I'm officially done with Fall '09 Finals, thankyougod, ugh. Now it's just playing the waiting game for my final grades, and praying that I did well. I know I've got an A in my CMIS, and more than likely a B (which should've been an A) in my Shakespeare/Plutarch/Ovid class. But, meh, all speculation.

I'm listening to Beauty and the Beast for the 358692785902 time at work right now. I love this movie. Can quote the entire thing. I will admit to skipping past Gaston's solo though, since I just sort of hate that scene; no thanks.

Next week (Tuesday) I'll be in Canada with Matthew, and before then I need to get laundry done, mail off some packages/presents, pay my rent in advance, pack (guh, hate packing), maybe get my hair trimmed? I dunno'. Buncha' stuff I need to get done, yarr.

Mostly though, I'm gonna' sleep in and relax. Relaxing in between semesters is key.

Oh yeah, gotta' return books tonight. They're all checked-off and in the car waiting.


everything
in its right place

If a loved one got diagnosed with a painful, terminal illness and asked you to help them terminate their life before they deteriorated, would you do it? If so, would you want to be present during their last moments?

Yes, and yes.

edit I suspect elaboration is expected here. Mostly due to the difference people will state between 'killing' this person and providing them mercy. I for one do not believe that the human spirit just stops. I mean, really? Any Christian who is offended by 'mercy killing' (or whatever they want to call it) should really reevaluate their faith; don't they believe in heaven after all? Couldn't you say that, in a time of such exquisite and awful pain that will deplete this person anyway, God is possibly testing you? (Mostly this is my cynicism for how everything in life is apparently just a 'test' from God; sometimes, shit just happens).

I believe in something not-absolute. Christianity feels absolute. You die, you go to heaven. Bam, done. Check please. I do not believe that souls or life forces or spirits have set pathways. I do not believe we weigh eight grams, and I do not believe that helping someone terminate their mortal, physical body does any harm on the beautiful spirit within. Instead, we are relieving them of a cage that has grown old, twisted or is repelling the life within it. Release it, and let it be reborn.
