That seems to be a thing now- there was that couple in Sweden who were doing the same thing.

I went to the garden store today and got basil and Swiss chard seedlings to grow in my window box (well, the chard will be in the windowbox, the basil has it's own pot). So if I get Raptured later today, could someone come water my plants?

Steph, that was AWESOME.

I would welcome a Rapture that was actually Jesus taking all the gay Christians on a big gay cruise ark. Although I like having gay Christians around, so it would make me sad. But they totally deserve big high-fives from Jesus.

(I also love comic!Jesus's annoyed "It won't BE ON THE NEWS!")

I can't justify the expense of that money clip, but I totally want it.

So if I get Raptured later today, could someone come water my plants?

I'll do it! Because I think the odds of me really having to do it are vanishingly small.

IORaptureN, Camping (the Rapture guy) has taken his Facebook page down. His radio station is still on the air, and apparently they haven't mentioned the Rapture today.

Oh my god, if that Batman money clip wasn't $40, I would buy it for Tim, my brother, my stepdad, and my dad. (Particularly my dad, who uses a rubber band as a "money clip," because he is classy like that.) (And at this point I should share that the purse I carry every day is beat to hell and looks horrible and I'm ashamed of it but can't find a replacement I like so I keep using it, so I really can't mock my dad for his rubber-band money clip.) (Except it isn't even CLOSE to being as cool as a Batarang money clip.)

t edit Heh. Expensive Batarang money clip x-post!

Ooh, I need to water the plants.

Expensive Batarang money clip x-post!

That could be a band name.

Erin, I just had a major worlds-colliding moment: The first commenter on your most recent Facebook post ALSO just commented on my mother's most recent Facebook post! (She's someone my mom knows from the days when we were both on an email discussion list for fans of Dar Williams, back in the day.)

Suzi?! Too funny! I was in London with her in 93 on our MO-Exchange Program, and have kept in touch all these years! She's very cool; lives in Portland.

Also, in that vein, two of my girlfriends who have known each other for YEARS just found out they are actually related through marriage via a relative posting on one's FB page. They were all "That's my cousin!" "NO! He's married to MY cousin!"

It's nice here today; I am going to do some weeding and composting work in a bit, before the rain rolls in around 4, and work on some writing stuff.

The Rapture could still happen.

Marie Exley, who helped put up apocalypse-themed billboards in Israel, Jordan and Lebanon, said the money helped the nonprofit save as many souls as possible.

She said she and her husband, mother and brother were glued to the television on Friday night waiting for news of an earthquake in the southern hemisphere. When that did not happen, she said fellow believers began reaching out to reassure each other of their faith in the prophecy.

"Some people were saying it was going to be an earthquake at that specific time in New Zealand and be a rolling judgment, but God is keeping us in our place and saying you may know the day but you don't know the hour," she said Saturday, speaking from Bozeman, Montana. "The day is not over, it's just the morning, and we have to endure until the end."

I wonder if tomorrow, she'll be saying, "God is keeping us in our place and saying you may know the month but you don't know the day."

And then next month....

Worrying about the Rapture is on my list of shit to be concerned about.

It's right under item 20,306: Worrying about corkboards becoming animate and eating me.
