11:45 pm	Browsing through my own life I just got lost in my old posts. Drama central. I can't say I'm completely over that, but who can? Bored now, spending my summer in prison, seeing what the summer can bring me. Perhaps a little romance? Let the good times roll! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:13 pm	Marriage This week is the ELCA's churchwide assembly in Orlando, FL. Among the issues on the agenda are the consideration of whether or not to ordain individuals practicing sexual intimacy in publicly-committed same-sex relationships, and whether to bless such relationships as "churchified" unions. I wonder... if such blessings and ordinations become part of our practices (and I dearly hope they do), could we then become a spearhead to reform the laws of our nation? What if ELCA members in publicly-committed relationships, both same-sex and opposite-sex, boycotted the state institution of marriage until every citizen is granted the same rights in their unions? Would the ELCA bless heterosexual unions that do not have a marriage certificate from a state? What message would this send? Could we make ourselves heard? What effect would such a thing have on our full communion partnerships and hopes for greater inter-denominational and interfaith dialogues? (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:59 am	Meh I wanted my first post from CA to be on my own computer, but that doesn't seem to be coming together so well. I can see the wireless network, but it refuses to assign me an IP. And of course, I can't manually assign the info, because no one knows what the gateway, network mask, and DNS info should be. Meh. In other news, I am at PLTS, and not dead. Yay! Going to the Gay Pride March in SanFran today, and tomorrow starts Greek. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:42 pm	Phone Post: From the Road in El Paso VoicePost 171K 0:50 “Hey everybody. First of all, let me send out thanks to <lj user=amalthya> for paying for a LiveJournal account for me. It was an unexpected surprise so that I can inform everyone about my travels. So, I've got that all set up, and, here I am. I'm in El Paso after being frightened out of my wits all day driving through the desert. There's nothing around for 500 miles. And, um, I'm pretty bushed. So, more posts later. But, it's been a good trip so far. New Orleans rocks, and, more details later.” Transcribed by: multiple users (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:15 am	Departure And so I depart. No online for a couple weeks. Here's to new and exciting things. I love where I've been and who it's been with, but I'm called away for a little while. Know that my thoughts are both ahead and behind, and you have my love. Current Mood: anxious (Comment on this)

9:28 pm	Kingdom of Heaven Kingdom of Heaven: A good film, to be sure. Nothing spectacular in any particular way. It's a historical fiction, so you know how it's going to end, and Orlando Bloom is the hero, so you know he'll get out alive. But all around solid entertainment, and it spoke to me at my spiritual core. "What man is worthy of the name if he does not make the world a better place?" Title is nothing, ceremony of religion is nothing; only the man and his relationship with God matter in the end. Live each day doing right with what is given to you; God will put your work before you. Current Mood: refreshed Current Music: Bond - Allegretto (Comment on this)

11:24 am	Lonely I did some thinking (I know, very dangerous...). I am glad this job will be over soon. I'm surrounded by people all the time, even when I sit here at the library. Somehow, in this sea of people, I feel a bit lonely. I can't really connect with the kids, and no one is at the library for a chat. I look forward, anxiously, to the time when I can just walk down the hall or across the lawn at any time of day and find someone who understands a bit of where I'm coming from. I crave... people? intellectual stimulation? conversation? I'm not sure, but my current schedule isn't letting me get enough of whatever it is. A good experience to have had, but like so many, stinks to be entrenched in the moment of it. And to think, I was an introvert at one time! Now, having said so, I feel a bit better already. I think I just like to understand myself. Good luck to anyone else who tries (though I welcome the attempt ;)! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:13 am	Per Request As per Breonna's request: Kathy, Breonna would like to know who you are. According to last night's conversation, she still can't put your name together with a face. Check out her reply to your last comment. (Comment on this)

11:43 am	Well, Duh! As my new acquaintance Kathy so succinctly put it (and as anyone who knows me can tell you), I have long been in love with the idea of love. The romance of wooing, the magic of that spark, the glimmer in the eye... movies, literature, history... society puts it in your head from day one. But yesterday, I realized something very valuable. That just can't last. There are going to be arguments, and times apart (boy, howdy!), and just quiet moments with no particular event of urgency. I can't keep that heat every moment, and who wants to? It would burn me up and wear me out! What I can do is keep a friend. After all, we chose together to call us a couple. And that was before I started my delusions of movie magic. I'll just be me, and let the rest fall into its own place, trusting God for the right thing to happen. Put away childish fantasies, and welcome to reality. I've got a great friend in Breonna, and I think I can safely say that we both hope this will grow to something spectacular.

4:55 pm	Disconnected I think I have discovered why I've been so... antsy lately. I feel disconnected from Breonna because we can't physically hang out and just be in each other's pleasant company. I worry that this will cause us to grow apart. What can we start doing to stay connected and keep in touch without being close geographically? I'm thinking things like... reading the same book, studying the same Bible passages, watching the same movies. I bought The Book of Questions and If... 3, but that really requires us to match up a great deal of time for phone or IM. She's FAR more busy than I am, so I hope to find something she's already doing, but any suggestion can help.

5:36 am	Weirdness I wore shorts yesterday. I felt naked all day. It was plenty warm, but I just felt like I wasn't wearing something appropriate. In other news, I was moved to poetry again, but am not yet satisfied with the result. It's somehow inadequate to the task. I want to say something in particular, but something's not quite right. Like somehow, "Breonna deserves better than this." I don't know. But I get to hear her voice again today, which is just another reason to be grateful for another day. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:24 am	Star Wars I'm willing to accept that Sidious was always evil. Despite my nature, I can suspend that disbelief for the sake of good fantasy. But who taught him? Did he travel to old Sith ruins to find holocrons? Doubtful, as he is the Sith master. I don't know any uber-fans of Star Wars, but maybe someone knows or knows where to find out.

12:52 pm	No Foolin'! I called Cingular today and ordered a phone with a California number. It should be activated by the end of April, and will at that point become my primary phone. I'll try to make sure that everyone who needs the number gets it before then, but if you're one of the people that needs it, you should have plenty of ways to contact me after the changeover if I happen to miss you.

11:13 pm	:D I've got a girlfriend, she really l*v*s me. (Can't say that yet ;P) (That's from a movie, methinks, but I can't for the life of me remember which. Help! I'm oversaturated with pop culture!) But let me say this to Bre: "As you wish." Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: The Last Dance - Silently She (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:40 am	God's Mysterious Ways Spring arrives, and I am reborn! Let there be joy! I've had lots of time to learn many lessons. With prayer, communication, and time, let it last. Breonna is the answer to many prayers. *gringrin* (Comment on this)
