I had a dream last night I was sailing on a a sea as flat and calm as glass. I had a cold beer in my hand, and I was just letting the gentle wind push me around aimlessly. I woke up, thinking I was late to work, then I saw it was just 2 AM. I went back to sleep, and back on my boat I was like "thank goodness I don't have to get out of bed yet".

Grats MyTie.
Also, since repeat songs came up, I used
this
while farming lockboxes for Ravenholdt honoured to exalted twice (second time for cash).
Edit:
Since sleeping off my cold worked yesterday, what should my order of activities be today?
Laundry
Reading
Results section of essay due in next week
Will decide/take suggestions after exercise. I could possibly fit all three activities in today (ideally also get some grocery shopping in). If I don't get them done today I'll probably get them done over the weekend at the latest.

You're just species...ist. You're horrible.
PHYLUMISM. (imo)
>8<
But seriously, aren't we the same phylum as rabbits?
As far as the rabbit using the force goes, you have to remember that other than humans, no real-world species exist in Star Wars. I think, based on how spread out the universe is and how many planets there are in Star Wars, it's much weirder that so many aliens are so human looking than it is when a non-humanoid intelligent species comes around. Honestly, isn't it more unlikely that dozens of other species evolved on different planets and the only difference between them and humans is that they have blue or greed skin, or no hair and a penchant for tattoos, or a couple of little nubby spikes on their heads? IMO there should be more non-humanoid intelligents and that would include Jedi.
After all Mass Effect has the Hanar and the Elcor. In Dune, the navigators look like
this
. In Farscape the ship was semi-intelligent and organic. I think it's much more realistic when a sci-fi setting makes intelligent species that aren't just humans with some crap on their heads.
But if we really want to see a stretch of the star wars setting:
Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
I kid you not there is a witch that turns into a crow with a magic ring.

Goood morning everyone.
/sigh
This SWTOR download is getting on my nerves. Started downloading it this monday at 1 PM. As of today at 9:30 am, it has downloaded 9 Gb.
the total game weights 27.
/sighs
Why can't I download the frikking installer, and THEN install the game from there? nooooo I gotta download the whole she-bang with no option to then save the installer and spare me this liver-kick later. If I wanna re-install this at some future point, I will have to re-download it ALL OVER AGAIN. T_T at the staggeringly slow speed of 90 kb/sec

I was raised christian by my parents, but wasn't really devout or anything. I pretty much went to church cuz my parents took me there each sunday, and wasn't a very religious person.
After my time in Sabaneta, that changed. When I say that place was a hell-hole I'm not speaking metaphorically. It was there that I tasted what desperation TRULY feels like, but then a group of missionaries often visited the jail to bring food to the prisoners and preach to them, one of them was Reina =D most lovely sight of awesome I've ever seen.
She's the reason I TRULY found Christianity, which was the only light I had in that pit of darkness. The one hope nobody could take away from me. Eventually I was allowed to serve the rest of my time under house arrest due to good behavior, and when I served my time completely, I seeked Reina out, and we got married a few years later =D (See? even the underdog can have a happy ending ^_^)
To this day I'm a devout christian, go to church each sunday, and pray every single night. And from time to time I also read the bible.
Why do you ask?

95% of the christian population here does none of those things, yet consider themselves christians. Born and raised.
Is there like, a line that you have to get to to be a "good" christian? It's strange.

Christianity (and religion in general) is more than just mindless rituals and procedures. The true core of a religion is Faith.
To be a proper christian you must believe (And I mean TRULY BELIEVE, not just tell yourself a lie every day) in God and Jesus. And put that belief into practice. Everything else is optional (Though doing it can't hurt)
I say this because doing the exact oposite WILL NOT make you a Christian. If you pray every day, if you read the bible to the point you can recite it from memory, if you go to the church so often you practically LIVE there, yet deep inside you don't actually believe anything of what you are doing and secretly thing its all BS, you are not really a christian. This also applies to every other religion. Faith is the core, everything else is just crust.
keep the core strong, and the rest just clicks into place.
This is why I consider any "religion" that DEMANDS money out of their believers to be nothing more than a cult. Redemption isn't something that should be bought and sold, and anyone who believes otherwise, is more a merchant than a preacher.
If out of the kindness of your heart you wish to donate a small amount to contribute to the cause, that's commendable and all that, but if the religious leaders of your faith actually say "you can't achieve salvation if you don't pay us X amount of money" then yeah, I have a problem with that.

Yep. People go all "no true Scotsman" on me every time I explain it. But, this isn't some sort of ethereal thing, or personal thing. Christian isn't a self defined religion. It has a book that explains what you have to do. When someone asked Christ what he had to do to follow him, Christ didn't say "whatever you feel is meaningful to you", but instead taught people very specific things to do. I think the two biggest deceptions about Christianity is when people teach stuff that is definitely not part of Christianity (Catholics) and people teach less than what is taught in Christianity (what I was talking about in the rest of this post).
