I have two things that I want to blog about. So instead of posting twice, which I easily could do, I'll condense both into one post for the day.
1. I went to a website called belief.net today on the recommendation of another blog, and found it a very interesting experience. On the site, you can take a test that will tell you, based on a cursory examination of your beliefs, what faith you are. It's probably not a surprise, but I'm 100% a secular humanist. Frankly, I think that's just about right. It also gives you a list of 26 other things you "might" be, and fourth on my list was Mainline Protestant. That's striking, don't you think, considering that I don't believe in god, really, and I made that perfectly clear in my answers to the questions. I did find it an interesting exercise though, and it sorta confirmed for me my idea of myself. (Note to sister: Take the quiz! I think it's called the belief-o-matic. I'm interested to see how you stack up to me. There are several non-god faiths, so it will be interesting to see which one you are. And then tell me.)
2. I'm addicted. I'm addicted to fashion reality shows. I have no trouble admitting that I really got into America's Next Top Model last time it was on, and now, I am IN LOVE with Project Runway. Obviously, (and I'm going to share one of my deep, dark secrets right now), I love fashion. (That's not the secret, though.) The secret is this: if I could be absolutely anything in the world, I would be a fashion designer. In high school and college, I doodled clothing all over all of my notes. To be honest, I'm not very talented or creative at that sort of thing. Pretty much I had three different designs with about four million incarnations. One of my most common themes was Asian influences, with dresses like kimonos and cheongsams practically on every page of my notebooks. I've never seriously considered being a fashion designer (and Project Runway pretty much confirms my suspicion that I would be awful at it) but you can see why a show like this is like crack to me. It's like, my dream life. I hope that it's successful enough that they do at least one more season of it. (And can I just say that if Kara Saun, Jay and Austin aren't the final three, I'll seriously have to scream. Robert sucks booty, and Wendy is a brat. I liked Kevin, too, damnit. He was like a dreamy trendster indie boy. Yes, please!)
