Christians that scare me

So I was reading an article in the Rolling Stone about this group of people called BattleCry. BattleCry is basically a right-wing Christian organization that wants to save teenagers such as myself from the evils of homosexuality, other cultures and stuff like that. I remembered coming to the library last week, looking through it and thinking this would be an interesting thing to look at in The Last Dance Revolution. The idea of making a Christian terrorist organization sounded like something I should do, and the idea of making BattleCry that christian organization sounded like a good idea.
This was before I even read the article. After I did read it, I believe that I may be all to likely.
BattleCry has a lot of violent imagery. The guy who runs it, Ron Luce, has a thing were they have a statue of a woman which they tear up. This is based on a biblical story where a guy tore up a concubine and sent the bits to the various tribes of Israel because he wanted to show them what would happen if they were ungodly. Scary enough, but Luce is saying that this is real. He believes that he is actually fighting a war. The sad thing is, is that he is using the same methods to destroy what he sees as evil as they are using, marketing schemes to get teenagers. It's freaking me out. Here's a link, I can't look at it right now because I'm at the library but the moment I get home I'm taking a look at it.
Ron Luce, if your reading this, you arn't getting me. I've read the article and I can tell you that I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot poll. I believe that you and your beliefs are wrong.

May mean nothing but...

I was walking to co-op today when I realized something. As many of you may know, there is a chance that the world will end around late December 2012. I was thinking about this when I realized that by that time I would be, alright, 23! Which as many of you should know is a really important number that appears in all kinds of really freaky places, for instance
  • Psalm 23 is the most known part of the bible
  • The Prophet Muhammad is said to have gotten the Qu'ran over a period of 23 years
  • The human has 23 sex chromosones
  • if you square 2 by 3 then you get 0.666, or something like that

So naturally, this freaks me out. I just thought I'd tell you guys this and hope that someone can explain what this means to me.

Youtube Videos

I found this on an Aspergers Forum I joined. It's funny and insightful to norms. I hope that this comes out on my blog. Insidently, this has happened to me.



And after I saw that I remembered this thing I saw. It's a trailer for a Dark Tower movie using clips from other movies. For you film fans out there, name all the movies used in the making of this trailer.

Back from the Desert

So, right now I am (supposed) to be working on my feature article that is due real soon. I've got around three pages done so far, I need at least 20. I'm thinking that I should call my mom in to give me a hand on it. It's driving me crazy, apparently because I need to get more work done on it. I could easily have done this a month ago if this was worth anything, but it's not. I don't care about this project. I just look at it and think, I don't really care about this project. When I look at the short story I have to write I think, this is worth something, but I look at this feature article and think, this is just me vomitting. I don't care about this in any way. There is nothing deep and moving about it for me. It's a glorified information piece is what it is. I feel like this is a complete and utter waste of my talents. Thinking about it makes me sick.
Okay, I got that rant out of the way. So, know for the interesting story. You guys have to here this...
WRITER'S FUNNY STORY THAT REALLY HAPPENED!
Okay, It's 2 in the morning and I'm sleeping in bed, all very peaceful like. I'm beginning to feel something on me. I figure it's the fan, because I always sleep with a fan on, but then I realize it's furry when it brushes up agains my face. So I instantly wake up and it's my little sister's hamster, that has gotten out of it's cage in the attic and has crawled into my room and into my bed. Naturally I panic because I hate that hamster. I believe it's plotting against me and this incident only increases that belief. So I run out of my room and there's a big commotion. The hamster goes back in it's cage and I am now securing my door more.
There, I hope you enjoyed that. I wasn't when it was happening.
So, this blog has been long in the making. I've been working on it on and off for a few days now. At the moment I'm working the final touches at the library.
On the subject of my novel, I'm starting to wonder about the construction. Recently, I've been getting alot of ideas for scenes. For instance, I watched Resevoir Dogs last night and I had this picture of Helen with one of the guys who went Marquis De Sade on her during the early times of her life. For those of you who have seen the movie, yes it is a rip from the scene were Mr. Blonde cuts of the cops ear to "Stuck in the Middle with you." Helen however, having seane the movie opens it like this.
"Are you familiar with the works of Quentin Tarantino? Late Pre-Contact film maker, known for making very violent films. Didn't care much for the language, but the dialouge was pretty good once you got passed it. Well, apparently he would steal scenes from other movies and put them into his. I wouldn't know any of them mind you. You wouldn't mind if I put some tunes on would you?" Helen puts in some burned CD or something and "Stuck in the Middle with you," begins playing. She mimicks the little dance Mr. Blonde did, every once in awhile asking guy she's about to painfully torchure. "Guess what movie this is from?" She does this until she cuts his ear off, thens he says "Sorry, you are out of time. The answer was, Reservoir Dogs, starring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madson, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi and Lawrence Tierney. Directed by Quentin Tarantino." I can just really imagine Helen doing something like this.
Okay, that's all I can think of. Just wanted to add that I am doing fine.

My Shelter

My EA said that I need to stop writing my novel and concentrate on my feature article in English. When I heard this I went into a great depression that effected me all threw my co-op. It tore me up alot that she told me to do this. I don't know why, maybe it's because she said it so harshly, I don't think she was aware of it.
Anyway, this really tore me up on the inside. I mean I was depressed. I felt like a complete wreck. I have been wondering why I was recently and I have come to this conclusion. I was so depressed because I don't want to stop writing the novel. I like the novel, I like Naos and Helen. They havn't let me down as much as society has. Society has been letting me down alot and I am starting to look at it as my enemy. I'm having alot of problems with society, which is mainly school. I've felt to many things come up right now and I'm worried about my future. I'm not sure I want to be a productive member of society. I'm not sure I want to pay taxes. I'm not sure I want to have all this homework. I'm starting to feel jipped.
The thing is I can't really complain because there is no one to complain too. Writing my novel allows me to go to a world where I am in charge and everything is alright. I feel more comfortable with Naos and Helen and all the rest of the things in my head. While external society can disapoint me, I know that I can always rely on my imagination.
I'm going to continue to write my novel anyway. I don't care, I can't stay in your world all the time.
You Should Get An All Over Tattoo

Outrageous and funky
Because you should never have to choose just one tattoo
Yeah, I should become one of those people with multiple tatoos.

What You Really Think Of Your Friends
Naos is your soulmate.
You truly love Helen.
You consider Ar'Ehdo your true friend.
You know that Ka Lynn is always thinking of you.
You'll remember Ralph for the rest of your life.
You secretly think Ralph is creative, charming, and a bit too dramatic at times.
You secretly think that Dana is colorful, impulsive, and a total risk taker.
You secretly think that Ralph is loyal and trustworthy to you. And that Ralph changes lovers faster than underwear.
You secretly think Ar'Ehdo is shy and nonconfrontational. And that Ar'Ehdo has a hidden internet romance.
Yes, I did my imaginary friends. I'll do you guys another time once I figure out more about you. Also, I think it's funny that it says Ar'Ehdo has an internet romance. His only romance has been an on and off thing with Rachel Dollen since the First Crusade.

Your Famous Movie Kiss is from Romeo + Juliet

"Has my heart loved 'till now? Forswear it, sight! For I never saw a true beauty 'till this night."

You Are Pretty Happy

You generally have a happy, fulfilling life.
But things could be a little better, and deep down, you know it.
Maybe you need more supportive friends or a more challenging career.
Something is preventing you from being totally happy. You just need to figure out what it is!

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris.
The art, the fashion, the wine!
Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park...
You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.
I seem to get Paris a lot.

The April 2007 Blogthings

You Would Do Most Things For Love

You are willing to go pretty far for love - but not far enough to compromise your core values.
Love is a priority for you, and you'll go further than most people to hold on to someone you love.
But killing for love? Or even taking a bullet? Probably out of the question.
No matter what, you love yourself the most!


You Communicate Like a Woman

You empathize, talk things out, and express your emotions freely.
You're a good listener, and you're non-judgmental with your advice.
Communication is how you connect with people.
You're always up for a long talk, no matter how difficult the subject matter is.


Your Life is Better Than 51% of All People

Your life is pretty average, with lots of normal ups and downs.
You're on the way to having a better life, as long as you focus on what's really important.
Remember to take the time to do the things that you like best, and let the little things slide.
No one on their deathbed ever wished that they spent more time worrying or complaining!


You Are 68% Tortured Genius

You are smart. Brilliant in fact. And while it's a blessing, it's also a curse.
Your head is filled with everything - grand ideas, insufferable worries, and a good deal of angst.


You Should Be a Poet

You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences.
Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it!


You Are an Okay Student

You know how to get by school, but your heart isn't always in it.
Motivation is a problem for you. Maybe you need to study something more exciting!


You Are Fairly Skeptical

You're not the type of person who will fall for anything...
But you do keep your mind open to all sorts of possibilities.
You figure that anything could be true. After all, the world is a strange place.
However, you're going to need some convincing before you can believe in aliens or reincarnation!


Your 1996 Theme Song Is: Ironic by Alanis Morisette

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures


Most of this was guess work. My 1996 theme song was probably Banana Phone.

You Are 52% Gentleman

Generally you act like a gentleman, but sometimes you're careless with your manners.
Most people know that you're trying your best - and that's usually good enough.
