A Re-blog #2:

So...I was sitting in the library avoiding all of my homework as usual, when two women came up to me and asked me if I knew "I had a spiritual mother" ... well to begin with (because there are so many things wrong, or rather, puzzling with this 'event' on my Thursday evening) I will explain what I was doing...avoiding my homework like I said, but I was doing that by taking stupid pictures of myself with the (for some reason I have yet to know) really cool "Photo Booth" on my computer ;) and then I saw a hand start waving in the background...oops, got caught. I turned to my right saw two women (normal, nicely dressed women) and then I was bombarded with all sorts of questions....

They = CW (crazy women) and Me= Me.

CW: "Do you know you have a spiritual Mother?"
Me: "No."
CW: "Well, you do. It is in the Bible. People don't realize that they have a Spiritual Father and a Spiritual Mother that also gave birth to their soul."
(right about now is when I give my fake smile and think to myself that these women are absolutely insane, I just want to take some pictures. And 'I wish I was doing my homework right about now.)...
CW: "Do you have a physical Mother?"
Me: "Yes."
CW: "Do you know that you have eternal life?"
Me: "No." (I really wish I had said 'Yes, I know I am going to live forever' to this one... :)
CW: "Do you believe in God?"
Me: "umm, well...."
CW: "Have you ever read the bible?"
Me: "Just a little bit" (Why did I even bother answering this??)
CW: "Well you know your Spiritual Mother is in there? Could we please just show you one verse in the Bible?"
Me: "umm, no thanks."
(this is when I was starting to get a little more uncomfortable, and got to thinking that it was a little embarrassing to get caught taking those damned pictures...)
CW: "You will find eternal life through the Bible and your spiritual Mother. Please just one verse?"
Me: "No thanks."
... and here is my favorite part:
CW: "Ok, well what is your name?"
Me: "Danielle"
CM: "That's a very pretty name."
Me: "Thank you."

...And then they left. What a comforting thought to know that not even my school library is protected from some crazy people trying to force some sort of religious nonsense on me!! And what is quite strange is that this sort of thing happens to me all over campus...how frickin' crazy, man!! :D - I ever think that I tried to get recruited by some helpers of these people about a week ago, but they didn't get this far with me that time...

That is not really what got me frustrated about this whole thing....I always wish I had said something different, something cool and witty..."Oh, yes...Spiritual Mother? I met her the other day. We had some coffee and donuts and a lovely conversation." - I blame it on the fact that all I was thinking about was keeping my voice down because I was in the library (yes I know I naturally do that anyway, but whatever).

But, no what amused me the most about this situation was the fact that right before the hand started to wave in the background I was thinking: "I sure hope someone doesn't walk by and see me taking these stupid pictures of myself. That would be embarrassing"
