(I'm well aware that it isn't completely in an angry tone, but please put up with it.)
Recently, people have been telling me that I ABSOLUTELY MUST apply to college right now. I don't think so. I'm well aware that having a college degree greatly increases your chances of finding a job after high school, but it doesn't guarantee you the job. Having a degree doesn't automatically make you the most eligible applicant. You need to have work experience, the know-how of the way things work. I'd planned to take a break from school after I graduated this year, but the 'rents are saying that I have to go right after I graduate or I'll be footing the bill. Pffffffff. I realize that I might forget some of the vital skills I need to ace those classes, but I'd like more than just summer vacation to think about things. I mean, is that TOO much to ask?
I'm also not the most religious person in the world, but being "part of a bigger picture" doesn't automatically make everyone else from a completely different religion insane, or a rapist-killer. The Church of Satan isn't a hovel for the immoral to go. They, like all religions do, have their own rules and standings in society. It's common sense. And every now and then, there are common concepts between two different 'churches'. Both the Wicca and Satanists use the pentacle (or the five pointed star within a circle) in their rituals, but Satanists are more widely known for using the star to symbolize Satan's head, even though it was the Wicca that used it first, as a symbol of their Horned God. Satanists borrowed from this, leading to the illusion (commonly apparent among sheltered Christian and Catholic kids AND ADULTS [but mostly adults]) that the Wicca are Satanists. I'm saying this because my friend (let's call her C) has another friend, S, who is Wiccan. Recently, C has been talking abut how S is Wiccan and how that's so strange, and immoral because Wiccans have Satanist rituals. Upon my asking why, she said "Because they use that star-thingy."
"You mean the pentacle?"
"Yeah, that's it. It means Satan, you know." (Yes, I know, I'm not an idiot.)
Sometimes you God-fearers really get on my nerves, whether you're Christian, Protestant, Catholic, or whatever.
And another thing: (yeah, here we go, the REAL rant) I really really dislike it when my dad makes me help him carry heavy s**t around. I've made sure he knows that. But he says that I can't let my older or younger sisters (both of whom are a head shorter than me) carry it because they'll "get hurt". News flash: Erin (my older sister) can carry up to 50 more pounds of stuff than I can. News flash: Chelsea's a faster mover than I am, even though she's shorter. (Her legs are longer than Erin's, but she's still slower than me.) They're both capable of using their muscles. Dad, you've always treated me different from them both. I've always had to do manly stuff. You and mom pamper them both more than me. I know I'm a little strange and distant, but that's because I'm not really stable. (Which is where my other problem comes in, being mainly: I'm not entirely sure about being who I am.) I know I've said this before, but I think I'm just being selfish- you know? Maybe I'm just a little insecure. I don't know any more.
