Okay so I learned quite a bit about me today. I went to this "Purity" thing that Chelsea, Karah, Justine and Meagan invited me to and it was very interesting to say the least.
I agreed with a lot of things that they had to say but wow, some of the stuff all I could do was stop myself from laughing. It was this whole segment on "How far it too far?" In god's eyes basically. The woman had said "Well, too far is anything you wouldn't do in front of your father"..
Well, I don't know about you, but for most people it's like "I'm going to sit as far away as possible because said fatherly figure is intimidating" and i don't think that's a great philosophy to put your relationship on. Also, one of the girls there had been dating this fellow for a year now and they haven't kissed yet. I quite respected her for that, but also found it a little sad. But that's not why I'mreally writing this.
During the whole "after-discussion" I mostly kept to myself, which is very different because I'm all into discussions. This was different. They were all very..uhm, well, the older ladies were well...now how do I put this..
Condescending towards me.
I went through it with stride, and was partially involved, but heh..until the topic of Homosexuality came up. Imagine being the only person in a room of about 10 girls who completely supports gay marriage..wow, holy awkward. And today I learned that sometimes you just have to back down because some people will just never budge. I actually halted this discussion turning arguement because it was getting way too personal and heated. I was proud of that.
I also discovered the impact of real people. I find that if someone's had experience and hasn't been the perfect little angel all their lives then people are 100 times more likely to listen to their preachings then some godly character who hasn't commited a "sin" in his/her entire life. Oh silly.
I also discovered that I have very strong opinions, that I read people very well, I know how to make people uncomfortable quickly, I'm very good with discussions about people and their reactions and why they're the way they are, I'm open-minded to discussions and that I'm not too fond of debates, that my faith in people and god is a little better then I thought it was (I'm not religious by any means guys, don't worry. I got a lot of snide comments because of that.) and that I cannot stand people who are happy all the time.
Honestly, I almost shot myself in Dairy Queen/ the drive to dairy queen. Blahblahblah Jesus loves blahblahblah. Wanna go to dairy queen? What about Quizno's? Omigawsh how about subway?! TEEHEE WE'RE SUPER INDECISIVE. Omigawsh awesome! Awesome choice, everything is AWESOME. Blahblahblah save people from sin blahblahblah. Omigawsh sam *harps on my very bad language.* Not that I have anything against religious talks or overly happy people, to each their own. But holy s**t I've never had a stronger craving to shove my head in a blender in my entire life.
I also am waay better at opening people up then I thought. I sometimes, don't even realize I'm doing it until people spill things and I become that magical group of about 4 people that knows said persons deep dark secret. Oh yes, I know stuff. I'm not losing my touch, phew!
Wow, I'm so ******** good. And sacha's dead. sodead.
