SO, my first week of school. It was interesting and clumsy and confusing and fun. I took your nerdy advice and be'd myself whilst not being shy. And now I have a group of fun friends.
I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm going to a Catholic school. Now, religion, for me, has never been a big thing. I'm not Catholic, nor Christian, nor any "God" believing religion. If I were to pick a religion that fits my system of beliefs, it would be Taoism. That's what I tell everyone I am.
The reason I bring this up, is because today we had our first Mass. Now, I've never been to a Catholic school before, and I didn't know what to expect. There was a lot of standing up and sitting down and praying and saying things and making hand motions. It was all kind of a blur to me, with one of my friends sitting next to me whispering what I had to do next. But honestly, I was a little intrigued. I've learned about all different types of religions before, but I'd never really experienced it like this. Most of the students in the audience looked kind of bored. I'm figuring that they are Catholic because their parents are Catholic. But there were a few, my whispering friend included, who were really... into it! I was amazed! I mean, I suppose that I shouldn't be, but I was. It's really got me thinking about religion. This whole thing and the whole Qur'an burning predicament (which I think is crazy and very disrespectful, personally) has got me really thinking about religion? Any thoughts? I don't mind if you don't want to share, I understand this is a personal issue. Just thought I'd throw my opinions out there.
Wow, Bridget just got deep. :o Better fix that. Uhmmm...

RESPONSES:
Monday - Jess: WOW! Sounds like a hectic family. But fun at the same time. I understand the whole school nervousness thing. HOW DID IT GO? 8D And my favourite colour (coloUr) is blue. Good luck on NaNo and Screnzy! We will have to share, swap, and shtuff when the time comes! 8D
Tuesday - Annica: Sounds like a pretty fulfilling day of High School. Trust me, it gets easier. xD And I completely understand about the moving away thing. I was that person very recently, and it sucks on both ends. As for the clubs, I have no idea. My school is really sports oriented, so that stinks for my, lil' miss artsy. But I might look for a hockey team outside of school, as well as a new group to play D&D in.
Wednesday - Winona: You're not the boring one! Haha, actually the telephone thing made me laugh pretty hard. But now it's stuck in my head and I hate you so much because it will be there for days. xD Juuuust kidding. But seriously, OOOOH male interests. Bridget wants to know, Bridget wants to know! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos, my walls, and NaNo! Again, we'll have to share! 8D
Thursday - Sanja: That's cool that you like your Socials and Maths! I can't stand math personally, but that's just because I'm so bad at it (I can't morph/argue the answer, so it's hard for me, haha). And wooow SENIOR. I guess I'll have to look up to your now, eh? :o Thanks for the tips about the new kid scene. Yeah I've been the new kid A LOT but I've always met up with one person before I went to school.

Have a good weekend everyone, and Jess, I'll read you on Monday! 8D
It took me a moment to get that first picture... but when I did, I sure felt pretty darn good about myself :P
