I saw some people were acting like they were whispering talking about some thing. I think it might be my religious web site. I hope not. I walked home. I saw Sue. She found my Lance Richard web site. She liked it. I added a guest book. I know I shouldn’t but I wanted to see what people say about it. I watched the news. The news talked about my web site. The news talked about me creating it. How did they know I created it? I didn't put my name on it. It sure was very strange. Sue wrote a nice comment about my web site in the guest book.

  "Elizabeth, Good to broaden your horizons on creating web sites. I'm proud of you and encourage you to keep doing it. It may help you get good job skills and feel better about yourself. So keep up the good work."

  This sounded like my mother talking this to me instead of Sue. It was very weird. The kittens are in my room. Victoria is in my bureau drawer. Demeter is sitting on my bed watching me write. I stayed up late because I wanted to. I checked my guess book. I got negative e-mails from people thinking my religion is a no no. I can’t help it. I wonder what Bruce thinks about this? I got positive e-mails from Bruce and Lad.

  From Lad

  "Nice web site. Keep up the good work. Perhaps you can have a job in Web site design."

  From Bruce:

  "I enjoyed your web site. It was really good. It's good to have a web site on the old religion. Thanks Lizzie"

  I wonder why people have to be negative. I can’t write this down. It’s too ridiculous for my journal. I added a web site about High Council. Who the depths is High Council?! I couldn’t find a web site on High Council.

  Weird out,

  Dear Anne,

  I worked on my High Council web site. I added a guest book. I’m trying to be fair. I saw Sue. She told me she’s going to take a walk. I hope she’s all right. I ate some lunch. Then the doorbell rang. It was the news people complete with a camera that looked old fashioned and a lady that had a weird look on her face. She looked Native American and was wearing a red suit. They asked me questions about my Lance Richard web site. How did they discover this? The only other person who knew was Sue. I think she blabbed. I saw her outside talking to the news crew and she pointed to our house. I told them that I don’t know a thing about High Council. I was honest. I explained I was from the twentieth century. They were very understanding. I saw the report on the news. They were very nice to me. Georgia stopped by and had a book with her. Told me the book explains High Council. I told her I got negative e-mails from people in my web page. Georgia explained many people here are very strong traditions on religions. I asked her what religion she’s in. She explained she was a believer of High Council. I read the book for two hours. Sue came home to eat. I showed her the book. She seemed oddly interested in it for someone who's supposed to be atheist. She claimed to me once that she didn’t believe in any religions or anything to that involved. High Council is a god all right. He’s a Native American who represents all human races. The book was confusing. It didn’t explain High Council very well. The book explained he’s the god of Nature including the Terrania Unity Games. The Terrania Unity Games are going to be on earth in three years. I wonder what life on Earth is like. I could ask someone from Earth to tell me. I watched too much TV. I walked around the neighborhood. It was nice out. I walked home. I have dinner cooking in the oven. I'm still confused about the god. It is weird. I'm bored.

  Sue is here in her room. She left her door open. I think the cats are in her room exploring. Her light is on. I checked on her she was asleep. Victoria was sitting on her bed next to her head. She's staring at Sue. Demeter tried to sit on Sue's stomach. Sue moved to her side. I can't sleep with a light on. My room has to be totally dark. My room window looks out the back yard. The yard is big with a river going pass the house. I could see mountains in the distance. There are crystal spires on the mountains. I think they were left there from people who used to live here in the pass. I hope when they came that their friendly. I have to go to bed early I'm working tomorrow. I rather work elsewhere. It'll be nice to teach sign language. I would love to teach a class. I think I could make a call to the community center about that. I'll do it tomorrow. I checked the news. The weather said it's going to be a beautiful day tomorrow. I can't help agreeing about that. Outside its dark out the sun has gone. I should be taking my shower and going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow.

  Yours,

  Elizabeth

  Dear Anne,

  Before going to work I got a phone call from Anna. She told me to bring Sue along. I had to coax Sue out of bed. We were late to work for ten minutes. At work I found the store closed and the lights off. Anna told us the power went out again. We went to the break room. The lights came on and there were all of the employees surprising Sue and I. Two birthday cakes and baby stuff for Sue. Several people told me they liked my High Council web site. I told them about Georgia giving me the High Council book. I was afraid to mention about being confused about High Council. Anna asked me about my religion. She explained she was confused. I told her truthfully that I was confused about High Council. I explained the book didn’t help. Anna told me she read a book about the religion and still couldn't understand it either. I explained about Lance Richard being an old religion on Earth. She was interested. I told her it was neither my birthday nor Sue's day. Anna explained the employees wanted a party and they thought it was nice gesture to celebrate birthdays. I got presents. I got three homemade bracelets made out of string. I put them on. The bracelets had symbols of Ancient Egypt woven on them. They were in three colors, blue, white and red. I got a silver pendant of a bird that resembled the symbol of Osiris an Egyptian God. The necklace looked old and reminded me of my mom’s necklace. I don't think I'll take it off. From Anna a religious book on Lance Richard. I think it was the book she was reading because the book looked used. Sue went home with the baby stuff by cab. I went back to work. I told everybody that I was diabetic. Anna told me the cake is okay for me to eat. I tasted it. It tastes like apples. I had cake and apple juice to drink. Someone nicely put fruit drinks in the drink machine. Work went fine. The customers tried to talk to me in sign language. They were nice. Some treated me rudely in sign. I asked why. An old lady told me she doesn't approve of my Lance Richard web site. I told her it's my religion. The lady was shocked by what I told her. She left the store. The excitement came when she set off the alarms. She tried to blame me for putting a lipstick in her bag. Instead Anna had the old lady arrested. She looked mad. The old lady turned out to be Penny's mother. Phyla Smith is her name. I don't believe it. I checked online for High Council web sites. I only found my web site. I'm surprised that no one made a web site about him. I asked Anna questions about High Council. She told me the religion involves the Terrania Unity Games. There are several people who have evolved the religion to involved perfection. They think people have to be a certain height, weight and must have good ears and eyesight to qualify for perfection. Anna truthfully told me she believes in toleration for others. She doesn't believe in perfection. She thinks it's a load of garbage. I checked the schedule I'm working tomorrow. Anna told me there was a driving class tonight. I went home after work. I found the living room full of baby stuff. There was a crib, diapers made out of cloth, baby rattles, baby powder, and other items I don't recognize. They looked weird. I told Sue there was a driving class tonight. Sue asked to come along. I hope Bruce is there. I like him. I think I'm in love with Bruce. I told that to Sue. She thinks it's a case of puppy love. Class went fine. People were talking about Phyla Smith, Penny's mom. Bruce wasn't there. Sue tried the stimulator and got one hundred percent grade on it. There was no interpreter. Jeff did his best to sign. Sue helped him out. She became my interpreter. Thanks Sue. I thanked her after class and Jeff let Sue drove us home. I called Lad on the phone and reached his answering machine. I inquired about his descendant Bruce. I admitted I'm in love with him. I had a long day. I have to ge
t up early tomorrow. Sue is in her room. I went to check on her. I found her watching TV.

  I told her "I'll see you at work tomorrow."

  She waved as if she heard me then continued watching TV. She was watching the news. The news talked about the arrest of Phyla Smith. I went back to my room to go to bed.

  Love,

  Elizabeth

  Dear Anne,

  Sue arrived at work. It was good to see her. I expected her to go straight to work. She went to the computer and was online looking for stuff. She told me she read my High Council book. She had several ideas for my web site. I told her to help herself. I think she should be working. Sue left the room to work. I checked on the web site. She added information about him being the god of the Terrania Unity Games. I hope she doesn't start believing in the perfection garbage. I really hope not. She even added a picture of High Council. He looks like a Native American all right. He had Native American tribal clothes, headdress, tunic, pants, and a cape. That's a first. A cape?! I hope Sue doesn't start believing this crap. It’s a weird religion. I hope Sue is
