I remember freshman year Ash Wednesday, when I brought a bologna sandwich for lunch

If you had me alone...locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you do with me? Respond, then repost this in your LJ- or don't. You might be surprised with the responses you get.

Don't worry about my orientation; throw it out the window. I want honesty. I won't think any more or less of anyone, as long as it's honest.

Sweet! You are so invited over to visit!

Yeah, we had about 5 or 6 Tibetan monks come to our school. I was taking some religious studies options at the time, so I heard a lot about them. They were making a sand mandala at our campus museum... I don't remember if it was for a specific purpose or a general one. I visited the mandala at least 3 times, usually for a couple of hours at a time. It was the most peaceful, meditative thing I have ever witnessed. I barely noticed time passing... it was like 5 minutes had gone by and I'd look at my watch and I'd been there for 2 hours!

They were selling handmade paper products (journals and notepaper and stuff like that) as well as prayer bells and other stuff. I bought a bunch of paper things. The procedes were to go towards building a new Temple somewhere... one of the countries near Tibet where these monks had fled.

Well, if I ever get the chance, I'll definitely have to drop by. ^^

That is supremely awesome. I wish I had been there. More than likely the country in question was either Bhutan or Sikkim.
