Oh what a feeling - dishwasher!
Do you know how delightful it feels to open a freshly churned dishwasher and have the steam rise over your fingers?
Ohhhh yes. *dreamy eyes*
Well, I'm a Cold Fish and I like warmth.
In reference (and agreement) to Jonno's post:
"I am allowed to do all thing," but all things are not good for me to do. "I am allowed to do all things," but I will not let anything make me its slave. - 1 Corinthians 6:12
Freedom aint free. You were bought by God for a price. So honour him with your body. (Drawing on 1 Corinthians 6:19,20)
I know a lot of people believe the Bible is a load of tosh and perhaps I shouldn't be quoting from it to try and support my point. However, I'm illustrating a point of view. I've had heated discussions with Brian about how faith+alcohol does not = a correct equation. He maintains that Catholics are the drinking Christians. Hm.
I don't want to destroy my body, so I don't drink. I've never been drunk in my life. And I think that the consequences of the experience aren't worth the 'fun'.
It's the same with smoking. All the smokers that I know quite well say 'just don't start. It is bad.' It's quite easy to say that smoking is wrong, because the side effects are so 'obviously bad'. Whereas drinking is just a little fun, eh?
Hm. I just don't want to put myself in that position. I, while in arguing with Brian, was saying something along the lines of 'I don't need to experience something to know it's wrong for me to do', and he was saying, 'sure', but sometimes there are lessons you need to learn. So perhaps he'll have a near-death experience near the RSL and then change his mind about getting drunk once a month. But - if you can see that you're going to end up learning a lesson - should you really have to put yourself through something terrible first?
Perhaps it's all this 'youthful ignorance'. I fear the whole 'apathetic generation' bizo. Maybe I should go into politics and set things straight. 'If I ran the world', and all that jazz. However, I am in no position to rightly judge anyone. Ahem. It seems clear from above that I'm doing more than 'discerning'. Dearie me. Let's just say that you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.
All you need is love. If people cared a little more, if everyone cared a little more, bad stuff wouldn't happen as much.

As far as Donnie Darko, Jonno - as if I haven't already got the entire collection of its beautifulness. ^_^ Ah, Life Aquatic soundtrack.. Perhaps I should see that movie.
I'm off to an early lunch and then my first exam. Should be fine. Can't wait til I can be like the luffly Sarah and trials are finished! ¶ 10:38 AM
