I'll leave my eighteen year old self to introduce today's past entry.
I just came back from a Christiany event thingy, well actually I just came back from an after event celebratory McDonalds. It was soo much fun. Like brilliant. The event that is McDonalds was evil coz they chucked us all out. How rude.
I'm a youth worker, I know lots of eighteen year olds, it's part of my job, very few of them would have posted the above on their website though. Of those who would have a website and would write about such things, I imagine all of them wouldn't use the phrase 'like brilliant' as a standalone sentence. But if all I did was slag off my grammar and spelling, well I'd have material to last years but it'd get dull fast. So, with some difficulty, ignoring the poor language skills, the more important things.
Now if you're not a churchy/christiany person then worships like doing anything that glorifies God, but it's also used as a word to describe singing songs and stuff.
Gosh, look at me the amateur linguist and theologian that I am/was1. I not only display a grasp of the semantic range of words but I also show a passable understanding of the first few points of the Westminster Catechism. But, that's probably a worrying sentence showing how I've changed. Sad to say I'm not sure I would write something like that these days, not that I don't believe it, because I do, nor because I feel ashamed to talk about God and worship, but I'm not so sure I'd write stuff so simply. I'd disguise it in bigger words and make it more intellectual and so prove that I was clever in other men's eyes and not possessing some simple faith so plain it's near foolishness. Alas, the disease of pride sneaks into every action. Still, at least I don't want to turn every sentence into a simile.
And on a lighter note:
...Halo, and he pointed out how "cold light of day" [single by Halo] sounds like "Survivor" by Destiny's Child bahaha it's soo true.
And he was completely and utterly correct on that.
1 I'm still not sure how to deal with tense in these entries.
Ha! I never purchased one, though I almost got one of the third generation lot that Helen designed. Alas I didn't though and now have no old band t-shirts that'll look awesome in the far future.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

I found my long lost Steve tshirt a few weeks ago. I still love it. Something to do with the way it fits. And the fact that its got a great big tape in the middle of it.
The 2nd Gen tshirts weren't as good - too baggy, the marroon became too red and the tape image went too small. Sell outs.
