Nov. 23rd, 2003 07:06 amSo looking back, I haven't updated for awhile. I mean, I made the post to make sure my fellow Houstonians survived the massive flooding and multiple tornados, but it'd been almost two weeks before that. So I really ought to update.
The thing is, I don't know what to update about. I could update about Alex, but I think you lot probably get tired of hearing about my daughter. Except my life kind of revolves around her right now, which is pretty pathetic, in a way.
I could update about my intro to Judaism class which is going really well, and how I'll get to start my real actual conversion class sometime in mid-January (and I won't have to drive for over an hour to reach the other end of Houston to get to it... I hate Houston traffic). But something tells me my views on religion would offend more than a few people on my friends list because... well... most of you are Christian (or atheist, or agnostic, or I'm just not sure). My views, though generally open and accepting, have rather negative feelings towards Christianity (which has NOTHING to do with my Judaism classes, I've had negative feelings towards Christianity since I started attending church when I was just a toddler... and those feelings only got stronger as I got older, and bordering on revulsion since moving to the Bible Belt). I don't wish to offend anybody or step on any toes, and I really think my conversion would bore most of you to tears anyway.
I could update about my wild party life, but I don't actually have one.
I could update about my complete lack of excitement for anything, but that's boring too.
I could update about my current obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer... something I used to be beyond obsessed with but lost interest in the show (mostly) after fourth season (which I didn't even like that much of). I've fallen in love again with seasons 1-3 and am watching them on DVD thanks muchly to Netflix. But I don't think many of you (though I know of a few) watch Buffy or know much of anything at all about Buffy, so it'd be kind of pointless wouldn't it?
I could update about the Thanksgiving mix-up! That's something semi-interesting... or... well... it's not really, but it's a story, and that's always good. ( For those interested... )
I think that's all I had that I could update about. Though I'm curious now, because of my brief rant on religion above... just what religion, or lack thereof, are all of you? I can't do the poll thing because I don't have a paid account, so if you could just leave a comment with your religion.
