Aug. 6th, 2005 04:54 pmI am an idiot. I actually made a proper dinner to bring to work tonight so I don't starve, complete with fresh peach from the Farmer's Market (mmmm yum), and even put it in a paper bag so it wouldn't squish in my backpack.
...And then I forgot it in the car. G'dammit, I'm hungry.
[ETA: And then my dad brought me dinner! Because my parents are just cool like that.]
I went to a wedding this morning. It was truly bizarre. It was at the University Baptist Church, and I don't know if the Baptists had anything to do with this, but it was really slow and solemn and kind of depressing. The officiator was very strange, and every time he said "Christ in you" (which he did often), it was exactly the same way as every other time. Exactly. Kind of creepy, actually. There was a huge long service and a sermon before the ceremony even began--all about how we are committing adultery with matter* and are feeding the pigs in our highrise apartments and office buildings; I'm not sure the prodigal son would be my first choice for a wedding sermon. The ceremony itself was also inexplicably solemn and slow, and all about how polarities and opposites must come together to create something new. He kept saying that, over and over, in various ways. Also how the groom creates some light that the bride follows and together they walk on the path toward the gate of the community of life. Bizarre, I tell you. Truly bizarre.
My wedding is going to be outside, whether it's raining or not, and I'm going barefoot, and none of these long sermony texts, and I'm not wearing white. So there.
*Coming off of "His Dark Materials" this amused me greatly, because I kept thinking, but yes! The Dust would want you to! Spirit and matter are one in conciousness! ...and then I just got silly.
