I went to Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. It was super bizarre and awesome. Then I realized that my mom used to go to that. A lot. Was she really one of those people?????? hella weird.

Sorry(?) I haven't posted in a really long time... nothing to write about, I guess. Merry CHristmas, I guess? I hope it's a good one (without any fear). Hopefully not too much consumerism stressing everyone out... I wish I had experienced the mall so that I could see how stressed everything was... I did all of my shopping at Barnes and Noble, and managed to get my whole family books that they enjoyed. It led to a quiet Christmas since we all had our noses in books, but I was pleased that I didn't epically fail at knowing my families tastes.

I'm part of the way through A Prayer for Owen Meany (thanks efar) and Into the Wild (thanks like 12 angsty teenagers). I've also finished Jesus wants to Save Christians, Rob Bell's latest. He lays out a systematic theology that is much more political/global than anything I've ever read by him. It all centers around Exodus and how God led them out of Egypt and from oppression, and then cautions us from becoming Solomon's Israel and focussing on accumulating wealth and arms. It sounds a lot like anything that Shane Claiborne would write, although much more Biblically focussed. All are great and I recommend them.

damn... 3 more weeks until Blacksburg. Why do we not start around the 10th like normal schools? Oh well, I should be able to knock out a lot of the reading I've wanted to do. I still have something by Brian McLaren and something by Ravi Zacharias that I'd like to read.
