The Web Gets Religious

Published by Bea under Webbies

Mais no! I’m still here… Gawd… addiction! I was actually going through my list of reads and found this link to the Universal Church of the Interactive Network ;-) It’s an institution. They say “The average bible contains two thousand pages. The web has over two billion! Which do you think contains more true?” LOL.

You should go and read the directives for E-mail, Chats, Usenet and the Web in general. It’s basically about respecting the rights of others online. Makes sense, eh?

The Oven

Published by Bea under Life

Darn! It’s so hot in Montreal this evening… and I’m so tired… what the heck am I doing in front of the computer? Searching Google, with no success. I think I’ll hit the hay early today. Does anyone know if a bird can actually die of stress? A winged friend of mine died today.

Must. Sleep. Now. :sick:

Spread your Seeds!

Published by Bea under Media, Thoughts

I was watching this program in Life Network called “Out in the City“, where they feature gay couples who have come out of the closet and now are sharing their lives together. Quite interesting, especially because most of the stories are based here in Montreal, where the gay community sure is numerous.

Anyway, there was this couple of lesbians. One of them is trying to get pregnant to complete their happy family and they were checking a list of possible donors. Finally they decided over some italian guy who seemed to fill out their expectations. When they called the clinic where the sperm bank is, the person working there told them they had made a great choice. The guy is nice, fun, good looking and goes to the clinic to donate his sperm every single week…

Can I help you?

Published by Bea under Webbies

Bea + Portal + Refresh + Problem

That’s the last Google search leading to my site. I wonder who’s behind it… because maybe I can help? Are you having problems refreshing my links page? LOL! Anyway, I guess it is related to this post. I took my valeriana tea and I frankly don’t care about it anymore; just a little piece of advice for some people out there: Don’t be copycats, that’s not nice ;-)

From “How to say Joie de Vivre” (some French classes?), to “Screenshot of Colombian gang car” (gangs in Colombia don’t use cars, I’m afraid) and “44C tits” (huh??) —-> Thank you Google for referring my site. LOL!

Cocooning

Published by Bea under Life

Cocooning refers to the practice of retreating into the seclusion of one’s own home during leisure time for privacy or for the sake of diversion from humdrum official routine. Cocooning is the practice of nurturing one’s family life by spending leisure time in the home with one’s family. It is the valuing of family life and privacy above social contact and advancement. That’s me. A cocooner. I love being at home, more than anything else. And I will stop feeling bad for not being an entertainer.

Dog and Cat Diaries

Published by Bea under Funnies

I just woke up from a very long nap! My god! When I came back from work I was totally pooped after some good hours of sleep deprivation and landed on the bed as soon as I got home. I’m sure I will “hit the hay” again soon, but I received this from a guy in the office and thought it would be funny to share it with the pet lovers out there :-)

HORROR!

Published by Bea under News, Thoughts

A few months ago the world was shocked by the news of a 9-month-old baby girl who had been raped in Africa as part of the cultural belief that having sexual relationships with a virgin cures AIDS. This is unforgivable, horror, madness, total ignorance. The man who did it was sentenced for life just a week ago.

Well, it’s not the first or only time. I just read in a Colombian newspaper and a 1-Week-Old baby girl has been raped again. 1 Week Old! For Christ’s sake!!!! This is like the most horrible thing I’ve heard in a long time…

And you know what is even more horrible: 21.000 cases or rape against minors were reported in South Africa last year. Add that to the cases of rape and violence around the world… God!! Human kind has to go on its knees and ask for forgiveness. The ones who comit the crimes, the ones who allow it, the ones who don’t educate, the ones who decide to ignore all of this… :-(

God, please, just forgive us.

Thai and Laughter

Published by Bea under Life

I was kind of reluctant to go, but finally decided a little fun wouldn’t hurt and I joined some fellow bloggers and some montreal ladies for thai food at a really nice restaurant on West Island. We ate deliciously (is that a word?) and they made me laugh a little, while I just stayed quiet… My social skills suck! I’ve been alone for so long and interacting with so few people in real life that I feel I really don’t have much to say to others. That added to the fact that I’ve become extremely shy since I’m in Canada… But it was fun.

Anyway, it was good to meet an American friend. she’s really nice ladies and it’s just amazing how you can finally get together with someone you’ve known online for some time. Frankly speaking, it didn’t come as a surprise how nice she is, but looking at her face is something else.

After supper we went to another friend’s house for drinks and at midnight everyone went home. Thanks to the pal who drove me to the train station. I got home at 1:15 a.m. Walking alone on the street at that hour and knowing nothing will happen to you because you’re in a safe neighborhood is a feeling not everyone can enjoy. But, I’m definitely getting my drivers license… I don’t like to be a charity case of transport… LOL!
