GIP, ladies and gentlemen.

I woke up at 12:00 today. Whooaa. I never do that. That's the latest I think I've ever slept in. Heh. It was raining and thundering and Erin was already up and watching the weather. There were some tornado warnings for Manatee county. Eek. Scary. But that's a bit of a ways south from us.

Got an ortho appointment today. Please dear God, let them set up an appointment to get my braces off. Two years and a month has been such a long time.

*Sigh* Maybe I shouldn't have entered in in that debate on Writer's Block. I think I'm in way over my head. I'm only friggen 16... I don't know that much. I'm really getting tested here...

Whew. Just went and checked it out. Friendly debates are great. Dark...hun, your doing great! Your opinion is your own and as long as you aren't offensive and closed-minded (which you aren't) all is well. I'd reply in the post but I don't have the energy. Let's just say I adore slash, but am in no way homosexual myself...and I completely understand where you are coming from. Hell. I was raise Catholic.

Anywho. My only advice is, other than that of not being offensive and closed minded, don't let others make your opinions for you. Parents, peers, people on WB. You have plenty of time to figure it out on yer own.

Thanks, babe. Yah, I guess I will have plenty of time to figure it out... it just seems now is the time in my life where I form the basis of my beliefs.

I used to think so too. At 16 I formed new believes...or changed some. Now, two years later, my beliefs have changed.

What I've learned?

There is no one time to form beliefs. The time is always. You go out into the world and experience it. You read and write and talk to new people and listen. Things you'll hear will change your mind constantly. You just always got to be open and aware that not everything read or heard is correct, in general or for you.

I try and constantly be learning. I do this through talking to people and reading about numerous things. I was brought up catholic and for a long time was very religious. Now I am undecided. I know I am not catholic, and pretty sure I am not christian at all. I don't know what I believe, and I am fine with that. It'll come with time, whenever that may be.

My point it. It is not important to know all the answers, but know the right questions and never stop asking.

...hehe. I just went all...philisophical (of sorts) on you. Sorry there. I just love the constant learning and discovery of life! *grin* Hope I didn't bore ya.

Yah, that's very true, I suppose. Once you step out into the world there's so much that could influence you. Especially at college.
