Hello, may I introduce myself!
May 30, 2011 at 8:29 pm
As you may guess, I'm a bloody heretic. I deny the divine and supernatural and hold no beliefs simply 'because'. I'm bloody minded about it, and unashamedly so! I have the moral courage to speak my mind to anybody, and I'm not afraid to tell anybody exactly what I think of them. Be offended if you want, that is not my concern. I'm Irish and proud of it. Ireland used to be considered a land of saints and scholars. I'm no saint, but I aspire to the scholarly. More recently it's been considered a land of drunken Catholics. While only sometimes drunken I'm never Catholic. More recently it's known for being completely broke. Alas this there is no escaping, so any cheques and donations are welcome! I look forward to your company, and once again, hello!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

Welcome.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

The smarter ones too, oh and watch out for those ornery old codgers as well (see above).

We don't have any of those. Tacky is about as close as we get.

Hello, hello and welcome!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

That's sad min. Luckily we have plenty of wonderfully grumpy old men to make up for us stupid theists.
