charliesmumSo, we changed phone companies so we could have Broadband, and something isn't right, so I was without computer access completely this whole weekend. Sigh
Therefore, I just found out that I was metaquoted for something I said on Mock The Stupid. I have Achieved A Goal.
I was thinking this weekend about the post I made on Friday about that boy being sent to Straight Camp, and I just wanted to say, for the record, that I apologize if I inadvertently insulted people who are Christian.
No one complained, but I was thinking this weekend about what I'd written, and the email I sent, and I thought it may have come across anti-Christian. I know there are people on my Flist who are Christian, and they are also very open minded and loving people; people I could point out as examples of real Christian values, because they do embody the ideas put forth by Jesus. I know, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_geekie said, there are people out there who make their side look stupid, and it is them I rail against, not those who actually know what it means to be kind and loving.
In other news, I hit a yard sale (car boot sale for your Brits) jackpot this weekend, and got several books for $1 that will be good summer reading. The downside being I've already finished two.
Back in 1982 or 1983, there was this movie called Educating Rita starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters and it was one of my favorite movies ever. Michael Caine is a disillusioned, hard drinking Professor of Literature at a University, and Julie Walters is the 27 year old Liverpudlianesque hairdresser, Susan Snow, who wants to be educated. In the first scene, she tells him that she wants to be called Rita, after Rita May Brown, who wrote Rubyfruit Jungle.
After seeing this movie, I made it a goal to read every book that they mentioned in the movie, (or at least every author) and I'd done them all except Rubyfruit Jungle, and danged if it wasn't one of the books at the yard sale! Excellent book. Quick read, and it gives an interesting insight to the changing roles of women in the 60's and 70's. (It also continued this trend that seems to be prevalent in my life to expose me to as many lesbians as possible. It's that Gay Agenda again. Joke! I kid because I love)
Right. Need to get to work and sort out my phone problem and hopefully get through the day. More later!

Hee!
