Haha! You have fallen for my trap! You see, this was all just an elaborate set-up to see who would admit to owning Abercrombie & Fitch clothing! I now know your dirty little secret! MWUAAHAHAHAHA!!!

And er, yes, we all suck at going to BJU. But that's okay. They are scary, scary people. *hides*

BJU?

Anyway I'm assuming that I wouldn't want to go here, if only because I suspect this is a Protestant university (I have several issues with Protestantism's many forms, but none with actual protestants). A lot of this makes no sense at all to me, and I'm a fairly conservative person.

Fundamentalist at the very least.

*giggles* M little brother actually got something from BJU to apply and possibly win scholarships or something. My family was dying over it because we're all rather liberal. It was just hysterical.

Anyone know where this started? I first heard about this place like a month ago, since when is it a meme?

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
