This is what I get for living in the Bible Belt of Canada.

Ugh, this looks like shit. But… I'm… tired…

Sorry.

WOWEXPLANATION:
So yesterday… or the day before yesterday now, I had my first someone trying to convert me experience! Yay!
Actually I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often, seeing as the town I live in has (if I remember correctly) the most churches per capita in BC, maybe even Canada. I can't remember.
Point: Lots of motherfucking churches.
(Strangely enough it's also the HQ for the Canadian KKK, but we'll not get into that.)
I feel kind of bad for picking on a little old lady who was, after all, only trying to save my lost wretched little soul. But, nowadays you have to realize that if you do something to a stranger, then they might end up shooting their experience into the Webberdome. Then all hell breaks loose, and you die. So, little old lady, sorry for killing you but you were being pretty annoying.

But, wait! There's more! I left out a lot, to avoid this turning into a 50 page book of boring. The rest of the story:
(L: Lady, M: Me)

L: Oh, your hair is quite bright!
M: Huh? Oh, right. (smile)
L: Will that wash out?
M: Yes, eventually.
L: It's quite bright.
M: Heh, it used to be florescent red.
L: But, it doesn't change how you are inside.
M: (laughing) Nope.
L: My granddaughter's always dying her hair all different colours.
M: Ah.
L: But it doesn't change the way you are on the inside.
M: Hehe.
…
L: So, do you read your bible everyday?
M: (taken aback) Whuh? Oh‚ I'm not Christian.
L: (smiling) You don't need to be Christian to read your bible everyday.
M: I guess not…
L: I met this young man in Kelowna… Calagary…? Vernon…? Kelowna! Vernon…? Anyway, and he said "Yeah, I picked one up and it's changed my life!" so there you go!
…
L: So do you feel drawn to the light or the dark side? Or do you think there'll be a place in the middle for you.
M: (taken even more aback) Eheheh… (quickly walking away) Okay then…

I really had to resist saying something snarky, but sometimes it's just not worth it. Even so, it was a pretty wtf moment.

CHANGE OF TOPIC EXPLOOOSSIIIONNN:
Okay, I don't really feel like finishing the story line, at least not now. So for now I'm just gonna do whatever the hell I want. So there.
