FYI: Today is the last day to bid over at Sweet Charity so if you want to both donate to a Very Worthy Cause (aka RAINN) and bid on a variety of fun goodies, both of the fandom and non-fandom varieties, then you'd better scurry on over there ASAP.

Plus, you could even pony up to *gasp* purchase my services. And believe you me, I'm more than worth the price. ;-)

In other news, I kind of went accessory crazy last week and spent oodles of money I don't have on shiny thinge to wear on my fingers and in my ears. I used to wear a ring all of the time and I've missed having something to fiddle with. It was ridiculously easy to walk away with more than a handful of sparkly new toys. And I even amused myself by literally being distracted by something shiny while I was shopping. It was a lot of fun.

By the way, you know you live in Michigan when you wake up to snow on the ground (in late March) and later in the day you go to the store wearing only a sweatshirt and see that everyone else is dressed the same. After the winter we've had anything over 30F is a tropical heat wave.

Bleh. I am boring today, see me bore. *putters along*

hmmm, I'm awake. And you all know what can't sleep in the middle of the night means! That's right, it's confessional time.

Ever since I alluded to some of my more intense emotional stuff I've felt kind of obligated to talk about it. Well, not obligated, per se. I guess it's more along the lines of 'I'm totally going to use my lj for cheap therapy' again.

Though I won't just be talking about emotional stuff. In order to get to the heart of the matter I'm going to have to talk about that most eyebrow-raising of Mormon activities, the mission. Many of you, if not all of you, know that once upon a time I was a missionary in South Texas and that there were some emotional reprecussions when I wasn't one anymore.

So let's get down to business.

Wow, apparently I had a lot to say. You know, when I decided to start blogging about Mormonism one of my goals was to present how things looked from the Mormon side of the belief gap which caused me to subsume my own ambiguous feelings. It looks like I've overcome that conceit. Which is a good thing because brutal honesty is good for the soul.

Now I can focus on the meta that's been poking at my brain; it's tentatively titled Free Will vs. Determinism in the SPN Universe. It has the distinct possibility of turning into a monster post all of its own. I'm sure you're all "thrilled" to hear that. ;-)
