i have to bite my tongue

So you've seen the Jesus picture in the post below? Well, I just had to vent. Last night, a facebook friend posted as her status "GOD IS GOOD!!!*fact*" and it took every bit of my character not to question that. And ironically, it was the Humanist Kurt Vonnegut who helped me. He once wrote that it's not nice, even though it's so very tempting, to make a religious person question their beliefs. Because it makes them happy. So I'll vent here.

Aside from the obvious misuse of the word fact - I mean COME ON! How can you even begin to say that God is good? Because one good thing happened to you today?

It's always been astounding to me that when bad things happen to religious people (mostly Christians), they just happen, but when good things happen it's because of God. This also applies to the actions of people(!). When people do bad things, it's people being bad, but when people do good things - for example when people show up to help out at an accident - it's God's work that they came there. This baffles me. And don't just take my word for it:

sorry ma




Come to think of it, when was the last time you saw Jesus having some tsatsiki?

me, me, me

When people post stuff online, I sometimes feel like it's directed at me. Even when I know it's not. I even let myself be happy that they would write such nice things to or about me. I'm not sure if it's a character flaw or an asset.

national tests

This morning sucked monkey balls. I came to work to help out with the Swedish tests and was met by disaster as things had not been prepared by someone at work. this someone, whos task it was to prepare for the special needs group, had not only not done everything she was supposed to, but locked up whatever we needed to do (in the fifteen minute window between realizing she wasn't going to show up and the test being scheduled to start.

To top it off, my boss is on holiday in the south of Europe. I was taking care of a sick Polly yesterday, but it was reported that when texted yesterday and asked where the tests were, he eventually replied and said they were locked up in his office, in a cupboard to whcih he holds the only key. He asked if it was ok if we got the tests on Wednesday.

But once everything had started (45 minues late for the special needs group) it was a good day.

satsa på stjärnorna



Måste vara påhittat. Jag tycker det verkar alltför osannolikt att vår kära regering någonsin skulle göra något som gynnar de som redan har det bra medan de som inte har blir utan.

it's friday i'm in love


Boy, oh boy! Am I tired? Yes!

I have had a busy week, followed by a nice evening and now it's officially the weekend! I celebrated by having two cookies from Ballerina called Fylld cookie. They were essentially chocolate chip cookies with a nougat center and though it's hard to say how big a part my hunger played in my judgement, they were delicious!

Then I made some of my Idian food, which isn't really as Indian as it is food, since I made it up and I'm not Indian. But it's very tasty nevertheless.

I'm tired. Did I mention that? I believe I did. Sorry for repeating myself. I'm off to bed. Toodeloo!
