Slowly turning from atheism, here. Not sure to what.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds Deist.
I think I've got more of an idea of a personal god than Deism goes in for, but I don't explain it well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, dude. That sounds like a great book, and yes, so much in line with what I said. Coover. Baseball. Must remember.
Also? Not a long book. And there's a good sex scene.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
But I can't accept the notion that we're only alive for this short period of time and then we just disappear. That seems like such a waste.
In addition to that, many believe that people are alive because God wants us to worship him, but he doesn't need us to do so. However, we are taught that it is our duty to Him to go to church and worship Him. How does it benefit God any if I do or do not go to church? Why should I go to church if I don't get anything out of it and He doesn't need it?

there's a little part of me that does worry that God will get miffed at me for believing the wrong things.
I have quashed any tendency I might have towards this by picturing myself getting "sentenced" to hell and basically saying "Oh, yeah? Well, screw you, if you're gonna be like that, I don't believe in you AT ALL". Which would accomplish I don't know what, exactly, but it pleases me.

Newspaper Meara. Lots of stuff I wanted to share with various Buffistas
For billytea and Jen, a descripton of The Farallones by a local outsdoory writer. Calling it America's Galapagos is overstating the case, but it's still fascinating.
Check out this picture too.
For meara and I think Gloomcookie, A rave review for S2 of The L Word. (Medium spoilers in mid-article, but there is a spoiler alert.)
For Catholics, Vatican has excorcist shortage.
For Sunil and DXM and Jen and billytea and other science-heads...Isolating the Bug Love Pheronome. This is more fascinating for how they solved the problem of isolating the German Cockroach love pheronome than anything about the bugs. Cool science! Cyberpunk!

Oh, Hec, were your ears burning this morning? I talked about you and my t-shirt over at The Waterfront Homicide List.

Did you share a picture of yourself wearing it?
I forgot! I had a newspaper meara for you too.
New Crip Power Movie gets excellent review. Two disabled friends, one with MD, the other with CP, have hijinks and romance and independent living. Also, Irish.
