Break Up? Are You Kidding?

Your relationship is top notch, period!
Why are you even taking this quiz? :-)
Maybe you know you've got a good thing going
Or maybe you're a little shaky from a fight
Either way, stick with this guy!

if the shoe fits

i don't want to play the princess anymore. i want to be the witch.

it's not fun to be locked up in a tower while waiting for a prince.

silence

take, take 'til there's nothing
nothing to turn to
nothing when you get through
won't you break
scatter pieces of all i've been
bowing to all i've been
running to
where are you?

where are you?

did you leave me unbreakable?
leave me frozen?
i've never felt so cold
i thought you were silent
i thought you left me
for the wreckage and the waste
on an empty beach of faith
was it true?

yes, i, i got a question
i got a question
where are you?

scream
deeper, i wanna scream
i want you to hear me
i want you to find me
i, i want to believe
but all i pray is wrong
and all i claim is gone

well, i, i got a question
i got a question
where are you?
yeah, yeah

well, i, i got a question
i got a question
where are you?

where are you?
where are you?
where are you?

emphasis mine

The LORD Appears to Elijah
And the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

10 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

14 He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."


[from 1 Kings 19]

and do as You say.

obedience

demanding
difficult
demonstration of love

we love because He first loved us. if we don't, we should.

discipline

by itself, it could be misunderstood. but righteousness is its fruit.



discipline out of love, out of obeying the second greatest commandment? but the Lord let the adulterous woman go...

unanswered

i looked back
it's
been so long
and
i've come so far
but
my questions
still
remain

up down

i failed the mock exam i slept through

i achieved something i had been attempting since last week

perfect

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct.

It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.
And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

vamp

You Could Definitely Be a Vampire

Immortality, staying pretty forever, not having to get a job... you could definitely eat some flesh for these things.
It's not that you're a murderer by nature. In fact, you're probably the furthest thing from it.
However, if you woke up a vampire, you'd certainly be able to adapt and enjoy your new lifestyle.
There might not be much better than living forever, even if it means giving up your soul.

What you would like best about being a vampire: Being a total outsider

What you would like least about being a vampire: Other vampires

burned out

You Are 84% Burned Out

You are extremely burned out.
You work too hard, and you're not getting the results you deserve.
It's time for a life change, as soon as you can manage it.
You're giving away most of your energy to something you don't even enjoy.

nothing

i'm tired
from doing nothing
from not being able
to do anything

why do a prophet's words
fall on deaf ears?

tsk tsk

just when you think you can get any more disappointed
you find out you're wrong

there is no one righteous. not one.

Center Aisle

Thank God I’m back in my car
And driving home, and driving home
Cause the air was thin and so cold
Back in there
It was my first time
Won't be my last time
And the questions rise
Expectations fall
In light of it all

There aren't words to say,
Words aren't remembered
The presence is
A good friend once told me
And he was there, he was there
She wasn’t there
And it’s not fair, it’s not fair

What crimes have you committed
Demanding such penance
That couldn't wait for five more minutes
And I cry for help
Cause this room is so peaceful
And this room is so quiet
And I hate the silence
And I can’t walk
The center aisle

I’ve been here for over three hours
Behind the flowers
So beautiful and young
And so alive
And so in need of someone,
Someone to talk to them
Cause theirs are fragile lives

What crimes have you committed
Demanding such penance
That couldn't wait for five more minutes
And I cry for help
Cause this room is so peaceful
And this room is so quiet
And I hate the silence
And I can’t walk
The center aisle

I think about my brother
And how I just stood there
My hands in my pockets,
And my heart in my throat

Thank god I’m back in my car
And driving home, and driving home
But in that place I leave
All my days
I’ve taken life for granted
And the words I wrote for her
And my best friend crying
And a young girl lying
On all our hearts

What crimes have you committed
Demanding such penance
That couldn't wait for five more minutes
And I cry for help
Cause this room is so peaceful
And this room is so quiet
And I hate the silence
And I can’t walk
The center aisle
