Jen has been thinking of dropping out of school. She thinks she would make a better flight attendant or a massage therapist. Im like, what ever makes you happy, it cant be that bad. I told my family about it this weekend since we were all having dinner together. Jeff, one of my cousins in the Army is being shipped off to Afghanistan and he left Spokane this morning to go back to Hawaii and then off to Bush's War, not to be confused with Harts War. Anyways, many in the Cates family were there, 15 of us to be exact and my aunt Krista (aunt by marriage) used to be a flight attendant and she was like have Jen call me I'll give her advice. Seeing as Krista dropped out of College her junior year to become a flight attendant I might be in need of a room mate soon. This brings up UCS. (Hollar Gill) Ever since George Lucas went there I have been like this is the place for me. I really think that its the best film school in the states and that if I really want to Direct, I need to go there. So, transferring is VERY up in the air right now. Not sure whats going to happen.

Saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night. Its hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. I want to write something that fresh and creative. Something that makes you think and that is just brilliant. I suggest you all go see it. Jim Carry wasnt himself. He was insanely good. I never once though oh look, its Ace Ventura taking on a serious role. It was always just this Joel guy is such a good character. So human. Hard to come by.

Going to see Jersey Girl tonight with my Aunt Lori (my dads sister). Im excited. I hope its cute. And J-Lo dies in like the first 15 minutes of it so Im just really excited. Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors. I could watch Dogma 5 MILLION times.

Tonight is Passover for my parents. They just finished cleaning the house of all leavening and are now getting into their church clothes to go wash peoples feat. They arent Jewish and they arent Jehovah Witnesses but they share many similarities with the Jewish religion. All of this next week they take part in whats called the days of unleavened bread. So, no bread means crackers without leavening and lots of cheese and peanut better since crackers go well with such foods.
(Cleaning your house of leavening is symbolic of taking the sin out of your life, FYI.) Once Laura, my next door neighbor was eating pretzels during days of unleavened bread and I had some not thinking and my mom saw and she was like Rachel, dont you think those have leavening? I was like 6, eating my pretzels and all of a sudden I was going to hell. Talk about a dysfunctional child hood. Once on the bus on the way to school this Danny Stalkinger kid was like you dont celebrate Easter. I was like nope. He was like then you dont believe in Christ and I was like, no, I do. But you dont celebrate Christmas right. Im like yeah, no Christmas. He is all, well then, how was Christ born, I was like, dude, my parents told me that he wasnt born on Christmas and its not in the bible so we dont celebrate it. Try explaining all this crazy religiousness that I went through to a 3rd grader. They dont have it. No one ever seams to understand. I think these things are why I am so open now. I dont give a shit what relgion you are. I dont care about you sexual orentation. Its your choice. People that judge are people that dont think. Or, they chose not to. Neither, in my book, is expectable. Do you think children growing up in todays world will be as liberal as our generations? In most of my experiences it comes back to the parents and how you are raised. Luckily I dont think I even listened to my parents. We are complete opposites. I think the only thing we DO have in common is our love for booze. And that I am thankful for.
