Going well! Snuggling with the BF, while he plays Ratchet & Clank: Dead Zone and I stake out the iBook. ^_^ (about to drag out the last of the peach-apricot cobbler I made the other day and polish it off for desert...) ^_^

I've never been one for peaches, apricots, or baked goods, so it doesn't sound like my kinda thing, but I'm sure it's great. x3

I got to go hiking with them, though, which was fun. I grew up around farms, but not actually on one. Hometown = majorly small. Drive in any direction for 2 minutes and you'll come across cows. Or llamas. 4laugh

lol Well... I had to drive 5 miles to the nearest town (of about 100 people at the time... it's gotten bigger since); 7 to 10 miles past *that* was where the post office said we live; and a 15-minute drive in one of three directions is where you went if you wanted any real groceries... ^_^ My graduating class was a bit shy of 100... but thank GOD I didn't live one street further back, where the graduating class was 16, and the high point of the year was the rodeo... *shudder* And... my dad never quite knew what to do with me (go figure), as I didn't like hunting or fishing. Now, CAMPING and HIKING... mrgreen
aretoo is an Eagle Scout, by the way... it's surprising how many Eagles are, ahem, part of the tribe... wink

And, for some reason, I'm not really surprised to learn that about the Eagle scouts. x3

hehehe Yeah... funny how that works, huh? Of course, the OFFICIAL line is that they couldn't possibly be gay... yeah, right... wink
By the way... I like your list of movies. I own several of them. ^_^
(I LOVED both Saved! and Latter Days... and I'm really a sucker for sappy happy endings, like Saved and Latter Days both had...) mrgreen
EDIT: I suppose I *should* get a wish list together one of these days, shouldn't I? ^_^

So maybe "anonymous benefactors" could get you something you actually want, rather than, say, dancer bottoms. blaugh I really liked Saved! since I've been through the whole omg-Jesus thing with my relatives. Two Catholic youth retreats are enough to put anyone with a brain off of being Gung-ho about the Lord. sweatdrop

...aretoo was a church kid 'til he got tired of "love one another *unless*"... and *then* he was a Boy Scout for a good decade and a half (with Mormons and Catholics and Lutherans all sponsoring troops)...
And, frankly, I have the same problem at holidays... My mom and I have this little dance of she asks me what I want, and I say I don't know, and she says I'd better come up with something... ^_^

The Scouts here don't seem to have the same religious affiliation that they do in the US. It didn't have any connection to the church here. o_O
My mom just gives each of us (me and my two brothers) money and orders us to shop for each other and stick a tag on it from her. x3

Well... not *all* troops (perhaps not even a majority of them) are church-sponsored, but they do have rather a strangle-hold on the National leadership. Hence the "gay=bad" stigma still lingering. Give it another 20 years... confused
And that sounds rather... well, efficient, really; presumably, if you haven't ticked your brothers off lately, you'll end up with something closer to wat you'd actually want... ^_^
