Life In Chaotic Minds

So, the hair has been cut. I like the colour. I think. And I like most of the style, but not the really short layers. I really want them to magically grow at least a few inches really fast. Of course, that won't happen and of course, that isn't the end of the world. I can live with working around the stupid little layers until they do grow out, which of course, will take far longer than I'd like. Oh well though. I'll get used to it. I guess change is good. I'm not actually looking forward to the attention which I'll undoubtfully get since this haircut is not one that will have people putting on that funny "did you get your hair cut?" face. I'm a general attention whore, but less so for lots of people giving a little attention each. More for select people giving me lots of attention. I'm a picky attention whore.
Other than hair... Last night I went to a bonfire/fireworks with some friends. It was a church-held event. I was sceptical about going, since I am rather anti-church, but I figured I can deal with being around Christians, so long as they aren't all preachy. They weren't preachy, but it still got me thinking about religion again. It really is the most ridiculous thing. People dedicate there lives to something which does not exist. They waste their time praying. Maybe it makes them feel more positive about things, but you can do that without a whole story behind some imaginery figure creating the world. God is like the easter bunny, or Santa, yet somehow people don't stop believing in him just because they get old enough to work out it's not true. It would make so much more sense if when children came to the sad realisation that Santa is mum or dad they realised God is just a made up character too. Of course Christians find this idea offensive, and often say I should be more open minded. They apparently don't see how closed their own minds are. So many people would do better in life if they thought, "what's best for me, and what do I want to do?" rather than, "what does God want me to do?" Religion rant aside, I did enjoy myself last night. We played volleyball and watched other things like sumo wrestling games, there was a BBQ (of course I wasn't eating that), and then bonfire and fireworks.
I should be studying for exams now, but I don't think I will. It will be last minute study for me, as usual. The day before each exam seems like a great plan to me.
