Aaaaaa!

I have way too many great things running around in my head right now...I just got back from the Jesus For President tour in Raleigh, and as I fully expected, it was awesome! There were about 600-700 people there, and the amazing thing to me was that all of them were somewhat like-minded with me, a conclusion reached simply because they were all there at such a strange event. (At least, I think most might call it strange...or at least, very different.) Anyway, tragedy above tragedies, I don't know any of those people! And it's not like you just go up to people and say, "I need a connection with a like-minded person...would you be friends with me?" ...Just doesn't work that way. But I did meet a man involved with the Triangle Emergent cohort who is going to help me find out if there are people who want to start one in Greenville. And I found out about a magazine called Conspire that the Simple Way is creating.

I hate the feeling of being alone in a crowd.

I've concluded that when I am more of a fully-formed person, have further solidified my beliefs and views, I'm going to be incredibly odd. I'm already becoming rather odd...and a lot just over the summer. Look out ECU, I'm coming back different! (Wait, maybe that should be "Rejoice ECU! Rebecca's coming back different!"...there are things about who I was last year I am hoping will be improved now.)

I think I want to go to a Mennonite church...they really have it straight on reconciliation not just with God but with the world, and on peace and social justice, and being against war and the death penalty. (Get this - it's from a poster I got tonight - : Jesus was once asked for his support of the death penalty. His reply: let one who is without sin cast the first stone.)

And I want to copy the Free Hugs campaign at busy-lunch-time in Wright Plaza. Anyone wanna help? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

I think I might be really weird...

And I think I might be really wound up, and really tired at the same time.

And, and I think I like writing blog posts like this! :D

I think I should go to bed now...
