That'll be interesting. Since you've made a concious and, I assume, reasoned choice of your faith, why? I need to have a discussion with you about this that doesn't degrade into one of us getting pissed off.

Edit: Oh and I forgot, I liked paranoid Johnny more than this one. However I like the image of him sitting in the bathroom with the bone saw better. I would link an image, except it would get picked up by the filter and you wouldn't see the post untill the next election cycle.

Broaden Horizons. Check. (Does changing fantasy worlds from Krynn to Faerun count? Oh, I thought not. I have started Assasin's Aprentice by Robin Hobb.)

Not a mistake. Check. (I'm arguing with this doctor on the internet that says tg people are a problem that needs curing and all transvestites are gay. I'll see if I can find his website again.)

Talking a lot. Check. (How ironic, nothing to say. I think we agree on more than both of us realize, strangelove.)

Brain. Check.

Soul. Ch-- Oh, damn. Someone stole it again! If I catch that *******, there'll be hell to pay! I need that when I die you know! I don't want to, uh, non-exist or anything! (do I sound juvenile?) Whatever, the fact remains I need my soul.

Maybe I'm not the idea person to respond to this, but...a hell it's 2 am and I'm bored. As always, I'm not mocking you or anything. Just my honest opinion.

Maybie I need a good talking to concerning what I believe about the afterlife and Spirit.

Well you know what I think there. The problem I see with your faith, or whatever word best describes it, is that it's based on stuff that you question whether is real or not. Question what your religion states and ask yourself whether or not you really think that's the way it is. I always reccomend Deism, but for that philosophy to really help you, you have to be able to draw your sense of magick, or miracle, whichever you prefer, from the natural world itself. No faires, no angels, saints, or demons. Just the world. It's a great machine and I think there's some beauty in the ordered chaos of it. Think about that, everything from galaxies on down is just this huge, grand dance of particles and engergies and whatnot. But this is something that I can't really describe well over the internet, so I'll leave you with this. You should always question your faith, lest you outgrow it.

Some social-psychology book or perhaps a new clothes colour?

Clothes color, not really. Outlook on life? Possibly. Unfourtunately that can't be found in a book. What I will say is this, if you read, make it varied. I suggest Harlan Ellison, you might like him. He's got an anthology called Dangerous Visions. It's not social psychology by any means, but most of the stories in there have a message. If you get them, there's a lot of interesting observations on humanity in there. Both love, fear, and all the stuff in between.

Or perhaps you should tell me how wrong I am concerning gender.

I'll shy away from this, but from what you told me before, this might stem back to the issue of faith.
You are not a cosmic mistake. You are what you are, nothing more, nothing less.

I just realized I talk a lot on the internet. I need a life.

Hey, look we have something in common!

Why am I asking you to tell me what's wrong with me?

It's called introspection. You obviously do a lot of it. I do as well. Seeking someone to talk to ain't a bad thing. All in all wavemaster, you're not half bad. You've got a brain and a soul and that's more than most people can say.
