True true, but the devil is nothing if not petty.


Argh I hate being wrong! My paper one why I did homework assignment 3 right now proves me wrong. Bah! It must be the professor's fault for failing to explain the premise of the process well enough.

Even though I did not watch that lecture before doing that assignment...

Heh... And I am nothing if not always expecting something grander if he was gonna go to the trouble. Maybe I watch to many movies ;~D

Story: My friend Tiffney does tend to see all things in terms of divine intervention, for good or ill. And bless her heart, I just have to argue with her.

When we were on a trail ride once, she had been evangelizing at me over lunch, and I was being lackadaisical about the importance of me changing anything about me, and when we mounted back up to ride on, my horse went about 30 feet and tripped hard, hit the dirt, and fell on me. While I was still getting up, getting him up, and assessing how badly he was hurt, his knees were bleeding, she proclaims that God was trying to tell me something, and continued to argue that the whole way back.

I got so mad. I was legitimately concerned about my horse, and was in no mood to entertain the idea that the best communication method God had at his disposal was to trip my horse. ;~D
