This is going to be one long complicated issue...

Yep, Amy is a guy, just very, very, girly. Amy is short for Ameris, and I don't like to pry much with him because he's an extremely personal person, he has a big bubble. That and sometimes I wonder if he can read my mind just by glaring at me >_<. But if you look deep down (really deep, like three days of free falling down a never ending portal) he is quite social and nice. Just not to me, or anybody really except for that one special person .


I haven't had contact with Emily either, but Rem has wanted me to. She likes to mess with my ego to, but she tends to use flashbacks of past mistakes or embarrissing moments.

 

Amy is a girly guy? Not sure what that means--is he gay? He doesn't sound like the sort I would have much interest in talking to...how did you start talking to him?

Emily was very good to me today. She laughed with me a lot, and she warmed my stomach and my chest quite a bit.

I asked Emily if she wants to talk to you. She laughed and got coy with me. I get the distinct impression that she does. "You win," she says. And just now she warmed my chest again. She's laughing some more. God only knows what she and your friends are cooking up.

The first time I started thinking of her as a friend was around November 2001. I went to her office to talk about some bit of business one day, and after we took care of the business we talked about other things. She was taking evening classes at the local college to complete her bachelor's degree, and she said she was interested in studying psychology and philosophy. I had long suspected that she was interested in that sort of thing, and this gave me an opening to tell her about some of the spiritual challenges I was facing at the time--with my first two spirit guides. At one point she interrupted me and exclaimed, "Oh, you need courage." And she said she was going to get a book for me. She brought it to me a couple weeks later--a book called The Prayer of Jabez. It was an early Christmas present.

After that she seemed to appear quite often while I was taking a break outside the office, and we talked a lot. I started to strongly suspect (she's laughing again) that she had the same abilities as my two guides, and she dropped some very subtle hints, and later some not-so-subtle hints. Finally I started talking to her telepathically, and one day I told her out loud that I was talking to her in my mind, and asked if she could hear me. She nodded, and confirmed out loud something she had said in my mind a few minutes earlier. It was over a year between the time she bought me the book and the time she confirmed our telepathic communication. She let me proceed at my own pace. I think she was trying to be careful not to scare me off. (She's laughing again--and more warming inside my chest.)

Not long after she confirmed the telepathy, I was talking to her out loud and telling her that I wanted to write a book about my spiritual and psychic experiences, and she interrupted me, saying firmly and passionately, "I'm going to write a book with you--even if it's 20 years from now, even if I'm only taking dictation."

I love her, Riesay. Well, right now I do, anyway. LOL

 

Yep, gay and effeminate. For some odd reason I've found that a large ratio (14 gay, 8 1/2 Bi out of 43) of my guides are gay. I have no idea why, eh, what can I do about it anyways? I met Amy around the same time I met Rem, maybe about a year afterwords. That's because the two are very good friends despite the constant arguments they have. If there's any planning going on chances are he has a hand in it.

As for the rest of your last post all I can really say is I'm kinda jealous I have as yet to meet anyone over here.

Now I'm definatly going to talk to Emily again, just not tonight. Tomorrow though, I'm going to be marching for about four hours in a Veterans Day parade and I'll need a distraction from the pain of combat boots.

Oh, I also looked up The Prayer of Jabaz on my local library catalog, perhaps not quite my cup of tea but I want to look at the teen version anyways, my mom speaks highly of it.

 

That is very interesting--the disproportionate number of gay guides in your entourage. My experience with gays has been interesting, but not so dominating as yours. Actually a guy I roomed with for a large part of my time in my college fraternity came to the realization that he was gay several years ago--which explains some of the things I noticed about him when we were rooming together. He dated girls at the time, but for some reason he always seemed to find them lacking...LOL. Now he has a male companion, with whom he seems very happy. I also worked for a gay manager for a while--he continued sending me postcards from his vacations, even for a few years after I left the company.

So, down to business. Emily tells me she didn't connect with you today--is that true? Something hindering the connection...but don't concern yourself, Riesay. The time hasn't come yet. You had other things on your mind. Combat boots? Would you please tell me why you're so dedicated to supporting our military? I'm not opposed, Riesay...I'm just looking for your feelings and convictions, if you're willing to share them.

The Prayer of Jabez wasn't really my cup of tea, but I'll always remember it because Emily bought it for me--you see how it is. LOL

 

I did try to contact her, but I couldn't get through, most likely because marching in the parade took more concentration then I thought. Especially when the person ahead of me was almost always off step and those cursed boots gave me blisters halfway through.

Gladly, not a lot of people want to hear about a fifteen year olds military opinions, so expect this to be somewhat long because I'm probably going to talk about my political views as well.



I am a bit patriotic, but mostly I plan on joining the Air Force as a translator because of the benefits like health care and retirement. Also there are wonderful education and travel opportunities that I most likely wouldn't get otherwise. I do oppose the occupation in Iraq at this point though, and I see Bush as an idiot, my dad however raised me with a deep dislike of Hilary Clinton that took rathor well. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people say they would vote for her just on the lone fact that she is a woman, a female president would be awesome, just not her. I don't like to think of myself as a democrat though, not a liberal, my dad didn't either so I just call myself independent. So its really horrible that my school is very anti-military and assume that because I'm in JROTC (any clue what that is? All the schools in our area have one and mostly people have no clue what the program is) that I'm some Bush loving, pro nuclear, war crazed fascist >_<. Out of the next possible presidential candidates I like Barack Obama the most and hope Hilary isn't nominated, but I hear it's unlikely because many others oppose her. Do you think that's true?



That was a bit long and rambling, sorry. But as stated before, it's nice for someone to ask what I think. Did you want to hear my religious views to? I warn you though, that's even longer. Could you tell me what you think though?

 

Riesay, thank you for your answers. I feel like I'm getting to really know you now, and I like what I see.

JROTC = Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. Is that correct? It's been a very long time since I've thought about this. I had some college fraternity friends who were in ROTC. Very good, solid guys, all of them. My dad served in the Air Force. He was posted at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, where I was born, and also served a couple of years with the American occupation forces in Wiesbaden, West Germany--I actually have a few memories of living there as a toddler. Me, I never served in any military org.

I came of age in the Vietnam era. This is only history to you, and may be hard to relate to. I turned 18 during the last year of the draft lottery--1971. President Nixon started ordering troops to return home the following year. Saigon fell to the North three years later, and one of my very favorite women friends, Kieu Hanh Pham, was one of the refugees who escaped South Vietnam with her family before the final fall. She saw snow for the first time in a refugee camp in Pennsylvania when she was exactly as old as you are, and she thought there was something terribly wrong with the sky. LOL

So Riesay, you want to be a translator. I have always loved languages myself, and I studied linguistics for a short time, as well as learning German and a bit of Spanish. What language or languages are you interested in, and how well do you know them so far?

To be honest, when Bill Clinton was elected president, I went into a period of mourning. I believe Hilary has somewhat softened her social engineering stances in response to political realities, but she still seems a bit scary to me. Regarding Bush, I think he was rash and unbelievably foolish to invade Iraq. I do like Obama, though I'm a bit concerned that his oratorial skills surpass his actual experience. I don't know, Riesay--it seems to me that Hilary is the front-runner for the Democrats. But we'll see. The Republicans don't really concern or interest me much at this point, even though, believe it or not, I'm registered as a Republican. LOL That may change...

Religious views--oh, God--now there's an interesting discussion, I'm sure. I have a lot to say about that, but I'll save it for a later post.

 

Are you waiting to hear my religious views? I said I would post them in a later note--so I guess I'll take a stab at it now.

I was raised by agnostics. Well, at least my dad was very much agnostic--my mom seemed to have some religious beliefs, but her view on the matter was that religious beliefs are private--so there you are: Go figure. I never went to church except for a few weddings.

However I always believed in God anyway. How come? I think it's just my genes and personality. I had a couple of psychic experiences as a youngster, and that tended to incline me toward a mystical viewpoint. I used my allowance to buy a subscription to Fate magazine when I was 12, and I longed for enough money to pay for a membership in the Rosicrucian Society. Then in Jr. high and high school I started becoming aware that there were some people who seemed very much like they were able to read my mind...I started using the I Ching for divination somewhere in there.

Then in college I had a mystical experience that dramatically turned me onto the path I've more or less pursued ever since. At that point I was certain there was something unbelievably huge that was driving the universe, and that all of us are one with each other and with the universe. It wasn't just something I believed at that point--it was demonstrated for me in a way that I couldn't ignore.

Several months later I fell into the hands of the fundamentalist Christians, and I spent lots of years in that realm. I read and learned the Bible. I learned the Gospel, and explained it to other people, and trained other people to explain the Gospel. I wrote Bible study curriculums for my church's adult small group ministry. I was a really good fundamentalist--except that I really wasn't. I accepted the brainwashing to a large degree, and I got extremely good at spouting the party line, but the deepest part of me never changed--and deep in my heart, I've always been a mystic.

Eventually I divorced my first wife and left that church. Since then I've attended a messianic Jewish church, a Catholic church, a Greek Orthodox church, and no church at all. My current wife is Director of Religious Education at a Unitarian Universalist church, so I go there on rare occasion--the UU's are pretty okay to hang with, but I prefer sleeping in on Sunday mornings.

Several years ago I started getting very interested in Zen Buddhism, and I've done a fair amount of reading in that area. I've touched on Hinduism, but it doesn't do much for me. I've read the Tao Te Ching a couple of times, and find it very Zen-like. But my favorite book for inspirational reading is Zen Flesh, Zen Bones.

Bottom line is: I'm not exactly sure what I am--I think I'm fairly unique in my religious beliefs. I think Zen Buddhism comes closest to what I believe, and yet I also have retained a LOT of my Christian beliefs--I don't think I've entirely shaken off the belief that Jesus was in fact, somehow in some way the actual "son of God."

This is my religious history in a nutshell. I haven't gone into specifics very much... I don't actually practice any religion, though I've been tempted to go into the city sometime and have a chat with a Zen master I know about there...

So I guess my beliefs go something like this: We are all souls having a human experience. We're all ultimately part of God and one with each other, and we come in material form into the universe as if it were a virtual reality game, to play roles and learn from experiences. Our souls are all connected to each other and to God, but we play at being separate entities in a material world--though sometimes some of us are granted a glimpse of the reality behind the material facade. When we "die" our spiritual essence can be recycled into another material existence, or it can eventually move on to...who knows where? Another kind of game, another kind of experience...

And that's my story.

 

Wow, that is a bit of everything. My beliefs are fairly different, but I think that's mainly because I'm young.

I don't really call myself a christian, agnostic probably. When I was little I was kinda scared of God and didn't like church because of that >_<, I was really wierd as a kid. But I did like Jesus somewhat, and I think he did have some sort of great spiritual role. It took me quite a while to realize I don't agree with some Christian beliefs at all, especially because although I don't go to church that often my mother's side of the family is very christian like and don't really like my lack of beliefs. I finally decided that Christianity isn't for me when my dad died, I still don't believe what my Grandmother told me about there being a reason for him having to die, it just didn't feel like it was his time to me, you know? It feels like when you buy a novel and read half of it, only to tear the rest of the novel out.

I do belive in a higher being or force though, and do hold a set of beliefs and morals, I'm just not concerned much with finding a religion because I think what I have going now is ok. Although later in life I do know it's fairly helpfull to have a strong moral foundation to fall back on in times of need. Rem just told me I'll always have her and the others, so I feel loved. I do like Shakespeare's line about all the worlds a stage, we all definately have roles in our lives to complete.

I've also found that to me most people who have tried to force their religion on me are one of my greatest annoyences, which is horrible because one of my oldest friends, Remi is always commenting on how Christianity is the only way to get to heaven, and I just don't agree with that in the least. We also disagree on homosexuality, personally I don't believe there's any sort of spiritual punishment waiting for you in the afterlife for being gay. Heck, to me that just sounds dumb. So we fight over that a lot but because I have so many gay spirit guides I hold strongly to my opinion, especially knowing that my guides are good people (mostly, Deyfas has no chance of a decent afterlife if we're going on the conventional requirements and I can name at least one pyschotic who's odds are even worse).

That's pretty much it for me, but you mentioned my wanting to be a translator so I'll touch on that, ok?

So far I don't know any more languages, I have only one elevtive and that's JROTC. But my school does offer Spainish, French and Germany. I'll take Spainish definately but I'm not sure on whethor I should take French or German to, I know I'll take one of them, just not sure which one.

I also have a fondness of Asian culture so Japanese is a language that interests me a lot, possible Chinese if I get the chance. Arabic to, because my dad told me it's one of the most useful languages to know.

A lot of languages to learn! But I have the rest of my life and I love learning about other cultures so I think I can do it.

 

Hey there! I just wanted to say wish me luck really quick, today at 11:00 I should finally be getting my braces. Of course my friends have had fun telling me horror stories of pain, but they have helped to.

Of course I'm still nervous! At least Rem seems to have forced Deyfas to be nice so at least I don't have to worry about trying to shut him up.

 

Braces is it? Well lucky you! LOL Yeah, I had braces too--though I was only 13 when I started my metal-mouth experience. Nowadays I guess you don't get all that metal any more--they glue these little things onto your teeth and then wire them up, right? Anyway the worst time is when you come out of the orthodontist's office with your new fashion accessories for the first time, and find out for the first time how it feels to have your teeth forced into new positions, and try to chew tough food with such tender teeth--but it's only bad for a few days, and then it's not bad at all until the next time you go into the office to get the damn things tightened again.

And of course it's worth all that pain to have a perfect smile for the rest of your life.

I want to comment on your post about religion and languages...

I was wondering about your dad...the way you spoke of him in an earlier post made me wonder if he had died...I'm very sorry, Riesay. How long ago was it, and how did it happen? If you don't mind talking about it... It seems like you were close to him...and I wonder if you tend to be more like him than like your mom... It seems like you've been through some hard times in your 15 years, Riesay.

I was interested to read your thoughts on religion--actually you have quite a few opinions about it, for someone so young--when I was 15, I knew so little about Christianity, I didn't even know what was in the Bible. In fact, I was 15 when I flubbed my pronunciation of a Biblical name when it was my turn to read out loud in English class one time--we were reading The Crucible, and I came to the name Pontius Pilate--it looked Italian to me, so I pronounced the final "e", and a few of my classmates giggled and the teacher corrected me. LOL Anyway, in MY opinion you have a healthy attitude about religion--I suppose your mom and her family might not agree...

So ummm Riesay...how do you figure your spirit friends fit into the scheme of things, from a religious standpoint?

Of the languages you mentioned, I know some Spanish, German, and a tiny bit of French--I love the sound of French, and I got a book to teach myself, but I was very discouraged by the 40 pages on pronunciation. German is a lot like English, in some ways--since the Angles and Saxons who settled England spoke the old form of German. Of the three, Spanish is probably the easiest to learn, and French the hardest--though it has some similarities to Spanish, because of the common Latin roots.

Strangely enough, I had some exposure to Arabic--it was when I was studying linguistics, and our final project was to use the linguistic tools we had learned to codify a language and analyze it phonologically and grammatically, and the language helper I got was an Egyptian Arabic speaker. It looks like there will be a big need for Arabic translators in the military for quite a few years to come, sad thought it may be... I also learned a bit of Hebrew when I was going to the messianic Jewish church, and that's sort of similar to Arabic. Arabic and Hebrew are harder to learn than the European languages, because they're not as closely related to English--and you need to learn a new alphabet, and read from right to left--and the written language leaves out all the vowels! Yes, it's true. I couldn't believe it when I first learned this. Apparently, the way these languages are constructed, if you know how to speak the language, it's easy to read the words without any vowels included.

Chinese is HARD, from the little I've seen--it's totally different from English, and you need to be able to "sing" it. I learned a few words of Japanese from a guy at work who's married to a Japanese woman. I'm fond of Asian culture too--maybe partly because Asian women look so cute. LOL I used to live right around the corner from the Little Saigon area of Orange County, California. I frequented the Vietnamese restaurants--it was almost like visiting another country for a little while. And when the Chinese New Year rolled around, they shut down part of the main street to celebrate.

I'll offer my thoughts about your idea of taking one or more languages in high school, for what they're worth...I don't know how your class schedule works out, but if you really want to be a translator, I would suggest learning at least one language in as much depth as you can in high school. It would be very hard to take two language classes at the same time, but if you can handle it and fit it into your schedule, then maybe you could consider it--but probably not. Of course, you can always study on your own...I started studying my dad's German text books on my own when I was in Jr. High School.

But it all depends on what you want to do and how you want to spend your time.

My, I have rather gone on and on about languages, haven't I?

I want to hear about how your braces experience is going.

 

Oh Riesay, one other thing--I was just curious--you have a lot of gay spirit friends--any who are lesbian? Or are they all gay males?

 

My, dad...wow I love him. He died in a motorcycle accident last April on the 4th, me and my twin sister had been staying with him since about the 1st and we found out the next day- our birthday. It stills hurts a lot to talk about sometimes, we were closer to him then our mom and he was a huge influence to us. I'm proud to say that in my entire life I have never met someone who didn't like him, which is fairly amazing for a person to be able to say. I miss him horribly. I could go on and on about him but I'll stop about here ok? I kinda imagined that he would live forever, it doesn't seem right that he didn't. Sometimes I get angry over it and call him a stupid jerk but I know it's not his fault, I'm just a bit sad.


As for the braces I found out the metal doesn't come for about a month or three, I just have these little bitty plastic rings crammed in between most of my teeth to move them. The pain! On the 5th of next month I get a special little bar thingy to help stretch out my upper pallet. It also looks like I'm going to have braces for four years and after that a retainer for the rest of my life >_<.

My guides now, from a religious scheme I'm not sure where they fit, most are Christian, a couple are Catholic, some athiests and spiritualists, a soon to be Pagan, two Buddhists and a Jew. So I guess they can fit in whereever they want to, personally I thank whatever caused them to show up, I never really thought about it.

Lesbians? That really makes me want to ask you something zengizmo, but I won't. Five of my guides are lesbians though, and to recount: nine are gay, eight and a half are bi-sexual, eight are straight, I swear one is Asexual, and eleven of my guides are to young to really have a definate sexuality. Any particular reason for asking?

Thanks for telling more about your experiances with different languages, I think after I take Spainish next year I'll try and take German, but Spainish first, thats what my dad told me to do, his reasoning was "first you have to learn how to learn another language"

 

From the things you've told me about him, I like him too.

And wear the retainer only while you're sleeping, I'm guessing? That wouldn't be so bad.

I was thinking more about how the existence of your spirit friends fits into your view of the universe.

You can always ask me anything--if I don't want to answer, I'll let you know. I'm straight, if that's what you're wondering--I'm very fond of women. I do appreciate a good-looking man, though--I have fun with my spirit guide Emily sometimes--if I see a good-looking guy--especially one that I know is her "type"--I'll suddenly turn gay for a few moments, and I'll say, "Ooooh, Emily--I want him!" This tends to get big laughs from her, cuz she knows I know she's thinking the same thing. LOL And she has a brother who really IS gay... The only "known" lesbian I've had much contact with is my wife's friend and former co-worker, who came to our house to visit a few days ago. I like her a lot. She greeted me with a big hug, and always seems genuinely interested in how I'm doing, and fully focused on me when I'm talking. I guess I was just checking for the balance in your friends--but there is obviously an imbalance in the high percentage of gays. I wonder why...

He was absolutely right, Riesay--the first one is the hardest--you learn the various parts of speech and grammatical rules for the first time, and then when you learn your next language you already have this framework in your mind to hang it on.

You might prefer to drink your meals for the next day or two.

 

Well zengizmo, I did know you're straight, the wife and kids remember? I also wanted to tell you that I won't be online for a while, my internet connection at home has died on me, either the rain or I have to suffer through a call to the phone company. Ugh. I hope it's the rain, it always is for the t.v., I bet who ever makes and installs these things have never seen rain or else they would account for it.


Luckily thought my teeth have started to hurt slightly less, I can now eat oatmeal with no fear! But the retainer is going to be 24/7 for a year or two then just two or three times a week.

Checking the balance? Well, I can tell you pretty much everything, I have a certian list on my computer that has everything, race, age, gender, name, religion, nationality, etc. I even made some charts to go with it when I was bored. I'm still working on it though, almost everyone likes to mess with me by giving me false information, being vague or just not telling me! Deyfas as usual is amoung the worst, although I've found a group that often uses terms such as 'you humans.' 'humans are so...' or 'what's with humans and...' they are nearly impossible. I also have one guide that is steadfast in telling me is a vampire turned during the American Revolution and I can't determine it's because he's insane (very likely) or if he's refering to something else. Heck, at certain points I've been willing to believe him, he also claimed he's seen Van several times before and they're "close to the same"

At least he (Ren) has a reason to confuse me, everyone else just seems to enjoy my pain.

 

Well I thought you knew based on what I've told you, but of course I've heard about gay guys who got married and had kids and then decided that wasn't really what they wanted...and of course, I could have been bisexual, couldn't I? But no, I'm not...

I'm very sorry about your Internet connection. I hope that gets fixed--I like talking to you.

So you have a spreadsheet on all your spirit friends? You've done statistical studies and everything? LOL I'm sure they think your list and charts are a riot. That's interesting though, about the ones who speak about "you humans." Very curious...

Short note tonight. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving, Riesay.

 

Yes, the list is hysterical to them, especially since I include zodiac signs and halloween costumes...I've also chosen favorite movies, color, music, etc as relavant but that's mainly boredum.

The ones who use 'you humans' though are: Rem, Amy, Yamato (well, they're description of themselves is iffy, it seems like they're not sure where to put themselves) Deyfas, Shosay, Irenel, Jiezas, Holeca and Ren, Rhapsody also seems to find amusement in my 'human antics' to.

I also found out why I have no internet (I'm at my Gram's now) my mom forgot to pay the bill and now owes MSN $200...blech.

Happy Turkey Day to you to zengizmo, I'm making a bread pudding, the rest of my family is freaking out because we like to have everyone make one dish each and I chose the easy one. And it's not raining! Truly a Thanksgiving miracle for my neck of the woods.

 

You're cataloguing personalities...your list and charts are exactly the kinds of tools a writer might use to note ideas and observations.

So you're saying that my sweet Remi might not even have a solid human body? Well she sure is good at pretending to be human then... LOL She seems to have mastered the principles LOL

Well I hope your mom decides to pay the Internet bill. LOL

Bread pudding happens to be one of my favorite desserts. My job on Thanksgiving Day was to entertain my father-in-law (who drove up from Connecticut) while my wife and kids were slaving away on the food. LOL Actually my wife did thank me for doing that, but I was just doing what seemed needed, and my father-in-law did seem to be enjoying himself--at least, he did until my brother-in-law arrived.... LOL

But anyway, good for you for choosing the easiest dish. I stuffed and cooked the turkey all by myself a couple years ago, but this year my sister-in-law did the turkey and brought it down with her from New Hampshire. My wife doesn't do turkey, since she's a vegetarian, and she's raised the kids the same way--they ate Tofurkey instead.

The best thing for bread pudding is to add a tiny bit of bourbon or brandy to the syrup--I don't suppose you did that, did you?

The actual truth is that I haven't been very romantically involved with Remi for some time--but Emily and I have been having a delightful time together for the past few days...

 

Yep, and since the internets been down that's all I've worked on really. I don't have much hope for getting it back soon though, the holiday season is a real financial drain so spare cash is going to be hard to come by.

Well, she is a solid body...I think, she says so anyways but if you observe closely you'll notice a few things about her that are somewhat of a give away. She's been bugging me about how you should get to know some more of her friends lately though. Wait, ignore that, she's saying she doesn't want to push you. Most of my guides however are all for you 'getting it over with' though. Not me, take your time, you're going to need it to get used to the insanity of these people...

On Thanksgiving though, the brandy is a good idea, little ones were eating it so I couldn't, but I did add a little maple syrup that was wonderful. and lucky me my little sisters did most of the entertaining, we had over my kinda step dad's daughters this year along with my Gram and later my Gramdpa and his wife, so it was a little crowded for me. I don't think I could ever be a vegatarian though, I enjoy meat a little to much, but tofu is good in most soups.

By the way, did you particapate in Black Friday? My mom did, she got up at about three am. I've only heard horror stories about old ladies with canes and tickle me elmo, I get to go next year and it seems fun.

 

She has let me see her face only indistinctly, and she has NOT tried very hard to contact me lately--hmmm, as I'm typing this I'm suddenly getting some intense warmth in my lower stomach area. LOL In general appearance she reminds me a lot of one of my own spirit guides, whom I call Mia--and Mia would be about the right age, too. That would be a good trick and a great story, if it's true (now Mia is flashing me pictures of her face). So tell me, how long was Rem's hair when she first appeared to you?

"Getting it over with," huh--getting WHAT over with? LOL Well I haven't felt much interest in talking to the others, so far. If there were something that really intrigued me about some of them, maybe...

Sounds like your Thanksgiving was fun. Tofurkey really doesn't taste much like tofu--it has a much more meat-like consistency, and even though I love meat, I like Tofurkey a lot--but not as much as real turkey.

Getting up in the middle of the night to go fight hordes of cars and shoppers--or for any other reason, for that matter--does NOT sound like fun to me. But I guess a lot of people like doing that, and if it sounds fun to you, I hope you have a great time when the next one rolls around, and you come home with lots of battle scars and war stories. LOL Better wear your combat boots so you can stomp the old ladies. LOL

I got a new tooth today--well, a temporary one, anyway. A few days ago a piece of one of my molars crumbled off while I was eating, so today the dentist put me on the first step of the road to getting a crown on that tooth--he took out the filling and artificially built up the tooth in preparation. I was expecting it to happen sooner or later anyway--it was more filling than tooth, and the dentist was just trying to buy me a little more time before the inevitable.

 

Rem's hair? Well to me its always been very long, her knees when I was little but now it's gotten to her waist, she keeps it in a braid and her hair is a dirty blond. I also love her tan, it's to rainy except for about two months of the year in the midwest so it's hard not to be a little pasty. As for not contacting you, she doesn't contact me much either, but whenever I even give her even the slightest thought there she is.

But I only have a vague clue as to what 'getting it over with' means... Something intriging about them? Well, one claims to be a vampire, many others supposedly aren't human, a normally suave jackass is acting like a cat with a flashlight, Deyfas is being...Deyfas. There's a lot more, and a wide variety of people (and two guide dogs), just ask some questions such as 'anyone ever refused to climb out of a tree for over four hours resulting in a call to the fire station?' and you'll find someone of your interest. >_< I attract wierdos...

I have a crown, (lots of apple juice as a baby), uck. I never like visiting the dentist, but I go in on the 5th so get these evil spacers removed! I can't wait, but was it wierd to have a bit of your tooth crumble off? I freaked out when a crown of mine came off when I was little because of a caramel lollipop. To this day I don't like caramel...
