Really I just use these to express my thoughts that I don't want to write a whole blog about, yet need to be said.
First of all,
Girls struggle with lust too. Nobody ever tells girls how to fight the temptation to lust, they only tell us how to keep the boys from lusting.
"But, Amanda. Guys are more visually stimulated."
So? I don't understand how that matters.
I mean, sure. Guys are bombarded with those types of images every time they turn on the computer, tv, or just go outside. I get it. I don't think that guys should be taught in any way different than I've heard them being taught.
The problem is, girls don't only lust when they see a guy in a swimsuit. So, yes, a muscular, shirtless dude might cause a girl to lust. But we can be just as attracted to a fully clothed fellow. Ever heard the saying "A well tailored suit is to women as lingerie is to men"? Yeah well... Not far from the truth.
It makes me mad that whenever the topic of lust comes up because no one ever says "Oh yeah. We all struggle with that." It's "Oh yeah. There's not a guy in here that can't say he hasn't lusted." As if no girl has ever lusted ever.
When the girls get the modesty talk at church, the guys get the how not to lust talk and that's not the way it should be.
The temptation is real for everyone and everyone should be taught how to deal with it.
Okay, now that I got that out of the system:
If one more person talks to me about pre-destination, Open Theism, or whether God "knows" the future I'm going to lose it. At school, at church, in my family, then at school again.
We are never going to know. So, in my opinion, we should definitely stop all the pointless debates when no one's going to change their minds and move on to different issues.
On a lighter note, SHERLOCK IS AMAZING. If you don't like it, I severely question your judgement and will probably never trust a recommendation from you ever again.
So.... the Broncos lost the Superbowl. Poop.
I'm really not looking forward to seeing my Seahawk fan friends this week.
It is significantly harder to talk out loud than it is to write something. And I don't understand why.

(Hashtags are fun. hehehehe.)
Okay- so JK Rowling just said that Ron and Hermione shouldn't have ended up together and that makes me so mad. Because.... Harry and Ginny needed to happen. So Hermione couldn't have ended with Harry because he belongs with Ginny. THEY BELONG TOGETHER. IT'S TRUE LOVE.
So, is it strange to talk about fictional characters like they're real? Because I definitely do that and I think most of my friends and family think I'm strange. I can't be the only one.
I'm emotionally invested in the characters of whatever I'm in to. When John was talking to Sherlock at Sherlock's grave..... Or basically anything that has to do with Snape ever.... Really just any book that's well-written. The characters mean something to me. So naturally when something bad happens to them, I'm going to be sad for them. The best writers (script or book) will spark this emotion in the consumer. And, the stories of books and TV are more interesting than my own life. (The fictional story having, of course, a plot, climax, antagonist etc.) This is why I read. This is why anyone watches TV or movies. It's all part of entertainment.
*sigh*
So my family's adopting a dog! I'm really excited. I'm crossing my fingers for a Saint Bernard......
"Frozen" was good.... Excellent, actually. But not as spectacular as everyone is saying it is.... I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
To finish this lovely, rant-filled blog post, I shall add a comic that I thought was hilarious:
Much love,
Amanda. <3
