Fangirls

The Hunger Games. Enough said. It scares me to no end that so many girls have gone to the extreme fandom of this book series turned movie. I don't really see what the big deal is, because I didn't like the books. I read the first two books, and thought they were terrible. Apparently the third book is even worse and depressing. Here's the rundown of what happens.

1. Katniss - main character, annoying girl.
Why? - Katniss has a guy she likes and would probably have married at home. They do everything together. She may have taken her sister's place in the Hunger Games, but even though she says it is to save her mother and sister, I personally think she wanted out of her District. She was tired of hunting and sneaking around. She wanted to relax and not have to worry about providing for her sister and mother anymore. She goes into the Hunger Games with a guy on her mind, but she completely takes advantage of the other tribute from her District. Peeta, a male tribute, is in love with Katniss and always has been. Katniss decides to give people what they want: love. So she kisses Peeta and makes him believe that she loves him, even though she has no interest at all in the poor guy, a bit like BELLA, EDWARD AND JACOB. People refuse to see the connection between Twilight and The Hunger Games. Sure, THG is written in a way that could never be as bad as Twilight, but they have the SAME FREAKING STORY.

Wanna tell me why you don't think I'm right or why you DO think I'm right? (highly unlikely you would say that)

Stuck in the 1800's?

So recently dances have been brought up with me. I just recently went to a ball, prom is coming up and there is also something called a "blackout dance" that I have been asked as to whether or not I was going. I was just wondering why so many people enjoy dancing the way I know they will be dancing. The entire theme of the blackout dance and prom will be sexual and girls will try to reveal themselves in any way possible. Many girls will lose their virginity on prom night, and I am wondering why no one is different. It seems that I am the only person in the world who thinks differently and refuses to dance in such a way. At the ball I went to the most provocative dance we did was the tango. At the ball, I danced the tango, charleston, waltz, virginia reel, levi jackson and even did some swing dancing. There was no inappropriate dancing and even though I would have called some of the dress choices that the other girls made slightly inappropriate, there wasn't anything like this there. The most revealing thing there was probably a strapless green dress, but it was still quite beautiful on the young lady wearing it, and it covered all of her chest up to the breast line. In no way am I as extreme as this but I find this quite tasteful while still being modest. The worst part about this is that I am a Christian and I have many Christian friends, but they dress just like any other common everyday slu.... err... teenage girl. Last I heard, we are SUPPOSED to be different from everyone else, not blend in! Sure, I wear short-shorts. AS NIGHTCLOTHES. I live in Texas, it gets hot at night. I don't wear those shorts ANYWHERE else. So why girls are so bent on showing off as much skin as possible? Because they want everything NOW, especially that one boy that they just met yesterday but they're already in love with and he just might be "the one".
Now, to my "Christian" friends: If you're going to act like the world, then fine, but leave me out of it. I'm not going anywhere near blackout dances or clubs, and when you say you want tattoos, fine. I'm just not going to have anything to do with you. I do not appreciate nor do I condone the attitudes that you ladies and men are exhibiting.

Winning?

Just wanted to post a little bit about life...
Recently I have won free pizza, a soda and songs! What is up with this? I always lose at things. If there's a wishbone I'm pulling.. I always get the short end but recently I have felt like I would pull the WHOLE wishbone, not just the bigger half. I'm working well at work, I'm making some major progress in my Sunday School class and I have been really trying to have a better attitude about things. I guess God decided I needed a break. ;) Now if only I could get a prom ticket.....

Darwin- Really An Evolutionist?

Charles Darwin. The man's name alone has given some Judeo-Christian world view holders goosebumps. But was he really an Evolutionist? Let's explore the facts:
1. Darwin did not know that a cell was as complex as modern man knows it to be.
2. Darwin grew up with a freethinking father and a Unitarian mother.
3. He was delighted by the logic and language of "Evidences of Christianity"
4. Until he read Lyell's book while on The Beagle he was interested in books that had to do with an all-powerful Creator who made the universe.
5. “I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion out of them!” -Charles Darwin.
6. “To suppose that the eye…could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” -Charles Darwin.

As Darwin went through his life, he went through all of the mountains and valleys that normal people do, but his were just more popular. His freethinking father and Unitarian mother both influenced him but in the end, when he finally found out how complex something that seems as simple to us as an eyeball, he completely revoked the idea of natural selection. All people believe in microevolution but Charles darwin himself believed that macroevolution was untrue. It makes you think about what you believe when even the creator of a "religion" didn't believe in what he said.
