My being pregnant would restart the religion discussion, since it would be a genuine miracle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It!

Sorry -- wrong game.

Never mind.

What is even happening?

See, this is why I could never be a religious person. Because sometimes I honestly do think I'm better than the other person. And yes, I judge them internally, and I'll usually do my best not to make them feel like a lesser person, but yeah. I do judge, and I don't see how I could make myself stop doing that.
It's about the journey I think, Alibelle. I certainly still judge, and that includes making judgments about people I shouldn't. It's not like you're supposed to throw your good sense, compassion, or discernment out the window. I think where you don't judge (er...wrt my own understanding of my own faith so the "you" there should read "one") is with regard to the state of another person's soul, and that's what ticks me off about that website (although to be clear, I am guilty of this myself, as well). One of the things. How long ya got?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Totally it.

Not JZ, though.

Ginger, I said someting similar once, to the lab techs who were about to take my x-ray, and who didn't want to believe me about the whole, "I swear I am not pregnant! I'm sixteen! Eww!" thing.

Unfortunately, that gave them pause, and they were all, "So there is a possibility you might be pregnant?"

Alibelle, you missed JZ in Bitches talking about how she wished you'd done her junkie makeup for her acting gig at Stanford Medical School being a model patient.

Ah! Cool. Then in that case, I don't judge. Because I never think about souls, unless I'm also thinking BUfFieNANgLE'RsooooooooooSOLEmAtEs4eVa!!!!!1!11!!! Or the other state of soul I would be judging is, does Angel currently have his? Yes? No? Maybe? Of course, in that case, the quality of its state that I'm judging is attendance.

But then, I'm really bad at reading things anything other than literally, despite being an English major. Honestly, that's the hardest thing for me sometimes, in my English classes, is to find the symbolism. I'm all, wait, the lighthouse isn't just a lighthouse? Of course, school has taught me that the correct answer for any symbol is usually "it's a penis." So, whatever.

But for the first commandment, I read it as, put any other gods before you? No. Because I don't really care about any gods, so therefore none come before you. Yay! I didn't break it! It would take me a very long time to ever come up with the interpretation that not putting other gods before you = focusing on you 100% 24/7/365(6 in a leap year).

I'm honestly not trying to be offensive, if any of this is coming off that way. I apologize if it is. I'm just trying to explain why I'm really not drawn to organized religion at all, despite liking a lot of the artwork and jewelry. But that last part is my shallow side talking.

Oh! When was this? Is she going to do it again? Because Dead Crack Whore is one of my absolute favorite makeups to do. Seriously. So fun. All the variations of it: Dead Crack Whore At The Bottom of a Swimming Pool, Dead Crack Whore with Blunt Force Trauma to the Head, etc.
