"Once upon a time...."

Once upon a time there was a young woman who whilst in the first year of her PhD (at a time when she had little actual work to do), discovered a chat forum and slowly but surely fell deeply in love with it. As the months went on the relationship deepened and the woman and the forum came to understand each other more and more until at last the forum granted her the ultimate accolade... A shiny gold name.

Sounds like a happy end, does it not? Alas... the woman began the second year of her PhD and her work started in earnest, She could not spend as much time with the forum which she loved, and soon it began to forget her. Though she never forgot it, and visted it as often as she could. But the forum began to change beyond recognition, and could barely even remember the young woman. This caused the womans heart to break, and her mind to go so crazy that she began to write short stories about herself in the third person that has no point but only a moral....

work is evil!

It happens with age.

Ever notice why its usually old people attending church services?

They realise their own mortality and hate the thought that they'll just rot in the ground when they die, so turn to religion to save their souls.

My understanding is thus

Agnostics don't believe in god or a higher power but accept the possibility
Atheists don't believe in god or a higher power and don't accept the possibility.

Frankly i don't care care whether it's morally wrong or not, i've always wanted to get married in a beautiful building, although i think i'm slowly becoming more religious.

I tried on this one as well ---> [URL]http://www.pronuptia.co.uk/catalogue_item.php?type=Bridalwear&cat_id=13&item_id=52[/URL]

if you're agnostic its not morally wrong to marry in a church, only if you're atheist is it somewhat contradictary.

Grrr, i saw that but my computer was so slow loading up the page to edit you got there before me.

It's a Civil Wedding, at the same place as the reception. I didn't want to get married on a church after my conversion to Agnostic. It would feel right.

I'm still having a posh frock though :D
