I wouldn't say I fake it so much as that I don't bring up my atheism. On the one hand, it's fine, because I'd be a right jerk if I went around "I'm an atheist! Did you know I'm an atheist?" on the other, the assumption of theism, particularly of Christianity, can be maddening. It seems sometimes the only way to counter act is is to say, "Uhm. Scuse me, hate to be a bother, but I don't believe." But, then, I don't have children either.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It sounds like someone is trying to escape from my radiator with a file. I hope that means work is being done on the heating.
Brenda, did you get to sit next to Dennehy last night?

maybe walls that leaf green color, as warm of a tone of that shade as I can?
I was going to suggest some kind of green.

Finally watched the rest of the ice dancing. Really hated the idea of the Russian costumes and do hope they come up with a rule against that. I think there should be a moratorium on the use of both Firebird and Phantom of the Opera. Also, "The Impossible Dream", but I think that the combination of Jacques Brel with that song is just perfect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought that was so wrong, and was surprised there wasn't already a rule about it.

What would the rule say?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It seems to me like the sort of gray area, and in a creative endeavor at that, that might not warrant a rule. However, widespread public disapproval ought to make everyone a bit more conscious about what they're doing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was initially bummed by the Phantom choice, but they were SO delightful and heart-felt and just beautiful when they skated. I could just imagine them going to their coach:
We want to do Phantom!
You're not doing Phantom.
But we could to THIS! And THIS! And twizzle HERE...
Everyone does Phantom.
We'll have a big fling HERE! And then...
and charming their coach the way they charmed me. They were just so in sync with and trusting of each other.
