Easter

Its probably not a good idea for me to post something about my day until the day is complete, because other stuff is bound to happen, especially since I'm about to go visit relatives, and that's always a blast... insert sarcasm here. I love my relatives... sort of. But they don't seem to want to have anything to do with me, especially since my parents have has all sorts of bad tally marks against them too. We're the black sheep, I guess. My dad decided not to follow everyone else's footsteps down the road of the teachers, doctors, and engineers. Instead, he chose computer programming, which in the 70s was the stupidest career choice ever, because the computer phase was going to die down in a little while anyway. Ha. Then he married my mom, who 1) breastfed her children 2) doesn't eat meat 3) never went to college or had a career besides parenting and 4) is "religious". All of which are viewed as unnatural and unnecessary for a "functional" way of life on that side of the family. So, its no wonder that they don't really have anything meaningful to say to me or my brother, especially since I'm a theater major (aka thats-not-a-real-major-what-are-you-really-going-to-do-with-your-life). Anyway, now I feel guilty for complaining about it before we actually go to my aunt's house. But in a way, it saved me from having to repost this entry later tonight. The same thing happens every year on every holiday, so if you really want to know, read what I said at Christmas. Don't forget about the 5 cats, which apparently I have developed allergies to.

Anyway, on the lighter side, I wanted to write about church. What else is new? It seems I've been doing a lot of that lately, but that's because God is real and active, and while church at times is stupid and boring, God's still exciting, and that's why I still go to church. Anyway... I'm low on sleep so I seem to be prone to tangents. I wanted to write that today someone prayed for me, and it was a special, refreshing prayer, and it was the type of prayer that makes a person all excited inside, because they can just feel in their bones that something amazing is going to happen in the next few weeks and months. Anyway, that left me really refreshed, so I had a nice Sunday. As for a nice Easter, well I know its supposed to be extremely special and meaningful (if you wanna know the meaning, ask) but in addition to all the good stuff associated with today, I've also collected a nice set of bittersweet memories, which I've been burying so far, but which may resurface at some point before the night is over. But mainly, it was a nice Sunday, and God is exciting, and that's what I wanted to say.
