Oh, Pinterest.

I like Pinterest. It's full of lovely clothes and interesting do-it-yourself ideas and beautiful home decor.
However.
It's an interesting space to navigate, because (as I see it) it's not really intended for public comment. Until recently, it wasn't possible to message other users, and even commenting seems to take a backseat in comparison with Facebook and the like. The point of Pinterest, to me, is to make my very own collection of pictures and words that please me while everyone else around me does the same. Occasionally, I'll see a thing that makes me unhappy, like a little girl's onesie with some sexist "Lock up your sons/ my daddy has guns" kind of thing. (Seriously? Do we really have to impose gender stereotypes on a tiny person who can't even recognize their own hand? Or impose them on anyone, for that matter?) Usually, though, I choose not to comment, because that's not my space and I feel that negative comments ought not to be posted.
I do feel, though, that if someone is attacking my beliefs - as was an ill-informed rant on feminism I saw earlier today- that it is permissible to step in and defend them. I don't like to, though, and it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable, because Pinterest is where I come to escape the rest of the internet when it wears me out with its idiocy.

I don't post things that belittle, insult, or spread falsehoods about others or their beliefs, and I expect the same consideration from my fellow pinners. That's not too much to ask.

Due to the """clamoring""" of my "fans" (okay, Brigitta), here is a post.

Have just seen Jorgen and Jared's blog, tjindia.blogspot.com. Quite interesting... I especially enjoyed the post inn which Jorgen talks about his experience trying to buy a t-shirt in India.

"Things I Prayed For" by Eli is a GREAT song. Listen to it.

As is this one :)

Hmmm. Have recently read on pluggedinonline.com's culture clips that Miley Cyrus thinks that she and her boyfriend are "...deeper than normal people - what they think and how they feel.". Yuh-huh.

Wow, I really haven't posted in a while. Here are some things that I have done lately, in no particular order:
Went to a tourney with Liise and Gitta. Much fun :)
Work Day.
Awana Grand Prix.
Valentine's Day dance.
30-hour famine.
New girls' Bible study.
And more... perhaps I'll remember later.
