So I talked to the transfer advisor today. I told her I was pursuing a degree in religion and an M.Div (from Yale or Princeton Divinity) and that I was thinking Calvin or Wheaton and had recently been looking at New Saint Andrews, but only as a curiousity and as I was talking she interupted me:

"eliiiizabeth, do you know who I really like?"
'No, who?"
"Joyce Meyers."
*retches quietly and stares* "i'm not especially familiar with her..."
"and Reverend Olsten, do you like him?"
"again, i don't really watch relgious...television. I dont really know them...you know i have an appointment with my sociology professor, i should get out of here. it was lovely speaking to you, I'l email the admissions people from the schools and call you." *sweet half smile*

my sociology professor was giving away books and i must have picked up about thirty-ish.

I just started Sexual Personae - Art and decadence form Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson.

I just finshed the first chapter and it is quite enthralling

Joyce Meyers creeps me out.

(She's probably nice in person....it's just her public persona. *shudders*)
