I also think your definition of bigotry is a tad skewed. It's perfectly okay to be blind and immovable in your faith... as long as you aren't violent, verbally hostile, or hurtful in any way to those who believe differently than yourself. That's bigotry. There's a sea of difference between your typical Christian and someone like Fred Phelps, who definitely uses his faith as such.

I think you missed my point entirely. I wasn't talking about faith. I was talking about books written by iron age cultures being taken as unchanging literal truth thousands of years later. People who do that tend to not play well with others (to put it mildly).

Caitlin...those are beautiful. She will LOVE them. I love amethysts too...purple is my favorite color. I have a really big Amethyst Crystal that I got for my birthday...I mean big...one side is raw and untouched...and a small part is polished and shined. Its on a pedestal going from my living room to dining room.. opposite is another pedestal with a big angel statue. I have to show you the pics.

I think he is such a...very attractive guy. Seriously, what makes him so hot is that he isn't pretty...and looks really good taking a shower. Haha. Man, I am digging him.

I forgot how truly terrible South Park actually was. Channel changed.

I've been pretty disappointed with the majority of the past 2 seasons of the show myself. It still has it's moments, though.

I've never been able to get along with juvenile comedy, even when I was a juvenile. The traditional "dick joke" sense of humour just makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe because I have a pretty conservative father, and some of his traits have rubbed off on me too. I prefer subtle and intelligent humour. I love programs like Black Books, Porridge and Spaced for that. You have to work a bit for the amusement, which I prefer.

This may just be the best thing ever. Oh, when precious childhood memories are revisited:

I saw this this morning. It amused me vaguely. But my inner child has been permanently scarred by hearing a beloved childhood character drop the "Mo-Fo" bomb :s. Oh Salem. How you disappoint me lol.

I had just started working part time in an Italian restaurant, so i guess packed on a couple of kilo's. Of course those few words & drawing really upset me , i thought i will show you!!! the fridge was not my friend anymore so i never opened it. I sat with my family every night for dinner, but only ate half of my meal, i also ran for 20 min every night. My weight dropped alot over a short time, i was skin & bones in 6 weeks. I would also not eat for 2 days in a row, if i ate something that was bad... I had developed an eating disorder, that lasted for over 2 years. My lowest weight was 45 kilos size 6, and i was prepared to go lower than that

but that all changed the day my other friends mum said she was really worried about me looking so thin & that i look like a skeleton. It was then i realised i had gone way to far with my obsession, i started eating normally from that day on.. So i guess what im trying to say is WORDS/ advise from family & close friends can trigger outragious bad thoughts regarding body image etc.. So if you decide to get into shape please don't take the same road i did

WOW! Its definatly hard to find a balance between eating healthy and snacking out sometimes...and dieting a good way and bad..
I do need to work on my eating...and working out even a little bit...I hate that its cold out so its not like I can go walking or jogging at the park w/o freezing my ass off and I dont want to pay for a gym membership right now

JTIS....(I copied this from my tumblr...I didnt want to re type this out so some ppl will probably already know some stuff)

So I got into my car today to go to work…and my car doesn’t start! My car is a 2008 Nissan Sentra…not used…my grandmother bought it BRAND new in 2008. She gave it to me last December when she moved in with my mom up here in leominster. She wouldn’t be driving here since she probably wouldn’t know her way around and probably would forget…So she lets me drive her car. I get oil changes when it needs it, I put gas in it all the time, I keep total upkeep on the car.

So I have NO IDEA why my car wont start. The lights work and the horn…but when I turn the key it makes the sound like its about it start but doesn’t actually start. I called my uncle(who is my mechanic) and he said its either the battery or the key. So tomorrow I am going to try and jump start my car to see if its the battery. If not, I’ll drive to my moms house to get my Grams spare key…and by “I’ll drive” i mean my friend will drive me because I’d have no other ride lol

My mom cant drive til like April…because of her siezure she cant drive for 6 months so she got rid of her car.

So that is my dilemma…
