Toddlers are exhausting.

Moby on his blog: "i saw a picture of michael stipe today and i thought it was me." Ironically there was a picture of Moby next to a picture of REM in the paper the other day, and I was really confused for a second. Glad it's not only me. :laugh3:

Hey, Frodo: A very wise elder at my church likes to say something along the lines of: Evangelism is like a dance. When two people are dancing, they need to both willingly move together. There has to be give and take involved, or you both trip over each other. When you try to force someone to dance, it's not called dancing, (and it sure doesn't look like dancing either) it's called assault. You see, there needs to be a bit of art involved. Now I don't go for the Calvinist predestination sort of view at all, but still a person isn't going to want to dance unless God has already been working in their heart, making them open to listening and to working with you. Equally, shouting in the virtual marketplace is never going to do much no matter how true what you're saying is, unless you yourself are working with the Holy Spirit to guide you and to give you the right words to say. Not even the greatest apostles could speak until after Pentecost. Now the Bible says something about not hindering even unbelievers who preach the real true gospel, because the word is still getting out, and because of that I'm not going to join the "lock this thread" brigade. But I still have to say, the way this thread was started makes me feel a bit slimy- I don't like seeing the things that mean so much to me presented in an all-caps n00b spam-post no different than the ones spammers use to try to sell cameras and junk in here. It's degrading. You'll remember in Acts 17 even Paul when he was in Athens investigated the local culture and adapted to it before he started preaching- he even incorporated one of the local gods into his sermon. And it worked. So could I respectfully suggest that if you're going to continue to hang around here that you at least try to get to know us a little rather than just arguing all the time? Relax. Pull up a chair. Even if the world does end tomorrow, it's all in God's hands. Do you like Coldplay? What's your favorite music? Why not talk about the weather? Or share a laugh? I think you would find that people would be a lot more willing to have a conversation with you if they had an idea of who you were and what you were like rather than just a n00b spammer.

. :laugh3: *sigh*

I was going to say, sounds about average for around here 8 or 9 months of the year... but then Briggins beat me to it. Durr. :P Though it was actually unusually nice today. I even ate lunch out on the deck in short sleeves. Granted I had goosebumps, but it was worth it to feel the sun on my skin again. :nice: It's been a rough winter.

^ I know, I'm so excited, going crazy, can't wait that long... really can't wait for or WOOHOO! :dance: :dance: :dance: But then the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over and Tennant might not be back and it'll be nearly two years before the next season and that'll just suck. :cry:

Goodness, is this thing still going? Hate to be mean about it, but it's not the message, it's the attitude...

No, as in 'not existing because it's reserved for movies and tv shows'. _ _ _ - 555-01_ _

^It's the second most recent thing posted. (Most visitors probably aren't compulsive site-checkers like the rest of us...)

I think it's north america only. :\

hmm... it gets better. Out of curiosity, I used a bogus number and after asking for my sign, it tried to sell me some $10 ring tones. :freak:

Marketing, dude. It's all about the marketing. And not sinister?!?? That thing costs a buck twenty-five a DAY- that's over $35 a month for text spam. That's beyond sinister. That's just evil. But yeah, that said it is awfully pink and fluffy for something so orange an threatening.

Cool sandwich. Though I was expecting something a little more Dagwood-ish from the subject I guess... Wanna know a cool trick for pictures like that? Use a flash so it doesn't go all shaky. But to make the lighting look better in close shots like that, hold a thin piece of paper over the flash- that way you don't get the harsh shadows and hot white spots in the picture.

I've seen it. Didn't care because it's an ad and I try not to think about them. But since you got me curious and it popped up again... ...erm well, see for yourself. Sorry to disappoint. Cheesy horoscope. :sick:

Is it safe to come out yet? :curtain:

:laugh3: A "rush of blood to the head" explained in one simple diagram. I love it. :laugh3::laugh3:

Silly season. Plenty more to come...

Aw, I adore Life is for Living. :nice: Have you ever seen the Brackenwood version? It's adorable. http://www.biteycastle.com/sageWindow.html

I was sick the first time this came up. I'm disgusted now. :sick2: Good grief. You know someone doesn't want to be photographed when the only time candid pictures show up is when something awful happens to him. *throws rotten vegetables at cameraman* BOOOOO!

New Born Bliss. :cry: Alas, there goes my favorite Muse song. *pouts*

:laugh3: Yeah, I don't mind. People have been calling me Erin for long enough that I think I would still respond to it in real life. Kinda weird that way...

Don't care. I usually smile and nod and agree that I can see why the other person doesn't like them (nothing like a record company cramming them down people's throats to force all the haters to revolt rather than ignore) but that I like them anyway because they mean something special to me. And then I change the subject back to music that the person does like. It's an old geek trick for when that person you're chatting to actually can't stand people who like to talk about Star Wars or whatever- find common ground. Makes life happier. And why on earth do you care what an emo thinks anyway? They have some of the worst music taste on the planet. :sick:

It's a subtitle. As in an official part of the full title that doesn't have to be used. Sort of like calling "John Smith" just "John".

:D Thanks guys! :nice: :juggle: Oh, and the name is Mo... Erin just used to be my username.

heh... come to think of it, I went to bed early that year... :laugh3:
