sihayadesignsI've lost my voice. I now have this scratchy smoker thing going on, and I'm coughing like something awful. I am not terribly happy, although Chris is coming over tonight to hopefully fix my computer. So... yay for having Photoshop back. And my uh... porn. And not having to go to the computer lab to write papers. And hey! I might even be able to keep up with my friendslist again. Also, I'm going straight to Just Pope Motion (heheh... John Paul II's doing the cabbage patch in my head) and d/ling some new music.
The holidays are coming up, and the RAs are planning our holiday party. Keep in mind that on my staff, there are 2 agnostics, 3 hardcore Christians (Thea, Will, & Jessie), and me. I'm in charge of fliers.
Me: So, what do you think? Christmas tree fliers?
Thea: We don't want to alienate non-Christians.
Me: Well, the tree is more than the symbol of one religion.
Thea: No one's going to know that.
Me: Okay, how about candy canes? I know the whole shepherds in the fields thing, blah blah... but most people just think 'candy!'
Thea: Let's stay away from religious imagery alltogether.
Me: Okay. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Thea: Santa's in that one. He's a Christian figure.
Me: Um. Actually... *thinks the better of it* Well, nowadays, he's secular. You know, like the Easter Bunny.
Thea: No.
Me: How about I put up a blank sheet of paper and we call it "Snow"?
Erica: That's not funny.
Me: Fine. I'm putting up the Little Baby Jesus and that will be that.
Erica: I have to approve these, you know.
Me: Damn you all. There's a thing as being *TOO* PC. I'm the godless heathen, why am I the one saying this??
Jessie: Hey, I have Pagan friends. That's not fair.
Me: *shoots her a withering stare*
Your Existing Situation:: Seeks roots, stability, emotional security, and an environment providing greater ease and fewer problems.
Your Stress Sources:: Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness and of separation from others. Believes that life still has far more to offer and that she may miss her share of experiences if she fails to make the best use of every opportunity. She therefore pursues her objectives with a fierce intensity and commits herself deeply and readily. Feels herself to be completely competent in any field in which she engages, and can sometimes be considered by others to be interfering or meddlesome.
Your Restrained Characteristics:: Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship. Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.
Your Desired Objective:: Preoccupied with things of an intensely exciting nature, whether erotically stimulating or otherwise. Wants to be regarded as an exciting and interesting personality with an altogether charming and impressive influence on others. Uses tactics skillfully so as to avoid endangering her chances of success or undermining others' confidence in herself.
Your Actual Problem:: The fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants leads her to play her part with an urgent and hectic intensity. Fights against restriction or limitation, and insists on developing freely as a result of her own efforts.
All of that from the order I picked colors. Shut. Up.
Okay. Off to go to class. We're doing Chocolat & sensuality today in Women & Food. There are worse things I could be looking at while miserable.

Date: 2004-11-16 12:06 pm (UTC)I'm with you. As an atheist, I get asked if I celebrate Christmas. My standard reply is, "Sure. Jesus has nothing to do with Christmas as it's celebrated in the U.S." Even most Christians agree with me on that one.

Date: 2004-11-16 01:46 pm (UTC)Also, your staff amuses me. ...could you put up something representing each holiday? Like, say, a tree, a star of david, a yule log, and a snowflake for the atheists?
Or maybe just a snowflake.
Got a link to the Color Quiz?
