Seeing as the first two posts on this blog are copied and pasted across from the blog I created yesterday and then managed to forget the log in AND password for in the space of around, ooh, three hours, I think I'm allowed to post again today.
Then there is the question "Post about what??", and a good question it is too. This isn't an actual diary, so should I veer away from writing what I've done over the past 24 hours? And is "read Spiderman and watched 5 episodes of Law and Order: Criminal Intent" such a fascinating answer anyway?
Such a strange title as The Backwards Church of Holly could use an explanation I suppose. It all came about when my friends and I were discussing religion - how you do. Now, I'm not a great knowledge on religion, I don't claim to understand world religions, or faith, or beliefs (not even Electric Monk beliefs, except that maybe everything IS pink) but sometimes, when you're a bit 'tired and emotional' you discover what you really think about life, the universe and everything. Wow, that's two Douglas Adams references in one sentence! It just so happened that on this one occasion, I decided that the life was just an anomaly that you found yourself in, and then when you died, you just stopped existing. I thought there might be the possibility of reincarnation, which was a bit of a paradox. Or perhaps more realistically, I HOPED there might be the possibility of reincarnation. Somebody happened to comment that this was like a "backwards religion" with no beliefs and no afterlife, and thus the church was born.
It was fun whilst it lasted. We had a High Priestess and a martyr, and our symbol was the bumblebee. A creature, that by laws of physics, should apparently not exist.
And now, back to work children, back to work.
