See, and I'm probably not going to be able to explain myself well here, I thought the religious stuff in his show was refreshing and topical. There's a lot of stuff going on in the world, and a lot of it has to do with this "I'm right; you're wrong, and therefore must be destroyed." attitude that extremists on any side have. I think my favorite part was when he said, "But those fundamentalist should be lined up against a wall...and poked with sticks!"

I liked that part, and I liked the Noah's ark stuff. It was hearing "God doesn't exist" repeated continually throughout the night that kind of made my stomach turn. I realize that is totally my issue, and it really didn't stop me from enjoying the show, a lot.

Me and The Boy, or Fay and Bloke?

I meant you and the boy. And then an x-posty thing happened. I'm sure Fay and Bloke will be just as fabulous once she ASKS HIM OUT (and/or leaks his RL identity so we can start dropping email hints), but they don't get called shippable until there's a ship to ship.

It was hearing "God doesn't exist" repeated continually throughout the night that kind of made my stomach turn.

I disagree with his POV on that, but because his delivery doesn't include denigrating people who believe God exists, it's cool with me.

And that's the problem with the rabid God people: it's not their belief; it's their insistence that anyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do must be ignorant slack-jawed yokels who are shilling for Satan. Not the *best* way to win people over to your religion.

Empress, there are also the last three here that went up recently you might like.

Well that and the end of the "God doesn't exist" sentance was, as a guy with a big beard who lives in the sky.

I'm an athiest, but I thought what he said about God being the aspiration to be the best humans we can was pretty awesome, and I think the golden rule corresponds pretty well with my life commandment which is "Don't be an asshole."

I felt this was a little denigrating, because he was essentially saying you're an idiot if you believe in God. Maybe that's just what I was reading into it.

DH took Annabel to the doctor to check on the seizure issue. The doctor is inclined to think Annabel's fade-outs are NOT epilepsy, but she's given us a list of things to look out for. We're supposed to time them, see what her eyes do, see if she's capable of telling us what she was thinking about, etc., and if they do match the criteria for seizures, we should get her tested more thoroughly before she starts school. It wouldn't be a major health issue, but we and her teachers would need to be aware because she'd occasionally miss hearing information, and that would need to be treated as a medical issue rather than a behavioral one.

Ah, Hec. If only BlokeIFancy were of your mind! (Or if he would at least stop being so fucking annoyingly Totally Adorable, and make it easier for me to deal with the pangs of dispriz'd love.) But bless you for that.

I'm willing to be a written reference. Give me his email address!

I'll explain to him why he'd be a blithering idiot not to pin you up against a wall immediately and kiss you for hours.

I can be very persuasive.

Have I mentioned how much I love seeing provocateuserss posts on my friends' list? It's like having an "OOH SHINY NEW PRETTY" alert. (AIFG)

OMGFayIsSoHawt! Love the hair! You look totally fab.

I got my hair cut/colored yesterday, too. Just-above-shoulder-length blunt bob with bangs, colored a dark dark purpley brown. I like.
