not wasteful

So this past weekend, I went to "THECALL" with Jack, Annie, Enoch, Jennifer, Ryan, Sammy, Johnny, Joy, Shin, Andy, Chris, Grace, Sarah and company, and a few more. It was SUGE SUBARASHI. People were weeping for this nation like there's no tomorrow. It was too hot during the day and Enoch, Chris, and I only lasted about 2 or so hours on the field area. We finally decided to go into the shade and we sat there until it got darker and then we went back down. I'd have to say that the best parts were at the beginning and at the end. During the daytime, and I'm sure most of you remember, was when they asked all the different types of people to stand; women, men, hispanics, asians, african americans, and more. i started crying because it was so touching and i was praying too. i didn't have any tissues so i was wiping my tears everywhere and soon it got annoying, haha. but man, it was amazing. those who didn't go, GO NEXT TIME! oh & at night, it was so cool. we danced so much and screamed so much and prayed and cried so much that i think i felt Heaven shaking (and the atmosphere was "shaking"); and no, it was NOT the stereo that sent sonic waves all around the stadium, haha. (oh & we saw debbie, john, and lydia hendrickson!) -- and i found out today that tiffa was there, haha.

something funny happened though. sarah might get mad at me, but all i'mma say is that Enoch sort of looked like a criminal trying to get sarah's door open to open the trunk and get her keys out. x=

so now, for today's event: SAY YES ON PROP 8 (AND 4, but we didn't really do that today)
at first, we were suppose to be at the city hall area for this event, but when annie told us that at the voting booth, there are a lot of people supporting prop 8 and protesters against prop 8 there, we decided to go there instead since city hall had too many people there helping out already. so we got to the voting booth and there were TONS OF PEOPLE supporting prop 8 standing around the corner screaming it. when we parked our cars, we stood right in front of the place where you line up to vote. we spent from 2:45 pm to 5:15 pm saying, "SAY YES TO PROP 8" to the point where it almost sounded like we were chanting, hahahaha. it was amazing though. the protesters kept saying that we're discriminating against them and hating on the homosexuals when it's not even ABOUT that. but if you really think about it, they're the ones who point the middle finger at us, saying "EFF YOU" to us when for our supporters, the worst that they did to the protesters was a thumbs down. COME ON! WHO'S HATING NOW? even some protesters rip up the signs on people's lawns. it's so immature! oh! which reminds me, there was this lady who passed by us and shouted, "EFF YOU" to us, right? well, the protesters started giggling and laughing. i thought it was so immature. i wouldn't even laugh if someone said that to them. i find it very offensively sometimes you know? they're so mad that it defeats their purpose of being there in the first place, in a way. they're the ones showing the hate, not us. we were pretty calm most of the time. it was pretty funny how the police officers started to give tickets out to those who honk their horns. i was pretty surprised (to either side of the party). a few of us were praying as well. the protesters say that our people do that too, but out of all the people who passed by us, no one did those things to them, just us. and they kept shouting about equality. THEY ALREADY HAVE EQUALITY. since this was freedom of speech and all, don't they realize that see, they too have that equality that we have as well.

sometimes i don't think that this nation thinks about it before doing it. they just listen to what the candidates they like choose and they choose that or that they don't think about the confusion that their children will go into if this prop doesn't go through. i mean yeah, there's always adoption, but still, those children will be confused as well. they kept saying about equality, right? where's the equality when children are force to see that their parents are a dominance of two females or two males. also, the protesters said that we're discriminating but nonbelievers always discriminate us christians on our beliefs. so that's one huge contradictory on their part, am i right? haha!

DEFINE MARRIAGE:
the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.

COME ON.
i could go on, but i won't since it's getting late and i must rest. x______x
i saw monet's guardian when she was still in california when we were at city hall.

anyways, next topic. so after the event today, we all decided to go to IHOP (HOUSE OF PANCAKES, MY DARLINGS) and guess what? we got AT LEAST THREE MEALS EXTRA FOR FREE!! it was crazy! and the people there were sooo nice! God, bless them with more customers! also, jack gave us this tiny speech of how proud he was of us going to the frontline like that today. n_n awwww either way, if it's for God, i'll do it. i don't care if i'mma get arrested or shot at, i'll do it. sign me up!

this weekend was SOOOO NOT WASTEFULL and i'm proud. =] however, on the flip side, i have to STUDYHARD for the chemistry test this wednesday, lol. THANK YOU JESUS! THE SKY/CLOUDS WERE BEAUTIFULLL!!!
