Memorial and not so smarts

The memorial was lovely last night. Brother Castinguay gave the talk. He treated it as if no one really knew what the event was about so that people who weren't JWs wouldn't be lost. I kind of liked it that way. There are never enough seats in Southbridge because the Kingdom Hall is so tiny so my mom and I had to split up. If I weren't disfellowshipped that wouldn't be awkward at all. haha. But Monique let me sit with her which was nice. All the Elders were smiling at me and Dawn smiled at me from her seat too. God I miss Dawn. She really is a great friend.

So our license keys group took over this other type of licensing on Monday. It's been a looooooong week. We have a lot of stuff that we do anyway and now this is adding about five hours on to our work day. Whew. We've been wicked busy today. We had a few hours of training yesterday with one of the guys from the group (who looked a wicked lot like Mark from "rent", kind of neat). It's helpful and all, but I am still a bit lost. I generated a bunch of licenses today and if they're not right. . . . I can't help ya. lol.

I'm on call this weekend which sucks. Not that I have anywhere to go. I'm probably going to be helping my parents clean out the house. My mom's last day of work is today and then she has tomorrow and all next week off for spring break. At least that way some stuff will get done. I really don't want to continue living out of my moving boxes....

ROTS Review - it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream

Well, Revenge of the Sith opened last night. I’m told it made 16.5 million with just its midnight show. I’m not surprised. This was the long-anticipated end to a huge saga. And I have to say that after having last night and some of today to reflect on it, I was a bit disappointed. The die-hard fans are furious right now, I’m sure. “What? But. . .it’s Star Wars. . .How can you not like it??” I will tell you how. First of all, I’m not saying I hated it . I enjoyed it enough and I definitely plan to see it again. There was so much to see on screen that you certainly need to view it more than once to take it all in properly. I did not hate every second of it. I left with a mostly satisfied feeling. But let’s cover what did bother me and then we’ll end on a high note with the things I really enjoyed. WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. 1. Anakin and Padme – the dialogue between them was definitely lacking. I cringed during the whole “I love you because you love me” part. But that ca...

Update from the road

I don't use blogger anymore. I love the interface here and I like it better than livejournal but there is just no sense of community for me here anymore. I still read a few people's blogs but that's it really and I never hear from anyone on here so... I switched to LJ. If you want to know any of the happenings of my life, you can catch up there . I'm driving cross country currently with my husband, Seth. We started at my home in Mass and are in cali now. We're going to be in Washington State by Sunday. That's where Seth's job is. For any of those of you who have my cell phone number, it's shut off right now. That's what happens when you get fired for no reason from your job, denied unemployment, and you can't pay your bills. But it'll be back on again soon. Even though i'm going to miss my family and the few good friends I had there, I am so glad to be out of that god-forsaken state. I can't wait to start fresh in Seattle. Eventually ...

Great Questions from my Favorite Movie Reviewer

In a note on my previous post kennelworthy said: " Okay, I'm sure I could find the answer to this by going through your site's archives, but I'm at work and therefore don't have that kind of time. Feel free to chide me for being lazy. But...without getting personal, I have a few questions. For starters, ( 1 )what kinds of things cause the JW's to excommunicate someone? ( 2 )If they would accept you back into their fold, would you want to go back...or was your df'ing something related to "core beliefs." For instance, the Episcopal denomination is currently fueding with itself over homosexuality in the pulpit. It's caused a split in the church proper over "core beliefs." So, is there some aspect of the JW's you disagreed with that led to your df'ing...or do you still hold the same belief system as them but they just won't let you back in officially? If the answer to the above is "yes", then ( 3 )why would you wan...
