i too, like the word renaissance! although its hard for me to spell and i actually copied it from your post! i always forget the first 'a' for some reason. on astrology: i think its funny. like haha, funny. i knew a guy who was a newspaper editor, and he said the picked the daily horoscope out of a HAT! hows that for accurate predictions? @_@ on God: i do believe in Him, but i don't force it on people, and have an aversion to those who do... it must be the seekers decision, not someone bashing you over the head, or poking you with a sword. i love having people with views that differ from mine in my l.j. friends page. i especially like it when you post about your life, zoe, and your dad. i miss my dad. im glad you still have yours. we have so much to learn from each other and so little time to learn it in. i wish people in this world got a long with each other just a little more and were more forgiving. wouldnt it be a much nicer place if it were?

I think it would be funny if Kris deliberately spelled it wrong and then watched to see how many people copies it from his entry, and how many picked up the correct way from perhaps another comment where it was correct.
i knew a guy who was a newspaper editor, and he said the picked the daily horoscope out of a HAT!
See, I think it's silly, in that the world is overly silly at this point, that you would even use that as an anecdote, and that no one else will think of it this way: that no matter how the guy made up the horoscopes, it would be stupid/wrong/incorrect. It's dumb that anyone believes them at all, so much so that it's noteworthy to someone that the guy says he picks them out of a hat.
Whoa, don't know how clearly I conveyed myself up there. Ahh, fuck it.

Exactly. We should be surprised that he's not actually using astrology charts? We think he's stupid enough to believe in astrology, too?
Maybe people hold out a sliver of hope that everything, no matter how stupid, could possibly be true. Finding out that it's a total scam is shocking not because they completely believe in astrology, but because they can't completely disbelieve anything

I never understand why some really intelligent people even halfway believe in horoscopes.
I think the word "renaissance" is beautiful too, but only because of the way it looks written down.
I remember you mentioned the Brights once before, and I responded with something to the effect of "too much effort/activism for me," but I bookmarked the link, and joined probably 6 or more months ago.

How does Priapus -- you know, the Greek fertility god -- feel about me?
