I haven’t seen “The Passion” I’m not sure if I will any time soon, me and violence don’t go well together. In the movie “Ice Age” I hid at times… and for “Lord of the Rings” I hid whenever bad guys were on the screen… So this isn’t a movie I will likely see on my own (w/o Jason or another friend who understands my neurosis). But I just want to say I think some people are taking it all a little too seriously… I expect it to be just like any other book that has been made into a movie… I am sure it follows the book pretty closely, but things needed to be added or omitted to make it a better movie… One person and their vision was behind transforming this book to a movie… so it probably isn’t the way you or someone else would have done it… but hey… That is how it goes when books are turned into movies…

It would have been smart to think… “Gee do I think going to a bar and yelling to be heard is smart when I have a cold?” But I didn’t think that… I thought oh… “All the interns and student teachers from my school, this will be fun.” And it was… but I doubt my voice will agree in the morning… But hey tonight was the first time a guy (who isn’t Jason) bought me a drink… So, three hours out, only three drinks…. home by midnight… Us teacher type really know how to party!

PS. People who smoke aren’t fun!

Those are the wonderful noises me and my body have been making for the past four days… I know you wanted to know… so I shared… One night I went to bed at 9, the next night at 8:30… but I’m still sick… ugh… Other than that things are going well… I am loving my internship and suriviving well without Jason…. even though I miss him… The kitties seem to miss him a lot… but they also enjoy having a bed all to themselves… and a computer chair. Well I don’t have much else to say now… just wanted to update you and let you all know I am alive… even if I’m not breathing very well…

Last night I had what I like to call a “Debbie Crisis”…. a huge emotional tantrum over something that isn’t that big of a deal and can be dealt with…. after a good nights sleep I went about the rational route of a finding a solution. I checked Best Buy/Ebay/Staples and found that I can get my cable…. Staples is what we have here in town so I will try that after school today… Of course this means my camera still has a bunch of pics on it and not much room for the field trip today… but I will be selective in taking pictures and I think I can make it work….

We now return you to your regular scheduled “Daily dose of silliness”

*UPDATE* Don’t you all just love that fact that with Jason gone you will get to hear the brunt of all my emotional problems instead of him….? I’m sure he will find it amusing anyway….

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH All I want to do is transfew pictures from my camera to my computer… is that too much to ask???? I haven’t done this since I got my new camera… so I think… well the USB cable must be in the box…. no! No USB cable… So I think… Ok I have been wating to buy the dock… now is as good of time as any…. but guess what!?!?! You need the USB cable to hook up the dock… Now I have a dock and a camera that I can’t do anything with…. I hope I can buy these stupid USB cables with the little ends somewhere…. Or I will really be out of luch….. I think I am going to just crawl into a ball and cry…

I wasn’t going to post anything about this… but a post at someone’s site made me decide to do this tonight.

Recently someone I know (mostly through the internet somewhat in real life) decided to ban anonymous comments from her blog… now maybe there were some comments that I didn’t see which led to this decision… and in that case I have no right saying the things I am going to say… but with that disclaimer, here I go:

This decision appeared to follow a comment that I made (as anonymous since I don’t have a live journal) and a comment from Jason. The comment from me was friendly and nice as far as I could tell… and that is how I intended it… The comment from Jason was simply about his experience with an event the person was going through… it wasn’t a statement about their intelligence or anything… he just wanted to share his experience… well this brought about the banning of anonymous comments.

Then the person made a post about how they don’t like it when people bash people with different beliefs… well since Jason has (technically, he doesn’t use it) a live journal he decided to comment on this post. He corrected a factual error the person made… in a polite and non-condescending tone… and agreed with the person about bashing others beliefs… this brought about the banning of his livejournal account….

Now today this person made a post claiming that they didn’t feel comfortable publicly posting their political beliefs… Maybe I am missing a lot of things but I just don’t understand what has led this person to believe this or to feel this way… and well since due to the banning of anonymous comments I am not able to ask this person… but they used to read my blog, maybe they still do and will respond to this…

*UPDATE* Looks like anonymous comments are back on… but that still doesn’t explain why they were turned off as an apparent reaction to people being friendly and doing what people do in comments….
