PERSONAL STANCE ON:
Homosexuality: No different from heterosexualit
Abortion: A woman's right to choose - although it is her own fault (rape victims aside) she's knocked up. Never see this happening to me.
Religion: Human's way of avoidingthe fact that randomness rules the universe. Nothing happens for a good reason.
Eating disorders: a disease, sickness, heath problem that people need help to. Get help.
Animal rights: Animals right to live, be healthy and have no suffering. Humans are the only ones who break these rights.
Love at first sight: possible, has happened to me.
God: creation and creator.
Marilyn Manson: attention-seek
Guy bands: way to make money. Have no artistical value
Spice girls: so old already, who remembers them?
Premarital sex: everyone's own choice, though true love waits.
Titanic: A horrid disaster in the history of seafaring
Jerry Springer: some guy who goes away if you turn off the TV
Suicide: Wrong way out.
Self mutilation: attention seeking.
Dreams: legal drugs without addiction
Aliens: "Hope there's some intelligent life out in the universe coz there's bugger off down here on earth"
Horoscopes: Star signs? Imagination but bemusing.
Hell: State of mind
Transvestites: A way of life, no less humans than anybody
Pop music: A gathering of musical notation formed into an easy-to-like, hummable form to make money
Rap: Originally a way to escape grim reality of a dangerous ghetto, novadays just another form of pop music.
80's music: Different styles of music composed and performed during the 1980-decade. People think it has a distinguished sound, which is like saying everyone who lived in the 80's were perfectly alike.
Punk: Another way of escaping the grim reality, a form of rebellion. Filthiness is its trademark, you have to be a certain sort of person to like punk.
It has been a year since I wrote this personal stance -list thingie... time to upload my stances. And let's see how my opinions have changed.
PERSONAL STANCE ON:
Homosexuality: People's private matter, not an option. God loves them as well, so don't pull that "Bible hates gays" stuff here...
Abortion: Murder.
Religion: A way to find peace and meaning in life.
Eating disorders: Diseases if the person really has it, but if they use it to get attention (i.e. say that they have bulimia to get attention) well, then it's just sad and n00by and they need a good kick in the hiney, because there is nothing cool in eating disorders, just like there is nothing cool in syphilis, AIDS or gout. Roundness is pretty! W00t!
Animal rights: Trying to keep humans from mistreating animals, which they do too often. The fact is, pets are a part of our society, they are citizens (kind of) and wild animals can't defend themselves agains human brutality in a fair fight, so morally conscious people need to do it for them. The Earth wasn't given to men to be exploited but looked after, and we are doing a crummy job...
Love at first sight: That would be lust. Love is a seed that grows. First it is a small flame, a crush, then it will evolve in to a burnign passion.
God: The Creator of Everything, the Heavenly Father to whom our souls long to go to.
Marilyn Manson: Some dude.
Guy bands: Music. Not composed by the singers.
Spice girls: The face of that weird movement of Girl Power... I didn't care for that muchly, feminists scare me.
Premarital sex: No thanks. If you must... well then, just keep it out of my face or I will call you a whore a little ^.^
Titanic: My boyfriend's favourite movie... ^_^;; Therefore it's a good film
Jerry Springer: Some Dude, not as uber as Conan O'Brien (I don't even know if they are in the same league or something)
Suicide: Wrong. You'll go to hell for that. Well, at least you won't go to heaven. Life is a gift of God and you will insult Him if you don't appreciate it.
Self mutilation: Stupid. It is those angsty attention-seek
Dreams: Beautiful (unless you are in a troubled state of mind, when they can be the worst thing). But mostly a source of great imagination, it is while dreaming that humankind reaches it's greatest achievements.
Aliens: Fairly likely that they exist somewhere, but they will never get their asses (assuming they have those) over here - unless of course they are built of something else than this matter that we are built of, or if they are never-dying... hmm...
Horoscopes: Ancient art of telling the truth long forgotten. Those thingies in the papers these days is a hoax.
Hell: Not sure. Let's just say it's the first part of Dante's Divina Commedia, which is great poetry.
Transvestites: People who dress as other people? :P Meh, I'm very intrigued by them.
Pop music: Fun.
Rap: Annoying
80's music: Cool.
Punk: Olde Punke was uber, the modern punk is a bit... iffy. Some today-punks manage to do some uber stuff, but then there are those annoying things that sing of shagging girls and drinking... Punke used to mean something, dammit!
"I am sorry for my own generation, which is empty of all human substance; having known nothing but liquor, mathematics, and sprots cars in the way of spiritual life, it has become completely gregarious and devoid of all character.
A century of advertising, mass production, totalitarian regimes, armies which go into battle with no flags flying and hold no masses for the dead. I hate my period with all my being, for in it mankind is dying of thirst...
Give us back spiritual purpose, spiritual disquiet. Give us something as refreshing as Gregorian chant. Were I a believer, I should certainly find Solesmes a vast improvement over this workaday world. It is no longer possible to live by electric refridgerators
I have the impression that we are moving into the world's blackest time."
-Antoine De Saint-Exupery 1948

This is a temporary password for Elftown. It will only work
one time so be sure to set a new password (And remember it
this time!) by going to 'Your House'->'update personal
data'.
If you haven't requested this message, don't worry! It's
just someone else that has typed your username instead of
their own. Maybe because they didn't remember their own
username correctly. Your ordinary Elftown password still
works just fine!
Don't worry?!?!? Someone is trying to get into my account and I shouldn't worry?!! Of the fucking course I worry, I'm paranoid enough as it is without someone trying to hack into my account! Didn't remember their username correctly... Bullshit, no one's username reminds mine! >:( I really hate people now.
HOW WOULD THE BIBLE BE DIFFERENT WERE IT WRITTEN BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS:
10. Last Supper would have been eaten the next morning - cold.
9. The Ten Commandments are actually only five, double-spaced, and written in a large font.
8. New edition every two years in order to limit reselling.
7. Forbidden fruit would have been eaten because it wasn t cafeteria food.
6. Paul s letter to the Romans becomes Paul`s e-mail to abuse@romans.g
5. Reason Cain killed Abel: They were roommates.
4. The place where the end of the world occurs: Finals, not Armageddon.
3. Out go the mules, in come the mountain bikes.
2. Reason why Moses and followers walked in desert for 40 years: They didn`t want to ask directions and look like freshmen.
1. Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh, He would have put it off until the night before it was due and then pulled an all-nighter.
Are you?:
Doing another one of these questionnaires so you can go *neener* at [iippo]?: Unfortunately not, I am being neenered at... >.o

Open-minded: Mostly... I'll try, maybe, everything, or not, if it's really weird and then I'll regret not trying so uhh...

Hungry: Oh yes, bloody hell. I wish I didn't have to do this thing so I could go home and eat.
Friendly: Yes. Too much at occasions.
Smart: *thinks what has been doing the past week* *has been studying physics although is on a fine art course, i.e. is doing it out of curiosity* Yes, I am smart.
Moody: I have one mood, does that count?
Childish: Yes! ^_^ *loves 'The Entertainer'*
Independent: Mmm, if left completely alone, I'm good, but if I have to be independent and take care of someone else('s business), I tend to mess up... I can't multitask
Hard working: Yes, well, occasionally.
Organized: Heh, umm, no.
Healthy: No, well, yes I'm not sick or anything, but I'm eating unhealthily...
Emotionally Stable: Absolutely.

Angry: Rarely.
Sad: Sometimes. If I focus on saddening things.
Happy: Most of the time.
Trusting: I really really do try, honestly. I trust God, but the people he works through... well, I need a bit more time.
Talkative: No.
Original: Hmm, my teacher said that the way for a young artist to be original is to read outside the box and that is exactly what I've been doing all along.
Different: No, the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Unique: "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake"... Well, there you have it.
Ignored: Yes, but that's because I avoid attracting attention (although I sometimes hideously fail at that)
Reliable: Yes.
Content: "Let me never be content!"
Optimistic: Always

I find: my thumb to be very sore because I keep tearing the skin... >.<
I want: to have the bed for myself tonight
I have: not had the bed for myself for some time now
I wish: that the uni wouldn't want me to pay tuition at all
I love: my dear darling
I hate: nothing.
I miss: my mum's food, my dog and some other stuff from Finland
I fear: that uni blocks me and kicks me out of my accommodation and this country.
I feel: that I'm very lucky that the uni hasn't done that yet.
I hear: clicking and muttering... it is the french people with computers! run for your wife!
I smell: nothing because I have a stuffy nose >.<
I crave: to un-stuff my nose, but it is impossiible.
I search: the solution to my stuffy nose, and also information about quantum physics, the general theory of relativity and quarks on the internet
I wonder: Is there anything smaller than quarks, what makes electro-magnet
I regret: not working hard with my math when I had the chance in high school, but I blame the teacher, she couldn't keep the class.
The Meaning of Life
Life is just a neat example of electromagneti
By convention there is color,
By convention sweetness,
By convention bitterness,
But in reality there are atoms and space.

welcome to reality
The first principle of marketing (okay, it’s not the first, but it doesn’t sound nearly as cool to say it’s the third) is this: perception is reality. You see, a long time ago, some academic came up with the idea that reality doesn’t actually exist. Or at least, if it does, no one can agree what it is. Because of perception.
Perception is the filter through which we view the world, and most of the time it’s a handy thing to have: it generalizes the world so we can deduce that a man who wears an Armani suit is rich, or that a man who wears an Armani suit and keeps saying, “Isn’t this some Armani suit,” is a rich asshole. But perception is a faulty mechanism. Perception is unreliable and easily distracted, subject to a thousand miscues and misinformation
(Incidentally, this wouldn’t be a good thing. The economy of every Western country would implode. Some of the biggest companies on the planet would never sell another product. The air would be thick with executives leaping out of windows and landing on BMWs.)
