Missing,
Presumed fed.
That is the nice thing about having a blog that nobody reads, nobody gets unhappy when I don't choose to post for a while.
Anyway, time for a quick recap of the weekend.
This weekend was the annual Christmas LAN party, which is organized by NetAdmin and myself, along with a few others, which was pretty fun. Attendance was good, and we stayed up to late.. only a few things marred the otherwise perfect evening. The first was Helpless' play.
First, let me explain, I'm no Christian, but due to the fact that I kept up the image of one for many years, helpless himself has found faith, despite the fact that both of his parents are atheists, and really I couldn't be happier for him.
But this play was something different.
I went in expecting to see the classic "A Christmas carol" muddled with poor acting and forgotten lines that are usually found in hastily produced church plays, and while these familiar elements were there, there was something a bit extra included with the play. Instead of sticking to the classic story, the church's pastor thought it would be a great idea to rewrite this play and turn it into a full fledged sermon in disguise. Whereas the original novelette of "A Christmas Carol" only mentions God 12 times in its entirety, this play was filled with mentions of the holy spirit at every turn. The ghosts? Angels, sent from God to turn Scrooge from his evil and unchristian ways. And Marley? Condemned by the Devil himself to suffer for his miserly ways. Omfg, sirs.
I waited through the entire play only because my friend was in it. In any other circumstance, I would have had to walk out within the first half hour...
Bah, too late to finish this blog now, I will return to tell of the only other happening to mar the otherwise perfect weekend.
