Hero derp. I've finally decided on my fifth character. now to draw him up

T^T guess who just ripped the seat of her jeans.
Granted, they were five years old but... *sniffs* RIP favourite pair of pants.

*plays a Scottish funeral dirge on the bagpipes for Kami's lost pair of Jeans*

Oh Jeans, we shall miss thee!

So much more posting to do! So much more character-deciding to do!

Phew, finally got my schedule between the VFD, ROTC and college squared away. Sleep, I hardly knew ya.

Basically, a friend of a friend is helping me look for a lady. My friend relayed on to me that she isn't of my religion but is accepting. I'm a bit torn whether or not to meet her, but it would be nice to find someone.

I claim to be accepting, but I'm a bit put off of the idea of dating an atheist (though I have not heard as to what religion she is. For all I know, she's Jewish.) Is it considered bending my beliefs if I want a nice Christian relationship, but date someone that's not of my religion? I've only had one relationship in the past where we shared the same religion and it turned out to be my most successful one. Gah. So many unknowns.

If you don't feel comfortable that you both aren't the same religion, then don't. If you're willing to be open, then no, I don't think it's against your beliefs - personally. As I said, though, if it bothers you that you don't share the same beliefs, it might be something you want to reconsider.

I kind of disagree with Karena If it makes you uncomfortable to date outside of your beliefs, you should examine why, instead of just blanket-thinking "Oh, it makes me uncomfortable, ergo I shouldn't do." Things outside of a comfort box aren't necessarily bad for you, they're just outside of your comfort box.

Examine your concerns: are you worried that someone outside of your belief system will force you to participate in their's? Be uncomfortable in yours? Lead you down an unrighteous path? What is the difference between a good christian person and a good atheist person, other than God? If both of you are good people and strive to do right by your fellows, then surely, that relationship would be a wholesome one, even if they don't accompany you to church on sunday?

Why do you want a nice Christian relationship? That's another question you should ask yourself. A good, inter-faith (or faith/nonfaith) relationship is possible! My cousin just had a baby after a year with her husband — she is christian, and he is jewish! They are raising their son on both religious customs and celebrating what is the same, as opposed to arguing over what is different.

I think, personally, that you're putting too much emphasis on your faith when looking for a relationship. The IMPORTANT thing is that you click. If you get along and you could see yourself being with this person and they respect that your faith is important to you, I think that is more important than whether or not you believe in the same god in the same way.

I have to agree with Kami. I'm agnostic, but most of my exes have been Christian. I don't ever start a argument over it because we were both understanding. We looked at it, discussed why we believed the way we did, and that made it better for us. Understanding, and accepting someones beliefs will open up so many doors.

ME3 Retaliation is amazing. I am a biotic GOD! Fear me lesser creatures!

Can I say I"m excited for Kami's site?

Ahahahahaha, ARE YOU?? Have I shown you the WIP layout? ;x

Dear Uterus,
I hate you.

You have not, and I want to see it! I'm debating on how to set my eventual team up, maybe roleplay an actual play through on my DS.

Got work in an hour and I'm so tired!

For making signatures as often as I do, I'm still lacking one here.

I can't decde whether to change my name back to SeoJin. That way I can confuse everyone more! *joke*. It certainly feels like I'm playing her more than Korra. And that trend might continue.

EDIT: Had a sig. Decided I disliked it. Wasn't up to my artistic self-approval. Oh well. Hey, at least I have a new av for now. I'll go find a quote for a sig for now...

Karena, A Long Display Name Here, thanks for your input :3

Grrr. Where's my computer? Its supposed to be here soon... oh well. ME3 while I wait

@airi, I actually agree more with Karena than with Kami. It can be really difficult to be in an interfaith relationship, and if your faith is extremely important to you, then I don't think you are putting "too much" emphasis on it when looking for a relationship. Also, I know many atheists who won't date Christians because of serious disagreements with the worldview of Christianity. I think that's totally valid. I wouldn't want to date someone whose worldview was diametrically opposed to mine, and that's okay. Different people do relationships differently, and that's okay, too. If you don't feel comfortable, then don't do it. It's not wrong of you to choose to or want to date within your faith.

I can't believe I'm coming down with something the day before I leave to be matron of honour in a dear friend's wedding! Of all the rotten luck.

The only thing with that is, what happens if you fall in love with someone without prior knowledge of their views. Are you willing to completely throw that away just because they believe in a different god, or no god at all? I think if it's so different that you're going to argue over it then don't be with that person, but then again, that isn't love.

Just woke up, head is pounding, and I'm noticing little things like the way the picture frame tilts a little.

Tired. Much too tied. I could sleep all day.

I should be getting up my pie post sometime tonight. Until that post, anyone that wants to they can join the contest.

I've been using a lot of skills from my therapist lately. I'm hoping I might be able to get off my meds this November/December ^^

Rolled my ankle and got a new nickname tonight! Was I being a heroic fire fighter eschewing my own personal safety and running headlong into the fire to save the helpless lives of my fellow man? Well... Yeah, I was trying to do that, jumped out of the truck, hit the curb and rolled my ankle.
I like to think 'Doe' is an endearing nickname all the same regardless.
