House & Cutty?

Who else was surprised by the ending of that episode when the two of them kissed? Who was not surprised when House made it all the way to her door step, but failed to follow through on asking her out..or whatever he planned to do, had he not turned away in the last moment?

Wow, I know we all thought it, but now the writers took that extra step. There always was that attraction and tension, but now it all seems out of whack... Oh, the attraction and tension are still there, but now it's starting to get weird. Will the writers keep us in that place of un-balanced-ness to keep that extra tension, or will the issue be resolved quickly?

If Cutty was right, that everyone would be unhappy if she and House were dating, wouldn't that make you want to see how fun that could be? Or maybe House is right, and he is destined to be alone, and everything will go back to normal...Isn't that what usually happens? Mustn't the show go on :-) ??

Ministry of Hope

I started a bible study at my school.

Well, it's not "just" a bible study. Actually, it's a club...because at my school we have clubs for different interest groups. We called it Ministry of Hope and apart from being a bible study where a bunch of Christians get together and have a good time, we also are literally a ministry that brings hope to our school. Click the link to find more information...

Hope...I think that's the first thing that came to mind when thinking of ways to make a difference at Ai. See, I see so many students at my school struggling with all sorts of things and especially during finals (which is about every 3 months for about 3 weeks), and I feel compelled to do something.

The club has now been in existence for about a month and we are 4 regular members. Today we launched a food drive, inviting faculty, staff, and students to participate, to start a food bank at the school. There are actually students at my school who can't make ends meet, so much so that they sometimes have to go without food to pay the bills. So counselors at school and our club decided to organize a food drive and start a food bank for students.

Yes on Prop 8

Ok, I don't want to sound like a religious fanatic or one who hates gay people. I don't. But for me it is a moral issue that when I'm asked if gay people should be allowed to marry, I'll "tolerate" their gay life style even though I don't agree with it, but when I'm asked about supporting the putting in place of a moral law, I have to go with what I believe is moral.

Some people say that we can't legislate morality...How stupid is that? That's all we ever legislate! If we wouldn't legislate morality, we couldn't have laws against murder, rape, theft etc. - all of which are moral laws - Can you imagine the mess we would be in right now if we couldn't legislate moral laws?

Now, after the elections, I'm seeing people protesting in the streets over Proposition 8 being passed. This is so stupid! California voted, and it passed - get over it! Obama won the presidency and there's about 38 million people out there who didn't vote for him. Should they go out into the streets and protest too now?

Others argue that gay marriage is a civil right and compare it to the civil rights movement back when african-americans wanted to be treated equally. How is being gay a civil right, like being african-american? Is there now suddenly a gay race? This is not a civil issue, it's a moral issue... And 52 percent of Californians believe that it is not moral for gay couples to get married. Get over it. Heck, there's people out there that believe that being gay is not moral and if 52 percent of Californians thought that way, it would be illegal to be gay in this state since Wednesday...be happy with what you have!
