I'm going to Canada as soon as I get settled here.  it's just a ferry ride for me!

frog?  I like frogs.  I would get a pet frog if I wasn't worried my cat would eat it.

Yay for brain-like-goo-puddles!

Cookies!

thanks, sweetie.  *snuggle*

Xeph, it's because you are centrally located.  At least, you can keep telling yourself that.

Christian Mythology, the stories that Xeph is talking about, were slowly created and refined orally by Judaism cultures, like any other mythlology set.  The religion fairy tales, it very much depends on the story itself.  Many were created by the church and then propogated to help Christianity dominated, but some are old "paganistic" fairy stories twisted into something that won't get the storyteller arrested for being a heretic.  And still some, the "younger ones" are truly created by the masses.

A similar evolution can be found in the fairy stories that everyone knows.  In the original oral stories, the girls portrayed as getting into trouble (the red riding hood archetype) either save themselves through their own clever minds, or they die.  However, the brothers Grimm and Perrault, when they moved the stories from oral to written, changed things, because they did not believe little girls of the noble class should hear such horrid things.  Grimm just edited them slightly, but Perrault practically outright killed them.  Hence, fairy stories that we all know and love show the female heroines fainting and calling for help alot.  And being rescued by big strong men whom they must immediately marry.

*steals Ashley's cookie*

I used to be from WI, and I really needed a cookie.

I like frappr.  It's a good idea.

Ashley and I have sworn vows to be old like that and to be a team about it.  The world has been warned.

how far away from my monitor?  I can't make it work....

Maybe it's cuz I'm blind?

(note: thefemnazi is not really blind....but she is close to it)

Yes, the Bat would have been safe.  Mostly because Indy would be running from a very lame title called Temple of Doom.

I am here to state that I have never watched anything with Battlestar in the title.  Although, for the right friend, I would sit down for a marathon.  After all, it doesn't take much for me to get completely addicted to a good show.

I pick the unpretentious guy.  And Indy would lose his gun in the process of dropping past the angels.

Alrighty, for those of you who haven't heard of eye candy 69 and smut 69, they are prompt sites for fan art and and fanfic, respectively.

I want me some fanart of my totally whacked-out HP ship, Tonks and Hagrid.  I am willing to exchange for fanfic of the pairing of your choice.

While I completely understand that most of you can probably write your own fanfics, I cannot draw stick people to save my life.  So I'm selling it like this.  Mutal exchange of happies, each person gets 69 presents of creative just for them, and the creator gets someone that enjoys what they have created.

Any takers?

I'm still distraught over the death of Mr. Rogers.  Both in the literal and the animated sense.

Right.  Ok.  More proof, not that I needed any, that evolution has started working in reverse.

I love fairy stories.  But I love them in their original states, before the patriachs screwed them up and made all the girls wusses that had to be saved by idiots carrying axes.

I have a great collection of modern fairy stories called "Don't Bet On The Prince."  Good stuff for the feminists amoung us.  Grimm's Grimmest is also great, and pretty close to the original versions of the German tales.

Did Mr. Rogers just commit seppeku?  And I'm a little disappointed in myself at immediately recognizing Cowboy Curtis.  I need to stop watching videos with my brother.

But, in all, that majorly please my ADD.  Now I have to sing myself to sleep with a combo of the two songs.
