Happy birthday, msbelle! You're still the nicest.

I have a plan.
Not bad. Fair and dry, though a bit chilly at night these days. I had an interview for an interview for a copy editor's job yesterday. Settling nicely into the apartment and made plans to do some bike riding with one of my friends tomorrow.
How's things and stuff for you?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I really don't need 3 monitors that I'm not using, right?

Sounds good. Good luck on the interview.

Not too bad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Good. Thanks, amych.
The (albeit temporary) death of LJ has made me resort to cleaning. I can almost see my desk. At least in places.
Huh. I have cleaning to do. And I have work to do. But I don't see the lack of lj doing anything but making me disgruntled. If it made me more productive to have it down, then I would have to feel guiltier about the time I spent on it. Now if b.org went down, too, I could get some stuff done.

I just spent way too long reading Natter on the weekend because my stoopid work has installed nasty filters. I wasn't even reading during work, but was using the work computer. Sigh.
There is a small (I think) subset of the Christian Right that think the solution to terrorism is to convert Muslims to Christianity....
I think this just makes Christian terrorists.
Not so small, I suspect.
I think small, amych. Perhaps not in real numbers, but in percentages.
I mostly feel like anybody who finds tragedy a refutation of their god, simply hasn't bothered to think about their religious beliefs at all. Almost all religions arise exactly to address unimaginable tragedy. The Book of Job specifically addresses this. Buddhism's first notion is that life is suffering.
This has always bothered me, that people would turn away from God in tragedy. I had a really rough year this past year (although no where near as bad as these folks are having already), and had all sorts of folks from church coming up to me saying that they hoped that it didn't ruin my faith. I have to say, it had no impact on my faith in God. It was as strong and as important to me as ever.
It did somewhat impact my faith in my fellow human beings and to a certain extent my faith in the church. I think I might even have left the church for a while if I didn't have as many commitments there, but not because of a lack of faith in God. If anything, God became even more important to me during the most difficult times.
