Yea... Well I've basically been dating God for 22 years, so I beat all these people! Though God probably likes all the people in this video featured more because they aren't constantly asking "Why God! Why am I single! WHYYYYY." And maybe this whole post is Reason why I'm Single #6. But seriously, the video is pretty amazing.

I'll write a post later about my feelings about Question Time last night, but right now I want to mention the fact that at least once everyday when I look out my window I see people making out in the park next to my building. Today there is a couple pretty much right underneath my window standing up and shoving their tongues down each others throats. It makes me want to vomit. Just checked, they're still at it, but this time he has his hand on her bum. I mean, you think it would get tiring after a while. Also, do they realize how many people can see them? Maybe they don't care. They should though, because they are offending me.
I'm afraid that this angry quasi voyeuristic rant is a sign that I'm slowly evolving into a crazy old bitter spinster.

The BNP leader Nick Griffin on President Obama: “He is an Afrocentric racist bigot.” He thinks American blacks should have been resettled in Africa “because the two peoples living side by side would cause problems forever”.
Sounds like someone has been talking to Glenn Beck! Griffin's appearance tonight on Question Time should be very very interesting.
Song I can't get out of my head
Taylor Swift is my not so sinful obsession. All her songs seem to speak to me, maybe that says something about my mental age but ehh. She's just so wonderful. The current Taylo Swift song I can't get out of my head is "Hey Stephen." Thanks to my friend Jennie for introducing it to me. This song is a lot more romantic than songs I can actually relate to, like the amazing "You Belong with me," which I can REALLY relate to. But I just love the line- actually I love the whole song. The chorus is amazing (in a 16 year old girl way, but WHATEVER)-
"'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself."
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself."
And then the line:
"Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone"Amazing! I should also mention that the name Stephen automatically makes me think of Stephen Dedalus, who was definitely NOT an angel. Despite that, I loveee this song. But you'll just have to listen for yourself:

I just watched the most disturbing documentary on the BBC. Two journalists, who are British Muslims, posed as Pakistani immigrants on a British housing estate in Bristol and documented the abuse they suffered. It was unbelievable. Since getting here I've been reading so much about the collapse of families, feral youth, extreme anti-social behavior, etc. I mean, America certainly has a terrible racial history and massive race problems today but I just don't recall reading or hearing stories to this nature at home. And the problems on the housing estates don't just deal with race. There's the terrible story of Fiona Pilkington, who killed herself and her severely mentally disabled daughter after they had suffered years of abuse on their council estate. This story was referenced by David Cameron in his speech at the Conservative party convention. I mean, I can't think of any solution to this problem. But, I think the fact that these problems are ragging out of control can only help the Conservatives win the next election. But who knows, I'm just a confused, slightly shocked outsider.
Because my Christian friend never responds to my text messages (THANKS!), I consulted google to see if Christians believe in witchcraft (though I think the answer should be obvious). And on Yahoo Answers a man named "Me Again" answered the question by writing: Any man, Christian or not, who has been divorced knows full well that witches exist.
Another post with tinges of Christianity
This morning the wonderful Pamela and I journeyed north into Angel to go to a place that we refer to as the British Baking Revolution (it's on a sign they have inside) but it's actually called Euphorium Bakery. I got an americano and an almond croissant, which was I'm pretty sure the smallest one they had. I'm hoping the mean barista didn't look at me and think that I needed the smallest one. RUDE. Or maybe it was an accurately portioned European baked good. I don't know, anyways, this isn't the point of my story.
What is the point of my story is that on the way back I was handed a Christian magazine by some people on the street. I just read through it in another effort to avoid doing things I should be doing. Besides learning that Christian's shouldn't be sperm donors, even if they stipulate that a gay couple won't get their sperm, because God doesn't like man shedding his seed unless it's in his wife (dirty!). So that was interesting, but not out of the ordinary, what was out of the ordinary was the article in the magazine about the couple who were suffering health problems and found out that a witch had caused them! God luckily saved them, but this article made me question the magazine's validity. And the validity of the organization that funds it. Ah religion, such a confusing, complicated thing.
