don't see him condemning her for it.

But I think what got me most was the "my-religion-is-more-logical-than-yours". Not only does it make Christians like me look bad, I have a LOT of friends who aren't Christian and who are very devout in their faith. To say that his religion, one that I am a part of, is better than others because he said so is a real slap in the face to me. My friends are NOT illogical or stupid or wrong for following the religion they do, and they also don't go around telling other people that their religion is better than all others. They keep to their beliefs.

And, from what I've observed, some of them get teased about being in their religion. That pisses me off to no end. Last year during Ramadan, we had to sit at lunch by advisory, and so this one bastard John was sitting with us, since he was in our advisory. Across the table from him was my Muslim buddy Mahsa, and she was, of course, fasting during the day. Well, John decided to tease her for all of lunch by waving his food in front of her. I was about ready to slap him.

*huffpuff*

Glad I got that out of my system.

Okiday, now for that update :p

MY SAILOR MOON REPRINT MANGA CAME TODAY. OMG PRETTY-NESS. :D

...

I have another Lit essay to finish. How fun.

So. Today I had confirmation. Yes, it is different from catechism.

Catechism is learning shit about the Bible and our homie Jesus and that old guy in the sky God.

Confirmation is...preparing for our (the ninth graders') confirmation service.

We had to come up with a theme, something we did at the retreat a month ago. Our theme was "Hearts on Fire", which actually sounded pretty interesting.

Until its symbolism was translated.

Apparently (this is illustrated in the Children's Sermon), it means "our hearts are on fire with a passion for Jesus and learning about him." Okay...

This is what angered me: "Some people's hearts aren't burning enough, and they need to learn about Jesus."

No they do not. If they don't want to believe in or learn about Jesus, they don't have to. Just because you think your religion is the truth doesn't make it so. Religion and faith are beliefs, which cannot be proven correct nor incorrect. So they are just that: beliefs. Nothing more, nothing less. People have their beliefs and faith because that is what they believe. Duh. So why the fuck are you trying to force YOUR beliefs on others? What makes your beliefs so special?

*huffpuff*

</rant>

*cough* On a better note, I am currently (as I am typing this up) working on my Lit essay, and it is going VERY well. I'm already halfway done with it, and I've only been working for an hour. :) So I expect my prophecy, that I would be up until midnight Sunday night working on it, to not come true.

Aaand....MICHIGAN BEAT STATE! IN YER FACE!

I couldn't resist xD

I nearly fell down the stairs yesterday when my dad yelled up at me that "WE WON!!!11!". I was at the top, and he startled me. :B

So...uh....
