Hi, I'm Rebe and I'm from South Carolina. I'm currently an undergrad in Virginia. Classics major, whoo! I also work at a library part-time. Other than ancient civilizations, I really like digital photography, hiking, indie bands, and poetry/literature. I'm a vegan, an introvert, and a cat person. Oh, and I write fanfic sometimes.
I find religion intellectually interesting, particularly Zen Buddhism, but I've been an atheist as long as I can remember. I was raised to be Presbyterian Christian.
Sadly, none of my close friends are atheist or even agnostic, so it gets lonely sometimes. I've come out to some of my friends, though, and they've been tolerant of it. The big hurdle is my fundamentalist parents. I'm trying to decide when to tell them, which is: probably not till after college, when I'm no longer counting on them to pay part of my tuition. I hate being in the closet, and I'm looking forward to coming out to them when the time is right, even if it will be painful.
Anyway, I guess that's about it, for now. I hope to read some interesting discussions on here!
