Honestly. Probably the best thing I've ever seen. I've watched it maybe 5,000 times today and plan on staying up until 4:00 A.M. in order to watch it another 5,000 times. -
LOVE this.
"Advent is a season where we open ourselves up to God, and we ask God to come in to those places where our heart has lost the ability to be filled with wonder and awe and anticipation. And we ask God to go in there and to heal and to transform and to restore and to reconcile and to put things back together that have gotten broken." -Rob Bell -

The whole poem is amazing, but I especially love this part:
Today again I am hardly myself.

I know no one on my flist really watches The Legend of the Seeker but that season/series finale was probably the most intense 45 minutes of my life. The time I got attacked by a Great Dane was pretty intense....

There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry."

GUH. The whole time I was obsessively hitting "refresh" on my e-mail trying to get my results, they were THERE. Just at a different e-mail address! So I didn't find out until 10:30 this morning when I could have found out at 10:30 last night. But it was a good experience in learning to not freak out, or you know... would have been.

This is by far the funniest thing I've ever read in my entire life. I can't stop laughing. I just picture this lady standing there going "oh God, what if he's FAKING PLAYING DEAD?! D: I'll let Perno take care of it." I have so much work to do, I must stop browsing Found. I think I forgot grad school is a lot of work - because I'm pretty sure ( Read more... )
