Kinda preachy

[bluntsword]

I'm a student pastor. I preached at my church. You can watch here.

Huzah!

So well spoken and confident! If there's two things I appreciated about my pastors when I was at school it was their enthusiasm and anecdotes. It made christianity feel like something that could actually be a part of people's lives, not just something we all learnt about and were told to believe in. Good.

As a brief selfish aside: hearing an American say the name Tim sounds so darn weird to me you wouldn't even believe.

[bluntsword]

Tim?

Teem?

Tam?

How do you say it Pac?

And thanks for the compliment.

I don't know, man. The way I hear Australians say it sounds like Tim to me, and Americans sound like Tem to me.
It's like, I imagine Americans put emphasis on the o in Ronald (in my head it sounds like Rah-nld), but I would put more weight on the r. I don't know. Language. It's weird.

[bluntsword]

Language. It's weird.

This!

[yuyu!]

hmmm...

"rahnold"

"tihm"

[pacdiggity]

Look, if you want to know how an Australian would say your name, just get yourself in the right mindset by saying g'day before it. Never fails.

[yuyu!]

g'day tihm

[bluntsword]

How often do you actually use the phrase g'day???

[pacdiggity]

Probably around a dozen times a day. It's more fun to say than hello, it's more appropriately Austrian, and it lets people know I'm a cool guy it's okay to party with.

[strike]

Austrian

gasp

Is abusing my mod powers a sin?

Ok, well, maybe...

[Acolyte]

You're a really good public speaker. Though I guess you'd probably have to be to do what you do.

[bluntsword]

Thanks Aco!

I try to at least not be boring!
