Visgoth told me to complain about only having 15 user pics as a paid account user. A "technical" error cost me. They manually fixed the problem.

*EDIT*: I'm a special paid account user and the rest of you envy me and my ONE HUNDRED USER PICS. Somehow, [livejournal.com profile] stealthcomic knew to wait around for the special deal. [livejournal.com profile] hummingwolf has kindly pointed out the LJ announcement about it. Someone had to buy me a paid account within a certain time frame. Thank you fortuitious timing.

Fine LJ friends, envy me because I have....

ONE HUNDRED ICONS!!!!!

Now, on a completely Bendisian note...

A Bendisian conversation )

I need suggestions! I will create an icon for every anime and video game that I liked. I'll try to tie each one to a certain emotion. I'll go make some sports icons as well. Definitely need a TU for TU Cent Thoughts. I'll probably just steal one off the university site. I need Narnia icons. I need to find that icon that is the ass of a Democratic donkey and the head of a Republican elephant (in red, white, and blue election hues).

I need some help. Could someone make an icon for me? I want an icon that starts a bright yellow smiley face, transitions into a drab grey plainie face, then transitions into a mellow blue frownie face, then transitions back to plainie, then transitions back to smiley to complete a loop. You would be a true hero to D2 if you could complete that for me. Please?

[livejournal.com profile] wolflady26 and [livejournal.com profile] hummingwolf, I'm looking at you.

Any other suggestions for icons are welcome!

I am of the belief that you should not buy Christmas gifts for your closest friends. That's because your closest friendships transcend material goods.

Having said that, I believe in the first law of alchemy more, in the law of equivalent exchange. So I've been wanting to buy the Macross Saga portion of the Robotech novels for mysterious Phil. We were walking around Barnes and Nobles and we found them. I randomly decided to buy him the Robotech novels for Christmas. In exchange, he bought me C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity.

I admit I have recently become very interested in C.S. Lewis on the recommendation of angelic Jenny. I told her that I was having a crisis of faith and she pointed me out to the man who is considered to be the classic Christian apologetic. Someone once told me that I do not write like a true believer of Christ. He would be right. I am a doubting Thomas, I need to see the holes in Christ's hands and feet everyday to believe. After talking with several people, I have come to the conclusion that I am a heretic. I have faith, but it is not the traditional fundamental Christian faith. I am too dualistic for me to submit myself one hundred percent to the dogma of Christianity. Yet I know that there's something in Christianity that draws me in.

Then I look at my position in the BSU. I am seriously contemplating stepping down from the leadership team. It is inappropriate for a heretic to masquerade as a Bible study leader. Don't get me wrong, I still believe God. But there are too many things in the Baptist Faith&Message that I disagree with. I now realize the only reason I go to the Baptist church is because of Ralph and Jane, my American grandparents. As long as they walk this green earth, I owe it to them to attend a Baptist church. But to be honest, I'd rather follow the path of the friend that I've known the longest and go to the Episcopalian Church, a denomination that tries to understand other faiths rather than condemn them.

Then again, I agreed to be on the leadership team for one year. I would be going against my word to quit. Sigh, I suppose I am well loved heretic in the BSU. And my most basic philosophies still line up, as I will always be a social conservative and an economic liberal.

Note to self: Sleep inducing meds and driving do not mix.

Convo of the Day:
D2: So when are you going to work today, anime Mike?
Mike: Funny you should mention that.
D2: What?
Mike: I signed the form that said I didn't want to work at Wal Mart anymore.
D2: Sleep shifting get to ya?
Mike: Yeah. So neither you or Jameson win the over/under on one week, because I lasted exactly one week.
D2: Funny you should mention that.
Mike: What?
D2: I lied.
Mike: Huh?
D2: Jameson and I actually argued whether or not you would last even one week. He said less. I said the average person lasts at least one week. So I win.
Mike: Wait a minute...white mages aren't supposed to lie.
D2: Thief...I'm not your standard white mage.

Link of the Day:
What it means to be sempai. I have decided to view myself as the sempai of the BSU dojo. I am to challenge people in their faith, just as they will challenge me.

Guys tend to get irrational when their sports team is losing. We are strange creatures like that.

King Kong has been added to the queue of movies I should see over Christmas break. The others, in order:

1. Narnia
2. Rent
3. Harry Potter

Having the spiritual gift of discernment is like having perfect pitch. You see, a person who has perfect pitch cannot stand to listen to people play music incorrectly because it hurts them. Likewise, a person with the spiritual gift of discernment hates interacting with other people because they cannot stand to see other people behave incorrectly.

This is part of the reason why I am antisocial.

Do you think I am a heretic?
