I've got a pink sparkly unicorn in "my world." PROVE ME WRONG.

RANT TIME.

Actually, it's going to be a pretty short rant, because I'm quite tired and would like to sleep at some point. Also I smell of pumpkin (more on that later.)

Here is an amusing video for your enjoyment.

Some most of the comments, on the other hand, are neither amusing nor enjoyable, but rather asininely stupid. A lot of them come back to the distressingly post-modern idea of "I have my world and you have your world and we see them in different ways."

Bollocks. You might see things differently to other people but that doesn't change what the world is and is not. There is one world, material and testable and empirical, and whilst we may experience it in different ways because of our different backgrounds, opinions, and levels of intelligence and knowledge (amongst other things), that doesn't change the world itself.

The only way we can really learn about the world is through empirical, rational testing of it, because that is the only way to find out anything concrete. There's no reason to believe anything that can't be proved (beyond reasonable doubt) through empirical enquiry, because what you can tell about the world without the scientific method is biased and flawed. The scientific method, applied correctly, is neither of these things.

So no, apologists, it's not okay to have a god in "your world." There is no "your world". And, frankly, there is no god. Empirical world, empirical statement, lack of empirical proof.

I'm sure most of that didn't make any sense to anyone but me, but fuck it. ANGRY GOD STUFF AT NEARLY MIDNIGHT RARR.

It's never nice to finish a day on Angry God Stuff (well, I think it is, but as we all know I thrive on conflict) so have some pictures of the three pumpkins I carved today, designs courtesy of the wonderful ZombiePumpkins.com.

Happy Jack!


Creepy Jack!


Otis!


These were pretty fun to make. Gutting pumpkins is really, really disgusting, though, and they smell vile. I am still amazed that Americans consider the pumpkin to be an edible object. As far as I am concerned, it is the least edible member of the squash family, a set of foodstuffs I am in any case very much not fond of. I don't seem to be able to get the smell out of my hands, which is pretty gross.

Living in a courtyard of priests + creepy pumpkins = FUN TIMES around the corner, methinks. I think it'd be better if we had the weird breeder family over the way instead of the CRAZY TALKATIVE but quite nice new people, but whatev. I bet the Dean will freak out. Bwahahaha~

My final thought for tonight is that everyone should listen to Metsatöll, and someone should buy me a kantele and some bagpipes. And preferably an accordion, too, because I played one for the first time today (and left my bag in the shop FFFFFFF but thankfully it didn't get nicked) and liked it VERY MUCHLY. If I have some job money saved up by Christmas I may get one~
