Oppression

Dear World,

I have a problem that can't be solved and won't be solved because people are people and therefore...yeah. Pretty much sums it up.

But anyway, the problem is religious beliefs. Christians in particular here. I have no problem with ANY religion so long as it doesn't harm anyone. But Christians, just let me harp on ya'll for a second. I don't get it. Always talking about being oppressed and that people don't want to hear your religion. Um hello, think people got it. It's the most widely accepted religion around, you can find a church on every corner with a member trying to bless you to boot, and there's even billboards on the side of the roads in the South promoting Christianity. So I don't really think you're that oppressed. You just like to get mad when someone doesn't agree with you. Demonizing them for their beliefs in the name of your God. Btw, that's not cool. Not even by the bible's standards. Just a little FYI.

I love all people, don't mind what religion you are, but do not be a bigoted idiot in the name of "religion". First of all you look stupid and second you're giving a bad rep to everyone else in your religion. Just some food for thought there.

Currently

Dear World,

I'm halfway dead right now because I'm trying to catch  a cold yet again and I just worked five hours straight in a restaurant, but that's okay. I shall survive. I have to.

I wanted to give an update on everything. Mainly wanted to talk about the books I am currently reading. I was suggested heavily by my boyfriend to read the Eragon series and therefore I have started it. He probably wouldn't have dropped the subject until I did anyway. Lol. So far I am liking it a lot though I haven't gotten past the part where the dragon hatches. I know, I know, so slow of me. I've also already seen the movie but I want to read the book. Give it an honest chance to surprise me. On my list is also Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas which is an amazing series already and I'm only on Chapter 6. Then there's A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray which is another great young adult fiction story. Though a bit on the childish side for my age group. I took a long time to get around to it. The girl in the story is 16 so she doesn't really relate to me anymore. Still an engaging story and good read though.

That's all the reading I'm doing at the moment and I hope you guys are enjoying great reads as well!!

Best Time of the Year

Dear World,

First I want to let everyone who doesn't know that October 7th was the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's death. Which is still  a mystery to this day but he left behind a ton of good work. One of my goals is to go to the museum in Virginia! That would be awesome. If you can't tell, he's my favorite author. Of all time. Valley of Unrest is my favorite poem and really reflects the tone of his work mostly.

Also, I am excited because Mum Fest is finally here! It's the best time to be in New Bern in my opinion. There's vendors and carnival food, rides and all kinds of fun. Honestly, it's the only reason I'd ever want to stay in New Bern. They also have a book sale here hosted by the Shriners which is always great to go to. I never can resist the lure of new books. I'm also excited because this will be the first Mum Fest that I get to go to with my boyfriend! I am currently watching the clock and waiting for eight to roll around. Seems like time is taking forever to move.

I also have been editing some on Dangerous Love yet again. I made it to Chapter 7 before stopping. My brain was having an ADHD fit so I gave up. I think I'm a little too excited to work properly at editing. So for now I guess I will get ready and then read until Cj gets here.

Getting Caught Up

Dear World,

It's been a while!

I'd like to say a big hello while I have the time. I am currently working away at my job which I love. There is always things to do in a restaurant which makes me happy. Being busy keeps me happy the most.

So far the only thing I have been getting slack on is my editing and writing. After working so much you really don't feel like doing any writing. At least I don't. Currently, I am editing for semicolons since that's one area I'm pretty bad at. I made it to chapter five of the first book before getting sidetracked. My goal is to get it finished at least by Christmas and then we'll see where we go from there. Need to get back to my editing and soon if I want to meet my goal.
