and boy does he hate losing

Poor Wil Bailey. After his initial season the writers put him on the down slope from what I've seen

Yeah

I liked him a lot in his first few episodes, but once Sorkin left.. well, the writing is on the wall

Post-sorkin gets rough, for me

Yes. mmm I forgot to get Lunch

you shoudl do that

I am rockin' this Easter lunch! Almost ready, like 20 m.

Yes. I shouldn't ST Hangry! "The trolls are in chains, the Freehold has been snuffed, and the childlings won't sit still. Grrr"

Ooo. Sounds good to EBG....

ha

mmm, easter tea

*Nod* Sandwiches done, asparagus puff pastries w/swiss done, shepherd's pies are warming, cookies & s'more tarts done, cheesecakes.... bought. Strawberries.... washed and plated.

*Wry* The only thing not-done was the thing I asked DH to do on his own. So. No scones.

aw

Not sure if that counts as a tea. But, it will still taste good.

Sigh I'm such a bad person

?

I can't get this image out of my head of Christ appearing before me, wielding a flaming sword on a glowing stallion going "Onward to Salvation!" and then Jesus winking at me going "Just pulling your leg, dude. April's Fools and Happy Easter!"

And then he vanishes.

Not cool, Jesus, not cool.

So... I'm pretty sure my sense of humor is going to get me in trouble after I die.

ha!

Come to the pagan side. We have guilt-free cookies.

And instead of being a terrible Christian I could be terrible pagan:)

Yes, but in paganism, nobody's keeping score.

"Do you love your neighbor?" "Not that much, and some folks I'm not sure I'll ever be able to forgive." // (Later after converting) "Ready to raid Ireland?" "Nah, think I'll catch up on West wing" "Thor frowns on a slacker" "Whatever"

I should be good and go buy dance socks

Ha!

And tech week snacks

G And some of my best friends and finest folks I know are pagans. But I've seen their politics Big and small come up. 🙂 Debates on whether you can follow a set of Gods not in your heritage or if it's cultural appropriation. How to properly pronounce this or that deity . Wiccan vs non wiccan disagreements. Debates and arguments on what the pagan virtues are. I listen and am amused at how lively it gets. The Main religions are even more so mind you, but still. 🙂

Oh, pagan fights can get NASTY

I tried being pagan for a while, didn't stick

so I'm a lazy lutheran with universalist leanings

It's true...pagan politics can get really really bad. Terence reports for The Wild Hunt, and he's been covering a court case about a coven with a lot of he-said she-said accusations, but nobody's providing any real EVIDENCE.

But the thing is, being a solitary, I have as much obligation to practice as I want or don't want, and still maintain a firm hold on my spirituality. shrug Works for me. Not saying I'm the best pagan, but I don't feel like I need to be, either.

Most pagan thing I probably do is Eastern Star, ironically

Fair enough, and if I were Pagan I'd definitely be a solitary myself. I'm not social in a 'go into the crowds a lot' way

13 women, in white, big star on the floor, a cup, a sword, a shaft of wheat...

Gardnerian field day

My best friend follows Cherokee paths and traditions.. and given the study she's put into it, it's not just a 'hollywood Indian' thing

Seriously. Oh, those Garnerians.

I do love mythologies. 🙂 Dieties of various cultures are just neat. So many great tales in Greek and Norse

Oh, when I found the big blue buckland in HS it was the MOST AMAZING THING

Cat, I forget, have you ever been to the battlefield to see the Women in White thing? That gets intense.

I have not. Maybe this year?

Okay, if I may ask, Women in White? Pardon my ignorance

Terence is a Hellenic reconstructionist, so he gets to enjoy all those old Greek stories as part of his faith.

Don't want to be disrespectful since I'm fuzzily protestant

I did perform a handfasting once? They're still married, fwiw
