Fashion Redemption

I almost vomited on the bus - again. I don't understand. Jesus keeps on healing me from motion sickness and then I keep on getting sick again. Maybe it's just to keep me grounded. I mean you can't go far if you can't go anywhere without puking. The worst thing about it today was that it was on the way back from the mall. The mall. I hate the mall. I had to return something for my brother at the mall. Blah. Maybe God was trying to tell me something. Maybe I am being asked to hate the mall less and start a shopping ministry of some kind. I could seek out awkward junior high kids and teach them a lesson about fashion while drawing a little diagram of a great canyon. One side of the canyon is for unfashionable heathens while the other side is for God fearing hotties. To get on the side of hotness, all one needs to do is allow Jesus to bridge that gap. Hmm... it makes so much sense now. I guess I got sick on the bus for a reason.

End of the Century



I feel like it's the end of the century. I just finished a contract. I started my first blog. I went out with work people and liked it. Change is in the air. It smells a bit like smog.
At work today I was told that I do the "straight man" very well (ummm... that sounds way sexier than it was). Apparently that may be due to my generations' need to be cooler than everything to be cool; to like things for irony rather than actually liking it for what it is. I disagreed. I said, "listen, my favorite movie is 'Saved'. Mandy Moore is in it for crying out loud. I can like nerdy things for what they are. I do not need to like something ironically to feel cool". Then I realized that I like it because it's terribly sarcastic and as a Christian who dislikes Christian culture I like it because it reminds me that I'm cooler than everything Christian. Mmmm...
