I took it a step further and always sat alone, in the classes, in the church part, during any lunches...though more often then not people would find me and sit beside me... and talk to me Usually things like that infuriate me but I guess I was feeling a little more sociable those days...

We never wanted him...

When I watch movies I riff them, and I wonder if Jesus would do the same? or would he insist on silence during the whole thing?

Or be free of things like money and worries and such... Methinks its easier to focus on a strong relationship when things like money can't come along and ruin it

I donno, personally I don't think God is looking out for me, but that's a lack of faith

Yeah methinks the word has gotten a different meaning as the ages went on... not sure how a short name for Richard is a slang for male genitalia but there you go

I always wanted to write children's books, I certainly wasn't satisfied with them as a child, I remember being read Moby **** when I was quite small (around 7) reading myself Grimm's Fairy Tails, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, Call of Cthulhu... I tried sharing my similar taste with my younger cousins (many moons ago) but for some reason there's just something scary to some of a poem where a village gets eaten by a monster the size of a hill

As time goes on, I do plan to have more... normal questions as there are normal people in this story, the main human protagonists are their Mormon neighbours and the first "chapter/story" is pretty much entirely about them and their very human problems and joys. Which seems to be the trickest to write, I'm not a father, though I do have a father!

I remember in the Scouts, we felt it was best as a troop to go out and fundraise for ourselves... We invented something called a Grocery Draw, in which we had a raffle by donation, to a giftcard for a grocery store. Simple concept, were in the grocery store, basically standing there, telling people to have a good day or some such thing.

That was a lovely read, thank you... very kind of you to do all that and I hope things work out well for them

Syrinx also isn't human, none of them are, she and two of her children are forest beings or faeries. They feel above humans (due to their extremely long life, ability to fly and use psychic powers such as telepathy and telekinesis, kinship with trees and animals, and are not limited to physical existance) and to be said they were created or should obey a human deity would be grounds to be killed (they have their own God/Goddess named Lokasenna, who lives in a giant tree and does things like mass weddings and ceremonial bathings of seedlings - baby faeries) Polyamory is the norm in their society, which is basically stone age-they don't even wear clothes, everything they need to survive is given by the forest, they desire to build nothing, write nothing, only the Royal family is chronicled, and they are more like a clergy. Marriage is much more loosely defined to them then us, generally it is two people who love eachother, often children are involved and they are loyal to eachother and sleep with no other. Friends are friends, partners are partners. To Faeries the two cross and mingle, if you love someone (not related to you) in any way-you marry them. You marry all your friends, you marry any lovers, it is really simply a deloration of love, since it's a mass dance around a magical lake with the Lord and Lady Lokasenna in audience. The world she was married in was so vastly different then ours, to her that is the most normal thing in the world. She is more willing to adapt to other customs, where her (faerie) children aren't. Lilith on the other hand, is a Siv, a race very indepth and numbering only 13. They were made with the soul intention to obliterate all life, and possess powers unfathomable to anyone. They are considered the highest beings in the universe, besides the three "Demi Gods" (children of One, Lokasenna and her two siblings Yokoshima and Kaunis) and the aformentioned One (the creator of all)

It is interesting to see people's reactions about things, I didn't want the cliche total "omg" style reaction to hearing about polyamory in the story. Though that could open another question, if you met a new neighbour and, during conversation she talks about her past, including marriage, in which she was married to both a man and a woman at the same time, how would you react to that?

This character isn't introverted, quite the opposite-her mother is rather introverted, and her eldest sister has a rather harsh reputation in the neighbourhood (and by extention ward) but the two siblings are very different. In the (what I call the Tales of the Mormon Chronicles-one part I posted here) the family had met most of the ward at a picnic one of the members invited them to, as to try and get them to know their neighbours. It was... full of challenges, but that is where the character, Lilith, met the missionaries and became interested in the whole thing. I can certainly imagine people's thoughts towards her, the kind and extroverted child within a rather mean and introverted family, who seem to have strange beliefs and customs.

Yes, she would, beliefs or not, it's still her child and she wants to be supportive

Well, as the story goes, she thinks the church doesn't have any meaning in her life and doesn't feel like being involved with a religion of any sort. She would help her daughter with things, but wouldn't go to church herself (though would walk her there and home from there) and would sit with her during the missionaries' teachings. She is supportive and encourages her daughter, ultimately, to do what makes her happy.

Here's a question for y'all, say a child, 8-9 wants to be a member, her mother wants nothing to do with it, but has no objection with her daughter being a member, how would that go?

sure sure

So you'd make an Iron Man suit to fight the strongest person in the universe? Foolish!

The Siv agrees

I always found the whole evolution thing and fossils and etc to be utterly facinating. How truly old they said things were, and when someone told me about creationism, I remember telling them "that's not true" in my mind there was no proof of creationism, and there is for evolution, and whatnot. (And I still believe that)
