"...and it's complicated"you know i'm trying hard to say

Doctrine of SalvationDoctrine of Salvation   
At first glance, it might seem like the doctrine of salvation goes against everything that feminism upholds.  Feminists have fought for decades so that women of all races, classes, abilities, and geographic locations would be considered "worthy" of being people.  Feminist thealogians have fought for decades against the notion that Eve's inherent (read: tempting) nature as woman was not what caused "the Fall" from Eden.  The last thing women need to be told is that we are in need of being saved-we've just barely got to the point where we're OK as we are.   
So why bothe Doctrine of Salvation

ResilienceHearts mend hearts bend in  
Time we find we all come around and then  We all fall down (again)  And again and again and again…  Hearts mend hearts bend hearts turn into  the Sun (like bigbrown yellow/green smack-kiss sunflowers yes)  beating (beading) rays down into the earth on shiny-pearl strings.  Feeding the ground, the worms, the death and decay back into  
Life, (again)  And again and again and again… Resilience

The lease runs out next week

Mmmm.

The semester's almost over. I can't believe that's true. I'm not sure if I want it to be true! There's still so much left to do...

Halifax is being good to me. Maybe not stimulating my poetry brain, but stimulating my brain and my heart and tear ducts and joyous Penny love side, for sure. I haven't felt this much like me in a very long time. I'm finally back to Ms Sunshine and Puppies Feminist Care Bear Penny, and it feels good to care-bear-stare down the world this way. It feels good to wake up and remember that life is Good, and that love is all around me. It feels good to be head-over heels in crush with someone who drives me insane but is oh so good at making me smile, dance, and wiping my tears away. Sighs. My body's singing. This is what I've been waiting for. I deserve this--and it feels good.

That sure is Jem! I grew up with her as one of my childhood idols...were you there when Gabby was talking about having Britney Spears as her childhood female role model? Well, I had Rainbow Brite, Jem, She-ra, and Strawberry Shortcake...She said that seemed to explain a lot about me. (smile)

i guess i wasn't, damn. i never really had role models; could never find anybody i was entirely happy with. but that WOULD explain a lot about you!

if only you had met me in me teenage years...I was like the second coming of Rainbow Brite. It was intense. I had these awesome rainbow ruber bracelets filled with glitter and water that I wore almost up to my elbows one both arms. If there was one motto I had, it was "How many colours can I wear today?" I thin I've kind of toned it down since, sometimes (maybe) unfortunately.

I moved in August of 2008. I do realize you asked me quite a while ago.. have you always lived in Vancouver?!
:iconbetween-dreams:
~between-dreams Apr 17, 2009, 9:59:40 PM
no, I just lived there from July 2008-April 2009. A short stint, I guess. We should have hooked up!

Just so you know:

Whenever I see your avatar, I start singing the opening theme to Jem in my head. It usually gets worse and worse until I start up with this goofy smile-thing -- and it doesn't stop for a good half day. It gets very bad during school, when I'm giggling while my professors are talking about weird things like male-biased dispersion or glycolytic substrates.

....I feel like a geek now.
