<a href="http://evilslutopia.com/2009/10/afas-war-on-war-on-christmas.html">Yes, the fact that some stores choose to use a general holiday greeting that applies to everyone is a horrible nightmare. Sometimes when I'm out shopping for gifts and someone in a store wishes me "happy holidays", I find myself losing my moral and spiritual bearings and beginning to question who I am as a person and reevaluating the meaning of life(...).</a>

If someone says something to you that's generic about celebrating the end of the calender year and the winter solstice and the multiple holidays from multiple religions because that person/group wants to be all-inclusive, and you start questioning your belief in your religion and morals, I'm thinking that your belief was not that strong to begin with or you have more doubts than the average person who shops at holiday times.

Or you're just an asshole.



Also, if you don't do something <i>just because</i> an invisible skyfriend told you it's bad and NOT because it's morally repugnant independent of religious tenants, that just strikes me as illogical; especially when they say something that sounds suspiciously like they're to the point where if they didn't have religion they'd be on a spree. Such as: "murder is bad because you're snuffing out a life and dude, that's harsh", not "murder is bad because it's forbidden by my religion".

I'm-a stop ranting now. <a href="http://evilslutopia.com/2008/12/dumb-things-guys-say-happy-holidays.html">I swear.</a> <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/randompictures/7791206.html?thread=84515430#t84515430">I'm bowing out now.</a>

So! Finally cracked 26k on the NaNoHellNo today! yay! WHich means that I have....4 days to write 24k words. Let's do the math: that means that I would have to write 6k words on average for the next four days. Since I'm not <lj-user="nepthys6669"> I don't see this happening. For example, I'm currently here, instaed of writing. See? That's like 500 wrods I coulda been working on if I hadn't been checking LJ, FB, MILA, Fmysex, photobomb, etc etc etc.

I looked through the sale papers. I might go check some Balck Friday things. 1.5TB external hard drive for like $80? SCORE! 8gb thumb drive for $10! Badow! Random shiny crap? Yeah! Only problem is that it's all at different stores, and my gas light came on. So... yeah.

Also, I think Apple's having a sale on Friday. I might just say tah heck with it and jsut go on spending blitz there. yay shiny! Yay possibly overpriced shiny!
