yesterday, tim and i saw 'fahrenheit/911'. i'm not quite sure how to debrief it in my own mind, let alone in writing. i had quite a mixed reaction i think. some of it i thought was a bit rough (like on george w), and then other parts brought up anger, despair, confusion, grrrrr-ness, sadness, disgust, horror and some bits made me chuckle or laugh. some images were very disturbing. i was thinking how desensitised i am to violence or death because of stupid hollywood movies. and was reminding myself these were real people - both the iraqis and american soldiers. it's just all so crazy. hmmmm.... so thats my very poor attempt at debriefing. like i said to tim, and bart later said to me, it's one of those things with which you take a grain of salt. it's in things like this that i know i'll never know the answers or "why" so i just have to trust God that He does. and sometimes that's hard, coz it's all so injust and wrong and stupid. meanwhile, i know the film was on a slant, but it makes you realise even more how incredibly slanted the media is. which i knew. but still. aaaargh!
hung out with a different kind of bunch last night. after SNT, lach, deb, tim, me, chris, brett, lyndal, bron, chrissy and chrissy's mate watched a dvd at chrissy's. i must admit i didn't move too far out of my comfort zone, as i sat with lach and tim, but that's ok. sometimes i feel very awkward and self conscious around people i don't know so well, even if i'm with other people i know really well. silly jenny. but it was funny how not into 'monty python and the holy grail' we all were. brett's a classic though.
