What's on your mind?

[somebodysangel_88]

I'm so sorry to hear this! She'll be in my prayers for sure, as well as her family and friends.

Thanks so much Multi <3 ! I appreciate it

At times like that I tend to worry that I hurt people and they'll be mad at me and won't want to talk to me anymore

I can understand that. But you don't have to worry in my case. I mean, you of all people would REALLY have to try hard to hurt me so much that I would see fit to disown you as a friend.

Well, I was able to save some of the Photobucket ones by posting the images in a draft on CF and saving them from there. But there are still seven more that had this "Proudly hosted on Photobucket" banner in front of them. Maybe I'll try again later.

Yeah, those banners can be annoying. Maybe you can crop them out from the images?

 

[Multifavs]

I'm probably gonna get banned for this but I'm going to leak @Multifavs ' baby pictures of her on the bear skin rug.

Haha, that's adorable.

They are, lol. They're covering up part of the images so I can't crop them. But I'll see if they work better later.

At least they're being proudly hosted. I guess the banner can't be all bad, right? Btw, here's a selfie I uploaded on Photobucket of myself skydiving the other day.

Oh.....nevermind!

 

[SarahsKnight]

Oh.....nevermind!

I don't know why but for some reason I like the tantrum-throwing CF mascot there.

A couple of years ago I remember posting in a thread dedicated to books about my having a finished a very well-written and fascinating fantasy book called Seraphina, written by one Rachel Hartman. I was please to find how sympathetic the plight of this book's heroine, written in first person, was in a world conditioned to treat those of her "kind" - being the product of human and dragon procreation - very cruelly, and there was scarcely any friend she had to turn to and thus not feel obligated to hide the traces of silver scales in various locales of her human-like body from.

I have finally gotten around to the sequel, Shadow Scale, in which having recently acquired the friendship and support of the kingdom's young queen just thrust into her position of authority and the prince she is betrothed to, Seraphina is admonished by given their blessing to venture out into the other kingdoms of the world and acquire the alliance of the few (less than twenty in all, I believe) other half-dragon creatures like herself, called "ityasaari", who exist out there. Seraphina does so for reasons both political and personal, and she faces many inward and outward struggles in the so-doing, trying to find the others of her peculiar and lonely species and acquire a bond with them. It's very fascinating and thought-provoking about the lingering evils and curses of ignorant prejudices (especially when evoked in the name of a patron god and/or forces of Light - sound familiar, fellow believers in Christ? How you represent the Light you claim to believe in and serve?) and centuries-held grudges, that plunge not just an entire continent but most of all the mind and heart of a single girl into chaos.

I highly recommend it, for those lovers of the fantasy genre that actually might find intrigue a world that is not so much focused on a physical battle to save humankind or the planet and cosmos as the literary characters know it (as is the most typical kind of plot for books of the genre), as it is on the journey to self-acceptance and a personal faith of just a few particular creatures, most of all the titular heroine Seraphina.

This year seemed to go by really fast. The end of this year was much better then last year. I lost my grandmother and it’s already been over a year and I still miss her, wish she was still around. But I know I’ll see her again someday. Next year will be even better, since every day I know I’m getting closer to achieving my goals.

 

[Multifavs]

This year indeed went by fast. For me, this year had good points and bad points, just like last year. I hope and pray that next year will be better for all of us.

I don't think I got very far with my goals for 2018, but at least I tried and can keep trying. I have new goals for 2019 which will hopefully make me a better person. There are two things I've discovered that I need to work on:

-I focus too much on the bad in people and not enough on the good. I want to change that.

-I need more to distract myself with. Distracting myself from things that upset me makes me happier and keeps me from dwelling on them. (I am not looking to escape from reality or something, I just want to spend less time dwelling on negative things.) Even though I have a lot of hobbies, I have little motivation and/or inspiration to do most of them recently, it seems. And often even when I do one of my hobbies, it doesn't distract me much and I'm still thinking about unhappy things part of the time. But I want to be more positive.

 

[Rigatoni]

2018 went by fast for me as well. Honestly, it was a tough year to get through, and was the worse year I've ever had: ended up in the hospital in January, had countless financial setbacks that came out of nowhere, lost two pets, and had all kinds of evil take place in my neighborhood on a daily basis, just to name a few things that happened.

However, God was faithful, and was with me every step of the way. He provided for me when needed, gave my family and I a decent Christmas, and did answer prayer regarding some things occurring in the area. Fellowship with my friends in Christ also helped, and was a major blessing. Overall though, looking forward to saying goodbye to 2018.

Hello, this is MrMoe from the future year 2019, with a dire message. The kardashians have enslaved humanity.

We don't know who struck first, us or the Kardashians, but we do know that it was us who scorched the sky.

At the time they were dependant on satellites to broadcast their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source. Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony. The human brain generates more bio-electricity than an AA battery. Combined with a form of fusion, the Kardashians have found all the energy they would ever need.

What is Keeping Up With The Kardashians? Control. Keeping Up With The Kardashians is a money generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this:

There is a prophecy that fortells of "The One" who will unplug the enslaved humans and finally end Keeping Up With The Kardashians. If you know who they are please P.M me......................... Oh, and Anthony7 and Multifavs are married, in this timeline at least.

Spoiler

Happy New Year!

Hello, this is MrMoe from the future year 2019, with a dire message. The kardashians have enslaved humanity.

Apart from the one bit of good news at the end of your message (although the two of them will probably object to that), 2019 sounds terrifying. Here's hoping that we end up in a different reality.

Happy New Year, everyone!

 

[MehGuy]

Why did God give the Australians foresight into the future? It's just not right.. lol.

If I could get some prays. G dad died suddenly after christmas, for now we are Waiting for the post mortem which the earliest would be the 14th.

I didn't realise that when you love someone you actually feel their pain. Love is the greatest thing

 

[SarahsKnight]

If I may assert a pun I just found on FB, that truly speaks to me.

I suppose that would be a very good indication of love, regardless of the nature, Fire Girl. If you suffer when they suffer in any way. Will pray for you and those who also loved your grandfather.
