Still Alive
Okay, I am still alive, for those of you who wondered. I’m not depressed, though I did appreciate it when I was asked if I was doing okay. 
I am doing fine. I’ve just been offline doing stuff, and trying to download things at the same time.
I went to Institute last night, and before we went to Institute, we went to a mall in town. We went to get Jamie some stuff to wear, which was fun. Then I was able to convince Jenn and Jamie to go in Hot Topic while I searched for Twilight stuff. I got a Twilight shirt with a picture of all the actors portraying the Cullens and, of course, Bella on it. I also got a Paramore journal. Then we went to Earthbound, which was cool because I’d never been there. I got 2 rings for $5, 4 pairs of earrings–on 3 cards (buy 2, get 1 free - $3.95 a piece), and a ballet journal. I liked Earthbound because it reminded me of some of the stores I used to look through online that had to do with New Age stuff and Wicca. We found a Zen Garden, which I tried to explain the purpose of quickly.
I’ve also done some more shopping online–Harry Potter Blu Ray set (years 1-5), a DVD for my Dad for his birthday that I hope he’ll share with me, a Twilight calendar, 2 Twilight posters (it’s not anything more than a healthy love for a book and hopefully a love for the movie) and a Bible for my mom for Christmas. I actually ordered the Bible as a Quad (Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price) in Large Print and Blue/Silver because she gave me her regular version of the same thing when I joined the Church and she needed something larger to read, so I thought she’d appreciate that I was replacing the old one with a new one.
Last night at Institute, after being a bit disheartened by some things said by some people I know about how bad liberals are, we studied chapter 5 of Matthew in the Bible. It’s the Sermon on the Mount, which is something I really needed to read. In case you’ve never read it, it’s interesting because it basically shows that Jesus is a liberal. It’s about love and turning the other cheek, and it was just exactly what I needed. Of course, I couldn’t share my newfound love for this story in the Bible and my reasoning behind it, because, in case you don’t know, my church is not exactly a liberal one. In fact, it’s very conservative, so it kind of makes it difficult to be liberal.
Speaking of being liberal, I took some quizzes online and my scores ranged from Hardcore Democrat to Radical Liberal. (Their words, not mine…and one said I was more liberal than Ted Kennedy.) This is just a few short years after being told by some of the same quizzes that I was just barely liberal. What a difference a few years can make!
Oh, and I am thinking about getting my ears pierced again. I think it would be neat to have three holes in each ear, but I’m not sure I can convince my mom that it would be good the next time I’m at a place where my ears could be pierced again.

I actually love this entry.
Especially what you said in regards to Jesus being a Liberal. This is something I am constantly trying to tell people. I actually made a video about this very same subject. The video was a response to something I heard Rush Limbaugh say on his radio talk show…heres the link to that video, if you havent seen it.. http://lesterluigi.net/2008/09/an-open-letter-to-rush-limbaugh/
Yes. Jesus was both a Liberal, and a political RADICAL! I find it hilarious, and endlessly ironic that the Conservative Neocon Republicans worship the epitome of what they love to hate and make fun of. The absolute ignorance of some people never ceases to amaze me. Ever.
Would you mind giving me the link to the test you took that determined your political stance? I would like to take it to see what they say about me.
