Anyone Else Find This Disturbing?

What's left of a movie like Seven?

What Hollywood Has Taught Me about Religion

I'm glad Hollywood has cleared up a few questions for me. When the end of the world comes, it will happen as defined by the Roman Catholic Religion. A Catholic priest usually has the answer. The Virgin Mary, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit obviously protect us. The Catholic version of Heaven, Hell, and salvation are all that exist.

The only people who warrant protection from demons and vampires are Catholics, or at least those who bow to the Catholic ways. Holy water (as blessed by the priest) and the cross are a mortal's best protection. And as a vampire, it doesn't matter what religion you practiced when you were alive, you will cower before Catholic paraphernalia.

Also, Angels are pissed off as hell (no pun intended) at us humans. Apparently, they despise the fact that we get that silly salvation and forgiveness (as defined by the Catholic church) and the fact that we take it for granted. They're always trying to destroy humans. So... don't trust angels.

So basically, Catholicism is the only religion in the world. And angels hate us. Thanks, Hollywood. I don't know what I would have done without you.

New Favorite Song

100 Years by Five for Fighting

Yes, it takes me a while to catch on. That stupid Chase commercial (with whom I have a card) finally go to me. I read the lyrics today, and they're quite pretty.

I love songs that speak to me.

Spouses and Significant Others Welcome

Those words hold so much for those without.

My firm is having a party to celebrate the new office/image/etc. Because a trip to LA was cancelled, I am suddenly able to go. When I RSVP-ed, I was kindly informed that I could bring my someone special.

I laughed. Out loud. I surprised the girl who was taking down the information.

I think it's funny that was my reaction. I guess I just didn't realize how funny I thought it would be that I would be invited to bring my spouse/SO. I think it's because of how much I'm not looking to have a spouse or SO at this point. Everything keeps affirming that for me.

I think I'm going to throw a party where only those without spouses or SOs are invited. I think that would be great.

This Is What 3 Hours of Sleep Looks Like

For some odd reason I couldn't sleep past 3 this morning. When I saw daybreak, I got out of bed and decided to come to work. It's 7:15 in the morning, and I've already been here over an hour. I think that is not normal.

I wonder if I'll last the day. I have a large cup of black tea next to me (free hot water from Starbucks and free tea from the office). I think I'm going to die. Why couldn't I sleep last night?

Harry Potter

I just finished the book. Anyone else who is done let me know because I'm ready to talk about it.

My Theme Song

I'd have to say these past few weeks the best song to be my theme would be "Don't Miss You At All" by Norah Jones. Not that there's a particular "you" in my life. I think I'm talking the generic you that fills up that "other" spot in your life. Any particular you that you get up with on the weekends to just hang out. That you that will sit with you on your couch and just veg in front of the TV. That you that you just feel comfortable being with.

Comfort. Isn't that what we're always looking for with another person? Never feeling awkward around the other because you know there is no reason to judge? I think what people consider love is just comfort.

But, I think my desire at this point in my life is to be with someone who I go on trips with. Buying plane tickets together, seeing some place new. You know, that kind of person you have enough of a commitment with that you wouldn't feel weird making plans a few months in advance.

I'd like someone who flies with me to all the away games in this "Wedding Season" of my life. That point where all your friends start getting married and it spreads like butter on hot toast. Or something like that. Wedding Season alone only makes this point in my life that much more in need of a you.

But I don't miss you... at all.

I'm Going to New York!

I just booked my ticket. I'm so excited!
