I'm not one for wild hyperbole, but it's like Nazi Germany!

Approximate quote from John Safran

Heeheehee. John Safran. *thumbs up* Thanks to lone_one very much for the loan of your DVD. I'm going to bring it back to uni tomorrow. But I won't leave it with anyone but yourself of patternsofchaos...

I'm rather shocked at a certain exchange I've just become privy too. rather shocked and apalled. But, not knowing anything further about it...

On a random note, that band I linked to like 2 entries ago, Regicide, really is quite good, at least in my opinion, for whatever that's worth.

Tomorrow is Thursday! JOY! Possibly the best thing about Wednessssday is that Thursday follows it. ssss [for the hell of it] Sad... maybe. But I care not!

Gee, was today hot or what? It was so hot that I drank copious ammounts of water. Because nothing else helped the thirst. And why I watched like 3hours of JSVG, because lying still and doing nothing generates minimal heat. Minimal heat=good.

I aquired a 30 can carton of coke today. Joy!

What else was I going to say... something along the lines of I found today's Screen & Print lecture a bit boring. Which was surprising, normally they're intresting, at least a little.

I feel like I have this awesome drawing, I think it's of an "angel" - ie wing'd person - of bold black lines and shadows, possibly with a sword, possibly paladine. All of my angels tend to be. And sometimes I think there'd be a really detailed dragon in the background somewhere, or maybe htat would be in it's own picture. It's neck is arched and it's about to breathe fire.
It's strange how I get these ideas in my mind, but I can tell that sometimes, it just isn't "the right time" to put pen to paper. Like when I drew that picture of Nny (see icon for part) I was just swept up by inspiration - I knew I just had to get the picture out of my system. And when I drew my (asyet undisplayed) picture of Alucard, although it's just a copy, really, of the disc 1 menu, I knew I had to draw it then. I haven't felt that yet for either of these pictures. I just hope it's not when I'm at work/uni/otherwise incapable of drawing, or at least on good paper.
Sorry if that sounded incredibly pretentious.

Note Beforehand: I = NOT devout religious type of any kind. Merely open-minded and thoughtful.

I was thinking, after/during JSVG, about God and stuff. I don't think I'm an agnostic, but nor am I an atheist. I think that "knowing" that a "God" does not exist is possibly harder than "knowing" that one does. What I mean is, a person that believes they know that "God" exists presumably has had some kind of 'proof' made evident to them, be it a miracle, near-death-experience, or whatnot. And as for 'knowing' that a "God" does not exist; how do you prove beyond doubt that something insubstantial, invisible and not-directly-interactible-with does not exist? I know both seem simple to do to the people that respectively do or do not 'believe' in a god, but I've always found it confusing. I know when I was a child I believed in God. That is, the Catholic God. I was aware of other religions, but figured that they believed in pretty much the same thing, they just called it different names and said different things. Which is what I think now, although not with the same conviction as I did as a child.
[Yes. I think I can at least call myself a young adult now.. I don't dare claim I am an adult, but nor am I a child]
Or did I? Did I ever truly, wholely believe in this God, and his son, and his mother, and all the other associated stories and teachings? I know I always believed in Angels. I'm not sure why, I just... did.
And I think I still... do. You see... the reason I'm not an atheist is because I do believe in something. It might not be sentient. It might be. It might exist, it might not. But I believe in this something. I don't not believe in anything, really. I mean, I keep an open mind. I'm not guilable, as might be mistaken. No. I'm also no longer Catholic, at least mentally. Officially, I am. It's not that I don't like the Catholic Church, it's just that I don't agree with a lot of it, but I do agree with some of it. And I think Jesus was probably a pretty nice dude, but I'm no longer sure about the... see... I'm still, obviously, a bit Catholic, because I'm too pansy to finish that sentance. Now that, my friends, is something sad. But as to my current beliefs, I'm not going to be able to explain myself here... and my, look at the time and how I've gone on already.. hehe.

Back to lighter, not-intelectually-stimulating things:
I am in a great and painful need for more bathers. Something with just the slightest touch of dignity, please. I mean, the red-and-yellow boardies... do not match the black-green-floral-patterned-tank-top-thingy. *sigh* *shame*
I also want to buy some more clothes, ones that I don't hate. I need some kind of not-jeans. Like a longer skirt or! 3/4 length pants *Weeps* but I will never find the ones I truly desire. I might just go and buy those plain, un-motifed myers ones and then make them awesome. Or go to an op-shop. Stupid clothes. Grr.

I think I might go now. Adios, amigos.

P.S Worship my icon. No really - it's Jesus.
AhAHA! Do not fear the Punniness.

Yeah that works.

I thought so.

I think I am aethiest, but I do believe in a soul, or something that makes a person who it is, that cannot be explained by chemicals or the physical being of someone. People can die, you can make them live again but they lose something, and are no longer themselves. I also believe animals have it (contradictory to Christian belief), I think anyone with a dog would know this... And maybe every living organism has it, but I cannot see it in insects or fish. Dogs, horses, probably cats...
