Yup, yup. Christmas eve, I went to see my cousins, like every year. And it was fun, like always. Today, we'll be going to visit the other side of the family. Only problem with that is one of my Aunts is in the hospital after a car accident, and my Grandma is sick. We'll be okay though, there's plenty of fun to be had!
So, apparently not all my presents came on time, but that's no problem. There were two presents I really wanted. One was a phone (took long enough. I was probably the only high schooler without a phone. It'll take a lot of stress off me, like the fear of being stuck at school with no way to contact anyone again. That wasn't very fun the first time.) The other thing I wanted I'm a bit disappointed wasn't there... Books 1, 2, and 3 of Avatar the Last Airbender. But my mom knew I wanted it, so it's probably just late(I'm hoping). I also want the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood DVDs, but I didn't tell my mom that (whoops). That's okay, I'll get it another time. Overall, I'm happy.
Next thing I want to say, because it's major to me, is about an argument I had with a friend(I don't know if I can call him that anymore...). Anyway, it was about my opinion on homosexuality. We all know what happened with Phil Robertson, the guy from Duck Dynasty, right? Anyway, I shared a photo on Facebook saying I support him, and my friend, Ryan, got mad at me. I don't think he understands my opinion at all. Nobody get mad at me, lemme explain. I don't hate or discriminate homosexuals. Most Christians would know that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, and I believe that. There's a little philosophy I hear at church all the time, "Hate the sin but love the sinner." But apparently Ryan thought that disagreeing is discriminating and restricting gay rights. Whatever. This conversation went on over text for two days. He said it was my fault because I shared the picture, I told him he could have ignored it(it's my facebook wall, I can put whatever I want on it), but he said it offended him, then I told him it offended me that he could respect my opinion. I thought that would get him, but then he straight up told me he doesn't respect my opinion because it is ill informed. But he was the one trying to argue with me about the Bible when I clearly know more about it and he doesn't even own one. In the end, I think I won because he yelled and swore at me, then quit talking to me. I did not swear once or call him an idiot like he did to me. I used a couple exclamation points, but less than he did.
I felt bad about the it at first because I should have dropped it sooner. But I don't feel guilty anymore. He asked ME what my opinion was, then he argued with me about it as I defended my point. I really got him with a quote from George Orwell, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." I think he hates me now... point proven. If he still wants to be friends with me after this, I'm willing. If not... oh well. I have much better friends. Isn't that right j-bob1? (I showed her the entire conversation. XD)
Again, gay people can do what they want for all I care, I just don't agree with them and wish they'd stop shoving all their gay rights stuff in my face. They keep telling us to get in line, but since when have Americans cared about lines? I get cut in front of all the time.
To end this journal on a happy note:
Christmas is awesome and my favorite part is being with my friends and family. Now I have work to do. Pencil and paper, ready!
If you made it through my rant and to the end of this journal, congrats and have a very Merry Christmas. Don't forget: "Pray to whatever deities you may worship. If there are any atheists among us, you may pray to science." ~ Mr. Eckelstone, your driver's ed instructor. (Studio C)
Please help my disabled uncle *go fund me*
My uncle had a stroke a couple months ago and is now disabled. He's only 49. Applying for any government financial assistance takes a long time. But bills still need to be paid in the meantime, which he cannot do on his own now. There's been a lot of other issues leading up to this including multiple deaths in our family, and my grandma had a stroke literally four days before he had his. So funds in general are stretched pretty thin already and insurance isn't helping anymore. We're doing what we can but between caring for him and my grandma, everyone is feeling the stress. So we would really appreciate any help. https://gofund.me/b115c54c
Star Wars the Clone Wars Watchlist I've made
So Clone Wars is one of my favorite shows. But there are some episodes that make me wonder why. I've found lists of essential episodes to watch(many with some variations), but rarely why we should or shouldn't watch them. So I put together a complete list of what episodes are worth watching vs skipping and why. Of course, it's still somewhat subjective, but I tried to keep it as neutral as I could(by basing it off plot relevancy). Y'all are welcome to check it out. And if you think I'm wrong or have suggestions, feel free to message me about it! I'll probably be constantly going back and editing it for a while. Changing my mind and all that, ya know? THIS IS THE GOOGLE DOC It's in chronological order, with links to the episodes on Disney+, which I got from star wars dot com. Arcs/connected episodes are grouped together, and you can filter categories of episodes out based on various criteria. It's clunky, and might be easier if you skip the filter feature, but it's what I could do and
Update on my Uncle
So he made it through the night, but his condition was still really bad. His family decided to take him off life support and he passed away about an hour later. Part of what makes this so hard is that it was completely unexpected. If he'd been sick or something, there would have been some time to come to terms with it beforehand. It's so weird to think that someone can be perfectly fine one moment, and not the next. Gets me into some sort of existential crisis or something. Long story short, he worked building wood staircases(made some really great stuff), and fell off one headfirst a couple stories onto concrete. He was life flighted to the hospital and stabilized in surgery. But the fall damaged his neck, which cut off blood supply to his brain. My uncle was a good, kind, and hardworking man. He was about 58, I believe, and could have easily had at least 20 more years in him. He left behind a wife, 8 kids, grandkids(I think 6 is the current number), siblings, and friends. He

Glad to hear that from you.
Basically, any sexuality is fine with me. The only one I can't stand is stuck-up-selfish-uality.
