Whoops! Sorry, I hadn't realized you knew the city, Lady Lee. Good luck with the French language, then. Take care!

Lady Lee- sorry you got off to a stressful start. However, once you've got all the particulars sorted out, I'm sure that you'll love Montreal. It's one of the nicest cities I've ever visited. Good luck with your situation, and be well.

Valis, Dr. Bronner was a real guy, and a few years ago, I called a phone number that was on the soap bottle. Dr. Bronner himself answered! We chatted for a couple of minutes, I told him his product was great, and he told me it could help us save the world, if we used it properly (Dilute! Dilute! Dilute!). As I recall, Doc B. had a pretty thick accent, maybe German(?) A couple of years ago, I heard that he died, unfortunately. The bottles are still pretty good reading, though, and the almond scent is nice in my bath, though not in my hair. For that I use John Frieda's Brilliant Brunettes line of products.

I don't think I have much to add to what's already been said here. I was dunked two days after I turned 12. Hang on, it's my baptismal anniversary TODAY!!! F**k, 24 years ago today, Insomniac was a twelve-year old girl, making a lifelong commitment to a god she'd never spoken directly to, in a freaking horse trough in the basement of an assembly hall. I was too young to drive a car, vote, drink, get married, sign a lease, join the military, make love, hold down a job, or to say no to what I was being pushed into. In the pictures taken that day, I look like what I was, a child. But hey, I was old enough to dedicate myself for all eternity to a god who stood by and watched as his own son was tortured to death. So now that some years have passed and I've ceased to accept everything I was told, and I'm trying to be a good person who has a real relationship with her Creator, one not based on all the lies I was told before, I've lost my friends and family who are still on the inside. They won't talk to me because I've turned away from the "truth", and since I was dunked, it's irreversible unless I come crawling back to a faith that was never truly my own, and accept their hateful lies as truth again.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm feeling raw about it today.

Fluent American-English, with a smattering of French, Spanish, Greek, and Latin, mostly just enough to order food, ask for the restroom, and swear.
I'm great at picking up phrases from other languages, and have an ear for pronunciation, but little patience for learning the entire language; English is the only language spoken in my area, so I would not get much chance to practice anything else I'd learned.

Country Girl, the Texas boy in question had the most beautiful blue eyes, and his initials tattooed on his hand. To this day, I wish him all the love and happiness in the world, as he deserves it.

Well, I bought myself a two-door car. I listen to worldly music. I date a worldly man...without a chaperone!! Sometimes, I confess, I even let him kiss me on the lips. I went to college, and I proudly attended my graduation. I cuss, I'm materialistic, I'm a feminist, I refer to my creator as "She", I told an elder that he had no earthly or heavenly authority over me, I registered to vote, I organize charity fundraisers, hang out in bars, play the lottery, hang out at apostate websites...
Good thing I don't believe in Armageddon anymore, or I'd be bumming.

Cheech- in '85, I was jailbait. By '88, I was engaged to one of the Texas boys. Where were you when I was a single adult?!?

*sigh*
I guess I have a one-track mind. At the assemblies, I would get comfy in my chair and settle in to watch the honeys (all the while pretending to take notes.). We had some fine looking men at the assemblies I attended, and I would endlessly compare them: best hair, best walk, best butt, cutest overall, etc. In Montreal, we had lots of "mini-assemblies" within the one dome, to accommodate all the different languages spoken; when I got bored, I'd wander over to check out the French-Canadian guys, or the Greek boys, or the Spanish speaking brothas- it was like a buffet of hot, sweet babes.
Oh, and don't get me started on the sexalicious guys in Texas, where they raise some of the purtiest boys in the world. There was this one guy from India at the Dallas convention...I just could not for the life of me concentrate on the talks that year.
