disrespect in all its forms. *warning personal beliefs spoken* (9) 
You know it’s going bad when you & your group starting fighting in the car. We have to do something “helpful” for the community for our presentation this Friday. So we are helping out an unfortunant family and bought them some things. On the way there, the one guy who is assuming the “leader” position, says “we need more sources for the project.” I told him we could use the name of the church as a source since they gave us the name of the family we are helping. he then says:
“I have a better idea! Let’s use the bible instead! We can quote verses in our presentation!”
I then say politly that I don’t really want to do that. He asks why and I tell him I don’t think it’s appropiate and that it may offend someone in class. He gets pissed and starts fighting with me and then says “Well, what if we throw in some Chinese proverbs too? Will that help?!”
What an asshole, damn. Then he’s like, “We can use certain verses from the Bible to help. We have to explain why we think what we did was good, not just go up there and say its good and have nothing to back it up. We have to show why its good. We have to have motivation.”
I tell him (and all of them since we are all in the damn car) that the Bible isn’t what is motivating me to do this charitable act. And that we each have our own personal motivations. He then accueses me of having only the motivation of getting a good grade on the assignment to do this for the family.
>_< >_< >_< >_< >_< ugh, WTF?! They were all just following his lead and asking why I didn't want to read Bible verses during the presentation. I told them if I wanted to study the Bible and do presentations on it I would have gone to a Christian college.
I got so pissed because I told them they could read verses if they wanted too, but I didn’t want it to be a “group motivation” and that I wasn’t reading any because I’m uncomfortable doing so seeing how I do not believe in the same things they do. I just don’t understand, I was being so understanding about them and they just attacked me for not being a Christian and pretty much saying that anyone without faith can’t be motivated to do good for others. It got worse, he followed me to my car and started apologizing and then tried to “save” me and twisted all my words around. All I was saying is I didn’t want to do that in the presentation, I didn’t express my values or beliefs because I’m not trying to convence them of anything, I just didn’t like the idea of reading the bible during our presentation. It just upset me and now they are treating me like I have a third eye and won’t listen to ANYTHING I say now.
ugh, anyway. We will see what happens. I have a mid-term in the class tomorrow =_=;;,
I was so tired from work today. We had to take Mike’s car into the dealers because his engine light came on. But the light itself was just broken so no problems after allIt’s been long day. OH, I DIDN’T have 10$ in the bank! Books-a-million charged me twice for the manga!!! I thought I was supposed to have like 40$ left over!! Sure enough they fixed it today and it’s back up where I thought it should be! I’ll just respond to some comments now, I like wasting time

write, damn you! WRITE! (8)
Oh my, what a DAY! I didn’t get to bed till 4 am last night & got up at 7 to get to class. The presentation went well, doesn’t mean I like the idea, but we made the 30 minute mark, and he said we sounded very “smooth” in our presentation. I wasn’t really nervous. I was too busy disliking our idea, hahaha :-) . So anyway, gotta write up a paper this weekend for the final part of the presentation grade. I knew I had an assignment in my online class due 8 am saturday so I logged on to do it tonight and holy crap, there were 4 other due too! She must have put them up on wednesday =_=;;. Sigh,
I sent out some mail yesterday. Ones a scarf for my mom. I know, its like 90+ degrees out but ah well. Love is never out-of-season right?! Wow, that sounded lame. Hahahaha, I’m in a semi-positive mood though. Probably cuz no work on Fridays during the summer! The office is closed so I don’t have to go in :green: .
Thanks for all the helpful comments ^__^. I’m getting used to the password thing. there’s a slight chance I might vert back to normal once my site is no longer a hot topic amongst family. But we will see. ^___^

group hate (12)
Bah, I don’t like my group anymore. They NEVER listen to any of my opinions and our once serious presentation on STDs is now a lame skit where its a support group and I gotta stand up and pretend and say “I have chlamydia.” laaaaaame. Ack, they suck. Then they turned my idea of handing pamplets I got on STDs from the clinic into putting the pamplets in a “goodie” bag with condoms and hershey kisses. I told them I would feel weird bout eating hershey kisses that were rubbin’ up on condoms. And they want to meet at the library every damn day! Seriously, that’s where I’ve been! I have 2 projects due Friday. Since Monday I’ve done this:
8 am class - straight to work after class - straight from work to library - straight home to eat n pass out.
My pc has been off for 2 days! *it must feel lonely.*
On a lighter note though, I ordered Hot Gimmick 3, 4, and pre-ordered 5. But naughty me read 3 and half of 4 already off a scan site. Vera & Vincent Scans to be percise! I haven’t been this obsessed with something since I started crushing on Mike 6 years ago! :-)
I swear new layout coming but all this work! I don’t know when it’ll go up, plus I want to start on some knit patterns from my new Japanese pattern books, but I’ve been too busy! >_< ;;
I took some kind people’s advice and wrote my nosy Aunt 1 last email. I’m sure she’ll read it but not respond AS ALWAYS. Click “readmore” for the email I sent her.
