BART while you can!


Basically, BART is going on strike tomorrow. Essentially means I can't go into the city. =\ Ah well, utilized BART to get to church today! xD

Got to hang out with Lisa, Gunjan, and Karishma! Grabbed lunch at Red Tractor and just talked about tons of stuff. Coding, college, a certain person who attended our high school, a few people who didn't... It was fun catching up. =] Love these girls!


Went up to GrX for church - it was super crowded on BART both on the way there and the way back. Mainly with Cardinals/A's fans on the way there (they had a game at the Coliseum) and with Pride people on the way back.

Talked a lot about embracing our situations and evaluating what God has put in out hands. How our liabilities may actually be our strengths, and how God chose a purpose for us because of, rather than despite, a certain attribute. There was a lot to think about.

On the topic of the Pride Parade... I didn't actually go, but I'm sure I got a decent show of what people are dressed like there at least. A lot of bare skin, bras, shirtless guys. And rainbows + super bright colors.

Honestly, I'm conflicted. I understand the appeal of a Pride Parade, and find it interesting and exciting (I was honestly considering going for a while), but I can't say I support the clothing choices. Or lack of clothing, rather. I don't know, I could just be overthinking it. I mean, it's not like people are any less clothed than at the beach. I guess it's just interesting to see that a celebration of rights or of individuality seems to involve a general lack of clothing.

Testing for my permit again tomorrow. Here's to hoping I pass it again. Then wisdom teeth consultation - I'll probably get them out Wednesday. -sighs- Goodbye solid food...
