What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
I just found out that I'm addicted to porn.
Actually, not just addicted but "psycho addicted."
I have these friends that are pretty fundamentalist christian and they asked to borrow my PC as it had a backup of their music (which they accidentally deleted.) I let them borrow it and the screen saver came up. It has about 800 images and around 7-10 or so (I'm not sure) were of Suicide Girls. So now they've all propagated this rumor that I'm "psycho addicted" to porn.
I mean, I always knew it was a matter of time before something slipped and my fundie friends knew I was "different/damned" but it still feels kind of weird. I have no friends that I hang out with regularly anymore. They already hadn't talked to me for a while and they never told me this directly (I found out indirectly through someone else) but it's like the vacuum has been kind of confirmed now.
In a way it's kind of disappointing in that Suicide Girls (or porn) aren't my life. What I mean to say is, that they found out about my deviation from Christianity in that I appreciate erotic art rather than that I find Christianity to be unconscionable is kind of an anti-climax.
It makes me think of when my pastor walked into my room when I wasn't decent. I tried to tell him to stop coming up the stairs but the old guy had bad hearing. When I went back to church somebody chuckled and said "You didn't expect pastor Dave in your room then, did ya?" I didn't like that either but I didn't mind that as much because I didn't really know very many people there outside of the pastor. The other kids generally shunned me when they didn't want me to think they liked me so I wouldn't tell the pastor about their porn. I never did tell anybody; I thought that was between them and God.They called me a bitch for demanding it to be turned off and I still thought it'd be rude and disrespectful to gossip about them with other people. It's ironic, isn't it?

The Night Before The Election
I often remember the night before the election more than the night of. I remember the night before Clinton was elected I was just a small child and I was being told by a number of adults who they thought I should want to win. I felt compelled by both sides but ultimately when I went to bed that night when I prayed I said something like "I really don't understand all of this that's going on or what should happen." I didn't pray that the candidate God wanted to be elected to become president because although I was mostly naive about politics I couldn't imagine God interfering with the election system. I just prayed that the best would come out of whatever did happen.
This is an election where each side is highly disturbed by the possibility of the candidate of their opposite party winning. What are they doing besides voting? Hoping? Praying to baby Jesus? Maybe some kooks already masturbating while looking at their favorites logo?
It's 15 years later and I'm not a confused little boy anymore. I'm not theistic and I know (I'd like to think so, anyway) more about politics than I did then. I'm voting for Obama and I really do hope he wins but I'm not going to have a conniption over it. I'm not going to stay up half the night watching the television just so I can know for sure before I go to bed (like that'd make a difference.) I'm going to vote and then I'm going to withdraw and resign myself to whatever does or does not happen. That's all I can do.

I'm pretty excited.

I updated my wardrobe with dress clothes from second hand stores. I used to think that sounded awful but I went to Kohl's to shop and it was like, the stuff I wanted was so expensive there was no way I could afford a whole new wardrobe. I went to a few second hand places and found a lot of the same clothes that looked just as good but for a tiny fraction of the price. I was really surprised-I didn't expect to find deals like that. I'll add pictures someday.
I talked to Santa lastnight on msn ( northpole@live.com )
one bad dude says:
Hello Santa. Can I sit in your lap?
Santa Claus says:
Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, one bad dude! I'm Santa Claus!
Tell me, are you a boy or a girl?
one bad dude says:
I'm a boy.
Santa Claus says:
And what do you want for Christmas, one bad dude?
one bad dude says:
A wii, zelda and a theremin.
Santa Claus says:
That sounds nice! I'll see what I can do, one bad dude.
What else would you like, one bad dude?
one bad dude says:

I'll see what I can do for you, one bad dude!

On my second day (29th) I went to the national mall and the Freer gallery and then I saw X-Men 3. In that order. Here are some of the pics. If you're interested in seeing more, leave a comment indicating interest. 
Day 1 (28th)
A friend drove me to the airport in Minneapolis where I met a group of people traveling from India. They were all very pleasent and generous people.
