I'm Ariel currently living in Austin, Texas. I'm an aspiring writer, comedian, filmmaker, and professional soda drinker. Let's see how that goes.

Not the Momma! compilation - The Dinosaurs TV show
I would say this to my father all the time because of my strange childhood obsession with The Dinosaurs. Luckily at the time my dad could take a joke from a 4 yr old. Not so sure if he’d laugh much now. NOT THE MOMMA!
PS I had no idea Kevin Clash was also the voice of Baby Sinclair.
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by God as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (God’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as God’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what God or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your God and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

My roommate and I are not blessed with obvious cheekbones but after a few painstaking pictures I have finally discovered my “cheekbone” face. This is a big moment for the world, so take a breath. Now don’t go thinking this will be my normal “go to face” in pictures. Quite the opposite! At this point in my life I feel that the “oh, you were taking a picture of me, well I’ll be funny and look awkward” face works perfectly fine. It brings out my inner “I use to eat play-doh” child.
This ends the “how many quotation marks can I fit in one post” post.
A short, awesome video I did that was directed/edited by the incredible Matt Hannon and co-starring the ever hilarious Rob Gagnon. This turned out way better than I could have imagined. Its kind of entrancing…
She recently released a stealer album that I recommend to anyone and everyone that won’t walk away from my rambling. Haunting yet upbeat, how does she do it?!
