Hello there
February 3, 2014 at 11:37 pm
I'm Ferdinand. I've been on TTA for a few years. I hear about this place a lot, actually, so I decided to register and see what it's like.
Where I live, everyone and everything is extremely Christian. Most churches here are very "fire and brimstone" Baptist. My parents are Christian, but were too preoccupied with their affairs to see to me attending church regularly as I was growing up. Religion wasn't a necessity to me like it was to my peers in school. I didn't understand the point, so I didn't adapt to it. But as I grew older, I started meeting more and more people with minds like mine: they either couldn't care less, or they managed to escape the grasps of such a suffocating environment, and inhabit the ability to think for themselves.
Everyone else seemed like a robot. 
Besides all of that, I like music, gaming, photography and computers; and in a couple of months I'll be forced to take the step to start my life. So long, childhood. Hello technical college and waitressing to save up for my funeral a car.

Good evening, Ferdinand. Nice to meet you. Ferdinand is a dude's name in most applications, but then you mentioned "waitressing". You a guy, gal, or nunnamybiz?
