Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

LONDON (AFP) - A British vicar has created his own version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show to lure the faithful back into the fold -- a new twice-monthly church service for the Goths in his parish, complete with rock music and compulsory black garments.

The idea is the brainchild of Martin Ramshaw, associate Anglican vicar and resident Goth at the very traditionally named church of St Edward King and Martyr in the very well-heeled eastern university city of Cambridge.

"The service seeks to find new ways of making the life of the church meaningful to people from alternative, and particularly Goth, communities," Ramshaw explains on the church's website, www.st-edwards-cam.org.uk

"I am a Goth myself and realized that quite a lot of people I knew were spiritual rather than religious and were desperately looking for a spiritual home."

Held on alternate Tuesday evenings, the new 45-minute service is candle-lit -- though more in the style of English band Flesh Eating Foundation than that of Cambridge's world-famous Christmas Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.

The dozen or so worshippers that the service regularly draws usually pile into a nearby nightclub after prayers for a Goth event aptly named the Calling, Ramshaw explains on his dedicated website, www.thegotheucharist.org.uk.

The Gothic movement, which is generally keener on heavy metal than Hail Marys, is also suspected of dabbling in Satanism. But those acolytes who do venture through the hallowed doors of 15th-century St Edwards need not feel daunted even if -- God forbid -- they forget their all-black Gothic garb: Ramshaw is producing a special t-shirt for the service.

"It will be a long-sleeved black t-shirt with a quote from St John's Gospol's (sic) farewell discourse printed on the front and the back. The front will say simply 'If the world hates you...' and the back will say 'remember it hated me first'."

"I thought this could be one way of encouraging people into church that wasn't Bible bashing and would show people that Christianity can provide hope and support," the 34-year-old vicar adds on the church website.

Ramshaw, who started up the Gothic service early this month, is the latest member of the clergy in Britain to come up with a novel attempt to stem the haemorrage of churchgoers across the country.

A Methodist church near Oxford, the other most prestigious university city in England, is trying to attract younger worshippers by hosting a singles club, concerts for teenage rock bands and screenings of films such as "Back to the Future" and "The Mummy".

Oh. And so many lights... Made me dizzy going 'round and 'round and 'round hte tree...

Whee!

I have come to the conclusion that I'm a little paranoid.

I'm in Springfield, hanging out at the apartment. I've used hte last towel, so I decide to wash some. Being the considerate person I am, I go into the bedroom to grab a few other things.

That's when I hear something scratchign at the screen on the {thankfully} closed window. my first thought is - shit! Who's trying to get in?! So I creep out of the room and go grab a knife from the kitchen. A big one. One of hte long ones for slicing veggies. It's serrated and a little sharp.

I decide to go out the front door. After all. If someone's trying to get in, they're going to notice a sliding door right next to them as opposed to the eight doors in the hallway.

So I creep outside - and it's raining. Big fat drops that hit a little on the hard side. But I go and check the window anyway. Nope. Just the rain.

Then I hear someone moving. I look up - knife still in my hand and see this woman. She asks me if i've seen her _cat_. By this time, i feel liek a real ass and I apologise and say no - the cat's probably smart enough to be someplace dry. {Unlike the human.}

I try to head back inside when I hear her give a kind of strangled gasp and I know she's seen the knife. I wave a bit and wish her luck on finding her cat.. and hightail it back inside.

Then I open the window in the bedroom and the door in the living room for some breeze. Nice out. Even for asses.

Well, then. Tried to update twice. Hmph.

The Baxter Springs RenFaire isn't really worth it. Sure there were lots of SCA people - fighters and a lot of demos in a v. small tent, but there were few vendors and only two 'bands'. And there was almost no interaction. Maybe I'm spoiled by Muskogee and Bonner Springs, but really.

And this was one day that was really rather strange. I went to Faire nad didn't dress up! *gasp* I usually don't need a reason, but... I just wasn't feeling well this morning. and most of the afternoon. We left around one and I slept until six thirty. Oh goodness was that a heck of a nap.

Heh. I'm just now waking up. And now... I won't sleep all night. Whee.

"Hello. This is Tony Blair with a message for you this Fourth of July weekend. As you go about your celebrations, don't forget we are your only friends in the world right now. So enjoy your sausages, but remember. Don't go screaming about your Independence, unless you want to lose your last friends in the Universe."

- loosely recalled from todays edition of a Prairie Home Companion.

I'll prolly post a blurb later. ^^;;
