I want no shrink. Homer is not my idol. I have no conscious idol. And if I get one, it won't be Homer Simpson. It'll be Bart. I dunno. When inspiration strikes. When this goddamn history project is done. When I want to write. When I CAN write. When homework allows me. When I have finished devouring the fics of everyone on this site. (Have finished KarotsaMused, working on D-Chan. ) These are highly unlikely to happen all at once for more than 30 seconds at once. If at all. Shame.

Well, there are school holidays soon, in about a few weeks. That's probably when we will all have bursts of inspiration and chapters will spout from our ears.

True. I have two months to write, write, write, read, read, read and do nothing. *sob* I hate to say it, but I need plot-bunnies!

*crosses fingers and prays to God, Allah, Buddha and Kanzeon that the printer will works* I hear it's not a good idea to pray to mutually exclusive deities. In Judaism, the word I prefer for referring to God in Hebrew is roughly "Yahweh" (meaning "I AM". I guess you just have to hear it, it has a lot of power in it. Then there's the connotation of that word being "too holy" to speak, which led to "Ha Shem", which literally means "The Name"). In English, because we're lazy, we just call God God. Allah is Arabic, and I feel shamed because I can't remember the seminar on Arabic where we went over this and the religious/cultural connotations, because Allah doesn't properly translate as just "God" if I remember correctly. Buddha isn't even a deity, and according to most sects of Buddhism that I'm aware of, deities don't really exist. Anyway... Kanzeon ... ... I blame my lack of things to say on my lazy World Religions teacher. I don't think I've ever even heard of this, though maybe I can't put together the word's written look and sound. *sob* I hate to say it, but I need plot-bunnies! No problem, I'd love to help - debating potential plot ideas is fun. I also haven't done it for a while because 1) I'm busy writing Crossing the Rubicon and 2) I've become modestly busy using my free time to rewrite/edit Life of the Silver Tear. Now should be better.

Heh...you took that so seriously!! -_-v Kanzeon is the Goddess of Mercy from Saiyuki. Explains your teacher's lacking on that point. And I knw Buddha isn't a deity.....I was just making a point.... @_@

Heh...you took that so seriously!! Heh heh. I saw an opportunity to say something educational and I guess that something takes over. It was fun, though.

heeheehee. Am a bubbhist here. As many people know because I yell at them for interrupting my 'meditiation' during Drama (like I did this morning). But it's more a way of life than praising a certain person.
All the reasons for the gods: e-d is Christian, or at least she was. We live in a muslim country. Second most prominent religion is Buddhism/Taoism. And finally... Kanzeon is cool!! hehehe

You people...giving logical reasons for my random comment!! @_@ I was just making a point! And it must have worked because my printer DID work in the end. Gods must have deserted you for me to make your comp freeze, b-d.

Well, I tend not to believe in Gods, but I follow Buddhism. As you well know. But I do enjoy the incense lighting. And though it's a bit shaming, funerals.
When we cremated my Mama (not mother, grandmother - different intonations), we had all this pomp and circumstance. That was my conversion prompting. We had three days of making and burning gold ingots, (and the coffin was right next to us)! We couldn't let the fire go out, and we sacrificed a paper house, bed, T.V, car and real driving licence, carridges, and Astro dish. It was enlightening, and I learnt all sorts of amazing things. Sadly, its probably not going to happen anymore. People nowadays want to be frozen, or buried, or if they do wish to be cremated, without all the meaniful ceremony. They just catch fire.

You burnt the real Astro thingy? Isn't that metal? It'd melt, and you need real high temperatures to do that. And why do you burn it anyway? I mean, no offence meant, but why burn an Astro dish??
Also: why would anyone want to be frozen? Are they doing that Austin Powers thing? Frozen in nitrogen-or-some-other-weird-substance? >.<
And why are we talking about religions and death and funerals? Look at the title. We're meant to be gossiping about the gorgeous Legolas. *sigh*

No, just the real driving licence. People are frozen because they wish to be regenerated if Science ever advances that far so they would 'live forever'. Legolas is not fave in everyones book, and we look so much more intellectual talking about deep stuff.

Oh okay. Was a bit...worried...about the Astro dish. >.< And it doesn't matter what people see you talking about. Everyone knows I'm a genius anyway. LOL!!! Such a shallow person, me. And he sure as hell is top in my book LotR-wise. And it's my area. Muahahaha. *ignores the fact that blood_debt started it* and it SAYS "Legolas lover"!!!
