To begin with:
Yo soy libre!!
Finals are over. Deo gratias.
Now to get to the "5 Things that Everyone Else Likes that I do too" variation of yesterday's post.
1. Napoleon Dynamite. Everyone loves the movie. I was quite possibly the only person on Earth who hadn't seen it a few months back (slight exaggeration), but I finally caved and watched it. All of the criticisms are true. There is no plot. It's stupid. It's kitsch-y. It's strange. And it's really not that funny. But...it's HILARIOUS, especially for quoting purposes. I mean, I made "Kip-style" nachos the other day. You can't deny the humor in that. And building a cake? Or catching a delicious bass? Or the Glamour Shots?? It's funny, fess up. You know it is.
2. Cell phones. I love my cell phone. I'm rarely on it, because I don't believe in paying the charges for going over my minutes limit. And the fact that no one calls me. But I love my cell phone. I think it is a wonderful invention - I can talk on my cell phone with anyone in the world. And long distance doesn't apply, so I can call Nashville whenever I'd like. It's beautiful. :) My only problem with cell phones is the people who don't have the courtesy to turn off their ringers/avoid calls that are disrupting to dinners, events, or MASS. But that's human stupidity, not the cell phone's fault.
3. Perkin's. Where else can you go at any hour of the day/night/morning to get some bottomless coffee and ponder the great mysteries of life? I love banter and conversation and ridiculousness and all the good things that come with friendly gatherings in the middle of the night. We've acted out the proper way to use a thurible, discussed ecumenism, got into an argument about the recent GIRM, and been generally silly with every opportunity. I love Perkin's.
4. Quoting movies. I know it's ridiculous and annoying if you've never seen the movie which everyone is mad about quoting, but I don't care. I think it's fun. Especially if we're talking about Ice Age. That movie has hilarious quotes in it. And how about Finding Nemo? Or Elf? I think it's the kids/family movies that have the best lines. And I love to quote them.
5. Harry Potter/LOTR. I attempted to defy both of them when they were in their "popular" stage, but eventually gave in. And I love them!! I have loved Harry Potter for a longer time, and even went as far as using wall stickers to decorate my bathroom. Yes, I'm a loser. And I definitely tried to not see LOTR for the longest time, but it got to the point where Sister was talking about scenes from LOTR in her talks, and my Bible Study alluded to some scenes, and I was like "fine, I'll watch it, but I won't like it." Good job, Angela. You really held to that one. ;) I love it!
So that'sa my list. Pretty good, eh Steve?
Well, it's time to watch the Best of Will Ferrell and eat pizza. Making the most of the last days of sophomore year.
And, ELIZABETH IS HERE!!!
Pax et veritas et bonum.
I heart fat hair.

It's me, anonymous again. I just wanted to say that you are not only a hypocrite, but also a coward- something you accused me of earlier. You sure didn't have the guts to leave on the posts that I sent about 'Catholics against the Pope' and frequent child sex abuse scandals in the Catholic church that Ratzinger is trying desperately to hide. Typical attitude of those who are so indoctrinated in one way of thinking that they can't see past the end of their noses!

Look here, anonymous.
I call you on this one. AD HOMINEM. If you want to be logical, do it properly. The way to argue these things is NOT by personal attacks.
I do not want to fight with you. If you want a fight, you're barking up the wrong tree. I believe what I believe because I believe that it is the fullness of Truth. If you disagree, that is your opinion, which you are entitled to.
Now please knock that chip off your shoulder, because this harassment has gotten ridiculous. I haven't even said anything worth harassing me about. I posted about typical college kid things in an attempt to quell the controversy that you managed to stir up. So, if you would kindly leave me alone, I would appreciate it. I would like to leave my comment box up so that my friends can post about our silly times and the fun we have; however, if you keep harassing me I will have to keep taking it down. Is that your intention? To silence your opposition? Good strategy. Seems fair and just, much like you propose we should all be, right?
And just so you realize, you said that I was free to take your comments down, since it is my website. So don't criticize me for that. You even gave me your anonymous stamp of approval.
Now let me alone.

ok, i agree, i do indeed conceded your right to post and remove comments as you wish. though i'm pretty sure you won't believe me, i don't want a fight. in fact i'll admit that i got pissed off when i read somethings about your views on the catholic church, especially about ratzinger, and perhaps that's why i wanted to try and persuade you otherwise (which of course i realised along the way is a futile endeavour).
but more than that, i totally agree with your point that this is a fun website for you and your buddies, and not a forum for wrangling over political/religious philosophy.
i don't want to ruin that for you, so please do accept my apologies for any annoyance caused.
