The bally, ballyness of it all

I wasn't going to post yet, I have a photo to share but I need to scan it first, or acquire an electronic version from somewhere else. So that will have to wait.

Anyway, I'm feeling fed up and I wanted to share it, because I know everyone enjoys listening to me moan. And blogs are supposed to be about being honest, I think. I went to a party last night, and then another tonight. I don't like parties, they always make me feel depressed.

I thought I'd made a bit of progress in terms of building up a rapport with a few people but I still feel like I don't really fit in very much. I still feel that I have relatively conservative values compared with a lot of people in the chaplaincy, and I don't think it's just a matter of age. For some reason the laxity of others bothers me. I don't know if it's because of the witness to others it gives or just because I don't like to see people behave in such a way. And I really don't want to be the sort of person who tells others what they should and shouldn't be doing all the time.

There was some talk of Christians being repressed last night. I'm not really sure what that means. I suppose I'm quite repressed but I'm not sure it's always a bad thing. I'm more likely to bite my tongue than have an argument with someone.
