Sometimes I wonder what a normal conversation with people is like.
Mom: You need to go back and put on your application that you can start work tomorrow! Why did you put Saturday?!
Me: Because we have PLANS the rest of this week, Mom, or did you forget that I’ve already cancelled and rescheduled the stuff I have planned /twice/?
Mom: WELL YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT. You can reschedule again! *yelling*
Me: The application’s already sent in; I can’t change it. Just like I can’t make the people at Financial Aid pick up the phone when I call. End of. I’ll cancel my plans indefinitely if the manager needs me to work earlier than Saturday but that’s what I put on the application. See you when you get off work. *As patiently as I can.*

Crazy, wild, generally kindhearted but don’t piss her off, perpetually single, why is she so obsessed with China?
Don’t sit near her in Potions…don’t put her next to Neville or Seamus in Potions…don’t let her near any sharp objects…has a frequent visitor’s card for the Hospital Wing…likes to think any animal is lovable, like Hagrid…Hufflepuff Extraordinaire! Also, Mad Badger Woman. Slightly insane but in all of the best ways.

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.
/An atheist who understands Christian theology better than Bible-thumpers do.

boom
whoa.
ezraquinncredible asked: Every other multiple of 3. (Just to make you think and do math; mwahahaha!)
6) I sleep half with clothes on, half without. Sometimes, if it’s balls hot outside, I sleep in the nuddy-pants. Usually, though, I sleep in a t-shirt and boxer-type things or boyshorts.
12) No, I haven’t. ACTUALLY, I have shoved Kleenex up it when I have nosebleeds…does that count?
18) I do believe in karma; it’s scary. O__o
24) I have several collections!! Coins, knicknacks from foreign countries, autographs (my pride is my David Tennant and Catherine Tate one ^_^), Beanie Babies, postcards, and BOOOOOOKS
30) When I stick my right arm out, I touch air. When I stretch my left arm out, I hit my uncle’s medicine bottle on the coffee table thingy
36) Art is the magical thing that happens when someone looks at a mass of color or shapes or lines or anything that exists and thinks in their mind “Hey, this is beautiful. And interesting. And it’s made a mark on my mind.”
42) Yes. Sometimes. But not when I have a headache. I don’t purposefully go out and sniff gasoline. If I happen to smell it, it doesn’t bother me.
48) My sexual orientation is that I prefer romantic and sexual relations with men, but I’m not opposed to dating a woman.
54) The last thing I purchased was a cupcake from the bakery.
60) My tongue is pink and is within ten feet of me, and my mom’s shorts have pink on them, and she’s standing nearby.
66) Irish, Cherokee, and Dutch.
72) I would probably tell everyone I was going to die, and I don’t know how I’d spend my remaining days. Probably trying to meet/contact Ben Barnes/JK Rowling and re-reading all of my favorite books and trying anything I want to do. I’d be absolutely terrified.
78) It can. But it’s not healthy. It’s better to be mentally stable than to have lost your mind.
84) Oh, Lawdy, I have a lot. I cant’ think of any right off the bat…
90) I would scream, and once I realized they weren’t doing anything, start the remote control stereo, play some cheesy 80s song, and dance like an Egyptian with mummies as my backup. Or put on Thriller and make the world’s best music video.
96) No, no relatives are incarcerated at the present. But I am related to several ex-cons…
