not useless enough

Were your parents in the military or something? How's a person get to be so hardcore regimented?

I don't thing I've ever tried eating a radish.

I think I've evolved out of the stage whereby I feel it necessary to proclaim "I do not believe." I think I'm at a stage where I appreciate what individuals and groups get out of the communal religious practices, and I respect them for it, and I'm not interested in making fusses or stepping on toes or offending. We live in a world whereby people do all manner of funny things-religious and nonreligious-who am I to make a fuss and what do I benefit by getting my panties in a bunch over any of it?

How useless should it be? I couldn't think of totally useless facts...except for my favorite color is purple.

No, my parents weren't in the military. I just...really enjoy cleaning and being organized? My parents were tidy enough when I was growing up, but not strict or insane about keeping everything in order.

That's definitely a beet. I do love radishes, though.

I wasn't trying to jump in anyone's face about my religious beliefs, just thought it was part of me that you guys didn't know about and I'd share. In my experience, I don't respect most religious folks beliefs because they don't respect mine. It should be noted that I am not and do not try to provoke anyone, but when the subject arises I will explain my point of view. I enjoy healthy discussions, usually about religion and politics (both touchy subjects for most). I won't keep going because I really don't want to get into semantics, you know?

How useless should it be? I'm jus' messin'. Internet: tone, it does not convey.

I really hate beets- they make me gag. If I were forced to eat beets everyday, I guess I could figure out some way to appreciate them, but I could definitely do without their existence. Cherries and peas on the otherhand: good stuff (but not together- holy crap, that's gross).

I wasn't trying to jump in anyone's- I know you weren't. It was an innocent little sentence. No worries. I just saw and took an opportunity to pontificate about my nonsense.

I know you were messin' around; so was I. Internet: tone = fail. :)

I LOVE beets. And, ew, I wouldn't want to eat a combination of the three together... Especially cherries and peas. I'm sure I'd vomit.

And, I know you know I wasn't trying to start anything. I was just reiterating. :)

So, to sum it up, I know that you know that I know. Yeah.

This is the Internet equivalent of when you shuffle to the right and the person opposite you does a mirror move to her left, then you pivot left and she likewise pivots to her right. Then you both do the awkward second-long pause, one person gives the closed-mouth smile. And somehow someway the situation eventually resolves itself.

Good analogy; I'd say that's just about how it was going there for a moment. Damn the internet and loosing inflection!
