10:36pm: Well I have to get my ass to bed, I have to help Mum tomorrow and she wants to leave the house at 8:30am, considering I didn't get a very good night's sleep last night I'm all ready tired so I'll have to turn in early so I can catch up!
Not much to report, although my poor stomach seemed to be sore (which was why I couldn't sleep well) I thought it might have been from the disgusting sight of my parents' dog having left a mess on the floor. But I dunno...
So I was feeling icky this morning but once I got to the library things were pretty good, more book covering to be done. Although I was only there for three hours. But that gave me plenty of time to get my application for the Lane Cove Library.
I've also got a job interview on Monday at Manly Council in the record department, exciting stuff!
( But I better get memeing and then to bed! )
In other news...terrible news! The Bill is coming to an end! How lame is that? I love that show! For shame, BBC, for shame...
And the 30 Day Meme!
Day 09 – Your beliefs, in great detail
Ooo! I've been looking forward to this one! My beliefs are a bit of a mismash.
I'm a Catholic and I enjoy going to church every week when I can. There's a lot of things the Church says that I agree with, but then there's two big ones that I don't, which are:
Women not being able to be priests
Homosexuals and other members of the GLTB community not allowed to marry or adopt
The first one's a bit of a no-brainer, there's no reason women shouldn't be priests, it may not have been viable in Jesus's time because of the lack of equality, but one hopes we've progressed a lot further than that! I think there's a lot of women out there who'd make great priests.
The second one is rather important to me, I think it's something the Church has to change its mind on, because if you're going to say it's an unforgivable sin based on what's in the Old Testament there's a whole lot of things that are a sin - including bizarrely enough wearing polyester! I mean most sins in the Bible have some sort of reasonableness behind them, but being against homosexuality is just plain intolerance and unfairness. You can't control who you love and love often leads to people bettering themselves and those around them, so to deny the GLTB community that opportunity is wrong. People deserve to be happy.
So I'm not conservative in that sense, but in other ways, I am, I'm not comfortable with embroyonic stem cell research or abortion, not because I want to punish people but because I think embroyoes are unique life and need special consideration because of that. I wouldn't judge, but nor would I be able to advise someone to get an abortion or have embroyonic stem cell therapy if they asked me for my opinion. (Why they would I dunno, but fair warning to them!)
I'm also not big on the whole 'converting the unbelivers' thing, I mean, one time these Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and I didn't really appreciate them telling me I wasn't Christian because I'm Catholic. Plus, I really REALLY believe that God will judge people on their actions, I mean if a truly repentant murderer can get into Heaven, someone who doesn't believe but has been a good person all their life should as well. I mean damn, that's harsh.
In closing, I like to follow the main instruction of Jesus: 'Love your neighbour as you love yourself.' True facts.
( The Rest! )
And shit it's later than I though it was, I better wrap this up and get my ass to bed!
Goodnight all!
