In light of a little bit of a revelation I had on Friday, helped along by Emily (props), I am tired of always thinking, in the back of my mind, "that's too personal for a blog." Inhibitions do not serve me well. Therefore, no more. My new rule is that unless A) it will actively damage something or someone that I would rather not damage or B) you don't want to know (meant in the strongest sense of the phrase), nothing is off limits here. I'm sick of hiding my thoughts because of my stupid walls. Anyway, I like myself less when I'm trying to protect myself. Which actually directly ties into that revelation I mentioned.
So, no more. This blog is as much theraputic as it is entertainment for others.
This also applies, to a lesser extent, to face-to-face interactions. So, those of you who I talk to on a regular basis, I think I may be done with that voice I do. You know the one. If you don't, then you won't miss it. Trust me.
Anyway, now onto some actual blogging.
Hmmm. Religion.
I don't have one.
And lately, I've been kind of wishing I did have one. I don't know why *exactly,* but I just want to be a part of something like that. Only problem is, I don't actually believe a lot of what most religions do. Go figure. For instance, I don't think I believe in God. More in an agnostic way than atheist... but still.
I'm leaning towards Catholicism right now. I feel somewhat attatched to it, just because I was baptised Catholic, even though I have attended 1 Mass in memory. Plus, they just make more sense than a lot of other branches. I dunno. Maybe I'll go to church for a while and see what I think.
I was actually planning for that to be longer than that, but I ran out of words. So on to other things.
I did volunteerish work today. I don't volunteer often. Actually, outside of Boy Scouts and The Crump, I don't think I ever actually have. Is that sad? Yes. But the fact remains. Anyway, I went over to East, and just stood at the door to a Christian concert they were having (which actually is what got me thinking about religion) and took canned goods for Love Chapel. I wasn't at the main door, so we only got a couple boxes worth, but the main door got quite a bit more. And, really, I just felt good. All I was really doing was greeting the people as they came in the door, taking the canned food, and thanking them sincerely, but it made me cheery. Cheery is good. Especially for me.
I feel like a good driver today... I've driven 5 times today. 1, for Drivers Ed. Went on the Interstate today. 2/3, to and from school. 4/5, to and from Pizza Hut. I'm still inexperienced and awkward, but I'm getting better. I haven't hit anything since... well. Actually, I guess I can explain the mailbox incedent now that I'm permit-ed. I was trying to move my truck into the driveway, because it was raining very hard, and the street was fixing to flood. My truck was on the street, and it doesn't like being flooded. Well, I wouldn't think. So, I backed up, and went straight into the mailbox. Snapped right in the middle of the post. And I kept going for another 10 feet. That's what the tire tracks in the grass said, at least. Anyway, there's the mailbox incedent. And I haven't hit anything since.
Anyway, I guess that's my day. At least, everything that wouldn't lead to damaging something I'd rather not damage.
