Weekend Overview

I started this entry with wanting to convey my innermost feelings with regards to my spiritual awakening and gifts. But I realized that He is not ready for me to share that with everyone. In time, in time.

I had a really fun filled Friday. I went outlet shopping, my sport of choice, lol. I scored some really cute items, and I was so excited! Then, Zach and I went to Neat in New Haven, and we gorged ourselves on half price sushi and beer. Ok, so I didn't even drink half of my $2 beer. But sushi was so delicious. Darn it, now I'm craving sushi, lol. It was a tasty treat! Erin and Renee stopped by too, making it even more of an enjoyable evening.

I really truly attempted to do homework on Saturday, but failed miserably. I went grocery shopping at Costco instead. I, like the other ladies, was fighting over the good steak,hehe. Ooh, and I went to Trader Joe's too (which I almost typed as Trader Hoe's when I was IMing Mimi, lol). Trader Joe's surely is no Whole Foods, but it will have to do for the time being.

Sunday was quite amazing. I went to membership class at church, and I met new people! Everyone was so nice! They all like to take me under their wing, hehe. After class, I rushed down to the sanctuary (they let class out on time for once, and I was so excited about getting to the service at 11!). When I got to the sanctuary, guess who was there? Zeus. I don't know how excited he was to see me, but I sat next to him anyways, lol. I went up to the front to sing for awhile (it's almost like being at a concert!), and then I went back to my pew. But there were tons of ppl there when I returned, so I had to sit at the end. But then a nice lady asked me if I wanted to sit by her, and I said ok. She liked my jeans too! (hehe, i hadn't worn the jeans in 4 months, cuz i forgot i had them.) So I talked to her a lot, because she was so friendly! She has a daughter and she's been going to the church for 10 years. But she looks soo young! I suppose I talked to Zeus a bit too. Pastor Brian went off on a tangent in his sermon, but it was a very interesting tangent. We're still talking about Psalm 23. He said something really interesting. He was talking to God, and he said something like, oh no one wants to hear a sermon on Psalms, everyone knows it, and then His response was like, no they don't, and neither do you, hehe. There were no sheep present at this sermon, like there were at the last sermon, but I was still thoroughly entertained.

Of course you guys are wondering what transpired between Z and me. Sigh, it was so bad. The conversations were light and very superficial, and I was so disappointed. You know how there's so many things that you *want* to say, but you know it's not the time or place to say them. And you can't really think of any time or place that would be good to say them. All I could have said, but I didn't even say was that I really liked his ensemble, very metro. Now let's say it again, "I can get my kicks by seeing the movie the New World, or by looking in the mirror." (that is definitely a running joke.)

I haven't been to 7-11 in over a week:(

I found an interesting article by Robert Jensen about white privilege a couple of days ago. I really liked it because it was written by a white professor, and nothing makes me happier than when a white person actually understands that they have white privilege. People always try to make excuses for their own, like it's ok that they haven't attempted to learn about other ethnicities, it's ok that they foster contempt for the ones that they do know about, or it's ok if they said the *n word. I like how this professor is helping his people understand that they do have privileges in this country that no minorities have had the chance to have.

Oh and I have a new favorite song, lol. At first, I liked the beat and all, and then I heard the lyrics to that I'm in love with a stripper song, and I was so laughing like crazy. I always blast my radio when it comes on, cuz it is thoroughly enetertaining.
