Last night (technically, anyway…) I went to see The Laramie Project with Cora, Jesse, and Justin B. It’s a play about the events and people in Laramie, Wyoming surrounding the murder of Matthew Shephard, a homosexual man. I don’t agree with all of the opinions voiced and agreed with by members of the cast, but I did find it to be thought provoking. While I believe homosexuality is a sin, I do not believe it is right for anyone, and especially Christians, to hate or generally ignore homosexuals. Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This does not excuse their actions. A person’s sin is not an excuse for anyone to sin against them in any way: thoughts, deeds, or actions.

On a lighter note, after that we watched 10 Things I Hate About You. Funny movie. I haven’t seen it in over three years, so it was fun to watch again. And now, I need to get hopping into bed.

One final note: Tracy’s birthday was yesterday. Whee! I hope it was cool for ya.

And now.

A Poem by Erundur Anwamehtar
11/06/2002

I reached out, took what I wanted,
and left you needing everything
I can never give you.
Stop looking at me, grabbing with your eyes.
I can’t help you now.

Walking past you used to be so hard.
My heart jumped and fell
when you ignored me� every time.

In the end I gave in and got your attention
the only way I knew how.
I manipulated you just like the other boys did,
and now I’ve won the game.

The tear trickles down the mirror,
seeing yourself for the first time.
Now you’re free.

So the writing which I did earlier today titled “Freed by Me” is meant to be a loud punk or rock song. It’s not really based on anything in my life, but more just a general sort of idea about things I’ve heard about in the lives of others.

Today was a fairly decent day. Classes and Nav leadership team went fine. No fire alarms or anything interesting like yesterday.

I walked out of the elevator onto the thirteenth floor. A bunch of girls were sitting in the lobby. I hesitated momentarily, then decided I’d walk to the other side of the hall and go down the stairs. Amy L. was among the group, but I figured it would be easier just to come back later and finish carrying out my covert operation. While I was about to disappear from the lobby’s view, a girl looked my direction and asked, “Whose boyfriend is that?” I kept walking and disappeared as fast as I could.

Why must silly things such as this intrigue me and cause me to run away and hide?

Studied for a test about five hours yesterday. It’s an hour and fifteen minute class. I didn’t even have enough knowledge to keep writing for the whole time. Blargh. Got less than half of my Japanese paper done for today but I turned it in anyway. Rough draft.

I got into Japanese for next semester. Whee.

I’m significantly tired and have more stuff going on today but all I really want to do is sleep. If you can’t tell how my day is going based on this post… (if you really are clueless, do the words “bite me” constitute enough of a hint?)

Last night was pretty fun. I managed to read a couple chapters in preparation for a test I’ve got on Tuesday. Circa 9PM, a bunch of my friends got together and we played some games and just talked till after midnight. I had a good quote… maybe I’ll post it here if I get it from Jenny or somebody.

Today’s pretty busy, so I need to go start studying and pounding my brain into the “study” mold. *push push push … splort* Whoops.
