Be careful, Kristin. The Universe sounds, um, "under the influence."

Well, Universe, please keep up on the memoes. Have you seen the one about Sean??

Sean? Sure! I LOVE Seany. Looooooove Sean.

I even got his Mom a nice gold bracelet. From Cartier.

Hey Universe, what's the best month of the year?

I am so not obligated to answer that.

My ass thanks you. As does my heart, for putting off that first heart attack for another month or so.

Gotcher back, Kid. (FYI, I take PayPal...)

VW, had your advisor seen any drafts of the paper?

No, which was probably a mistake, but oh well. Live and learn, right?

I think it'll be ok. It was just a huge jolt.

And then I found out I don't have any financial aid left to pay for summer courses, so I may not be taking summer courses after all. So, just a bit of an overwhelming 1/2 hour there.

The universe ate my post.

Hmm.

VW, I'm so sorry. You're going to fix it and it's going to be fine, okay? It's really okay to not get it perfect the first time, love.

I'm actually confused about the Lillith thing, because when I was growing up I'd never heard of her.

There was God, then Adam, then Eve, then Cain killed Able and was sent away and married other people. Which always led me to -- what other people?? Because the Southern Baptists taught me that God made and Adam and Eve and everyone comes from them but Cain finds people to get it on with? Also if everyone comes from Adam and Eve, doesn't that mean there was a lot of icky incest stuff going on?

These were my questions that never got answered. They seemed to make my Sunday School teachers uncomfortable.

I also knew a lady from a different online community who started a religous bulletien board, but banned certain names from being used that were "of God", Lillith was one of those names.

People lived extra-long back then, so people could populate the earth faster. So Cain could have been in his hundreds and there'd be lots of people by then. That's what I was told, anyway.

Totally. March. Sockpuppet.

Born of whom, is the question ...

Lilith isn't in the bible. She's sort of implied in the first "Male and female he created them" or something like that, and she's big in Jewish folklore, in which she left the Garden of Eden of her own volition and became a child-stealing infant-killing demon, more or less.

But there's still the icky incest that no one I asked wanted to account for.
