Away: Q. What is corporate worship?
A. In corporate worship, we unite ourselves with others to acknowledge the holiness of God, to hear God's word, to offer prayer, and to celebrate the sacraments.

Away: Most of the women were of the kind vaguely called emancipated, and professed some protest against male supremacy. Yet these new women would always pay to a man the extravagant compliment which no ordinary woman ever pays to him, that of listening while he is talking.
G. K. Chesterton, in The Man Who Was Thursday

Away: Adoptionism is an error concerning Christ that first appeared in the second century. Those who held it denied the preexistence of Christ and, therefore, His deity. Adoptionists taught that Jesus was tested by God and after passing this test and upon His baptism, He was granted supernatural powers by God and adopted as the Son. As a reward for His great accomplishments and perfect character Jesus was raised from the dead and adopted into the Godhead.

Away: these stars are for you

Away: The bells they sound on Bredon,
And still the steeples hum.
"Come all to church, good people"-
Oh, noisy bells, be dumb;
I hear you, I will come.

Away: The love of those whom we do not know is I quite as eternal a sentiment as the love of those whom we do know. In our friends the richness of life is proved to us by what we have gained; in the faces in the street the richness of life is proved to us by a hint of what we have lost.

Away: downstairs

Away: Compunction derives from Late Latin compunctio, compunction- "sting or pricking of conscience," from the past participle of compungere, "to prick severely," from com-, intensive prefix +
pungere, "to prick."

Away: Eventually I was convinced that we ought to be tolerant of any sort of crime except unequal distribution of income. In organized society the question always arises at what point are we justified in killing for the good of the community. I should answer in this way. If you take two shillings as your share and another man wants two shillings and sixpence, kill him. Similarly, if a man accepts two shillings while you have two shillings and sixpence, kill him.

Away: What is "street money"? Mexican Proletariat? The Balance Rule? A Ward Boss? I thought I knew what a ward boss was, but obviously not, because that woulnd't be nearly important enough to put on a test.

Profile: "'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. 'And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor in earth.'" --C. S. Lewis, in Prince Caspian

I am a greedy pig

I am also the sort of person who keeps a poorly updated, self-centered online journal

I also think people want to read my old away messages

Away: As long as I pass this upcoming Immegrant Expirience test (it shoudn't be hard, as spelling doesn't count), I won't have to think about that clss ever again. I'll still have to go, mind you, but I won't have to pay attention.

Away: Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!

Away: Nutrigrain (feel great)

Away: i am the universal arbiter of avacado ripeness.

Away: Happy Vernal Equinox!

Away: The first half of [Michael Moore's new book] is very worthwhile, and will reaffirm your faith in the fact America is going to hell in a handbasket under the Republicans. The second half will reaffirm your faith in the fact America will go to hell in an even larger-sized container, maybe a stolen shopping cart, should the Democrats get in.

Away: Let's go now!

Away: labradorite or spectrolite?: two names, one scintillating specimen

Away: my life would be so much easier if i weren't so stupid.

Away: The bells they sound on Bredon,
And still the steeples hum.
"Come all to church, good people"-
Oh, noisy bells, be dumb;
I hear you, I will come.

Away: you know, technically, if I set the coordinate axes correctly, the universe does revolve around me.

Away: Being eaten by an alligator is just like falling asleep...in a giant blender

Away: Mr. Nezzer: Are you guys still doing that "pirate" thing?
Mr. Lunt: Argh! Watch your tongue, matey! Or we'll...what'll we do?
Larry: Nothing. We're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.
Mr. Lunt: Oh. Argh! You were lucky this time!

Away: "working"

Away: "Most of the women were of the kind vaguely called emancipated, and professed some protest against male supremacy. Yet these new women would always pay to a man the extravagant compliment which no ordinary woman ever pays to him, that of listening while he is talking."
G. K. Chesterton, in The Man Who Was Thursday

Away: When your lovebird reaches maturity, which is around one years of age, it may show some signs of whether it is male or female, such as ripping up paper and stuffing it into it's feathers (female), or regrugitating for its owners (male).

Away: sleepy sleep

Away: ah thailand. what would I do without you?

Away: I must buy a Che Guevara t-shirt, Roman has convinced me: "When you buy Che products, you are partaking in a capitalist system that Che did not support. Furthermore, you are helping someone get rich by selling socialism. Now that is ironic. Wearing Che T-shirts is a tacit acknowledgement of capitalism's triumph over socialism. That's not something Che would want to acknowledge. "

Away: "...he was over the moon to find that he had not been taken by his eternal enemy, Uncle Giuseppe"

If you are going to end an innkeeper, it can be done quite easily with a hatchet. But if you are going to mend an innkeeper, you must do it tenderly, you must do it reverently. You must nail an extra arm or leg on his person, keeping always before you the Platonic image of the perfect innkeeper, to whose shape you seek to restore him.
-- G. K. Chesterton
For those of you who hang on my every word, here are my screenname and profile archives, starting wendesday, 29 January.

Away: Forget it, mister high-and-mighty Master Control! You're not going to make me talk!

Away: People are asking to have one or more healthy limbs cut off because they say they don't feel whole or happy with both arms and both legs attached. This is a psychiatric condition known as apotemnophilia.

Away: It is not improbable that a period may arrive when the narrow if once useful distinction between the anthropoid homo and the other animals, which has been modified on so many moral points, may be modified also even in regard to the important question of the extension of human diet

Away: combatting my eternal enemy, knowledge.

Away: Preparing to deliver a short, boring sermon-thing at tonight's C. S. Lewis themed service. Pray for me, and those who need to listen to me.

Away: beth is the coolest person ever
