    I can't believe i've lived this long!!!!!

    I'm only 21 and I can pass for 16 some days... It's annoying I was trying to buy rum this time (for Christmas rum balls) and they wouldn't let me even show ID they just chucked me out - considering the legal age for drinking here is 18 that's pretty bad!! I can't wait to look my age!! and Mina...

    Pilgrim's Progress Poll

    Indifferent - something you should read kind of like to kill a mockingbird, but not actually as enjoyable as to kill a mockingbird. I prefer Holy War myself although that isn't as popular.

    Death to tanning beds. -_- Pale skin is just as pretty?

    I'm quite dark naturally and you know how everyone thinks people with dark skin don't burn easily?? I'm the exception to that rule! I burn if I even think about going into the sun! I don't want to do damage to my skin so I'm quite careful these days. However people shouldn't avoid the sun! It's...

    Modesty

    I do agree - modesty is one of my big things.... However I think modesty is an attitude of the heart more then about what we wear, in saying that I am still careful about what I wear but would never wear a headscarf actually thats not true I do occasionally wear head scarves but thats a fashion...

    The best book

    Oh I loved the circle!! They were fantastic I read at a rather disgusting rate I run out of books so quickly! I did enjoy the hobbit but I found that I did have to persevere through the first bit but I did enjoy it in the end. Has anyone read the count of monte cristo? It's massive and...

    Harry Potter nonsense

    I don't think that Harry Potter is evil in any sense of the word - I think a book is simply that a book and cannot be called evil in it's own right........ As to the whole 'what are we letting our children read' thing well first of all stop..... look - your children are reading!!! that is a good...

    The best book

    What in your opinion is the best novel you've ever read (noting the word novel) I'll start..... Blessed Child by Bill Bright and Ted Dekker I'm kinda looking for suggestions that too would be appreciated - I like a vaguely intelligent read.

    The purity ring

    I don't know whether there's pressure or not because this is my decision I've never felt any. Which I guess is the point :). The other thing is that I know that no matter what my parents would support me and do there best to help me out. I think it becomes a huge problem when teenagers start to...

    The purity ring

    Mine was private - my parents gave me the ring after they knew I had made the decision for myself anyway. They wanted to give it to me as a sign of support and encouragement. I think that kid's are often pressured into it and that can make it a really negative thing. However for myself it's been...

    Guys meet my best friend and loose interest in me.....y???

    Would like to say this used to happen to me all the time!!! and to make it worse I'd end up with all her left overs as well because we looked heaps alike once she dumped them or just said no they would try and ask me for a date!! (A tip guys: it's reasonably unflattering to be asked out on the...

    This isn't huge or anything but I thought I'd ask - We have conference at my church this Weekend - Friday Saturday and Sunday it's statewide and I'm supposed to be singing at it for the three meetings Friday one meeting Saturday and two Sunday - and I've lost my voice - I have a cold but no...

    Do you ever think you'll be single for life?

    Occasionally thing is I don't particularly care! I figure if it's supposed to happen it will and if it isn't it won't - I probably will care given a few years when I get all lonely or something I dunno but right now it's all in God's hands and whatever he decides is cool!

    The purity ring

    I wear a purity ring my parents gave it to me for my 20th - we actually call it a promise ring but it is exactly the same thing.... a promise of purity body, heart, mind and spirit. I do wear it on my ring finger and actually appreciate the fact that it puts some guys off to tell you the truth...

    Things you wish you could tell the opposite sex....

    oh this thread was a great read! Very educational and occasionally hilarious! If your interested just ask - I'm never offended with a guy asking for a date. I'm also so sick of guys asking me out and when I decline (politely) accusing me of 'leading them on' it is possible that you...

    How much is too much?

    I don't think there's any line in the sand so to speak... I think it's important to give and give generously but I think it's something very personal... and it's about what God tells you to give and being willing to give. Maybe some people will think thats a cop out I don't know... but you...
