Just stay focused on getting Brothers' pizza soon. Remember, it cures all ills.

Here's a mood killer. Misery is waking up on day 14 of your first ever jail stay knowing that what you did is worse then anything ever thought of and you're never going home. Misery is not washing or cleaning yourself in any way. Misery is crying every waking moment and hoping to die because you're a waste to society.
SO glad I dealt with THAT stuff before I got out a couple of years ago. Turns out I only did 8 on a year, my "crime" wouldn't have batted an eye in 40 other states, and, obviously, I'm home and better for the whole experience.
Emo kids better recognize!

Realizing that, in a sleep deprived state, you deleted a bunch of files you shouldn't have. It totally seemed like a good idea last night/this morning!

Yikes, sorry to hear that, Ryan. And Opal, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Very.
Misery is being stuck away from your modding computer for a week.
Misery is knowing that when you get back, you STILL can't use it because the graphics card is shot and you have to shell out $200 or so for a new one.
Misery is living with your uberconservative aunt and uncle who think all fantasy games are a "gateway to the occult" and 90% of the movies on this site are even worse. I spend a LOT of time online late at night after they're in bed. Also the reason I came home for a week.
Misery is realizing that no matter how sincere I am about loving and serving my God, who saved my life and on whom I depend for daily survival, a significant percentage of my fellow Christians would condemn me based on my media input.

Oof, I had to deal with that when I was living with a family friend for awhile. I hate that.
I don't believe in the Bible personally but fight the good fight. No religion should be characterized by it's more colorful members.

Weird that they'd try to hold you to that standard when you're not even a Christian.  I'm getting more and more frustrated with my own denomination and others' views of gaming in general and fantasy in particular. These are the people who think Satanism and Wicca and "the occult" are the big threat instead of the vastly greater number of people who are nonreligious or actively antireligious or just apathetic - it saddens and sickens me. |

Remember though, for every moron out there who thinks Harry Potter trains kids to be Satanists, there are normal, good Christians who keep the faith without any of the garbage. At the end of the day it's all about believing in your God.
I just found out I've been Buddhist ever since I went "on vacation." I follow the four and eight and I didn't even know it. Good thing I'm Agnostic.

You know spider, I have yet to find a commandment in the bible that says "thou shalt not play fantasy games". All that matters is that YOU believe in god and have faith in god. You know that god saved you and you know that god will love you regardless of ANYTHING that people may want to say about you. If bible-thumping folk are willing to condemn you for enjoying fantasy games, then they are not worth knowing. I think that their glass houses are FAR too dirty for them to be throwing stones like THAT around.

. . .the vastly greater number of people who are nonreligious or actively antireligious or just apathetic. . . Yeah, but the trouble with talking to those people is that one runs the very real risk of having to engage in intelligent dialogue and invest time and stuff. Whereas, in your case, if I were of a mind to, I could just say something like, "Oh, you like Diablo do you? Well, I guess you'll be playing a really interactive version someday!" Then I would drop a smoke bomb and flee. The whole process takes not more than three seconds, and is good for at least 500 Pious Points. Whoo-hoo! Money in the bank, baby! I'm gonna beat the high score! |

Oh, man, those chick tracts. I think "Holy Joe" scarred me for life when I was ten.  I like the anti-Catholic one with the holy wafer and skull and crossbones on the front - titled "The Death Cookie." I prefer to think of it as "Pirates of the Vatican." (Offense intended to the tract, not to any Catholics!  ) I suspect a game that was really evil would involve more actual titillation and less math and weirdly-shaped dice, among other things... |
