I thought you were going to say " I keep a journal, but when I go back to look at it, all it says is 'hoff hoff hoffity hoff'"
Your spin on it is more of a downer. I'd read your blog, Cherry.

I actually do have a blog. It started out as "I'll tell amusing stories from my life" a la Hyperbole and a Half, but then I... sort of ran out of blog-worthy stories. There are a few left, but I didn't feel like telling them.
Link
I've considered using Tumblr as a platform. On one hand you're more likely to get readers (since it's widely-used and it's easier to follow blogs and get automatic updates... I think, I don't use it), but on the other hand... blech, I don't really like Tumblr. Too much self-absorption. And penises. Lots of penises.
It's just that making a blog kind of says "What I have to say is important and you will like it" but I don't really know that. I can't guarantee what I have to say will be interested in anyone. But then I've been looking at blogs lately ( VintageVirgin, Smart, Pretty, and Awkward, Avoiding a Quarter-Life Crisis) and it just looks so FUN and I want to do it...

That's... well, that's very much the internet, isn't it.

Yes, it is, but there are some places where you're relatively safe from penises. I can log onto Menewsha on any given day, and although I have banninated and cleaned up after porn trolls before, I can still say "I will most likely not witness any penises today." I can sign on facebook, and given that I don't have gross and tacky friends say "I will most likely not witness any penises today." I can browse blogs and not see penises. Every time I browse around Tumblr I come across penises. Plural. I don't even know how. It's just... funny picture, funny picture, gif, PENIS, funny picture.

True enough. I suppose I mean if we were to look at a wide swath of the internet, self-absorption and peni (is the the formal plural? It should be) would be very much on display.

Oh, of course.
Yeah, self-absorption is the key thing here. When you look at other people, the line is clear as day, but it's not so easy to see for yourself. I don't completely know where the line between "what people want to hear" and "oh my god, get over yourself, no one cares" lies. I mean, there are obvious things, where things like "I have cancer" lie on what people would want to know, and "I just took a shit" lie firmly on the "shut up" side. I mean... I guess unless you had some kind of extreme deformation of your bowels and after extensive surgery, healing, colostomy bags, and pain you were finally able to go by yourself... but even then. :lol:

The plural of penis is penes. Though, penises is accepted too.

Flink thought it'd be penii, since that makes sense... But that's not accepted as the plural. D:
Though, Flink also thinks the plural of Jesus should be Jesii. Then she could have a bunch of plastic Jesii in her room. >.>

Flink's only excuse is that she's a Spelling and Grammar Nazi. So she looked up the plural so she could actually know when she realized she had no idea what the actual plural of it was. D:

HOLY SHEETCAKE! You believe that it should be Jesii too!?! :squee:
That's hilarious, because I say that all the time! :P
And I'm a spelling/grammar Nazi too, but I make up my own plurals to suit the mood... Such as octopussies!

The "I like to think of myself as a one man wolf pack" one is my favorite. I imagine someone who wears the Three Wolf Moon Shirt would search that. xD

I also found one which likes to think of Jesus as eagle wings. The figure skater one cracks me up though. A million little Jesii in skating tutus.
I love the spider field guide! I saw that in someone else's signature. I didn't know you came up with that! It's brilliant.
Yes! The Three Wolf Moon Shirt! Exactly! They use their shirt to transform.

I do. I think it's hilarious. You would hate to live in Florida. They get pretty big. They freak my cats out. My Mom just scoops them up and places them outside. She's brave.
Oh, Sunday school. My Mom was fairly religious, so I didn't experience quite that awkwardness, but I remember we got snacks and stuff. But yes, explaining Jesus died for your sins is pretty weird. I think I was cool with it though? It was a while ago. Of course, now I'm a full-blown agnostic.
Oh! And I went to Christian camp. They gave us free stuff during the Christmas break camp, so that was cool. And we watched LOADS of Veggie Tales. It wasn't my favorite show though. I'm not sure what was though. I think it was Wishbone.

fairy - Oh gross. :gonk: The spiders here are fairly small, except the brown recluses and this other type of spider that looks like them but is harmless. I don't quite know the difference, so I just kill it and then try not to cry/combust.
Yeah, I'm atheist now. What's even funnier about it was I was teaching a sunday school class while being completely and totally atheist. :lol: I'll get to that tale one day.
WISHBONE WAS AWESOME.

Damn, Wishbone was pretty great. :lol:
I was forced to go to a Christian camp when I was... 13? I forget.
But nevertheless, I didn't know it was a Christian camp until the minute my mom sped away. :ninja: The counselors immediately said, "I don't know about you guys, but here we believe in God." And these counselors were primarily sixteen to twenty years old, mind you. And I remember overhearing this conversation between two of them about some kid that was apparently "saved". His grandmother had been Muslim, but he was saved. Pah. I fucking hate religious intolerance, especially when it's enforced in another religion. Fuckers. :illgetu:
OH, and we had that terrible Vespers crap at night. Basically it's Evangelist church at night. You sing Jesii songs and pretend to care. And they were all terrible at singing.
The only silver lining was this family of Amish people that lived literally right next door. I was so excited to see them playing kickball on one of our baseball fields. It was a sign of outside life! Made me feel less engulfed by the crazies.
----------
And I'm agnostic too. :P I generally say I'm spiritually agnostic though, since I was raised in a loose spiritual environment and I loosely believe in a few little trivialities... Such as past lives, reincarnations, etc. Things that technically belong to certain religions, but altogether appear more like a hodgepodge than any sensical system of beliefs. :lol:
