Goodness, third post in one night!

So now for the stuff of interest to those who actually know me and might be reading this in order to find out whats going on in my life....

Today was pretty nice. I slept in! After waking, I read The Great Adventure: Voluteer stories of life overseas which was both entertaining and pertained to my History Day project. My morning was spent relaxing. No personal conflict since I didn't check my email or Facebook. The lack of communication with a certain person certainly helped. Later, we went grocery shopping in Little Rock, which was fun in its own way. There's always something new and exciting going on at Sam's Club! We ate dinner at La Huerta's, which is a fantastic restaurant, and then we came home and watched Beetlejuice.

The low point of the day was when I had to email the person that I am definitely not getting along with. Our friendship had been tense for a few months, but it was not a big deal. The problem was that she was growing steadily more controlling until it erupted the first time over plans that I made that included someone she disliked. That made me insensitive. Similar incidents continued to occur. The issue is now to the point where we are not on speaking terms. Unfortunately we are still forced to communicate.

On the bright side, this particular relationship has put other issues into perspective. One particularly needy friend that drove me nuts last year is now a paragon of friendship. I plan on calling her up and planning some time to hang out. Other friendships that hadn't been as close to since high school for whatever reason are now being renewed. Aside from the one blemish, my social life has really improved.

Since it is now 4:15 a.m. and I attend the 8:45 traditional service at Salem UMC when I am awake for it, I am going to go to sleep. If I don't, we might end up going to the contemporary service at 11:00. Its fine, I just don't like it as well.

How does this even affect you?!?

In light of my lovely little political statement, here's a lovely little video clip.....

All I can say is...well, why do you care if Gays marry?
"Separate but equal" never works. It is always separate and never equal.

**This will not be a primarily political blog. I promise. :D

Blogging

Greetings to all.

So, blogging? We'll see how that works out--I'm not certain that I'm a blog kind of a girl. I am, however, willing to give it a shot as it allows me to more easily follow blogs (my mom's and my German teacher's... yeah, lame. but whatever....) and even post comments. :P

I am a high school student in Arkansas, I attend a local Methodist church, and I'm really involved in extracurriculars at school.
I'm all about acceptance and tolerance. I don't say the Pledge of Allegiance because I don't think that its fair to those who might not believe in God. Some might call me a radical, tree-hugging, pro-choice, pro-same sex mariage, pro-diversity, bleeding heart liberal. In German especially I'm everything from a hippie to a quaker. ;)
