And I'm Popular!

My one and only final went fairly well. Actually this whole week has gone exceedingly well. I appear to have transformed into someone popular, as I had three separate people phone me on Wednesday (Three!). And I was invited to two birthday parties. . . I predict the world will be ending sometime next week.

All I have left for school is a lab (worth about 25%) due sometime next week and my final design report (I'm not sure what that's worth, probably about 40%) due by the end of finals. So my life is pretty easy going right now. By the end of next week I should be able to post my entire plans for the summer. Currently, I'm thinking I'll be gone for the first couple weeks of May (I also have weddings on both weekends after that).

Yesterday I listened to some Mormons give their pitch for about an hour. I didn't have any previous knowledge of it, but it seems to be an exceedingly strange religion (God apparently has a physical, male body).

In other news: She's leaving for basic training (13 weeks) on April 20. I've decided to try to get to know Her better anyways.

Dude, she's into you. Very, very into you.

Being United is not the end of the world. I know many United folks who think the Catholic service is stodgy and boring... but that's only because theirs is messy, disorganized and the congregation boorishly yacks through the sermon. I digress.

You can share your faith with your partner if you both have faith. That's the whole point of sharing faith. Even if you find a Catholic girl and marry her, chances are very good that you will not agree on everything, your metaphysics could be wildly different, and everything down to your takes on the Scriptures and whether the Pope is holy or evil is up for grabs. Someone of faith can match your faith in name only.

My boyfriend and I are both Catholic. We're both radically different. We agree on many points, but in other points we've been up all night pissed off at the other for being so STOOPID on things that should be obvious.

As for children, they should be taught to love each other as Christ loved. Nothing more, nothing less, until it's time for Sacraments and you'll have to cross that bridge shortly before you decide to have any. And come on, man, if you date her for awhile and it doesn't work out, at least you tried. The "how are we going to raise our kids?" question doesn't come up for quite awhile, usually, and even people who think they have it cased by the time they're married often don't.

Give the girl a shot. I saw her picture. She's a cutie. She sounds really interesting and fun, and what more do you really want in a girlfriend? What, you wanna get married in the next year? Good luck, my friend. Date a bit first. Learn who you are, see what makes you tick in a relationship and THEN worry about faith. Faith IS love. Faith will follow love.

Oh, and btw, I had to make an all-new blogger account just for you. Some jerk hijacked my other one. Bummer.
