Did anyone see this little gem from several days ago? I just came across it on the April 4 post.

“While I agee with you that they should respect your right to privacy, I feel I must remind you that this country you live in is a religious country. Why do you think a lot of the original settlers came here, many for religious freedom. You have every right to not believe in God or to believe in Him. He believes in you and loves you. Have a great day!

Too bad I did not see this until today…  I fail to see how a piece of land is religious.

I am getting sick and tired of people *witnessing* for Islam. They are JUST as bad as Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and every other person trying to cram their religion down someone’s throat. Simply because they desire to worship a goddess, gods, God, or supernatural powers does not mean that they have a right to tell me about it when I clearly state that I have no desire to hear about it. It does not give them a right to solicit at my front door when a sign at the front of the neighborhood clearly says NO soliciting. It also does not give them a right to SPAM my inbox. If you want to worship a god, goddess, God, or supernatural power of your choice that is fine but leave me out of it. If you want to keep that to yourself, that is wonderful. Nevertheless, if you cannot obey the laws, stay away from my house or my email box, and feel it is necessary to witness to me, then perhaps you should move to a religious country like Iran. Muslims know why they do not believe in the Christian religion and likewise Christians know why they do not believe in the Muslim religion. Since they understand that, they should be able to wrap their brains around why I do not believe in ANY of them. The South can be such an irritating place to live.

I am now home from the awards banquet. The small talk was plentiful as we had an hour for dinner before they even started giving out awards. Luckily, the mayor is a major extrovert; he spoke, and told jokes the whole time so no one else had to do much talking. The council members were extremely extroverted as well so they handled all the small talk. I only really held a conversation with one of the council member’s wives who was very quiet and was not trying to scream across the table or keep shaking my hand. I shook 47 people’s hands. They must all need votes… I then had to wash my hands many times to get people germs off.

The only bad extroverted issue was when I first sat down at the table and a woman whom I have never met comes up to me and says, “I have seen you before! I know your parents and your last name is Johnson, right?” I replied saying, “Yes it is.” Then she says, “Your first name escapes me.” Instead of asking my name, she practically fondles my breast for my nametag. She takes more time than I would have liked and finds it (like it was somehow difficult to find in the first place) and says my name. She could have just asked! The whole time I am mortified that someone I do not know has just touched me that I am not even able to muster any words. I sat in shock for a while that this woman practically fondled me in front of a room full of people. Apparently, it was quite a spectacle because several people were staring while this happened. I learned a lesson because of this. One should always wear their nametag FAR above the breast rather than on top of it.

On the brighter, less touchy feely side, my garden club won two awards for its service to the city. My grandmother also won an award for her continued service to the city and she was honored again by being mentioned as the city’s only Lifetime Member. They actually created the Lifetime Member status just for her which is a nice thing given her commitment to the city.

Latest email snippet from someone who doesn’t know me:

“Stupid people are not necessarily bad people. Give

them a break every now and then, not everyone can be

born brilliant like you. I know plenty of dum dums who

are also nice as can be. Plus many times the dummies

wind up being your boss in the real world. Takes all

kinds you know.”

I just started laughing and I don’t think I shall ever stop. They completely do not understand the premise of my disdain for the stupid. I also found the boss part extremely amusing.

I’m quite happy now in this bizarre way. After going through all these changes in the last year, I’m glad to be finally reaching this perfect state of my life. I am my own utopia. I’ve come to this point actually knowing what lies ahead, it’s always been that path and it’s merely been ridding my life of the “crap” that got in the way. Even many people whom I believe to be a help were really just cest pools of rotting human waste and they too are quickly being cleaned or have been cleaned out of my life. I’m all the better for it, I’ve never felt healthier, happier, and and even humorous thanks to a new addition in my life. In other words, those who don’t belong in my life will no longer be in it.

Caring for people is a futile waste of my mental energy.  I’m extremely depressed and I’m not doing so great mentally, my thought processes are extremely skewed… I keep pushing people farther away. Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t such a narcissist, then maybe I could talk about the *real* problem. But, I am. So, I don’t. And *some* people are incredibly stupid.

Oh dear is it possible to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t even respond to what you are saying. They just keep saying inane banter over and over again that has no relevance to what you are saying nor do they care what you are saying they just want to hear themselves, how pathetic.

A person that I only know via the internet told me that I am immature because I don’t take drugs or drink alcohol. They are apparently a cocaine addict and have been known to dabble in heroin. Ok, so I’m getting this straight: I don’t rely on substances to alter my mood, I don’t squander large amounts of money on substances and then have nothing but depleted brain cells to show for it, I don’t steal things to pay for drugs, I obey the law and don’t drink alcohol until I am of age, etc. Ok, so I see their point, I’m so immature because I don’t have a lack of brain cells like they do. Hey wow impressive, one point for you moron!
