Which Reminds Me
Yes, why is Karen Robinson asking me all these weird questions, as if she were fishing for information? She probably makes pretty good money as a librarian so what is she doing here anyway? She doesn't really need a career change. She already has a library career and plenty of money in the bank, so why is she so curious about poor little me? I really don't have anything very juicy in terms of scandal to offer. I am just a very boring person. I really don't want to stir the pot that much and unnecessarily attract to myself all this unwanted negative attention. I can't afford to do that. I don't remember myself signing any contract with Karen that I should be bothered later to recall some worthless trivia that only makes me look like an idiot. I can't afford that. But I am too polite to tell Karen where to go. I will just leave her to figure that out for herself.

So did she forget what she was saying and marry her rapist? It wouldn't be the first time.
Scary to think that these people can dump all their garbage on me and there is nothing that I can do about that. Here I am so many years later and can only remember one thing that was said about that, not really enough information to make an intelligent commentary on their situation. Makes me want to forget that I was ever at the library that day, because anyway I cannot control the flow of information and they only want to use me for their own purposes even when I cannot even remember what their names were. They really don't care about me and my personal life. It's just all about them.

That girl from Tallahassee, she was complaining about how they treat women so poorly, and also apparently her creepy ex-boyfriend had gone up there gotten in and spread some unfavorable reports about her which were coming back around to haunt her. What was her name? I don't know very much about that. I only remember some things that she was saying at the time.

Yes, I think that Jesus has a right to exist. When you recognize the right of Jesus to exist, then maybe we can discuss the rest of that. Otherwise, the bully clubs tend to fall flat.

Which Reminds Me
While I was in Virginia, I remember I was in the library and that girl from Tallahassee happened to be there and was telling me a long story about how women have no opportunities there, about how women are just shoved aside, and she also told me her sad story of being date-raped, but that was before when she was living in Tallahassee, and how he seemed so handsome and came from a very wealthy family and yet he was in reality completely cold and heartless and cruel. Sometimes you think that people are going to care when actually they just don't care. Sometimes people just don't care and the sooner you get over him the better for you because, anyway, you have to take care of yourself.

I seem to remember, vaguely, hearing some people talking online about how disgusted they are with the Cederblom family, who while pretending to be AG missionaries in Panama, were actually attending the Union Church there, which is an ecumenical church serving diplomatic and business people temporarily visiting the country. I remember hearing that some people are disgusted with the Cederbloms for pretending to be military and diplomatic heroes when actually far from it, they were only missionaries, not really entitled to such exalted government protection. I can't really judge them, although I can't really defend them either. I really don't understand what was going on in Panama.

Yes, it is hard for me to imagine ever having any reasonable conversation with the Whitaker twins. I noticed on Facebook that Pat was living in Atlanta, which is also the residence place of Winnie and her airplane pilot husband whose name I forgot, at least that was where they were the last I heard or saw something about them, while Michelle was living somewhere in the Midwest.
Someone, maybe it was them, was trying to make points by saying that only they can be considered U.S. citizens and Christians, because they attended the Union Church, an ecumenical church which they view as the official U.S. church and social community there in San Salvador and its various youth programs, whereas we were attending a native church of our own denomination in Spanish language actually because after all our parents were missionaries of a certain denomination and it would look sort of weird in terms of church politics for us to be running off to some other church denomination even if it might have perhaps afforded more social life in terms of interaction with a greater variety of other U.S. citizens rather than natives. Not that we didn't visit another church on a few occasions, but we didn't assimilate with the ecumenically Union Church at that time, or the Baptists for that matter, not that we don't know who some of them were from high school. So does being a non-Union Church Christian make me a native non-Christian? It just would have been too weird for us to be legally forced to congregate at the Union Church when obviously freedom of religion is a key element of our reason for being there in the country in the first place. You can go wherever you want. I am just saying. But of course these simple-minded twins are actually Canadians who think that everything has to be the Church of England. But this is the U.S. where we don't have an official state church, although overseas I don't know how things work in some other countries. There was no law requiring us to attend a particular church, at least not at that time. It was just that we were AG and that was our whole reason for being there.
