I am a sinner.
I am a sinner.
I confess that I fall utterly short of God himself, who is the sole source and standard for morality. This is, I'm quite sure, the first correct step to any sound thinking about morality. That is why I have taken it, and declared my own sinfulness. But perhaps I'm wrong about this being the first step, despite my certainty: I am, after all, only a sinner.
(Incidentally, that last disclaimer - "I am, after all, only a sinner" should be attached to everything I say about morality, in this and all other posts. To make that explicit is one of the purposes of this post. But, for the sake of clear writing, I will almost always omit it in the future.)
Insofar as confessions go, I'm afraid this one is going to be pretty boring. I'm sorry to disappoint you if you were looking for salacious details. My sins are, I think, mundane. They're nothing you haven't heard of from the culture at large. To describe them in detail would be embarrassing to me and not particularly edifying to my readers. But my intent in saying this is not to trivialize or dismiss them: it is rather to explicitly acknowledge them, hopefully without having to spell out all the specifics. If you're confused, just pretend that I'm a murderer or something, without all the drama that would imply.
Again, I'm not trying to minimize my sins by calling them mundane or boring. Sin is sin. Just because I regularly commit them, or because everyone else also does the same, does not make them okay. The proper measure of my sinfulness is not against my personal baseline, or against my cultural background: it is against the standards of God himself. The fact that I've been acclimatized to sin does not make sin less sinful; if anything it only makes my situation more dire.
I'll not say that I'm "no better than anyone else", or that we are "all equally sinful". I have no means of measuring that - I am, after all, only a sinner. As far as I can tell, some of us are actually better or worse than others, but that's not particularly important. That's like a bunch of students who all failed a test arguing about who's smarter. To say that "we're all equally smart", or "nobody is better than anyone else here" in that situation may or may not be accurate. But if those words were actually spoken, I would strongly suspect that the speaker's motive was actually to alleviate their own feelings of inadequacy, or to deflect the accusation that they thought they were better than others, or to make everyone feel better by establishing failure as "normal". None of it would be an accurate assessment of the students' condition, which the statement purports to be. The true, accurate assessment, which the students need to hear but do not say, would be "we've all failed".
So my purpose in confessing that I'm a sinner is not to show that I'm no better than anyone else, or to deflect some possible accusation about being "holier than thou". The fact is that I have no idea if I'm better than anyone else (because I'm a sinner), but I do sometimes think that I'm "holier than thou" (because I'm a sinner). And that - the fact that I'm a sinner, before God - is far more important than any silly comparison that I can make with other people.
So you see, I ended up talking about other people, even as I was saying that this is about me and God. I'm not even sure if that's what I meant to do. Such are the pitfalls of being a sinner and trying to talk about sin: God's standards are perfect, and yet I must somehow talk about them in my sinful state.
Some would call that hypocrisy - to speak of God's standards, while still being a sinner. I'm not sure that this is a good definition of hypocrisy. Some have taken "hypocrisy" to mean something like "not practicing what you preach", but this is not the proper meaning of the word. "Hypocrisy" originally comes from the Greek word "acting", and it is actually the pretense of having a virtuous character that one does not actually possess. So, if I were to pretend to have met God's standards, then I would be a hypocrite. But if I admit that I have fallen short of them, while holding that these standards are good things that I ought to strive towards, then I am not a hypocrite.
Now that the definition is cleared up, which one applies to me? Doesn't admitting that I'm a sinner at least make me less likely to be a hypocrite in the second, more accurate sense? Ah - but I am guilty of hypocrisy in both senses of the word. For on the one hand, I always fall short of what I believe: I "preach" (or believe) what is good and right - God and his perfect righteousness - and yet I am a sinner. I feel no additional guilt over this beyond the fact that I am already a sinner, because it is good and right that I should believe in God and his righteousness. Given that I'm a sinner, it is better that I at least believe in the Perfect Good, rather than abandon that belief to lower my standards down to my sinful actions.
And on the other hand, I am also a hypocrite in the second, more accurate sense, of pretending to be more righteous than the sinful sinner that I actually am. For at times, I mislead people into thinking that I'm better than what I know myself to be.
But what I am not is the perfect man: one who lives up to the perfect standard and doesn't pretend otherwise. Again, this is the most important facet of this discussion; the exact nature of my hypocrisy is merely a footnote to the much more important fact that I am a sinner, period. I am not the perfect man; I have utterly fallen short of God's standards.
Apart from these "everyone does it" or "at least you admit it" excuses above, there is another part of me that tries to justify my sins, by saying "well, you can't help it". But that's a lie. The fact of the matter is that there were plenty of times when I could have chosen differently, when I knew I had the power to choose good rather than evil, and yet I still actively chose the wrong thing. In those times I did not fall short in physical willpower or sufficient knowledge, but rather in moral character.
There is also the argument that says "well, sometimes you make a mistake. Some accidents are bound to happen." But some of my sins are not "accidents". They are not something that just randomly happens because of an unfortunate combination of circumstances. At times I planned to commit some sins then executed the plan. I chose to commit these sins. I am a sinner. I don't just occasionally mess up; I AM messed up.
But then again, another voice whispers "well who can blame you for merely choosing what's easy or natural or pleasurable?" But this is also a lie. Some of my sins have consisted of deciding to sin explicitly in the face of knowing that it will bring me pain and hardship. It was completely irrational of me, from nearly any perspective. The only explanation that I have is that I am a sinner.
And lastly, because the Devil is nothing if not nauseatingly repetitious, he whispers "well at least you're not like THOSE people, the ones who are REALLY sinful". But I don't know that. I'm pretty sure that I'm capable of great evil. The circumstances just have to be right. Under a different moon, who can say whether I might have been a convict rotting in jail, and another person teaching Sunday school in my stead? I only know that greater events than that have been decided on a minuscule turning of circumstances.
All that, then, is my understanding of my sins. May God have mercy on my soul, for I've decided to talk about his perfect morality in spite of all that.
I need Christ.

Indeed, comparing one sinner to another isn't all that useful. One of my characters struggled for a while with this; she had been treated abominably by someone who should have loved her, and she went through life harbouring a grudge against him - considered him to be reprehensible, hating his memory (he was long dead by this time). The realization that, in God's eyes, she was just as evil as he... was a big moment of character development for her. :) Okay, so I'm seeing this in terms of narrative, rather than true human emotion, but she was one of my characters after all... :) The thing is, I wasn't really "controlling" the story there in any way. I just reported honestly on what I heard her saying. And then singing "Let it go... can't hold *me* back any more", once she understood that forgiveness released her, not the one who'd wronged her.ReplyDelete
Anyway. I was going somewhere with this. But all I have left here is: I'm a sinner, too. So is literally every one of my characters, so is every person I meet. We ALL need Christ.

Crossing over this same territory, the first white settlers entered Fulton County by wagon or river. Whether they came from the East, the South, or even Europe, the well-worn paths were traveled by many hardy immigrants into this new land.
The first known permanent settler to Fulton County was John Eveland, who came with his family in the spring of 1820. The following year, Ossian Ross came to the area as the first War of 1812 veteran to claim his quarter section of Military Tract Land. Ross also founded Lewistown, named after his eldest son Lewis. In 1823 Lewistown became the county seat of the newly created Fulton County. The terms "upstate" and "downstate" began to be used when people from Chicago had to come to down to Lewistown to conduct business, attend court, vote, and obtain marriage licenses.
The present Lewistown courthouse is the fourth to serve the county. The first courthouse, built of logs in 1823, was in use when much of northwestern Illinois was under jurisdiction of Fulton County. A wooden frame building replaced it in 1830. The third courthouse, built of brick in 1836, had four stone columns. Stephen A. Douglas served as a Circuit Court Judge in this courthouse. On August 17, 1858, Abraham Lincoln stood between its columns to deliver the much quoted speech, "Return to the Fountain." On December 13, 1894, the courthouse was burned to the ground by an arsonist, an incident recounted in the poem, "Silas Dement," in Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology. Two large columns from the courthouse survived the blaze and were erected in Lewistown's Oak Hill Cemetery as part of the Civil War Monument.

Kate Beckinsale smokes a cigarette on shopping trip with her husband
Kate Beckinsale has a smoking habit since she was a teenager.
It is seemed that the famous actress does not want to give up the smoking habit. The Underworld star has quitted smoking for three years when she was pregnant with her daughter well over a decade ago.
The English actress at the age of 39 was caught today smoking in her car after a shopping trip in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
The Van Helsing celebrity, being with her husband and film director Len Wiseman, was going to the car with many bags.
Kate Beckinsale wore casual clothes. She was dressed in a white singlet top and denim shorts, a grey cardigan draped over her shoulders.
She wore three-quarter-length leather boots with clasps, dark sunglasses and her long hair was gathered in a ballerina bun.
Kate and her husband had great many of shopping bags from the Brentwood Country Mart and a big bag from designer of high-quality clothes, James Perse.
From 1995 until 2003 Kate Beckinsale had relationship with actor Michael Sheen during 8 years. They have a daughter, whose name is Lily Mo Sheen. She was born in London in 1999.
It was just that period when Kate gave up smoking for three years.
Kate's relationship with Michael Sheen ended in early 2003, after the filming of Underworld.
Beckinsale had convinced director Len Wiseman to cast Sheen in the film but, while filming, she and Wiseman fell in love. At that time Wiseman was married.
Richard Beckinsale, Kate's father, who was as well an actor, died when she was five, and she attributes her early smoking addiction to the trauma.
Last year Kate said to The Sun in an interview that she did not have a good time in her teenage years.
'I loathed being a teenager. If something traumatic happens when you are very young, it takes a long time to get used to it', she said.
At the age of 16 the actress takes up smoking and according to her this habit is found to be very difficult to quit.

The garden designed by Swedish landscape architect Ulf Nordfjell was praised for managing to merge clean, crisp Scandinavian lines with pretty English elements.
The "iconic modern garden" is expected to set a trend for more minimalist designs in gardens around Britain and launch a global career for Mr Nordfjell.
It is the first time the Swede has won the prestigious award, after narrowly missing out at Chelsea Flower Show a few years ago.
"I am extremely happy but I am sad that it is over," he said. "I have made so many nice friends and met nice people. There are not many people who get Best in Show so I am very honoured."
The judges described the garden as "atmospheric and full of contrasts" with a real sense of theatre.
It is the second time the Daily Telegraph has won Best in Show in three years after winning the award in 2006 with Tom Stuart-Smith. Arabella Lennox-Boyd won gold for the newspaper last year.
There were slightly fewer show gardens at this year's show after a number of sponsors pulled out because of the recession. The remaining gardens tended to focus on simple designs to fit in with the economic climate.
Only two other show gardens won gold this year. The Laurent-Perrier Champagne garden, a classical design by Luciano Guibbilei using hornbeam and yew hedges to recall the relationship between architecture and gardening, and a simple perfume garden by Laurie Chetwood and Patrick Collins.
However the Daily Telegraph design stood out for its innovative use of the Swedish aesthetic in familiar British setting.
Other big names at Chelsea such as Tom Stuart-Smith, Christopher Bradley Hole and Andy Sturgeon have all used modernist design but none with the same Scandinavian skills and confidence of this year's winner.
Mr Nordfjell deconstructed the English cottage garden and rebuilt it along more modernist lines. Rather than a picket fence he chose a conservatory filled with modern Swedish furniture and rather than a jumble of flowers like hollyhocks he chose sculptural plants like irises.
The professional ceramicist, who is also trained as a biologist, used blocks of granite and a clear crystal canal to break up the main garden of native Swedish flowers and soft grasses, while referencing England with a few roses and lavender.
It is the designer's second time at Chelsea, following his gold medal-winning debut appearance in 2007 with his garden "A Tribute to Linnaeus''. Although he has been well known in Sweden for over a decade, this will make him an international name.
Stephen Lacey, gardening columnist, who helped to bring the gardener to Chelsea said it was good to see a "master of the craft" show how modernism is done.
"A lot of modern British gardening today is gimmicky. To see a master of modern design at work is an inspiration to see how gardening can move on. "
"There are not many designers in Britain who understand how to do a modern garden. It is really good to see. He is a real master of the craft and shows how to move gardens on."
Mr Lacey said everyday gardeners might be inspired to mix modern design with English horticulture.
"People think it is quite hard to do modern gardens. This might inspire them because it does not look like an urban garden. You can see this in a country setting."

text: I stumbled upon the title of the second book in the series (The Weed that strings the Hamgman's Bag) and was intrigued, so I decided to give the first one a chance even though I rarely read mystery or detective novels. Not without some trepidation, though, because I feared that I might be severely annoyed by a story centred around and even told from the POV of a pre-teen, know-it-all, first-person-narrator. Images of an insufferable Episode One Anakin Skywalker flooded my mind and made me squirm in my seat in an attempt to get away from these mental images. And all that before I had even read a single sentence of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. That didn't bode well.But Lo and behold! I was oh so pleasantly surprised. Flavia de Luce is nothing like that. Yes, she's very smart and she knows it. One might accuse her of being a Mary Sue if it wasn't for her "evil" older sisters and her absent-minded father, who constantly make her doubt her own worth – but never for a long time. :o) She gets totally absorbed in her sleuthing, but also easily distracted by plotting acts of revenge on her sisters at the same time. Her observations are almost uncanny in their precision. She knows things an 11 year-old, even one with exceptionally much time, a vast library and her own laboratory at her disposal, could hardly know. She might have a touch of Asperger's if it wasn't for her easy way to get along with the inhabitants of the nearby villages (the members of her own family being the exception) whom she easily manipulates into spilling the beans to a seemingly innocent and completely harmless child. Flavia's narration is adorable; her elaborations on her misadventures and failed attempts at revenge on her sisters are charming. She's certainly walking a thin line between being annoying and droll, but has not managed to put me of yet. With Flavia at the centre, the world of Buckshaw and Bishop's Lacey is an enjoyable place to visit, with a lot much more hidden beneath the surface layer. I'm looking forward to reading many more novels set there and finding out more about the de Luce family history.

Light and tasty relish that can be put on brats, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, tortilla chips and pretty much everything you eat from a grill. The coolness of the veggies works with the citrus flavors to create a dynamic contrast of hot and cold on the tongue.
A bunch of hungry tailgaters (10-20)
Juice from 2 limes
2 tomatillos (or green tomatoes)
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 to 2 banana peppers, finely chopped
2 roasted Poblano peppers
1 roasted yellow pepper, skinned and finely chopped
1 Serrano Chile, seeded and chopped
4 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
4 ears of corn, freshest available
1 Tbs. olive oil
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Mix together the first eight ingredients, and pulse briefly in food processor to get a fine chop; if you are tailgating, put mixture in container and finish prep at the tailgate.
2. Roast the corn on the grill.
3. Let cool slightly, then using a large, heavy knife, slice down the cobs to remove the kernels.
4. Add the roasted corn and olive oil to the pepper mixture; salt and pepper to taste.
5. Toss well to mix.
6. Serve while still slightly warm, or leave to cool, cover, and chill for up to 2 hours.

We walked into a public bathroom yesterday and my four year old son said, "They shoulda put an arrow going down."
It made me feel proud of my masking taped toilet lid project. I wanted to be proactive in helping focus my boys' attention (and penises) downward. So, I created a large green masking tape arrow on the seat of the toilet to hopefully guide their eyes and pee into the toilet. My boys loved the crafty neon green addition. Apparently, my youngest thinks other public restrooms should incorporate this strategy.
The majority of the time when you walk into one of our bathrooms, you will smell the faint, yet, distinct and strong smell of urine. I have three boys who love to have "pee battles." That's right. They use their "light sabers" to have urine fights. I've caught them in the act. In airport bathrooms, mall bathrooms, bookstore bathrooms and obviously, in every single bathroom of our house.
You have to pick and prepare to lose certain battles in parenting all boys. I actually have a hard time not laughing sometimes when one of them burps or says the word "poop" or when they are all happily running around naked before their bath. Which lasts around an hour or more. I have always used the bath as a pack n' play of sorts. Except, they're not itching to get out. Quite the opposite, they love the potion shops and other crazy games they play in the luke-cold water. The reality of the situation (99% of the time) is that I am utterly, undeniably and completely in love with these boys that destroy my house, break A LOT of stuff, spill drinks constantly and urinate everywhere. Well, except into the toilet.
Their energy is fascinating. Limitless. Inspiring. Somebody needs to find a way to bottle it up and put it into a Starbucks drink. The three of my boys have devised an efficient brotherly system where energy is neither lost nor gained but constantly distributed back and forth between one another. It's hard for them to stay still during meal times. Just the other night, we had a dinner time display of everyone's muscles. I was honored that my boys thought my biceps were enormous as they asked in admiration, "how did they get SO big?" They're really not that big, but my biceps didn't mind the flashing lights from the little boy paparazzi. My six year old boys immediately got up from the dinner table and began doing push-ups and chin-ups. Then they quickly asked me while flexing, "do they look bigger, Mom?" Not yet, boys. Not yet.
They can be rough and tumble, wrestling and throwing dodge balls everywhere kind of boys, but they also have the most sensitive, beautiful and kind-hearted, forgiving spirits. They tell me, "I love you, Mom" in the van while we're driving or at the dinner table or while we're sitting on the couch. At all times of the day. They never cease to amaze me with the fragile thoughts that tumble delicately out of their mouths, like my four year old asking me, "Will I see God when I die? Does God wike (like) hugs?" I'm pretty sure God loves hugs, I told him. Big, bear hugs which happen to be my boys favorite kind to dish out.
Random folks at the grocery store and even people that know me well ask me all the time, "are you going to try for a girl?" There are so many ways to respond to this but most of my responses would be too lengthy and passionate. Of course there are moments when I think, "it would be fun to have a daughter." Like the other night at Taylor Swift when I saw a bazillion cute excited little girls. Or sometimes when I'm hormonal and nobody will listen to me and my boys keep wanting to barge in the bathroom….that smells like, you guessed it, urine. The awesome thing, sometimes camouflaged by the chaos, is that my boys always have this contagious zeal for life. For exploring. For creating. For nurturing. For collecting. For laughing. And I wouldn't trade this excitement for anything. Ever.
There's a saying, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth." Also known as counting your blessings. I'm beyond grateful for the three boys that call me "Mom," "MAAAAM", "Mommy," and "Mama!" And I know I'm not the only proud mom of all boys. So, please be thoughtful and don't ask a mom of boys if she's trying for a girl. Or don't look at all of her children and say in a pitiful tone, "ALL boys?…I feel sorry for you." Use that energy to feel sorry for starving, orphaned children or some other cause way more in need of your sympathy, not her. If she's like me, she would much rather you say something like, "Wow. Your biceps must be huge." Or, "your boys are beautiful." Or really anything else encouraging and kind.
Change that sour puss face and realize that ALL those boys are gifts of the greatest kind, blessings to be counted over and over again. And that's how they should be looked at and treated. Who knows? Someday soon you may be drinking a Starbucks latte with an extra shot of "little boy energy." Or better yet, maybe it will be The Roasterie that figures out a way to bottle up the pure boy awesomeness.

Maybe this verse means:
Todd recently decided he and the boys were in need of a boat! And a boat it was. Hours on Craigslist.com and with a little cash in hand they brought home this beauty.
The joys of a warm spring evening.
Now we are all going.
Giant Shadow!
Another day, Another Adventure!

*Make sure to check the blog on Father's Day for a chance to win a Lodge Double Play Reversible Grill Griddle for Dad!
Any day of the week if I were to ask my husband what he wants for dinner he would say steak. Men and steaks pretty much go hand in hand, so naturally, when I was putting together this Father's Day Gift Ideas (For The Kitchen) it only made sense to include a grill that would be perfect for making delicious "man-food". Not only is this Double Play Reversible Grill Griddle from Lodge the perfect surface to fry up a mean steak, it also doubles as a griddle when you flip it over to the other side. (I've also included a recipe below for a delicious steak that I made on the grill!) That means dad can also whip up some of his famous flapjacks, bacon and eggs for breakfast! The Double Play Griddle is extremely heavy duty. I'm not even joking. It's one sturdy piece! Probably because it's made from seasoned cast iron!
The Double Play Griddle fits right over two of your stove burners, making it a super easy and super convenient cooking surface! It's also extremely easy to clean, especially if you clean it right after you finish using it! One valuable lesson I've learned in the kitchen is not to let my pots, pans and other cooking and baking items sit for too long after I've cooked with them. Now, I clean them right after I'm finished with them and it makes cleanup super easy. It only took me 6 years to realize that!
So, this side here is the griddle side and it's especially useful for things like breakfast! We used ours to make some yummy pancakes and bacon!
But, in order to properly test out this bad boy I knew what I had to do. I had to fry up some steaks!
...And I had to give them the cool grill lines, of course! They turned out beautifully!
Grilled Rib Eyes with Creamy Brandy Mushrooms Recipe: {Print Recipe}

A discussion between me and Neko about To Heart/2. For contextual purposes of the first few lines, I shall explain that Neko has had a longstanding quest to get the original To Heart game translated.
Neko: Ive found a group.
Neko: Theyre willing to translate H games.
Kailieann: To Heart 2 is already half translated
Neko: $100-$300 american. Depending on how big it is and how quickly you want it done.
Neko: I was thinking more along the lines of To Heart or Comic Party
Kailieann: The To Heart 2 translation is free
Neko: I *really* want to play comic party
Neko: ...so?
Kailieann: I think I downloaded the CG
Kailieann: To Heart 2 has Komaki and the Himeyuri twins, therefor it owns
Neko: ....so?
Kailieann: It also has HMX-17a Ilfa, but we don't care about her
Neko: *googles*
Kailieann: I'm not that interested in Kanon, and I've already extensively played To Heart. And to be honest, it wasn't that great. I didn't care much for the art style, especially the way they drew Remmy
Neko: Hmmm....I think I might.
Kailieann: err
Kailieann: not that interested in Comic Party
Kailieann: More interested in AIR
Kailieann: No idea where Kanon came from
Neko: Well if you dont want any games translated, fine. Screw you I'll find somebody who does.
Kailieann: I don't like what's-her-face and the other one, though
Neko: <.<
Kailieann: Tamaki and Karin
Kailieann: Tamaki looks like she's 30, and Karin looks like an anthropomorphized Pokemon
Neko: Hey
Neko: Ive seen some mighty fine pikagirls.
Kailieann: Sango's voice sample doesn't do a very good job of showcasing her oosaka-ben. But fortunately Ruri's does.
Neko: Sango? From Inuyasha?
Kailieann: Sango Himeyuri. The blue-haired one.
Neko: "the blue haired one?"
Neko: From what?
Kailieann: The blue-haired Himeyuri twin from To Heart 2. Pay attention.
Neko: Oh
Kailieann: Daniel is very less than Sebastian, though
Kailieann: Did Yuuki just call me Takoyaki-san?
Neko: *snert*
Kailieann: http://www.aquaplus.co.jp/th2/html/characters.html
Neko: I click the voice sample button and hear "taka-kun"
Kailieann: That's Konomi, though. Yuuki's the one on the bottom
Neko: Oh
Neko: Im on the wrong character
Neko: I hear takayuku
Neko: ^takayuki
Kailieann: *glares at torrent* 8.9%
Neko: I could imagine it being takoyaki
Kailieann: I have just over 90% to find a PS2/emulator
Neko: .......
Neko: Working PS2 emulators dont exsist.
Neko: What are you downloading?
Kailieann: Oh
Kailieann: my
Kailieann: god
Neko: ?
Kailieann: *baps you with a rolled-up newspaper*
Kailieann: TO HEART 2
Neko: ....its a PS2 game?
Kailieann: Yes
Neko: ......
Neko: Is it hentai?
Neko: ....wait. Its on PS2 and its being translated? =O
Neko: ....jesus I sound like omex ~.~
Neko: *ahem*
Neko: Is it hentai?
Kailieann: *points at the sample CG for--* screw that *points at the banner at the top of the page which shows LESBIAN TWINCEST FOR CRYING OUT LOUD*
Neko: Whaaaat? <.<
Neko: Ok, the big question. Is the american version going to have the H stuff in it? <.<
Kailieann: fan translation
Neko: Oooooooooohhhh
Neko: Things begin to make sense!
Neko: .....SHIT!
Neko: That means I have to mod my ps2 <.<
Kailieann: *finds wallpapers*
Kailieann: *punts Serene and Ein off her desktop* Hel-LO, Komaki!
Kailieann: And unlike Ein, half her face isn't covered by Trillian
Neko: haha
Kailieann: egads
Kailieann: The.. what was her name? The Pokemon?
Kailieann: Karin
Neko: Are we talking about a pokemon or a character IN pokemon?
Neko: Oh
Neko: dont know her
Neko: What about her?
Kailieann: her wallpaper is positively creepy
Neko: ?
Kailieann: http://www.aquaplus.co.jp/th2/images/wp/toh2_04_1024.jpg I'm telling you, that's no human, it's a freaking Pokemon in a seifuku
Neko: .....hot though <3
Kailieann: I'd debate that, but I like Shiho, so what the hell do I know?
Neko: And how!

Nicole + Shawn
Bridal Prep: Hyatt French Quarter
Ceremony: Irish Cultural Museum
Reception: Galvez Restaurant
Hair & Makeup: Flawless Bride
Wedding Planner: Weddings by Lulu
Florist: Erin Steen
Cake: Swiss Bakery
Brass Band: TBC Brass Band
I LOVE LOVE my destination brides! Nicole and Shawn flew allll the way from Arizona to celebrate their wedding the New Orleans way. Their friends and family traveled from Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, Tennessee, New York, AND Michigan! It was an amazingly fun day. I really enjoyed photographing these two and their super fun wedding party. Some of the highlights of the day were Nicole's GORGEOUS wedding gown, when Nicole first saw Shawn crying as she walked up the isle, and the fun, energetic second line!
How they met: Nicole and Shawn met online around December 2006!
How Shawn proposed: Shawn and Nicole had a March Madness trip to Las Vegas planned with some of the their friends. The night after they arrived, Shawn used the excuse that he needed new flip flops, and they started their journey to the Planet Hollywood shops in search of his new footwear.
After not finding what he was looking for, Shawn wanted to go check out some other hotels (i.e. Cesars, Bellagio, Paris, etc.) as he had not been able to see them on a previous trip to Vegas.
When entering the Paris Hotel, he asked if they could go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. After some convincing on Shawn's part, they made the journey to the top.
It was freezing at the top and while Nicole was trying to warm up in the sun, Shawn was scoping out a spot for the two of them in the shade. He asked Nicole to join him where he got down on one knee and asked for her to be his wife.
Nicole started to cry and immediately said "I LOOK LIKE DOG SH*T!" Shortly after that, she said "YES!"
Why New Orleans? Nicole and Shawn chose to get married in New Orleans for the SECOND LINE!

caleb kim
Meet Caleb:
- Birth: June 9th, 1991
- Marriage and Family: I am married to Molly who is the most beautiful woman of God I know. We have been married since June 2014, and she is an ICU nurse at Tacoma General Hospital. My family is heavily involved in the Church and I love them all dearly! I have two younger brothers (Colin and Corey) and an older Sister (Jessica).
- Education: I have a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Central Washington University, and I am currently working on my Master's degree in Spiritual Formation through Corban Universities' School of Ministry.
Testimony and Church Life: I grew up as a sinner, desperately in need of a savior, while attending Christ's Church. I have been going to this Church my entire life, and it has been an incredible community that God has blessed me and my family with. God revealed Himself to me and saved me at the young age of 5, but I did not understand the full Gospel, and what Christ really did on the cross, until I was in Middle School. After that I have been growing in my relationship with the Lord and have dedicated myself to serving God in whatever capacity. There have been ups and downs throughout that journey, but God has steered me toward a life of service in the ministry, and I can only wait and see what God has planned for me in the future!
Interests: I love to learn and study, and will probably be in school for the rest of my life. I also love sports (literally all sports!), and have a deep affinity for music! I play several instruments and love every genre of music (besides country!) I love art, science, history, philosophy, and really anything that I can learn from or that is competitive!
Ministry Passions: I would serve God in whatever capacity that He would see fit, but currently, I am passionate about student ministries, Biblical counseling, Apologetics, and Worship.
Pet Peeve: Bad drivers, people who don't listen, people who chew with their mouth open, and whining.
Some Favorites:
- Book(s): Anything by C.S. Lewis; Reasonable Faith; A Praying Life
- Book of the Bible: Romans
- Sports Team(s): Sounders, Seahawks,
- Food(s): All food
- Northwest Get-away: The Coast…or Eastern Washington
- Music: Gungor, Switchfoot, Needtobreathe, Citizens, King's Kaleidoscope
- Local Restaurant: Mika Japanese Buffet, Black Bear, Chipotle, Burger Express

|We absolutely love the vivid video background used by Alex Kaminski on his portfolio site. It's a great way to catch a visitor's attention and it's quirky enough to make me want to know more – which is exactly what it's supposed to do!
|The novel scrolling style of this portfolio (it's like scrolling through a flip-book or a page turn) not only helps to showcase the artist's projects, but creates enough intrigue and interest that users will feel inclined to click through to read more.
Best Portfolio Website Builder Templates for Designers
|Designer Template Example 1
|This smart-looking template is clean and free of any clutter – as you'd expect from a UX Designer's website. It immediately engages the visitor but doesn't overwhelm them.
|Strong, bold headings create visual fixing points and a sense of confidence that reflects the personality and style of the designer.
|The dynamic elements on the page (graphs that load and text that appears as you scroll) is a really neat way of keeping content interesting and users scrolling.
|Designer Template Example 2
|This portfolio website is a bit busier than the previous few we've looked at – but it helps set the tone for the site and establishes to the user that this is the website of a creative person. The use of different fonts and text sizes keeps things interesting and engages the reader by not being too monotonous.
|There's a really nice design contrast between the colorful page header above the fold (what you can see when you land on the webpage) and the crisp, framed imagery below the fold (content that appears when you start scrolling). This contrast looks both beautiful and professional and encourages clicks.
Best Portfolio Website Builder Templates for Music Artists
|Music Artist Template Example 1
|This website uses a number of strong visual cues to catch your attention when you land on it. You should take inspiration from the use of big, bold text, a striking and emotional image and a clear call to action (CTA) button telling us to 'Get It Here!', which is just asking to be clicked.
|The use of the artist's music video is a clever way of exposing visitors to his music, while giving our eyes something to look at. Websites are visual mediums, so regardless of how catchy the song is, the majority of visitors will still need something visual to keep their interest! This video is the perfect answer.
|It's not always about looks. This website uses text cleverly, keeping things very minimalist to direct our attention to the essential information: a link to buy his album, when his tour dates are and the names of his songs. Could he have added more copy and content? Definitely. But does he NEED any more content and copy? No, all the essential information is already there.
|Music Artist Template Example 2
|We're a fan of how consistent this website's theme is. Everything – including icons and imagery – is inspired by music, which keeps the website focused and also highlights how passionate this artist is about their craft.
|The use of alternating color blocks helps to separate content, keeping it neat and tidy, which makes it less intimidating to a user and easier to read.
|The simple color scheme of black, white and turquoise is impactful due to how subtle it is. The black and white keeps things professional, while the flashes of turquoise highlight creativity.
Our Top 4 Tips for Building Beautiful Portfolio Websites
Whatever creative industry you work in, one of the hardest things to do is getting people to experience and engage with your work.
Whether you want to build a fan-base or attract new clients, without an online portfolio it's going to be really difficult to do either, which is why a portfolio website builder might just be your new best friend!
So who could benefit from using a portfolio website builder? Well, pretty much anyone who creates something that they want to showcase to a wider audience, so that means you graphic designers, videographers, photographers, artists, musicians, animators, and anyone else who likes to express their creativity.
Luckily for you, the portfolio website builders we looked at above showcase a wide range of templates and styles that should give you plenty of food for thought when it comes to developing your own website.
However, while portfolio website builders give you a lot of options and all sorts of freedom to create your website, we still recommend following these four rule of thumb:
1.Be Creative With Your Website Layout (But Not Too Creative!)
After spending years browsing and building websites, it's become clear to us that one of the most important parts of any website – and one of the easiest to get wrong! – is the layout of your website.
You're probably an expert too, but you just don't realize it. We all have such short attention spans online that if something isn't easy to find then we will go somewhere else to find it.
This is important to remember when designing a site layout as you want to keep things clean, easy to navigate and clutter free. That's not to say you can't exercise a bit of creative flair at the same time – especially if you want to make a truly eye-catching portfolio website.
The examples above highlight a number of quirky and engaging ways of displaying and navigating content that should give you some inspiration.
2.Create a Visually Compelling Site (That Encourages Users to Scroll and Explore)
Your website is a reflection of you, your business and – if it's a portfolio site – your passion.
If you think of your portfolio site as a shop window that showcases your skills, abilities and creative work then it becomes obvious that having a design that captures a user's eye is an essential part of website design.
Explore the tools and techniques available to you to come up with inventive and attractive ways of highlighting the content you need to. Maybe it's with quirky page scrolling, or even parallax scrolling (a technique where backgrounds overlap and scroll at different speeds creating an illusion of depth and 3D-ness).
Just because your design is simple and clean from Tip #1, it doesn't mean you can't express your personality through the look and feel of your site.The 'Designer Template Example 1' above is a fantastic example of how you can stamp your personality on a clean, easily-navigable layout.
3.Showcase Your Best Work (and Put it Front and Center!)
Sounds obvious, right? Well, while it might be tempting to showcase everything you've done on your portfolio website, take a moment to consider who will be looking at your work. Will your visitors have the time (or the inclination!) to browse through so much content?
It's definitely advisable to pick out your best work – the most ambitious, the most dazzling – and take the time to make it stand out in your design. It's important to keep this content prominently displayed on your site to catch the reader's attention and encourage them to click.
In the examples above we've highlighted several great ways of showcasing your work, including using hi-quality photos as your site background, as well creating contrasting color blocks to make things stand out more.
4.Your Choice of Font Counts Too (So Make Sure They Compliment Your Design!)
Believe it or not, font choice is often overlooked as an important part of your website design. It's crazy what a difference different font types can make!
Not only does your font need to be readable, but it should also compliment your overall design. You might also want different fonts for headings and paragraphs so as to make different parts of your site stand out. If you use multiple fonts though, it's best practice to use no more than 3, otherwise it gets too complicated for your eyes to follow and absorb.
Try out a wide variety of different looking fonts to see what sits nicely on your page, then refine your choices from there. It can't hurt to ask for feedback from friends or family either.
