Holy CRAP that was a ton of greetings, hahaha. I wasn't expecting that. ...Heck I think I got a warmer welcome on this forum than I ever got when I went to church. *lol*

To answer the questions: No, I REALLY don't wear those hats. Truth be told I'm not a HUGE sports fan [but then that's only because I don't tend to have enough time to pay attention to them]. But in exchange, I have ludicrously long hair [for a dude].

Nah, I'm not a pagan or wiccan. Logically agnostic, emotionally atheist; as Isaac Asimov said it: "I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time." As far as wicca and paganism go...well, I find all superstitious beliefs as something to be taken with extreme dubiousness; until some concrete evidence can show their existence without being easily explained away by scientific inquiry, it's likely false. Winning the lottery is no miracle; it's bound to happen that the numbers will eventually come up a certain way. Improbability does not prove conviction in faith; it just defies the norm. Stuff like that.

Also, queen: I know the feeling, I just got dumped yesterday.

Lookin' forward to bein' here, thank you guys so much for your welcoming!

I'm sorry to hear that Creed. Splitting up in any fashion sucks, so I hope it's not TOO terrible for you.

Neh, it really wasn't. I bounce back pretty fast. It takes something REALLY bad to get to me anymore. *lol* Granted it WAS a pretty bad breakup complete with screaming and insulting, but hey; if that's how it was going to end, then it probably wasn't worth pursuing in the first place.

Always good to take a pedantic, clinical approach to a breakup and relationship once it's ended.
