Wo, I had so much to talk about over the vacation, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
It's not like this blog stresses me out or anything, I just feel like it's a place to let myself go, and I was already letting myself go so much by not accomplishing anything at all for a month that writing here would be a bit excessive.
That said the break was excellent.
But it was probably the most excellent when I got back to school and realized how much work awaits me here, as opposed to how calm it was back home.
*sigh* Now that that's gone, though, I have a few things to say.
I think I'm going to post on these in small little chunks.
A lot of it I have already talked to Kristen about, but I still want to write it out, just to chronicle that I thought it. I hate redundancy in myself.
Chunk A:
Do you think that clumsiness is a part of the Fall?
As in, do you think that clumsiness is the result of Adam's original sin?
I do.
People have died by accident, and caused pain by accident, and in a perfect world there is no pain, thus no clumsiness. Accidents, though not sinful, and from sin.
I wonder how many other things are like that?
Chunk B:
This sort of ties to Chunk A. Governments are only necessary because of the Fall.
Why is government legitimate?
The only reason we have government is because human society needs different personalities, leaders, helpers, providers, and so on, to function as a whole, and government, the leadership, is supposed to organize that.
Therefore governments are an organization of the people.
So why do we owe them allegiance?
Shouldn't we agree to follow their leadership? Of course.
Do they have power over us? Not really.
The only reason there are different governments is because leaders disagree, not because an entire population disagrees with another entire population.
Therefore, governments are not legitimate, since they don't properly lead the whole of mankind. We give them directive to organize us because man needs a leader and they claim to be the ones with those skills. However, once they obviously fail at this, we leave them in power.
I'm not promoting anarchy, just saying government is silly because it's composed of groups of people who drew lines around land and said they own it, rather than lead.
Chunk C:
All of my older friends in Dallas are having babies. This means I have almost no companionship my age there now.
Seriously, people, if you're my friend you won't ruin my life and have babies.
Just kidding.
I wish lots of joy on all of them. They're gonna be awesome mommies and daddies. Especially if their cat doesn't poop on their kid like it did on me.
That's all for now.
Enjoy your first week of classes.
Don't get too stressed out.

Aw, you will still be loved even if all your friends have babies. You will just end up being more of a babysitter when you visit. I'm sure the relationship won't end just because of a COMPLETELY adorable chillin'. And now you have friends in the Dallas area that you didn't have before too. I'm sure things will be better than you may think. But I'm sorry you feel sad.
