  1. YAEY what was the test again? Spelling... and - Kat - failed. Somebody get me a fork, 'cause I just got SERVED. XD But that was actually really good, Horatio. ^5 I aim to please... LOL. Every now and then. LOL.
  2. Here is where my name will be located: Logo Right :blink: :blink: *wonders why no one looks here* I tried, but had no luck. Some of the people's names are funny, though. xD Thanks for trying, I appreciate you trying to enter my contest.

    My place. :)

    We will keep you all in our prayers. Hopefully it won't be too rough. When you feel like talking, we are here for you. When you pass my town, wave. I will be in my cage looking for you. Thanks again. This will be my first time on a commercial airline, so I'm kinda excited about that. I can't say I expect it to be *fun* what with airport security and all, but it's a good experience to have. I'm really going to miss my friends while I'm gone though, I won't see them until Wednesday. Christina went home earlier tonight, so I've got the room to myself. And Marius is leaving for home tomorrow morning, so unless he gets back early on Sunday, I won't see him even tomorrow, which is sad, because out of everyone, he's been here for me the most. I hate to sound all mushy and stuff, but I honestly couldn't have expected to have a better friend. Ah well, I need to finish my day-of-trip pack list. It's amazing the things they list on the federal list of stuff you can't have in a carryon. I mean really, cattle prods? Hand grenades? Fire extinguishers? The airline flying will be fun for you. Security is not bad. Just remember to put everything from your pockets into the little tray or into your bag. When you set off the detector, this just jams up the line. Most important, do not carry any water bottles, coffee drinks, soda or other liquid, through security. It will be confiscated. Even if the bottles are sealed, they are confiscated. Once you get past security, they will sell these same items. Once you are on board, if you get cold easily, make sure to bring a sweater, sweatshirt or other item to keep you warm. Blankets are many times not put on board as too many are being stolen and it costs the airline too much. So, they just decided to remove them. Checking luggage is good as it cuts down on stuff you have to carry. Plus, it makes going through security easier. Carry-on... now that made me laugh. Keep those cattle prods, hand grenades and fire extinguishers home. LOL You would be surprised what you will see people trying to take with them. Trust me on this one... you cannot imagine what people think is acceptable carry-on. If you are a chef and take your personal collection of knives with you when you travel, those would need to be in your checked luggage. Can you imagine the look on the faces of the security people when you tried to get through security with those??? It is just much easier when you check your bag with all those extras. Having the room to yourself is nice on occasion, I hope Marius sees you again before you leave. lol yeah, when I saw "meat cleavers" on there I was like, "Darn, you mean I can't bring my meat cleaver collection?" Although I am kinda bummed about not being able to have my pocketknife on me. I'll have to remember to take that out of my camera case. As for the selling beverages past the security line, gee, coca-cola corportation couldn't have has any say in that now could they? Haha. I'm probably going to keep all my stuff in one carryon if I can. It might be more annoying with security, but my dad's done it before, and that way I get to keep everything in my posession so I don't have to worry about it getting lost. It's all going in my backpacking backpack, so it won't be too tough to carry. The stories about lost luggage are really overblown. The thing to check with your backpacking backpack is to make sure it fits in the overhead bin. Your father would know for sure about this. Just don't take anything you don't want taken away. They can xray your camera so there is no need to take it out of the case, unless the case is metal. If it is in your backpack, and you tell them you have a camera in there, then they usually will let it go through. If you are taking your laptop, be prepared to take it out of it's case, put it in a separate tub to slide through the xray machine. There are some places where after it goes through the xray machine, then you have to turn it on for one of the security agents. As for the Coca-Cola Corporation, add Pepsi and all the others, and then imagine that this is the influence they would love to have. LOL Actually in the beginning, you were not even permitted to buy a bottle of water or any other drink, after passing through security, keep it sealed and carry it on. The good news is that they have relaxed that part. The airlines hated it because it cost them more money. People now wanted two and three drinks of water, soda, etc., when they were on the airplane. Just make sure you don't put a flammable liquid in your drinking water bottle. You probably will not make it past security. LOL Your new home will be very structured, having security bars on the doors and windows, a uniform in a colour you probably don't like, and three square meals of unedible food. Arriving at your new residence also includes any jokes or comments about how stupid the process is to one of the security agents. LOL No sense of humour with those guys. lol really. My laptop is going inside my normal backpack, which will then go inside my big backpack, and my camera will probably be either in my hands or in a side pocket of my big backpack. And I've already got my shampoo and stuff in the quart-sized zip-lock bag, in an easily accessable outer part of my backpack so they can see it. If they really complain about it, I'll take out the small backpack and camera case, and check the rest of the big backpack, but I'd really rather not. LOL... oh they don't complain. It is only when you get to the security checkpoint that you find the ridiculousness of some of it. But, I can wait for your security stories.

  7. I don't believe there is anything wrong with you. I think there are things wrong with society. Extreme pressure is put on young people adding undue stress to their life. Once you move on into college, I do guarantee that things get better. High school is tough and a long four years. I would suggest that when you get out of college you try the Peace Corps. If you want to feel great about yourself, here is one way to accomplish this. In addition to helping others, you see part of the world you would not have had the opportunity to and you walk away having completed the goals set and meeting and developing new and fabulous friendships. I think you would really like this. Plus, it looks really phenomenal on a resume. the three reasons im SO EXCITED to go to college: 1. i will be in control of the food around me. if i go shopping and all i buy is salads and shove them in my mini fridge, with the ocasional dining hall and pizza delivery, ill be set 2.to get out of this town and this house its really stuck up around here and im over it and as for my house.. i just need out, ya kno? its a highly stressful unhappy environment and im just not built for it 3.i can smoke. freely. without worrying about breaking my mom's heart i cant wait. but at the same time, i so can.. idk its just hard to deal, i wanna pack up and start over meet new people, real, mature PEOPLE but just highschool preps and witchy wannabes i want to weed out my things i dont want this much i want to be simplistic i just want some order idk im done ranting happy halloween! Happy Halloween! Ranting is good. Getting out of your house sounds like it will be good for you. yea tomorrow my ocd friend is comig over and im giving her a pack and 3 dollars (=$10) to help me clean my room and sort out my life. lol im so glad i have fridays off. ugh so tired. Sorting out your life is always good. lol well my room is clean as heck but i dont feel good about it. eh wutever.. "the faultfinder will find faults in anything" thats me :[[ This sounds crazy, but what or why do you not feel good about a clean room? It intrigues me to have a better understanding of your feelings underlying this.

  11. This information was found while trolling around: "The New Age Movement is unlike most formal religions, it has no holy text, central organization, membership, formal clergy, geographic center, dogma, creed, etc. They often use mutually exclusive definitions for some of their terms. The New Age is in fact a free-flowing spiritual movement; a network of believers and practitioners who share somewhat similar beliefs and practices. Their book publishers take the place of a central organization; seminars, conventions, books and informal groups replace of sermons and religious services. Quoting John Naisbitt (1): "In turbulent times, in times of great change, people head for the two extremes: fundamentalism and personal, spiritual experience...With no membership lists or even a coherent philosophy or dogma, it is difficult to define or measure the unorganized New Age movement. But in every major U.S. and European city, thousands who seek insight and personal growth cluster around a metaphysical bookstore, a spiritual teacher, or an education center." The New Age is definitely a heterogeneous movement of individuals; most graft some new age beliefs onto their regular religious affiliation. Recent surveys of US adults (2) indicate that many Americans hold at least some new age beliefs: 8% believe in astrology as a method of foretelling the future 7% believe that crystals are a source of healing or energizing power 9% believe that Tarot Cards are a reliable base for life decisions about 1 in 4 believe in a non-traditional concept of the nature of God which are often associated with New Age thinking: 11% believe that God is "a state of higher consciousness that a person may reach" 8% define God as "the total realization of personal, human potential" 3% believe that each person is God The group of surveys cited above (2) classify religious beliefs into 7 faith groups. Starting with the largest, they are: Cultural (Christmas & Easter) Christianity, Conventional Christianity, New Age Practitioner, Biblical (Fundamentalist, Evangelical) Christianity, Atheist/Agnostic, Other, and Jewish, A longitudinal study from 1991 to 1995 shows that New Agers represent a steady 20% of the population, and are consistently the third largest religious group. New Age teachings became popular during the 1970's as a reaction against what some perceived as the failure of Christianity and the failure of Secular Humanism to provide spiritual and ethical guidance for the future. Its roots are traceable to many sources: Astrology, Channeling, Hinduism, Gnostic traditions, Neo-paganism, Spiritualism, Theosophy, Wicca, etc. The movement started in England in the 1960's where many of these elements were well established. Small groups, such as the Findhorn Community in Inverness and the Wrekin Trust formed. The movement quickly became international. Early New Age mileposts in North America were a "New Age Seminar" ran by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and the establishment of the East-West Journal in 1971. Actress Shirley MacLaine is perhaps their most famous current figure."

  13. What's the point in getting married when the entire concept of marriage is of subservience to the man and of a male-female relationship? So if a couple just lives together, then there is no subservience? Not if they choose not to. If you choose to serve, then its your choice. In marriage, you have to swear to be subservient regardless of what you want, what you believe in and what happens in the future. I thought they took those words out of the marriage vows. Depends on which denomination you are and which Bible you use. The majority still stick to the traditional version. And of course, homosexuals are not allowed anywhere near the pulpit. They are permitted in the pulpit in the Episcopal church. Did I say pulpit? I meant altar. That makes a difference.
