But femme lesbians are okay, right?

Not only does Marvel have gay superheroes, but a gay superhero couple! Billy Kaplan and Teddy Altman are both on the Young Avengers, and they're adorable!

I'm pretty sure I have that torrent and #26 in that one doesn't work for me...I'm using Comic Book Reader, what're you using?

Ah, no I used Photoshop CS5.1, actually!

Re: Mischief follows in partisan Bible translations

Dredsina — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 03:29:06 -0000

Actually, coming from a former Mormon, the Joseph Smith translation is used -- it's in the footnotes and in the back of the Bible. Before the mainstream LDS church used it, there was widespread paranoia that that splinter group had edited JS's original words. After a church official examined the original manuscripts and the reformed church's Bible, it turns out they hadn't, so the main church started using it. But again, only in the footnotes and in the back of the book.

THOUGH I might like to add something. When I was in high school, we read parts of Job for my literature class. We all brought our own translations of the Bible, and I was quite content with my Mormon KJV. But as I was reading along while my teacher was reading from /his/ KJV, I was startled to find that some of my verses said completely different things from what he was reading, even though we were supposedly both reading the KJV. I was horrified, and looked it up online -- turns out my version had been conveniently modified to exclude any mention of a sort of a non-Christian underworld type thing that I can't quite recall the name of, and I really don't want to have to read the KJV and our Mormon Bible side by side to see where they diverge.

Anyway, point is I was scandalized.

Oh? And how do you propose I fix that? Please enlighten me. I'm a damn hard worker when I don't let my mind in the way, but the moment there's a doubt in my mind about my ability to do the work, I lose almost all ability to function. Doubt and anxiety steer my life. I've had SO much failure, so much failure in school, in personal management, that any attempt in it will cause me to well up in anxiety, guilt, doubt and fear. I've created in myself a phobia of school. I hate that I've been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder. It's become a death sentence for me. How do I fix my "addiction to escapism" or APD, as my psychiatrist has put it? I've never heard of therapy for that, for groups, for anything like that. Let's treat it like the addiction that you call it. Don't people who have addictions to things like gambling, narcotics, sex, alcohol, even video games, have rehab, groups or counseling to fall to? Where on earth am I supposed to find resources for addiction to avoidance? I've never heard of such a thing. My personal counselor, my psychiatrist, my therapy group, certainly aren't helping. Where am I supposed to go??

I tried that; I weaned myself off of pills and I was fine for quite a while, but I was thrown into a bad situation for four months where I wasn't able to control my anxiety, and...I don't have a concise way to describe my situation, but it was bad. I know I'll be put into a similar situation in the future, and I know I'll need pills then. Right now I don't think they're necessary, but they will be. And I think I may rather try out new pills in a safe environment than in one where I don't have emotional support.

Haha, you can only do that if you have a Disqus! Not all blogs tie Disqus in, and I don't get notified, so I'm glad I went back to check! The regular way to comment is to reply to a post when it shows up on your dashboard or to reblog it! YOU'RE LEARNING!

Hmghghmmrghrm I want to go into 3D animation, though, and most colleges that offer that are really expensive. A semester here is about $2,200 compared to DigiPen which is about $9,300. My dad's worried about the money, whether I'll be able to pay that. And the cost for housing in DigiPen is nonexistent because I'll just live at my house, but imagine the cost for all the computer programs I'll need. It's an awful atmosphere here at BYU, but I know if I choose off-campus housing rather than on-campus housing, and if I choose a place where I can get my own room, the social burden will certainly be lessened, though it'll still be a lot. And I know the moment it becomes too much for me, I'll collapse like a stack of cards because I don't deal with my anxiety very well. I have several months before I have to go back (I'll be done here at the end of April, and next semester for me starts in September), but I don't know if I'll be ready by then. I'm just at a loss at the moment.

I think I'll talk to my parents. I think they'll understand. And I need some good therapy when I get back because I clearly have a ton of problems I still need to work on.
