The flowers seem to tease you at the garden

Ok, so yesterday I had a religion retreat, went to a couple temples and such. First we went to the Hindu temple, where this guy told us about all the gods and such in Hinduism. He had the coolest pants. It smelled really nice in there too. I wonder what incense they were using... Anyway! After that we went to the Buddhist temple and WOW. It was so pretty. I wish I had a camera so I could take pictures, although I'm not sure if I could've anyway. There were swastikas EVERYWHERE. Because they are actually symbolic of peace, when it's not crooked. Hm. Well, next we went to the Hillcrest Mall for lunch, I got this chicken teriyaki thing. It was good, but there were too many mushrooms in it. We only got about half an hour for lunch so we had to hurry back to the bus and go to the next place, an Islamic mosque. It was the last place. There were these two women who showed us around, it smelled nice in there too. After they were done with everything they gave us free apple juice. Yay. And..... I think that's about all that happened yesterday.

Had an interesting conversation during dinner today. Tonight was just a free-for-all, meaning everyone just cooks what they want to eat for themselves; I had Irish stew with rice and boiled potatoes. Mom and I had this very weird discussion about 'relationships' and stuff:

Mom: You should marry an Irish guy.
Me: What? Why?
Mom: So you can eat potatoes and drink together.
Me: Uh, ok... Why don't I just marry a German guy then?
Mom: Because I don't want you to marry a nazi. I know you will.
Me: I would not. Besides, what if I married an Irish nazi?
Mom: An Irish nazi? What's he gonna say when we meet him, "Top o' the mornin' to ye HEIL HITLER!!"?

And so I fell out my chair laughing. Seriously, I was lying on the floor laughing because of that. Funniest thing I've ever heard. Wow. My mom is weird. Funny though. (needless to say, I'll probably be single my entire life. No nazis for me.)

Ok, I was smiling/grinning during math class, so what? Leave me the fuck alone! (Sorry about that but there's this annoying girl in math who always talks to me and today pointed out every time I even remotely smiled as if it was the first sign of the fucking APOCOLYPSE.) During American history we watched WWII propaganda movies, it was awesome.

Eh, my leg is killing me. Started hurting a couple days ago, and it just keeps getting worse and worse. It felt like my calf was going to explode when I was walking home today. Hm, let me explain a little; you know when your foot is asleep and if it touches anything you get this sharp pain? I have that in my entire leg. Plus it's about 100x more painful. Stupid soleus! I hate you!

PP UPDATE: green pants
