@wordsmith Ahh, when I type your tag now I start typing Buddy instead of wordsmith!  I wanted to know because I am writing several scenes in my WIP that have Christians eaten by lions… its hard to write emotions during that time.

Why did you say it was impersonal?  What was so funny?

Did you know that in Perpetua’s diary (she was martyred in Roman Carthage in the arena) there is this Christian guy named Saturninus who wants to be attacked by every wild beast and suffer all the tortures in the arena he could so that his rewards in heaven would be greater.  What do you think of that?

It would be my wish to have a lion who kills me as soon as possible too. 😀

@catwing 😀 Yeah, I get it.

@ericawordsmith Yeah, burning is terrible.  One of the worst ways I can think of to die. You know, I have always felt sorrier for martyrs who were burned at the stake and had thier tongues cut out, partly because that would be so painful but also because they couldn’t sing.  Still, I have read about some of them who couldn’t sing raising thier hands or something after everyone thought they were long dead.  Truly incredible.

Wow.  Yeah, that gives my chills too!

I agree, its not helpful is someone wants me to cry, its more helpful if they offer a way to deal with it right then.  Unless someone died and they are crying too or something like that would be a bit different.  AHH, yes! music!  Thats my number one go to in pretty much any emotional situation (and plenty of other situations).  It helps me cope, it lessens the pain in a way that almost makes the pain sharper but still calms me, if you know what I mean.  Ecpecially if I am the one singing.  If I am singing, then I am not crying, even if I have tears running down my face.  Acting stuff out is the same way. And writing poetry lines about how I feel.

@anne-of-lothlorien I could NEVER STAND high heels!  Yuck and ouch!  Why do people even do it?

ALL YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!  Like, all my real friends are here!  I dont really have any friends that are not here.  I LOVE talking about this stuff with you!  So many people shy away from topics like this.  *tries to imagine my life without SE or KP* (And I probably would be crying a little right now except my family is around and in the room, so I am not. 😛 ) But seriously.
