When I had my appendix out, they wouldn't even let me see it.

When this kid get a new heart, he gets to play with the old one.

Well, it's an unusual day when I don't chat to

mab and

rainstorm. I catch up with

dapperscavenger one day in two, and

tisme on a fairly constant basis (even if she's only on the other side of the room).

3 LJ users you've talked to on the phone:
I don't use the phone much, but

purelyskindeep and I call to arrange things.

tisme at least twice a day, if not 6 times.

Definitely voting Lib Dem

Lib Dems will slash ministries says this article. They want to implement fairly radical decentralisation, but back on the bureaucracy and make local government more central to local decisions.

519 arguments for God

The List of Arguments

10. ARGUMENT FROM CREATION

(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God
exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to
understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be
uncomfortable
(3) Therefore, God exists.

11. ARGUMENT FROM FEAR

(1) If there is no God then we're all going to die.
(2) Therefore, God exists.

13. ARGUMENT FROM INTELLIGENCE
(1) Look, there's really no point in me trying to explain the whole
thing to you stupid atheists -- it's too complicated for you to
understand. God exists whether you like it or not.
(2) Therefore, God exists.

17. PARENTAL ARGUMENT

(1) My mommy and daddy told me that God exists.
(2) Therefore, God exists.

18. ARGUMENT FROM NUMBERS

(1) Millions and millions of people believe in God.
(2) They can't all be wrong, can they?
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Stolen from the ever spiffy

The cynical part of me wants to put up a poll regarding the news piece just below, so that people can then tick boxes marked "I'm sorry to hear that.", "If you need to talk you know where to find me.", "*hug*" and suchlike.

Thankfully, the more reasonable part of me knows that these words, while common and expected, are merely the conveyors of actual emotion.

And really, I do appreciate it.

Love Story

Warren Ellis pointed me towards this twisted little love story.

brrrrr

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

Back from dinner (was lovely - Khi/Bekka hadn't heard the news, so me and Erin didn't say anything and played nice all evening). Rather nice, and I must eat at Frankensteins again, if only for the desserts. The decor is fabulous, and the tv showing the original movie on loop was a nice touch.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. Love you all.

Night!
