Two more goat babies! Wøøt! Cute as can freakin' be. That makes...six, in all. So far only three of them have names: Floppy, Snow White and Teeny Little Superguy (Mr. T for short

You really shouldn't be jealous. I haven't any real sense of purpose, and my "social life" for tonight turned out to be a bust. No Shame theater was great, but Isa never showed up and I spent most of the time feeling miserable and alone, a feeling which got ten times worse on the ride home. Not to mention seeing all those talented people made me -- once again-- feel like I've just been putzing around all my life.
anymore, it's almost impossible to carry on any sort of conversation that doesn't offend someone. people are too sensitive, and for some reason they've gotten it into their heads that their feelings are more important than your freedom of speech. perhaps I've just been lectured too many times by indignant baptists and am thus bitter, but I don't think that person really had the right to ask you to alter your language. they're imposing their own moral stipulations on you, and that's dumb. not to mention un-constitutional. *fumes for a few minutes* meh....sorry about the rant. stuff like that angers and confounds me. I wonder how christians would react if an atheist asked them not to mention their god, because it offends them. I bet they'd be offended. ~cookie monster, ending rant before it gets out of control~
Teeny Little Super Guy!!! Rock! *starts singing the song and dancing*
That was always my favorite part of Sesame Street, that and the Flea Circus and whenever Wormy the Worm showed up. Ah, Wormy, how awesome was he? What with his little sweaters. *smiles fondly*
I will now address this in bits and pieces of randomness, seeing as my brain cannot take it all in at once. I apologize if I use "and" instead of "for" and such incidents like that; I have a dance recital in an hour, so I'm trying to hurry

I think that either one of the 2 girls in class would say that condemning manner. In the Bible it instructs in the ten commandments not to take the Lord's name in vain because he is the Holy Lord that you serve. "Well, can u please refrain from taking the devil's name in vain?" because the devil is not righteous and people don't go around saying, "oh my devil!" anyway. Even though that would be kind of funny. And I have a feeling, Betsy, that she wanted to be considerate of the strict Mennonite people watching the film. I'm not saying this to force my religion on you at all. I just thought with the facts it might help you better understand what she said and what to do. If you don't believe in someone else's religion you don't have to follow their beliefs. I think it's great though that you're considerate of others beliefs. It doesn't bug me and as long as you respect a person and their views I think you're fine.
The devil was strictly a joke. And yes, I think that Betsy is in a strange position because of the strong Christian connection at her school, but there are Christians who slip every once in awhile (like me)and it was unnecessary to get so down on her. I'm not saying i necessarily disagree with you, but being around as many non-Christians as I constantly am (or people who say they're Christians and don't let the holy spirit work in them...ignore this betsy lol) I am VERY careful about not forcing my beliefs on others and refuse to understand why Christians and non-Christians alike can't understand that. I'm beginning to ramble, but basically if you're trying to evangalize, the way to do it is not to throw it in someone's face or bitch about the way they are. So if that chick was seriously trying to be considerate of other people in her surroundings, she should have realized that Betsy is part of her surroundings.
BTW...is your name Charity? Because that's the most gorgeous name ever...:-P
Thanks to all of you for your input on the matter- and by the way, I just wanted to make it clear that I was in no way trying to criticize or bitch about the girl herself, or even her actions, which I'm not sure were totally unjustified. I'm just saying, it made me think about the whole thing more.
Every Christian slips up. Me more than most honestly. And I totally agree about not throwing your religion in other's faces. Aww...thanks. Compliments like that can brighten up somebody's day. *happy face*
Hey, Betsy, this might seem strange but I have some bamboo and it's not doing to grood...poor bamboo...anyway I saw one time at Dodicis (doo-whatever-I-can't-spell) they had bamboo and I was wondering, do you know if their bamboo is just in water or have soil or pebbles also? And I added you to my friends list for convenience cause I'll read you anyway.
