I could do without some of the rated R content, but the dialogue and the writing, it's all so delicious. Besides, how often do TV shows center around a lawful evil character like that? Oh, and ZOMG, Julie Benz signed my Season 1 Box set! SQUEE! The fact that Michael C. Hall married Jennifer Carpenter recently when they play a brother and sister on TV kind of weirds me out. Their scenes together will never quite be the same. Okay, I'm done derailing your topic. Proceed. Dexter has long been my dark delight.

Guilty. I was into the books before the series came out and think casting Michael C. Hall was inspired.

Ah, another <em>Dexter</em> fan I take it? Regarding the overall subject, as an evangelical I certainly don't feel bad about most teenage transgressions. They're forgiven. I especially don't feel bad about the ones that make me laugh. There's some things you can get away with as a teenager that you can't do as an adult. I miss that. I do feel some remorse over transgressions that had an effect on other people. I may be forgiven, but I worry about whether the other person is and how I may have changed him or her for the worst.

At least for those things that have affected others in a negative way.

Regardless of how we feel about our former life - if , indeed, we had a 'former life' - we should accept it is part of us, it is what makes us who we are today. Despite giving up some unsavory behavior myself, I still sometimes think about those days past. It often happens while listening to music, since much of my collestion comes from those past times, and I am reminded of rebellious feelings I had then (and that I sometimes like to remember now.) But mostly those remembrances are reminders to me of how I finally discovered the meaning of joy when I accepted and embraced the truth about the gospel and started to change my life to conform to gospel teachings. Of course it is a long process to adequately change but if I'm heading in the right direction then I'm OK with whatever experiences got me here.

At some point we become willing to give up anything and everything. Luckily, everything is not required.
