Merry Holidays!

Well, kinda. Depending on who you are.  I didn't really want to say "Merry Christmas" because that could quite possibly be offensive and make people go, "THAT'S OFFENSIVE WHAT IF I WAS JEWISH?!?" Well, you know what? If you wanted to say "Happy Hanukkah", you could. I honestly don't care. In fact, I'm not Christian. But I do celebrate Christmas, and I'm not a Nazi, so I'm not going to persecute you if you're Jewish or Muslim or animistic or Bhuddist or Taoist or Hindu or Deist or Atheist or Agnostic or Gnostic or Rastafari or Pastafari or Samaritan or Ayyavazhi or Bhakti or Din-i-llahi or Yazdânist or Zoroastrianist or whatever the hell you are because I believe in freedom of religion. You can be whatever you want to be and that's fine.


Just don't push it on me.


Again, I believe that everyone has the right to worship freely as they wish, but I swear the next time someone tells me that I should be ashamed of not believing that Jesus loves me and God will forgive me if I pray, I will slap them in the face. Not really, because I would never actually physically hurt somebody, but I would certainly feel like it.


Also, gay rights.


(Most) Evangelist Christians annoy the hell out of me when it comes to gay rights. They think that it's a choice and that it's perfectly fine if you're in a same-sex relationship just as long as you don't have sex. That's like saying that it's okay to like strawberries and you can have them around the house, just as long as you don't eat them. It doesn't make any sense, right? That's what I'm saying.


On a completely different topic, my history teacher, Mr. North, suddenly retired without telling anyone. So we were left in kind of a lurch with a sub that was even worse than Mr. North was. We only had him for a week, and yet I didn't learn anything and he made us write a page-long paper on something that only took 5 sentences to explain. Needless to say, everyone in the class had their grades lowered because of this.

Glory day, oh glory day however today. Ms. Erickson, who is my most FAVORITE SUB EVER came in to teach. But she's not qualified to teach history, which is an issue. However, both the administration and the students loved her so much that they begged her to come back and teach, and she was able to tame the feral lion that was our class at the time. Seriously, it was the quietest it had ever been in that class today.

To help Ms. Erickson with her lesson plans and everything, along came the Academic Something (I can't remember the full title, but it helps students raise their grade and get their credits), Ms. Blanche, and the honors history teacher, who shall remain unnamed because I'm fairly certain I'm never going to mention him again. I learned far more in 55 minutes today than I had in three and a half months in that class because Ms. Blanche is so amazing at teaching.


But yeah. That's about what's been happening in my life. And now I must go if I am to get anything accomplished today.


Farewell, my friends!
