Geez! We're almost halfway into April. I'm turning into a blog slacker again.
I'm leaving on Thursday for L.A. I can't wait to get the hell out of here. I need some time away from everything. Well, not everything. My knitting is coming with me. I bought some new yarn for a pair of socks. Something to keep me busy on the flights to and from.
Yes, it's Easter and I am in the office. I needed to print the invitations to my sister's baby shower and I have a ton of work to catch up on before I leave town. When I told some friends I was working today (only because they asked what I was doing this weekend), I think they felt sorry for me. "You're working on Easter?" There really is no reason to feel sorry for me. It's not a big holiday in my book. If my family had planned something I probably would not be here, but we haven't really done anything on this holiday since I was a kid. It's just another Sunday. By the way, I am an atheist - the only one in my immediate family. While I don't purposely keep it a secret, I don't tell many people (until now I suppose). It's kind of a funny thing. A lot of people think it's strange not to believe in a god and then those same people start trying to stir up an argument. I don't really want to get into it. I have nothing against people who believe in a god and who have religion in their lives. To a certain extent, I am envious. I think that while those beliefs can divide people, they also bring people together in a very tight way. I am all for community. Now I know that there are lots of places other than a church that I can find community, but sometimes I wish I had a group of atheist friends I could hang with. Not because I want to get together and talk about being an atheist, but so we can do things without it (religion/god/etc.) being an issue. Does that make sense?
