Dear self,

Quit putzing about and do something productive with your lazytiem.


And now, a moral question.

When some innocent-looking lady stops you in the hall and asks if the guy you're sorta-tailing is your boyfriend because he's walking faster than she is and you'd decided to tail him because she's moving close to the wall and you don't want to bump into her as you powerhouse your way home, and you reply omg no! and then she hands you a flyer and asks if Jesus is your boyfriend and have you accepted him as your personal saviour....

What is the appropriate response?

I lied through my teeth ._. and I wonder if I shouldn't've said something more to the effect of "no, but the Flying Spaghetti Monster is pretty sweet". (Also, I am going to try to amass an army of volunteers to move me, and I'm wondering if I should feed them burgers or spaghetti and meatballs...)

My theory is if there is a god, and he is as forgiving as he's supposed to be, then what does it matter if I actively believe/worship or not? At least the cute asian girls who came to the door believed in a god-mother...

I always lie through my teeth whenever I get cornered by those, too. .__. Always be a fan of those little booklets they give out, though- they amuse me very much.

My theory is if there is a god, and he is as forgiving as he's supposed to be, then what does it matter if I actively believe/worship or not?

Reminds me of a quote i found:

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” — Gandhi

hoho.
(ALSO ALSO! One box of AVATAR ARRIVED GLEE.)

I glimpsed through it briefly and chucked it before long (both once i was WELL out of her sight. I hope.) The only part that stands out in my memory is "when the end comes, which may be soon..." and went, yep ok, bye bye flyer. Really. I am not perfect, but by and large, I had a good upbringing and I don't kick puppies, so I can't be too bad, right?

Ghandi is a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise wise wise man <33

YAAAAY!! You know, I'm gonna be spending most of the weekend in the basement, I think I may do a marathon of Avatar again :D

Oh the one I have tucked away in my messanger bag is just really kind of hillarious with pictures. The best one, though, was the tale about a construction worker who fell off a building, scewered himself on a pole, and died. He then went up to Heaven where he was taken back down to earth and shown all the bad things he had done while alive and asked why Heaven should admit him. In the end, he goes to Heaven because he repents yada yada, but it was still amusing. (They used to give them out outside my high school on random days after school XD)

Ghandi was indeed a very wise, wise man.

Now I just have to wait for the First Box and the Second box to arrive. Damnit Amazon, ship faster! D: (I got rid of the Prime Account I never knew I had and now it takes longer for things to get here >___>; )
Rah rah Avatar Marathon~! <3

OMG that is fricken hilarious XDDDD I prefer Robot Chicken's take on that. "If I made a wall six feet high with bricks made of all the poop I ever pooped, how long would it be!"

Gah! I hate it when you get part three of something before part one @@ Especially since it must be soooo tempting to watch it right nooooow...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jessen_/]

Next time I see you, I will have to try to remember to show you the hillariousness of the one I still have saved. (There is a page of words that if you are any of these words, Jesus does not love you. XD But I thought Jesus loved everyone?)

Ugh, I KNOW. I am tempted to just watch the beginning of the third season but then have to tell myself NO, noooooooooooo wait. Wait until you've seen the rest of the season again D:

Lying through your teeth is good. And of course, accepting the pamphlet. Don't give them your address or phone number (unless you want them to contact you). You don't think they'll call, but they will.

My asian roomie unfortunately was not aware that the sweet old ladies who are JW who came to the door would continue to harass him, even after he moved out LOL. I never ever ever give out that info. This lady today asked where I lived, and I said "downtown" ^^;;

[zoi-no-miko.livejournal.com]

That just reminds me of the girl who felt the need to PRAY with Farah and I at the PDO concert.... :S

I think the appropriate response is to go home and revel in slash sin. :D

[totchipanda.livejournal.com]

O_o;;;; weeeeeird.

OOH, i haven't revelled in slash, but I am working my way in that direction... (considering all I'm doing is reading unmarried sexytiemz fanfics... time to go peruse that Gambit/Wolverine archive >:D)

[zoi-no-miko.livejournal.com]

unmarried sexytiemz? as in PWP or am I missing something?

Man, I need a bigger fandom. Or at least to catch up on 24 so I can read Jack/Tony without spoilers. ^^;
My poor tiny fandoms. :(

[totchipanda.livejournal.com]

As in characters who are not married but living a sexy life of debauchery nonetheless XD (the one character is a girl who, at least as far as I've read, hasn't turned into a woobie "i need a ~~~MAN~~~" pit of disgustingness yet, either. She definitely wears the pants and I love it.)

*patpats* you'll get there :D I was reading fanfics with spoilers before I even realized they were spoilery, but then my series was only 61 eps long... (tres amused by your Keifer love, too XD)

[zoi-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Unmarried sexytiemz = Excellent! :D

Yeah, I think this one's longer than 61 eps :(
My cute little coworker says I have a man-crush. :(
(But, but... I've never really had an OTP this true before! ;____; )

I used to do the whole "pretend I can't speak English by pretending I spoke Japanese" in Edmonton, but that doesn't work as well down here.

You should answer honestly. We were all taught that being honest is the right thing to do, so don't be ashamed about telling the truth. It should be enough for them if you believe in something, right?

[koosei.livejournal.com]

lol whenever I see them through my peephole, I pretend I'm not home.

also, always happy to offer help to friends who are moving.

[totchipanda.livejournal.com]

I would have with with the cute asian girls, but the front door was open, so obviously SOMEONE was home ^^;; I used to get people coming up to me at the bus stop and handing me copies of the Watchtower, which i'd take and then throw in the garbage can as soon as they were gone.

I appreciate that, thank you :) I just need to figure out some logistics and will let you know soon *hugs*

[koosei.livejournal.com]

XD thankfully, I've never had people hand me stuff on the bus. I have seen them placing them in strategic places on the bus though. Most amusing to watch.

:) yupyup

Darlin' you're missing out!

I was waiting at the Churchill LRT andd there was a PACK of them standing around. One older gent was going from person to person, then going back to his group, then going around again. Starts off with, g'day. Like he knew me. Enough to make you pause. It's a telemarketer technique. Luckily my train came. It was like a door closed in his face. "Ah, this is your train?" No goodbye. Just walked off. If he couldn't sell to me I wasn't worth anything. Anoyed the beans out of me!

There is a girl about my age who wonders around my neighborhood. Starts off with an innocent smile and then "I read this interesting article about healthcare" Etcetera. One dude got so pissed off with her I was thinking I was going to have to intercede. She didn't even blink. Swear she'll get herself killed talkin to the wrong folks.

Tell them to fuck off

And this is where I say, man, politeness up there is much in evidence. Door to door religious salespeople? I shut the door in their face. People hand me fliers packed with religious crap? Walk past them or throw it away in front of their faces. Tell them to fuck off. Etc, etc, etc. ^^; Religion is best left to people on their own and not peddled like a product.

Also? Ghandi may have been wise, but he was a racist (go read his writings about Africans!) and liked to give enemas to people.

Re: Tell them to fuck off

[totchipanda.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if its a politeness thing or just the way I was raised. Although, it might be politeness, because Allan didn't realize that you're not supposed to give out your name or number to the little old ladies who come to the door with copies of the Watchtower... I TOTALLY agree though, religion should not be peddled.

Enemas? D: ew!

[andrea-miccaver.livejournal.com]

I just say "I'm not interested" and tune them out. Polite, but also firm.

Like with the Metro news guys. Same thing.

=p
