It allows us to live by a set of basic moral beliefs... like others have said. It allows for art and expression, it has influenced architecture, governments, migrations to other continents, and etc.. so Religion is pretty defining. The literature is what I like, although I don't agree with a lot of what people translate that literature into.. the bible was for a time one of my favorite things to read.
Heh.. when I turned 21 oh so long ago... they didn't give me a count down like they normally did.. they just said.. "Ready" and I was like, "yeah..." then before I knew it I was blinded by the flash..
Luckily my ditzy self always has some sort of smile on my face, so I wasn't completely lost.. I would've hated to carry that sucker around if it did turn out bad..
Its a trust issue really, but I think it would be safer to do it via phone than internet, more anonymous that way if you know the person "in real life" from the beginning. But doing that sort of thing with someone from the internet I would think is what raises all the red flags, because it is more personal, traceable and all that..
I won't be sending naked photos anywhere though.. lol... but I have trust issues, its just too easy to push the send button
Thanksgiving has always felt like the time to sum up a year and recap it a bit.. SO, with Steve's question: "What are you personally thankful for this year?" People can answer it if they want to.
Personally this year I am thankful that I finally graduated from Uni with my degree... although I've not really liked the whole "working girl" thing.. lol, at least the pay check is ok.
The whole second book is about tension and the brooding people do after someone important to us leaves... so yeah, it was meant to be slow and miserable for Bella, I guess the director wanted the audience to feel that too.. I've not watched the movie though.. lol, but I want to..
