Alrighty! So I am in a pretty good mood tonight, for the most part. Had a freaking BLAST at Hi-BA. We had a huge crack-up fest. Katya told some hilarious stories so we were all hystarical. And I was supposed to lead worship...slightly difficult when I'm still trying to stop laughing haha. But ya. Pretty awesome. She told us about this 70year old Philippino woman she met during the summer that was like "When I had my first child, she was so hairy, I thought I gave birth to a monkey!!" And omg, everyone was busting up so bad. It was great. Oh man. Haha. Laughing about it now in my head.
Anyway rode my bike home from the station tonight. It's getting freaking cold dude. I was riding home on my bike pretty fast so my hair was getting blown by the wind, so it wasn't keeping my ears warm. I got home, and they were bright red, and because they were so cold I had a massive headache. Now it's just a little. But I think this calls for some earmuffs. Black ones so they don't clash with my pretty pink coat =D. Exciting story right? Haha.
So on my way home I was thinking about a few friends that I have. They're awesome. I was thinking about hwo they love me for me, no matter what. You know what that reminded me of? Jesus. His undying love. He loves me for who I am, as I am, even when I screw up big time. It's interesting that they remind me of that, cause two of them aren't even Christians. CRAZY! But awesome at the same time. I wish that I saw all of my Christian friends that way. Hopefully that day will come.
Anyway found the Iressistable Revolution in my madre's room the other day. Gonna read it again, cause that book is freaking amazing, and refreshing. I'm starting to think about my winter reading list as well haha. Gotta finish all of the Ted Dekker books that we got this summer, and then I think I'm gonna get on reading Twilight. XD. I've cracked! Gotta read it. I'm just way too curious now. Everywhere I look it's like "Twilight!" or "Edward Cullen!" I JUST GOTTA KNOW! hahah.
Ok depressing thought for the night. I was doing my Japan Seminar homework, and we just finished up our Hiroshima section yesterday. So we were talking about the bombing of Hiroshima and stuff. So our homework was to look through the art of Hiroshima victims, and to categorize them. One of my categories was water. So the images that I found were images of people who were boiling from the radiation, and trying to drink water. But the water was messed up so when they drank it, it literally blew up their stomachs and they died. So the images were of bodies floating in the water. Gruesome, I know. But then I realized something. In one of the images there's this building that a lot of people in the world recognize, because it has been shown a lot in images of Hiroshima's destruction, and it's something a lot of people drew. In one of the water pictures with dead people in it, that building is right next to it. Then I remember. In 7th grade we went to Hiroshima for a school trip, and we went to that building. I remember the river now. And now I feel sick. I saw the destruction caused by the atomic bomb, that disgusting weapon. But because we were in the peace museum, I didn't think anything gruesome about the whole thing. But now I think...I was by the river where people drank and died. People drowned. People died where I stood, from something my country used. And people wonder why I'm so antiwar.
Ok. On that note. Better say something happy to end it off. I have completed my next Knowledge piece. I might have to change more though, cause tomorrow is critic day. I'm scared. But here it is, I'm really happy with it.
