and her name was ann.

so this girl comes into work tonight and kevin was on the register and i was making a drink and she goes to him, "are you religious?" and kevin is a lot like me in some ways although probably more believing. so he said yes or something like that and she's all like "i'm your sister in christ and you are my brother!" he was pretty polite to her but he was definitely caught off guard. i was watching and was like, "wow" or something but either she didn't hear me or she did hear me and didn't want to talk to me. i wanted her to ask me but she didn't. i would have said yes, i worship satan and nature godesses. or i'm a devout muslim. i wonder what the blonde princess would have said. she didnt even want to say anything to him; she pretty much left right away after they found out they were related. how fucking inappropriate. he was at work behind a counter. what if he had said no. oh well, i bet she's happy she filled her quota for the day. im like "wow, you are a target, kevin." he said, "ya, i feel like a target." if you were not a christian you'd have probably feel insulted and experienced no real introduction to god's character other than a shit one. and if you were a christian it's kinda belittling and just awkward and oh lucky you your sister is a dip shit. i just dont respect contact evangelism at all unless you have this super duper discernment and feel like speaking to someone about their life is necessary at that moment. otherwise it appears so meaningless. it's like casual sex or something. it's way personal but leaves the person feeling empty and used afterwards. i remember being on the spring break trip and we were walking back to our place after the christian festival and doug randomly said hello to this guy walking by and the guy goes, "ya, i'm already a christian!" like he knew exactly what doug's real motives were. it's kind of bizarre. the guy didnt even want to say hello back but wanted to shut off all doors of communication. anyway, that's all i wanted to say. i was infuriated afterwards but am feeling emotionless about it now...pretty much anyway. people are dumb. that's always the best conclusion to make.

oh ya. that movie we saw last night. the big chill. it was insane. it starred lauren bacall and humphry bogart or however the hell you spell it. my mom and i basically laughed through the whole thing. it was so sexist and weird. but the interesting thing about it was that it seemed like witty flirting/banter was like foreplay. i dunno. just the relationships between men and women were pretty fucked up. there was this really old comic that i saw at the flea market that was titled, "the three kinds of women." they were mrs. miss and missed. the first was a pic of a VERY fat woman in a moomoo with kids climbing all over her. the second was a pic of a pinup type girl with her hand on her hip. the third was a cartoon of an ugly librarian. i was like, wow that's kind of offensive. then like a few seconds later im like, hey. that's REALLY offensive. i told kevin about it and he told me that he went to an antique store and saw a pin of a guy strangling this girl and the caption said, "treat em tough" or something like that. as much as i dont think we are totally there with gender equality i am definitely thankful i'm not from the first half of the 1900's, no matter how many hats, muffs and hoop skirts i would get to wear.

Ya, I don't have Knox email. I have an msn address. That should have worked and I think you know that one too, right? Ya, totally crazy story. Maybe she was trying to hit on him or something crazy like that? I dunno. I told some of the Wheaton students I work with and they weren't surprised but they said it was retarded. This one girl was like, "You should have said, 'Ya, I'm a Christian. I'm a Mormon.' They really love that." Hahahahahaha. DO you still have your Knox mail? Cause I'll mail you my address if you don't have mine.
