saturday sabbath
one of my courses was cancelled...for uber lame reasons, but, none-the-less, i have a free day.
debbie and i are spending the day at pike place.
here is my quote of the day -- i couldn't believe i said it as i watched it drip off my tongue and stand in the air like the words on sesame street:
"i do have one errand that i have to do. I HAVE TO GO TO LEFT BANK BOOKS AND GET A BUMPER STICKER."
getting a bumper sticker is on my "have-to" list.
only me.

Becky,
hello from asinine seminary land!

hey dude.
sorry if that was offensive...it's just my experience of the seminary.
i'm still recovering a year later.
totally understand punky brewster. gentry and wilcox filled me in a little about it last year. i had a similar experience in March. my wife and I were in the Great Room from about 7:30-12 in the evening. we were lying on the couch together talking at one point which lasted about an hour. i get an email from Lita about 4 or 5 days later saying she wanted to discuss an "incident" in the Great Room with me. apparently, there were a handful of students that told her they appaulled that we were lying on the couch together and were deeply offended. Lita was nice about it but told me that our behavior was inappropriate. mind you, we weren't kissing, nor was there anything sensual going on; we were actually talking about some very serious issues. i was glad that Lita was more upset that nobody came to me personally than about the "incident" itself. i was extremely pissed. i've seen far worse on the those couches, let me tell you.
it just goes to show you, no matter where you go, assholes will find you!
yeah...i don't know how much gentry and wilcox told you, but lita's top concern with me was not that no one took it to me...she even yelled at me for having told my mom what was going on and then lied to my mom etc.
but it wasn't just lita, it was awesome people asking me if i dress the way i do as "incarnational ministry," it was borgman saying i need counseling to "calm [my] creative spirit," and, while i was sitting in the room in one of my more punky outfits and he said, "we even need to reach out to the punks - punks are in so much darkness."
it was my roommates telling me that getting my tattoo was financially irresponsible and writing lita to tell her i spent too much on shoes.
it was davis dispelling arminianism in two sentences.
it was people not talking directly to me but about me in my presence when they found out how old i was.
it was everyone being positive that my dad must be the seminary student - not me.
yeah...i have alot of healing yet to do. luckily, i'll get counseling at mhgs and i'll also have the theraputic experience of writing a letter to the president of gcts about my experience of lita---after i get my degree in my hand.
