People are forgetting to get gifts. I keep forgetting it's Christmas. I dreamed that it snowed and all was right with the world. Where is my winter weather? Are my brand new snowboots for nothing at all? Do the sno-brums that are perpetually in my parents' cars and at every store mean nothing? Why can I see grass? Are the sleds waiting so patiently in the basement just meaningless hunks of plastic?
Where is MY December??? 😭
If about 2 billion people celebrate Christmas, and there is an average distance of 3 miles between their houses (accounting for crossing oceans and apartments), that's about 6 billion miles to travel that night. With the way time changes around the world, he basically has 24 hours to make it to every one. 6,000,000,000÷24=250 million mph. Adding that to travel time? Santa's got no chance.
No thankyou, we prefer to keep it how it is. Or we could be the followers of the way, like we were 2,000 years ago. That one sounded pretty cool.
I was Judas at the last supper and instead of Jesus saying the whole “body to bread, blood to wine” speech, he just sang the entire Neon Genesis Evangelion intro, word for word, and I refused to betray him.

I THOUGHT JUNE WAS OVER
3-5 inches of rain have fallen in the past 48 hours
The Internet at my school was down
Water leaked into a room through a place where the roof was level with the floor
It is POURING out there
It feels ominous and I don't like it
The southern half of the state is getting DELUGED
Bodies of water are flooding
Oh YEAH it's DECEMBER it shouldn't even be RAINING rn it should be SNOWING
Pray for new Hampshire we need it 😭

The funny thing about church Christmas songs is that the radio version are all wrong. The people singing think 'oh it's a religious song so it's slow' and that is just not true. There are ones that they sing just as slow as they should be- like o holy night- but Christmas is a time of REJOICING. Most of the hymns for it are pretty upbeat. They're not exactly really fast, but it still drives me crazy hearing 'haaaaaark the

Like c'mon go tell it on the mountain has the same beat as the 12 days of Christmas

Happy 75th human rights day!!! 75 years ago today, the universal declaration of human rights was signed. Let's keep working towards its being followed everywhere. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Did you know you can play uno with normal playing cards? Just use the suits as colors, and they already have numbers. Assign the special powers like +2 or reverse to the face cards, and use the joker as a wild since it doesn't have a suit. My usual assignments are:
King: +4
Queen: +2
Jack: reverse
Ace: skip

Luigi is looking at a bush and Mario is cooking something. Toad says 'Well it's not like he forgot everything. Amnesia doesn't really work like that.'
(To peach and Mario) 'But what do I know? I'm just 2 toads in a lab coat. The toad on the bottom says 'Hello! You know... Smells are a powerful trigger for memories.' and then, on top of Mario cooking again, 'why not try a scent from your childhood?'
Luigi is looking at a bush again. Blurry, black-and-white Mario shouts 'Luigi! Dinner time!' and Luigi looks at a name tag that says 'My name is Luigi.'
Luigi goes inside and Mario sits him down in a chair in from of some spaghetti and meatballs. Luigi says 'This smells just like my Mama's!' Mario says 'I used ricetta della Mama!' Luigi asks 'How did you get my Mama... ma... ma... ma... ma... ma... ma...'
Luigi looks like he has a headache and a montage of past images goes by: Mario and Luigi getting carried by a stork, them in their animal costumes dancing together, Luigi holding a rope for Mario, and Mario and Luigi riding the same kart in mariokart, all with little yellow and green translucent toads and stars and green translucent eyes, nose, and mustache in the center.
A picture of little Mario and Luigi cheering as (probably) their mother takes the lid off some spaghetti.
Luigi yells 'Mario!' and Mario yells 'Luigi!' and they hug and cry.

"What am I supposed to put on the slides? No one lives in New Brunswick. No one cares about New Brunswick. All I have is the bay of Fundy."
Have I ever had a unique experience
Why are people mean?
Like we're all just trying to live in a fallen world. Just be nice and build someone up. It doesn't take that much effort to compliment someone. Takes even less to not insult them.
Even if they're not being nice to you, that doesn't mean you have to reciprocate that treatment. Answer meanness with kindness. 'Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.' (Can't remember the reference on that one.)
Do you get anything out of being mean? Or are you just trying to fill a void? (God fills that void by the way)
Let's all try to be nice to each other and see how it goes. I think it'll be great.
Coming back to Tumblr after months like 'ah, my old friend.'
Anyways this morning the pastor was on fire that dude has some God-given talent
Talking about churches getting corrupted from the inside and having the courage not to compromise on your beliefs, even if society says things like same-sex marriage and premarital sex are ok
It was fire honestly
Coward, that sounds like a perfect weekend
Ayo this is kinda weird but I need to spread the word. In the book of revelation, in the Bible, it says we cannot know the day or the hour that Jesus will return, but I does give us a few things that need to happen first.
The Euphrates river will dry up (has happened)
Evil will increase in the earth (I'd say it is)
The nations of the world will rise up against Israel (this one makes me think we've got a few years left)
And we'll all be under one world government (I think there are more but I don't know them)
If the rapture comes and you're not ready, you're gonna go to a not-so-good place I think you know the name of, and you don't have forever. You can't get to heaven instead by being a good person. Even one sub is too many. The one and only way to get there is through Jesus. He came to Earth as a human and died for our sins on a cross, then rose again three days later and defeated death. The only way for a human to get to heaven is by deciding to trust that that really happened, that Jesus was the son of God, to accept that you're a sinner, and to accept the free gift of life and heaven from God. I know I'm not the best with words, but God is God, so maybe he can use this post. Try a local church. There's a really good Bible app called youversion and a website called gotquestions that can answer any question about the Bible. And there's also something in the Bible called the Romans road:
Romans 3:23 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.'
Romans 5:8 'but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'
Romans 6:23 'for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
Romans 8:1 'there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 10:9 'that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.'
Please listen guys I don't want anybody to go to hell

About to be a sophmore and I still have the same crush
How did I go through preschool, elementary, and middle school, and never have a single crush that whole time, and then a month after starting freshman year, I suddenly have a gosh dang massive crush on a boy I've already known for 2 years?
Also help we made eye contact offstage during play practice and I broke it off 😭

While that seems like an obvious observation, not enough people talk about it, either on this site on anywhere else. But yeah, the Bats are a polyglot household. And for those that grew up speaking more than one language, we all know the mayhem that brings.
You know the "spanglish" and "portenglish" that we create? It's on another level at the Wayne residence. Conversations switch languages every sentence, for their dialect of gibberish to anyone outside of it.
For example, the conversation goes: English -> Spanish -> Swahili -> Aramaic -> Mandarin -> Portuguese -> Patuá (Macanese Patois) -> Romani -> Navajo -> Kryptonian -> Coptic -> Arabic -> Doric Greek (Greek from Sparta) -> Griko (Greek dialect in Italy) -> Cherokee -> Vietnamese -> Nahuatl -> Hebrew -> Back to English
Also, they switch languages depending on what they're cooking and proceed to shout it across the kitchen. The loudest The Latin ones and Arabic.
Even sign language is multilingual. The family has their version of it (created by Cass, which uses more body language and movements that show things and feelings instead of words), but they switch between American, British, French, New Zealand, Irish, Brazilian, Maritime, Hong Kong, Inuit, Ka'apor, and even Plains Indian SL on the daily basis. It's so varied that for an outsider, it just looks like their gesturing half the time.
And honestly, I think it all started with an angry Bruce learning French and German from Alfred.
The Justice League and their personal policies on swearing
Superman: never ever, mostly due to getting his mouth washed out with soap for so much as 'dang' as a kid
Batman: he adjusts it to suit the audience,but it's VERY moderate even in purely adult company.
Wonder woman: found out about swearing during WWI, and swears when she thinks the situation deems it appropriate, no matter who's around
Flash: he'll go as far as s**t and no farther. Not on purpose, he just kinda doesn't.
Green lantern (Hal Jordan): cuss cuss cussity cuss
Martian Manhunter: "I believe most humans would deem it appropriate to say '****' in this context"
