I don't have anything crazy ridiculous, more silly, but what the hell.

I was just reading a story on this, and I know a lot of people don't like her, so my UO is that I am OBSESSED with Taylor Swift dating a Kennedy. I also big pink puffy heart love the Kennedy's, so that is part of it too. And I want Taylor to be my little sister. I adore her.

Also, I love the Kardashians, and wish I could be a part of their crazy ass family. They crack me up. Also, because I feel like this on a daily basis:

UO: I can't freaking wait for summer to be over. I'm so done with hot weather - I need some crisp mornings and sweaters.

THAT GIF!!!! I saw that episode over the weekend. Also, I have nothing else to add. So sorry, so lame.

My bf is so completely clueless sometimes. And today, I kinda hate him for it. Ok, not hate, but I'm really really annoyed!

I confess I think I would have gone completely crazy without you guys.  I you all.

I can't think of anything else right now, besides family drama.

<div>Agreed. I usually love the summer but I'm still super pale and do not feel attractive in dresses and shorts, so I'm looking forward to fall in order to be able to wear leggings instead of pants. And sweaters!</div>

I swear I thought of a UO yesterday but now I can't remember it.

I wore a sweater today.  Partly because I am ready for fall and partly because I haven't done laundry in weeks and sweaters and long sleeves are all that are clean.

UO:

I don't get the uproar over Chick-Fil-A.  How is it surprising that a restaurant closed on Sundays due to religious beliefs would have a COO who believes in "the biblical definition of the family unit"?  It seems odd that so many people have applauded Chick-Fil-A for staying true to their beliefs by being closed on Sundays, yet are outraged to hear the owner's beliefs on marriage.

What upsets me (and I stopped eating Chick-Fil-A a year ago because of this, thank you very much) is not the owner's beliefs -- I've always known they were a Christian-owned company and that's just fine by me -- but the fact that they donate money to organizations that lobby against marriage rights.

They have every right to do that, of course, but I also have every right to stop giving them my money if that's what they're going to do with it.


And, with that, I've rememebered my UO.  Posting soon.

I have been saying this same thing! It shouldn't be a shock to anyone. The company clearly has a religious background.
Do people really think that every CEO of a company has the same opinions as them in order for them to shop there? Shorter lines for me at Chick-Fil-A.

UO (Perhaps):  I've always kind of felt this way, but with all the CFA stuff going on right now, it's really getting to me this week...  Anyway, I can't help but roll my eyes a little when I hear/read people talking about how hard it is to be open about their Christian beliefs, or when people figuratively pat themselves on the back for not being afraid to admit that they're Christian.

Give me a break.

In the US, almost 80% of people identify themselves as Christians of some form.  I realize that statistic doesn't get represented the same in every region (here, it's probably more like 95%), but still.  It's a whole lot harder to say that you're not Christian.

I confess that I'm super stressed about how much money we're spending on our wedding. I wish I could go back & change some things but unfortunately it doesn't seem like that's an option.

I confess that I haven't been this lazy in years & I don't care as much as I should about that.

For example: I'm pretty open, and think if gay people want to get married, yee fricken ha. If they want to be as miserable/happy add the rest of us, they should have that right.

This is yet another issue.  Boston and other cities want to deny CFA permitting to open in their cities.  This is unconstitutional.  You cannot prevent a company from opening due to its religious beliefs.  What if a city wanted to deny a company permits because the owners were African American?  No WAY would that fly.

These two things just make me sick.  The first statement makes it obvious that the children are just mimicking what their parents say<u> without </u><u>being explained to what it means</u> (I'm aware this working is quite awkward).

You don't even want to get me started on sex ed...

I'm actually surprised that there is a Chick-Fil-A (I still want to pronounce it like it rhymes with Godzilla) opening in San Jose. I'm not sure how well they will do in the Bay Area. We're a pretty liberal and pro gay rights place.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:Unpop Opinons/Confessions/Flames/Whatevers. : I unfriended two different people on FB today for posting about how they can't wait to eat at CFA.  One of them said she would be eating there for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks today even though she doesn't like their food.  I was so angered by that.

</div><div>People who are eating there just to prove a point today and posting it all over facebook are really making me angry too. Some of them are shocking. I have a fb friend that works for CFA (in their marketing dept) and posted a huge long status this morning about how she supports the employees of CFA and the fact that CFA has helped her family accomplish goals they never thought possible. I eat at CFA because I enjoy their tea and waffle fries. I know that withdrawing my buisness won't stop them from donating money to anti-gay marriage lobbyists, and the amount of money I spend there is insiginficant. (Am I making sense? They're going to donate money no matter what, my $2/month isn't going to make much of a difference.) I'm aware this makes me sound like I have no convictions, etc., but I love gay people, I believe sexuality is something that is very complex, yet very simple at times and our culture places waaaaay too much empasis on it. I also like waffle fries, dammit.</div><div>

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:Unpop Opinons/Confessions/Flames/Whatevers. : These two things just make me sick.  The first statement makes it obvious that the children are just mimicking what their parents say without being explained to what it means (I'm aware this working is quite awkward). You don't even want to get me started on sex ed...

</div><div>Yet another reason I feel called into youth ministry. Someone needs to be there in the trenches with them and helping them out because their parents sure as hell don't want to believe it. These kids face so much and they just need to learn who they are before they start having sex in an unhealthy, dependent relationship. </div>
