There are mormons outside the US?=/.
Definitely no mormons in Romania. Not that many JWs either.

No, it's a branch of Christianity defined by the fact that they're past sinners. So, after 15-30-50 years of being sinners they turn back to Jesus to repent. We call them repenters:P. I'm very bad with religion and its branches, unfortunately >.<

Oh, and I had the loveliest time once when I was hitchhiking and a thoroughly devoted Christian guy picked me up. He started talking about God and then a storm started, with hale. It was such a strong storm that he couldn't see in front and the hale actually cracked his windshield,all this while he was preaching "SEE? God is giving us a sign right now. it is God's will that you are now in my car so i can show you the way and this storm is proof of it"

oh, and to be ontopic.
It really pisses me off, the way this apartment is placed. I always feel like I'm being watched and am paranoid about people coming into the house(i always double check to make sure the door is locked but I still have occasional nightmares about people coming in). Granted, I'm more paranoid than your average bear, but I actually have a reason to be >.<

Never ever had JW's. Actually, the only experience I ever had even slightly resembling this was when I was in Missouri in 2006. Two snazzily dressed young men approached me on the street at night and kind of indicated they wanted to talk about relegion. I very politely told them I was disinterested, and we continued chatting in a friendly way (after I had identified myself as German) about why I was there and so.

When it comes to playing pranks on people, I am an utter fail IRL. I can't even scream at telemarketers who wake me. #-o

A good friend of mine once got them at the door, though. He's one of my hardcore roleplayers, and very well versed in the background of my system, DSA. He commenced, for 30 fucking minutes, to tell them about the Pantheon of the Twelve which he worshipped... Pretending to be totally serious the whole time. =)) =)) =)) =))

And born-agains... Ughhhh. Now, my mom's sis and her husband are evangelical creationists... 8-| 8-| 8-| But a cousin of mine (daughter of the sis of my mom's mom, so she is also in her sixties) got born-again after her son died young (gay, alcoholic, reckless, AIDS). And once over the phone tried to convince me that I should let Jesus into my life... =; :ymbringiton:

When I get sales calls, I rub a piece of paper against the phone to make crackling sounds, and tell them I can't hear them due to bad reception and then hang up :ymdevil:

I didn't have time to get coffee before going to my internet cafe, so now I'm drowsy, uninterested in going to work*, and generally not quite myself.

Oh come now, we're not all bad. ;)

Anyways, right now Imma pissed about having to go to the school to sign up for some test or another, parking in the nearby neighborhood to avoid parking fees, and coming back to find a 47 dollar ticket from the street sweeper. Say bye-bye to one third of my bank account!
Start running.

Please?

The issue I have with born-agains is not that they've improved their life...it's the part where they think they can improve mine too.

*hugs SP* :ymhug:

Speaking of annoying sisters, mines meant to be showing up before lunchtime... like an hour ago... but she's not hear yet because she's decided to not set off yet... So we've basically ahd the kitten shut in all morning so it doesn't accidently escape when my sister arrives for nothing.... She really annoys me with her selfishness at times.

My turn.

*flops*

Tonight, I really wish I were a worse person. I wish I was the mean, terroristic, ignorant, brainless girl that so many around here tend to be. I wish I could scream and shout and be a general bitch.

The end.

Somewhere out there, there is someone who is happy because you are not that girl. And the day will come when you too feel again that it is better you are not.

Get rid of that god-damned ad just below the strip. The one where you shoot balls at other ones. It leads to a "You might win a Wii" **CONTEST** This SCAM has you answer 5 questions, then put in your cell phone number. You then get a message a day. EACH ONE COSTING TWO DOLLARS!

I absolutely detest these rigged promotions.
