I actually thought it was a little too close to the mark to be funny -- RL teenagers get slammed with some of those actual verses in real life for wearing black or whatever. For that reason, I prefer godhatesshrimp.com for all my godhate-mocking needs.<br /><br />Eragon is spelled correctly. I thought the movie was extremely enjoyable in a so-bad-it's-good way; the book moves more slowly through a lot more words & is kind of boring. But its success isn't all that hard to understand; it's got telepathic links with really cool dragons and Being the Chosen One and resistance movements and all sorts of other appealing things that are fun to read about if you can disengage your Bad Prose Parking Brake (or didn't have one in the first place) . <br /><br />I kind of like the ugly hatchling phoenix. :D And as far as uncomfortably appropriating historical executions goes. . . well. . . there's more where that came from :-/Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550058566159443898.post-74640554497742395842013-09-26T02:04:45.154-04:002013-09-26T02:04:45.154-04:00OK, second attempt at commenting...
THANK YOU for...OK, second attempt at commenting...<br /><br />THANK YOU for praying for my boy!!! That made my day. I keep thinking about him, and... yeah. It was nice to have the reminder, even if godhatesgoths.com turned out to be a mockery of something much too stupid to need a dedicated mockery. ;)<br /><br />Yeah, I read Eragon. And couldn't get into it. To be fair, author Christopher Paolini was a teenager when the book was published, which might explain both the book deal and the ineptitude.Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550058566159443898.post-27606413103723612732013-09-25T11:54:12.181-04:002013-09-25T11:54:12.181-04:00unfortunately..or fortunately, really..godhatesgot...unfortunately..or fortunately, really..godhatesgoths.com is phony..a mockery of other godhates__ websites.

He's in my prayers now as well!! And I had to take a deep breath and swallow hard after that story too! Humor is really all I can do in situations like that..<br /><br />I'm glad you liked the whole thought on to give - or not to give- the books to kids, I have trouble saying anything at all on those sorts of questions because I feel like just saying "OBVIOUSLY if your kid is not able to handle fantasy/darkness/inter-personal drama you should be aware of that and lock them up in the non-fiction section." and at the same time I can't help but wonder HOW some books get published (have you read Eragon..or however you spell it?) and books like that really, well..I'd rather see kid's reading books by people with a gift for writing..or at least storytelling.. you know ;) But I can understand the need for unequivocal enthusiasm, especially in light of godhatesgoths.com. ;)Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943998810222103926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550058566159443898.post-89466947186114878182013-09-24T17:20:27.252-04:002013-09-24T17:20:27.252-04:00MASHA. THE POTIONS. Are awesome!!! What liquid do ...MASHA. THE POTIONS. Are awesome!!! What liquid do you steep the "slow-brewing elixir for lowered inhibitions and reduced internal chatter" in? Is that vodka, too? Because I NEED some of that stuff.<br /><br />OK... OK... there's a site called GodHatesGoths.com? That makes me want to go dye my hair black, pronto. And maybe get a nose piercing. As for the God I've been taught to believe in, I think he has a special place in his heart for Goths... a loving place. My most memorable student in all my days of youth ministry was a six-foot-three-ish trenchcoat wearer who claimed he didn't fear anything and laughed in my face when I suggested he give God a chance--but he shared his earbuds with me so we could listen to Richard Marx together, spent hours in my art session drawing alchemy symbols, and, the last time I saw him, gave me the warmest, sweetest goodbye hug ever. I treasured that boy. He's in my heart and prayers for life. I suspect he'd done and thought a lot of things that God might fairly loathe--haven't we all--but there's no way in hell that God had anything less than a father's tenderness for that beautiful, broken, beloved young man.<br /><br />*takes deep breath, swallows hard*<br /><br />I'm glad you find that site humorous; I think that's the best response. :)<br /><br />I love your portrayal of the Snape/Lockhart dynamic in the Dueling Club scene. That whole section is a lot of fun to read.<br /><br />I agree with you about Fawkes' name, though I liked the ugly hatchling, maybe because it felt believable. Also, cheers on writing a nicely balanced paragraph about whether to give the books to children. There need to be more of those on the internet. Says someone who usually overcompensates for the anti-Potter frenzy by being a little too unequivocal about the books' awesomeness. ;)Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.com
