I have a fake tattoo on Gaia, is that ok? I've never had a real tattoo, though. I guess it's because I am afraid of needles, too! I am getting better, though. I like to donate blood when I can. Oh, Talmar, I am sorry you had that happen! Are you doing better from then to now? I hope so, and if not, just remember that God will never give us anything we cannot handle!  

[Silver Wingling]

I think since the tattoos on Gaia are just pixals, it's ok... I have some, anyway. I'm ok now, I had gotten toncilitis, and I had to have blood tests before I had my tonsils out. Thanks for asking biggrin .

Well, the tattoo I have already is a cross with a butterfly wing on it and I consider it an expression of my faith, just as the other tattoo I want will be.

And actually, it didn't hurt nearly as much as one might think it would. The outline was the most uncomfortable. It kinda feels like getting a bee sting on top of a fresh cigarette burn, but it lasts for such a short time that it's more uncomfortable than painful. And in a strange way it felt good. sweatdrop It also depends on where you get it. Mine was on my leg, between my calf and ankle, which is a good place as far as pain goes. Foot tattoos are the worst I've heard, cuz the skin is so thin there. Also, getting tattoos over bone (like spine, wrist, or neck) I've heard are pretty painful.

[dragongirl42391]

*smiles* Thanks! Yeah, I got it from that song by the David Crowder Band, called Revolutionary love, I LOVE THAT SONG!!!  

[dragongirl42391]

"Hold On, Wait a minute put a little love in it." Isn't that from a Family Force Five song?  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

Why yes, yes it is. 4laugh I love Family Force 5. They totally rock my socks. I saw them in concert with tobyMac and some other people that I don't care about too much.

Hello everyone! Fushigi na Butterfly (I call her Andi) finally convinced me to make a Gaia account and join her guild... Let's see how I do, ne? :3 Here's a little about myself:

My name is Marcy. I go to the same college as Andi, and we're currently studying in Japan together. I like to watch movies, cosplay, and collect lots of cute clothes! <3 My favourite color is rainbow, and a few of my favourite things are: Hearts, stars, rainbows, sunshine rain, chewy chocolate chip cookies, kittens, all things paranormal, techno, and sleeping in moving cars/trains/what have you.

I prefer to classify myself as a spiritually-aware pagan with christian tendancies. Ever since I was a child, I felt as if humans are meant to be connected with nature and it's energies, which lead me into paganism. However, I've since abandoned the worship of "gods" in favour of something a little more subtle. I believe in the energies of the earth, and that by training yourself spiritually and mentally, a human can tap into those energies--a higher sense of awareness.

As for my Christian tendancies: Where other pagans might worship a god and a goddess, I worship God singularly as the entity that compasses both the "god" and "goddess," the source of all the energies of the earth. By meditation and spiritual exercise, one can become more attuned the the "flow" of God's energies. It's like getting a big teddy-bear God hug. :3

That's about it. Sorry about the lengthiness. I'm very particular about my beliefs, and I always want to make sure that there are no misunderstandings so unecessary disputes can be avoided. I'm just trying to cover all my bases. Force of habit, if you know what I mean. biggrin Anyways, I'm always up for some intense, civil debates, and I'm even more excited about meeting new people from all kinds of religions and beliefs. See you around the forums!  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

That wasn't nearly as long as I thought it would be while watching you type it up, so no worries. I'm glad you finally joined! Now we can have some really interesting discussions. 3nodding  

[Mearna]

My name is Sarah, I am female and am age of thirteen. I live in WA I am homeschooled and currently involved in a homeschool co-op. I enjoy videogames, friends, Gaia and I'm currently trying to play Runescape.

I go to church, but I am bored of it. I feel that the pastors are ignoring thier newcomers and are unfit to teach the gospel.  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

Welcome to the guild, Sarah. I'm sorry your church kinda sucks. confused I feel the same at my church at home, that's why I'm glad I'll be able to start looking for a new one next summer after I move. Pray that maybe God can open your pastors up to some revelation that they aren't reaching all their members. Being in the faith is a growing and learning process for everyone, including leaders. Instead of seeing your situation as purely bad, pray for your pastors, and pray that God can open your heart and mind as well; perhaps there's something you're missing too??  

[genioos]

Hi guys! Sorry, I just noticed this and thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm old, you don't need to know my age blaugh

I'm looking for a church to call home~ I don't have a "denomination", but I love Jesus!

I work as an Analytical Chemist at the local University, where I also take some classes in writing.

I like video games, movies, playing piano and crafting stuff. other than that, I'm just a plain Jane!  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

You sound pretty cool. And I'm sure you're not that old. We have parents in here too, I think (I don't think they post though). At any rate, welcome to the guild! biggrin
