turtlegirl I'm sure it would be. Most cultures tend to make their god's physical image someone they can respect, admire and understand.

turtlegirl If its something with great detail, I lay out a painting in pencil much as you would a paint by number. It helps me sort of keep what I want where I want it and give me a plan or guide.

emotional vegetarians

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 4 Aug 08

I've always thought I should be a vegetarian because it doesn't seem appropriate to eat something that was alive when we have other options. I mean it's not 4BC anymore. Plenty of people have healthy productive lives and never eat...

Is Ledger or Nicholson the Better Joker?

elmiko @elmiko (6630) • United States 8 Aug 08

First off the Dark Knight for me as a whole was a better movie than the 1989 batman movie with Nicholson in it as the Joker. The movie in 1989 for those who are too young was just called Batman and for me at the time was boring it...

turtlegirl Sometimes it seemed like Ledger was mimicing Nicholson's speech and expressions a little bit. It seems like Ledger's character had a bit more depth than Nicholson's to me. It led you to believe there were reasons for his warped personality and gave you a very...

turtlegirl I am in a relationship with a man who is 8 years younger than me. It is non-traditional but it is working. I think my last husband acted a little too old for me. I am better suited, in personality, for this new guy. At least for now :).
