They really weren't. My ex-boyfriend just convinced me they were. You know... I feel like he comes up a lot in my comments on this website, usually in a negative light. I wonder why... I can't wait to have a real Christian relationship. It's going to be so awful and good at the same time. This website will be where I turn to when I don't go straight to God. I mean. What. Hi.

Maybe it would be if I was into more objectionable stuff, but as it is the most hardcore thing I'm into is crime dramas. :P I could totally see this being me if I was into that stuff though. You know who does guilt me into throwing stuff away? Clean House. I feel guilty and start decluttering. Then Hoarders comes on and I realize my house isn't that bad so the guilty goes away. Hubby says it is hilarious to watch. Nope, this one actually isn’t me at all.

I just thought it was a beautifully drawn show with engaging plot and lovable characters and a great message. Then I went through this weird period where i felt convicted by its magic-ness. I hid it in my room somwhere, only to watch it again later once i had gotten over that. I delete innapropriate songs from itunes. I almost did this with my Boondock Saints DVD...couldn't do it. Love that movie. And Irish people. I have done this with Avatar: the last airbender (the tv show, not the crappy movie).

I've decided I've had enough, though; I like the music and movies I like, and I don't believe God expects me to throw these things out unless they SERIOUSLY become a problem [like someone who spends their entire paycheck on nothing but movies or an LOTR figurine or something.] Then again, there's some stuff that is obviously not good in any form, like extreme gangsta rap and triple X movies.

Not as good as Se7en, but a good one. The last time I got rid of music from conviction was (and it was maybe a good thing that I got rid of these anyway becasue they were crap.) after I graduated high school. Will Smith 'Big Willie Style' Weird Al 'Running With Scissors' Creed 'My Own Prison', and 'Human Clay' It was 1999 I was 17 so back off! Now I've got most of Bon Scott era of AC/DC on vinyl. Oh how the years change us. Good movie. Not as good as Se7en, but a good one.

Never did it again. "Don't think, just react on their statements" mentality. Made this BAAAD mistake once (at 19). Never did it again.
