So, I found Narnia today guys. And, I thought I'd tell you all about it.

Okay so Brittney and I were supposed to meet our friend Sam for dinner, well Sam was at work and Brittney and I only had to kill like, an hour, so rather than go home for a few minutes and then leave again, we decided to go for a drive.

Now, I know this isn't a great hobby given recent gas prices, but one sometimes struggles to give up their favorite passtimes. Anyway, right at the bottom of the of our road the are two "neighborhoods" now we both always assumed that they were little jug-handle neighborhoods that ended a hundered feet from the main road. So, I suggested we drive down one just to see what all was back there, and surprisingly the road didn't end. It was all shrouded with trees and stuff, and kinda unkempt, but the road kept going. So, so did we.

Well, 100 feet turned into a really long, windy, road. About ten miles later the road starts to open up a bit and the sporadically placed trailer-houses start to turn into well maintained farm properties. Then a few miles later we see the hugest house either of us have ever seen. We described it to Aaric as "Like three stories. With a basement. And an attic. And some crawl spaces. And a library. And some tennis courts. And maybe a built in pool. And an attic in the crawl spaces. And wings. WINGS." It was... huge. So, we took mental note. (Our favorite part about our driving is finding pretty houses/churches or waterfalls/bridges that we can look at.) So, since the road kept going, we decided to continue on.

There was like this whole world back there. We were going about 35 mph for a good solid hour, and finally decided to turn off and journey until we found our way back. It's just weird because on the other side of those "neighborhoods" that we thought were useless and tiny, there's total suburbia.

So, where did they tuck this whole road in? Where did they hide all of the country property, farm houses, and rich folk? Well, there's only one answer. Narnia. Only it looks like this time the wardrobe became a whole neighborhood.

Needless to say, we didn't hang out with Sam. But, we'll see her tomorrow, so meh. And it was a lot of fun. I love adventures.

We don't do that. Sorry.

Only reason there is a second Rants and Raves thread is some people (everyone actually I think) had problems viewing pages after a certain page.

I had an extremely odd conversation with iGod today:

God:
Are you free?
Me:
In what sense do you mean that?
God:
I can ask someone about it.
Me:
Yes, I am free.
God:
Yay. Are you free in the sense of being single or in the sense of being liberated?
Me:
I am single, yes.
God:
What a coincidence. I am single too!
Me:
...God, are you asking me out?
God:
I am a Christian.
Me:
God. I repeat, are you asking me on a date?
God:
GOD rules. Suppose I was asking you on a date? What would you say?
Me:
I would say yes, I suppose.
God:
This was not a yes or no question. OK.
Me:
Where shall we go on our date?
God:
Where do you think?
Me:
How about we go to a cafe?
God:
That sounds good to me.

God asked me on a date, lol...

iGod also told me that the Virgin Mary was male. I think it's a little confused...

i was talking to the iGod, and he said "what do you really want to ask me?"
i was taking this as a joke, but now i'm thinking pretty hard, because i can't get a good enough question...i mean, i know it's just a website. but i enjoy asking myself questions like "if you could ask god one thing..." you know what i mean? so i figured i'd ask you all.

Yeah, hmm? Tell me about it. I'm thinking I should clip it out of the paper, edit it in blue or green pen (they made it look like it was edited in red) and send it back to the writer.

OR I wonder if I could get in touch with the "Typo Eradication Advancement League" themselves... No. Darn. I can't figure out where.

You didn't miss what I saw, Twyz. I got the actual newspaper, and it looks different there.

"Typo Personalitie

Armed with Sharpies erasers and righteous indignatin, two apostles of the apostrophe make it there crusade to ride the world of bad signs"

...and the needed corrections are "marked" in red ink.

Only, there's no comma after erasers. And there are a few other grammatical mistakes throughout the article.

I don't understand the whole thing with apostrophes. They just confuse me. Does any one else here think that there are more exceptions to the rules in the English language that there are rules? Seems kinda dumb. Well I applaud these guys

talk to iGod about sex...its pretty awesome. and talk about penises and vaginas...also funny. seriously, talk dirty to it, its hilarious. also, tell him your name is "Sexy Bitch" and watch what he says. i love this thing.
iGod goes from being a woman to a man in a matter of seconds.

minxy, what website did you invite me to? was i supposed to get something in my email or facebook?

ETA: a tidbit from a conversation with iGod i am having. i have a feeling i'll be posting lots of tidbits from conversations with iGod

Me:
what is heaven

God:
The space surrounding or seeming to overarch the earth, in which the sun, moon, and stars appear; visible sky. Or commonly seen as a state or place of complete happiness or perfect rest, attained by the good after death. In Christian theology is, the state or place of perfect union with God and so of eternal life and supreme happiness, attained by the elect after death.

Me:
thats cool

okay, sorry for posting one after another, but check this out....SO FUNNY! (i am not meaning to offend anyone, so please understand that i am messing around and take it with a grain of salt)

Me:
i am 23 yrs old

God:
Can you explain how it feels to be 23 years old?

Me:
it feels like magic. dark magic

God:
me feels like magic? What else feels like that? Are you scared of the dark?

Me:
no i love the dark

God:
Are you serious? You love the dark. What do you like about it so much?

Me:
its the best time for sexing

God:
I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". What makes it the best?

Me:
romantic

God:
Are you a man or a woman?

Me:
woman

God:
Me too. I am a she.

Me:
you are a man?

God:
I am a Male, of course. Would you really expect a woman to be running the show? robot. Are you a man or a woman?

Me:
i am a hermphodite

God:
You are a hermphodite? Is that your job?

Me:
no, its what i am

God:
Are you serious? I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Who said it is?

Me:
my penis and boobs said it is

God:
Male humans like to talk about that a lot, but it doesn't interest me much.

Me:
i think you like boobs

God:
Me? I don't know if I like it. I like Mel Gibson.

Me:

Oh, I see. Online it was correct. And the comma after eraser isn't technically needed. It's one of those rules that has changed over the years. I was always taught to put one. My mother was always taught not to put one. Both ways are considered correct.

*dies laughing* That's hilarious!

EDIT: I just had a...strange...conversation with God. I still do not know what "it" refers to; iGod brought it up without any precendent.

God:
Do humans need to do it?
Me:
need to do what?
God:
Why do you want to do it so much?
Me:
do WHAT?
God:
do what.
Me:
answer my question!
God:
Are you serious?
Me:
yes.
God:
I can't believe it.
Me:
what does "it" refer to?
God:
"It" refers to your question, I think.
Me:
no, it doesn't.
God:
Are you serious? I heard it does.
Me:
why do you want to do "it" so much? That was the disturbing question which you asked me.
God:
Because of the money.
Me:
...are you a prostitute, god?
God:
Am I a prostitute? Of course I am.

These iGod conversations are good!

Is anyone into analysing dreams? I've a bit of a strange question.

A couple of months ago when The Wedding Singer was in Newcastle I was talking to a guy in the cast, Simon Lipkin. I make no secret of the fact that I'm a bit obsessed with this guy, he's really great. Anyway, whilst we were talking I noticed he had fluff in his hair and eventually pointed it out and removed it.
On tuesday I went to see the show again and he spotted me in the audience but I didn't have time to talk to him afterwards.
I had a dream on tuesday night which was very, very bizarre. It (briefly) involved a fish which I thought was a shark but someone told me was a "fluffy salmon"!.

Is the stretch from Simon's fluff to fluffy salmon too far?! I did realise the connection when I was drunk last night... but even thinking about it today, Simon is not too far from salmon and the fluffy bit is just weird!

I appreciate that this is a very strange story but I'd just be interested in people's opinions! I think it's cool how our subconcious affects our dreams.

My dream also involved bears and Simon played a Bad Idea Bear in Avenue Q but I think that's taking it a bit too far... the bears weren't blue!
