a very sad day for our country when the fraud in the white house decides to pick an attorney general who has such a sordid record and past.

my brother is a de anza student and was asking me what the problem with our generation is. i wish i knew what to tell him other than the fact that we live in a broken world. and people *wonder* why i’m so stressed and why i have ptsd…

if bush sympathizes with the state of california so much, he can take cold showers, lose his heat, and have the power go out in the middle of an important paper. but wait… if he did anything to ease the power crunch, he’d lose campaign funds. funny how this alleged “uniter” is really a major “divider”.

as someone who was sexually harassed in high school, this story broke my heart, especially the fact that the boys don’t get punished and the girls get suspended for fighting back. i feel the pain of these girls as i struggled with night terrors for two years afterward and am just *now* starting to feel safe again.
well… i started the process for moving in with amy and kurt and linda today. all i need to pack is my computer, my books, and my clothes before i move on wednesday.
well… urban plunge was amazing and awesome. people from santa cruz and from santa clara university spent the weekend learning about God’s love for the poor, doing service projects, and fellowshipping together. we were staying at san francisco christian center and they were wonderful hosts. the people who came by during the weekend were all asking us how things were going, if they could do anything for us, and we worshipped with them today. it’s an african-american church so for many of us it was a cross-cultural worship experience. it was an amazing service and one of the most alive ones that i have ever been to. there were 70 year old women in the aisles dancing to the youth choir and we were just getting down to the music and dancing.
some highlights of the weekend were:
-meals
-the skits on saturday night, especially the genesis one. (think beatnik poetry meets the pentateuch with some 50’s music thrown in)
-scouring steps and weeding gardens on saturday
-the worship service this morning
-lunch today. (cheap but good mexican food)
-the time when everyone was getting ready for bed and were talking
ok… the trees are dancing kind of wildly. this isn’t a good thing.
i will probably not update this page until sunday afternoon since i’ll be in sfo with iv doing social work type stuff from friday afternoon to sunday afternoon. we’ll be working with various groups there and staying at a church. it should be really wonderful.
