Ask Countesss

[Miss Friendship]

Is life an illusion?

All the time. It is something totally different than what we usually perceive it to be.

Do what color do you tend to wear most?

Black.

Did you know I planted a bomb in your house?

After the turnip landed on our roof this morning, I was suspicious of something.

Who says you don't?

Because your weather is different than mine.

Waylllllllll, I find it a bit CORNY.

That is UNPARDONABLE. >____>

Cause Anne of Green Gables?

Nope. I just like it. Is that an option?

Why?

They dressed funny, aaaaand I'd far rather live now.

Why bring more kids into a world where there are so many who need to be adopted out of abusive situations?

Good question. I want to help those children. But there's something about being the cause of a brand new person, who wouldn't have seen life without you, that's beautiful.

Do you think you are a wise person?

In some areas, I am apparently far beyond my years. But all round, no. I make so many mistakes... every day. I'm not wise.

What do you need to improve upon in your life and in your actions?

I need to have more love, and more self control, self restraint.

Who do you want to be more like, besides Jesus?

There's no one. I just tend to pick certain attributes from certain people, and there is not one person who represents all of those. I've learned that idols will change and will eventually disappoint.

Do you tithe?

Sometimes.

Do you give anything to homeless people, and if so, what?

This year it was soup, and some warm socks, and a bag of other stuff that I don't remember. <<from our church to the homeless. Personally, I've only ever given my blanket to a homeless man who was sleeping under a bridge and really cold.

What is the last thing that made you angry?

A person.

Do you like gardening?

What do you lay awake thinking about, at night?

My problems, and worrying about my future.

Why have you been staying up later, recently?

Because there's been nothing going on life-wise, so I don't do anything all day long that actually will make me tired.

What is your favorite specific subject to debate

War and violence.

What is the last thing you ate?

Lunch meat by itself.

How often would you buy Starbucks or etc., if you had the money and WERE ALLOWED?

Whenever I'd feel like it. Which is always unpredictable.

Do you find it frustrating at your age, that your parents control you so much?

Yes, but it's expected.

[Dom]

Because your weather is different than mine.

Oooh, aren't you a smart little cookie.

Waylllllllll, I find it a bit CORNY.

That is UNPARDONABLE. >____>

Nope. I just like it. Is that an option?

I will allow it. Just this once.

They dressed funny

Um, wouldn't YOUR KIND dress the same no matter what century it was?

A person.

So mysterious. I BET IT WAS A BOYYYY.

worrying about my future.

Why so?

What else worries you? What do you imagine your life will be like in ten years? Is there a certain age you feel would be good to get married at? What kind of guy do you want to marry? Do you want to have kids right off the bat, or is that one of those blessings you'll leave up to God in the absence of birth control? What are your feelings on abortion? What do you think mine are? Name three areas in which you lack self-control. Have you ever gotten one of those giant pixie stix at a candy store where you fill it up with all different flavors at a PIXIE DUST STATION?!

...I switched to Regis, my delicate sensibilities couldn't handle that friggin' neon green today.

Dom

[Miss Friendship]

Um, wouldn't YOUR KIND dress the same no matter what century it was?

Not exactly. They still adopted some of the trendy colors which were awful *throws up* aaaaand all the girls made their dresses extremely short.

So mysterious. I BET IT WAS A BOYYYY.

It wasn't.

Why so?

When one is reconsidering all her cultures beliefs, and wanting to go farther than girls in her circumstances normally go, one worries.

What else worries you?

Getting a job.

What do you imagine your life will be like in ten years?

Probably married. I'll just accept that normally people end up there, no matter how noble and lofty their goals and intentions are.

Is there a certain age you feel would be good to get married at?

25.

What kind of guy do you want to marry?

Someone who loves God more than anything else in the world, and that is shown in every aspect of his life. And can I get a serious and humorous guy at the same time?? Oh, oh, and someone who understands my visions and dreams and lets me pursue them, and help him find his visions and dreams at the same time. *feels like she is ordering a husband from Dom's drive through*

Do you want to have kids right off the bat, or is that one of those blessings you'll leave up to God in the absence of birth control?

It all depends on when I want children, and whether or not my husband will allow birth control......

What are your feelings on abortion?

It's sad. I don't know why people have to murder special little infants, and squash life. It's just plain selfish normally... or society has lied to them and made the mothers feel vulnerable. That's sad too.

What do you think mine are?

Hmmmmmm

Name three areas in which you lack self-control.

1. My tongue. 2. I sleep too much. 3. I just don't fast very well... at all. (Not food, other things)

Have you ever gotten one of those giant pixie stix at a candy store where you fill it up with all different flavors at a PIXIE DUST STATION?!

No.

...I switched to Regis, my delicate sensibilities couldn't handle that friggin' neon green today.

What do you think of the big bold check marks that are wayyyy more visible than little ice cream cones?

[Dom]

all the girls made their dresses extremely short.

Oh? Isn't that against some scripture, or no? I have a feeling there's a LOT left to the imagination, in scripture.

When one is reconsidering all her cultures beliefs

Are you? Do extrapolate.

wanting to go farther than girls in her circumstances normally go

You do know that means something else, RIGHT?

Probably married. I'll just accept that normally people end up there

haha Is that so?

*feels like she is ordering a husband from Dom's drive through*

Would you like a six-pack with that?

whether or not my husband will allow birth control......

"Allow?" Oh your marriage is going to be so healthy.

What do you think mine are?

Hmmmmmm

Cop-out!

Not food, other things

SUCH AS?

What do you think of the big bold check marks that are wayyyy more visible than little ice cream cones?

They're equally visible to my keen eye.

Do you believe the husband is the head of the household and has final say in all decisions? What if the husband is not following scripture? Do you believe in divorce, and if so, under what circumstances? What would you do if you and your husband disagreed on how to discipline your children, and you were ALREADY married and the kids were already popping out? (And don't say you wouldn't marry someone who had different beliefs in this area...just pretend he changed his mind once he was in the actual situation. ) Do people regularly tell you that you have self-control issues, or did you come upon that little discovery yourself? Have you ever had biscotti? Do you like other forms of caffeine or just coffee? How old do your siblings have to be to drink coffee? What is your most-hated "house rule"? What do you put on toast? Have you ever been berated in public? Have you ever been lost?

Dom

[Miss Friendship]

Oh? Isn't that against some scripture, or no? I have a feeling there's a LOT left to the imagination, in scripture.

Hah. Modesty is in scripture, but no specific guidelines that I know of. I just fancy that long sweeping dresses looks more womanly than short mini skirts on Anabaptists.

Are you? Do extrapolate.

Cultures beliefs as in little things that the culture has adopted that aren't necessarily scriptural beliefs.

You do know that means something else, RIGHT?

That it means instead of getting married and raising kids, doing mission and helping the suffering which is FARTHER than most girls in my place in life do. Your mind is so polluted.

haha Is that so?

......................

Would you like a six-pack with that?

..... I thought it wasn't about looks.

Cop-out!

Fine. I'll give this a shot so then I can become the brunt of your torture after I'm WRONG.
You believe a woman should be able to choose murder or life because it's her baby.

SUCH AS?

Internet fasts and such.

Do you believe the husband is the head of the household and has final say in all decisions?

Somewhat.

What if the husband is not following scripture?

I am still called to respect, honor and love him. And if he orders me to go against my conscience, I would disobey.

Do you believe in divorce, and if so, under what circumstances?

Jesus says divorce is never okay unless the spouse is living in constant adultery and fornication, and so to stay with that person is making yourself sin as well.

What would you do if you and your husband disagreed on how to discipline your children, and you were ALREADY married and the kids were already popping out?

I would OBEY him, and TRUST God to work out the details.

Do people regularly tell you that you have self-control issues, or did you come upon that little discovery yourself?

I realized it myself.

Have you ever had biscotti?

I don't think so.

Do you like other forms of caffeine or just coffee?

A few other things, yes.

How old do your siblings have to be to drink coffee?

Okay, so this is really frustrating. I had to wait till I was FIFTEEN EXACTLY. But now, everyone can have coffee whenever they please and my two year old little sister has it all the time. #firstbornproblems

What is your most-hated "house rule"?

Not being able to lock my bedroom door. (Except when getting dressed or something)

What do you put on toast?

If its my homemade bread, (which I despise because it's not very good toast, too soft and white, UGH) I put butter and jam on it to make it worth eating. If it's glorious store bought bread then I just do butter and enjoy it as long as possible.

Have you ever been berated in public?

Oh yes. Loved it.

Have you ever been lost?

Not very often, but yes. Mostly in stores, where I then proceed to wonder around and imagine my life of existing off of the streets until I find my parents. >______>

What would you do with a large tub of banana-and-broccoli flavored ice cream,
two dead cell phones,
three personalized coffee pots,
four strings of LED Christmas lights,
five cases of cassette tapes
?

[SirWhit]

*spits out water*

You changed your mind about Harry Potter?!!!

[TigerShadow]

When did you change your mind on that, and in what way?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Jesus says divorce is never okay unless the spouse is living in constant adultery and fornication.

What about cases of abuse?

[Miss Friendship]

What would you do with a large tub of banana-and-broccoli flavored ice cream,

Hmm, I'd use the ice cream as a reward for disobedience for my younger siblings. I would buy chargers for the cell phones, and give one to my friend. I'd hoard the coffee pots.... in the garage. I'd take the Christmas lights to church so everyone would know that I am a pagan. (not really) I'd use them for decorations for the dinner we are having. I'd give the cassette tapes to my Dad as he has an obvious collection.

*spits out water*

Ewww.

You changed your mind about Harry Potter?!!!

I did.... in a way.

When did you change your mind on that, and in what way?

We were having a discussion last night on the chat. Ox, Belle, kait, Court and I, that I remember. *hopes she didn't miss anyone* And it was the same old argument... I think this time I was asking if Phil. 4:8 matched the description of HP. After that we discussed if sinful things could happen in fiction and still be okay to read. Then it hit me how I adore the Pilgrims Progress and killing happens in there in a figurative sense, and killing is wrong. So if HP is just an allegory.... at least all the Christians here seem to accept it as such.... maybe it was the same. So I convinced myself. And shame on all of you, for not bringing that example up earlier.

Jesus says divorce is never okay unless the spouse is living in constant adultery and fornication.

What about cases of abuse?

I suppose that would be a good enough reason also. However, this is not mentioned in scripture as an exception. Although wait, why couldn't the spouse get a restraining order? And wouldn't the abusive spouse be taken to jail?

[Eleventh Doctor]

Those are all possible things to do but our justice system is not perfect, often times it's very hard to punish abusive spouses.

[Dom]

couldn't the spouse get a restraining order? And wouldn't the abusive spouse be taken to jail?

I'm sorry, you think it's okay to get a restraining order against your spouse, but not to divorce them? What the bloody heck is the difference? That is staying married by law only, not by action or intent or emotion. To me that spits in the face of marriage. You go on about eternal love but you think it's okay to get a restraining order against your spouse. REALLY?

Remember the context here. Getting a restraining order for an ABUSIVE spouse, so as to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. Divorce is saying "I no longer want to be married to you and I don't love you either." A restraining order is saying "for your own good and others safety, I have to do this." There is a difference.

[kait]

What is this blog of which you speak?

EDIT: I FOUND IT NEVERMIND.

New question:
Favorite frozen treat?

[Miss Friendship]

HOW? My Twitter?

Hmmmm, frozen yogurt.

[Dom]

Getting a restraining order for an ABUSIVE spouse, so as to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. Divorce is saying "I no longer want to be married to you and I don't love you either."

So you want to be married to an abuser? You love someone who breaks your children's bones?

Dom

[kait]

HOW? My Twitter?

*waggles eyebrows* Expert stalking, my dear. EXPERT STALKING.

Do you want to go to college?

[Miss Friendship]

So you want to be married to an abuser? You love someone who breaks your children's bones?

No and no. Why would you ask this?

*waggles eyebrows* Expert stalking, my dear. EXPERT STALKING.

Uh-huh.

Do you want to go to college?

I do actually. It hasn't become a dream until recently, but if I get a job I probably will be putting away money toward that. Since I hate debt.

[Tarol]

WHY DO YOU HAVE A DROWNING CHILD AS YOUR SIGNATURE?

[Miss Friendship]

Take a good look at that hand. ITS NOT A CHILDS.
