Hold Me Back

Ok, so most of you who know me can say that I am usually a fairly docile person. But when I get mad...oh, man. I have a temper...although I don't usually act on it, I can get pretty mad. And, dang, if I'm not mad now...

So you're all probably wondering why I'm so angry. Go here: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/12499

I'm a major C.S. Lewis fan so what Philip Pullman said made me really mad. And even more so because three of his books are(were) on my Christmas list. I can see where he is getting it from, but I think he's reading way too much in to it.

New Stuff

Ok, so Joyce helped me out and put up a bunch of links and stuff on my blog, so now I don't look completely technologiaclly unskilled.

Thanks Joyce!

AH!

So, in English, we're doing all this stuff about the Holocaust now, and today we watched a movie/documentation thing on it. They interviewed some survivors and one of them talked about how she saw the Nazi soldiers taking Jewish infants and literally ripping them in half by their legs and then throwing them in a river. And I've been thinking about this for a bit, and I just don't get it. Maybe I'm just naive, or maybe I'm blinded by the way I feel, but I just can not understand how somebody could want to cause so much pain and suffering to anyone. It's driving me nuts, and I don't know...I just...I don't get it. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Usually I'm able to see both sides of an argument, even if I don't agree with one, but here...I'm drawing a blank.

This Weekend...

I had SO much fun this weekend! On Friday I went to the Verteran's Day Parade, which was fun, but very cold. I hung out with Heather, Kayla, Mike, and...Kayla's little bother(I don't remember his name). After that I went to Brianna's house because she was having a party. It was so much fun! It was Brianna, Monica, Tyler, Evan, Sarah, and Brenna, and me, who were there. We watched The Longest Yard and played pool...or at least I tried! And, ping pong...that was interesting! For fear of sounding like a love-struck schoolgirl, I won't elaborate on a certain event that happened(and totally made my weekend!)...cough cough cough...and most of you who read my blog already know anyway. So, Monica and Sarah and I stayed the night at Brianna's and were up till 3:30 in the morning watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...I love that movie!! But I was so tired when I woke up, because we were going go to the rake-n-run at Brianna's church and it started at 9:30 in the morning, or was supposed to. We got there at about 9:30 and we were practically the only ones there, except for Tyler and Erin. The rake-n-run was a blast. Brianna was throwing worms at people and I found out what happens to a leaf when a bee stings it...haha...I hit Sarah, I think a couple times, in the head with my rake, and Evan just about took out her eye. After we were done raking we went back to the church and had lunch and then played Guestures and, sort of, Scattegories. Then we found an old video from water ski camp in 2002(!) and so we watched it. It was hillarious! We all looked like we were about 5 years old! I was laughing so hard!! And then we watched a Christmas play that they did, which Charlie also found along with the ski camp video. I had such a great time this weekend! But now I don't want to go back to school!
