Hi, nice to be here.

Hi, nice to be here.
I've always been sort of a non conventional thinker. I get easily bored by stuff that doesn't sound like it has any substance, or seems to assert it's own importance. I guess that's a blessing and a curse in a way, because I feel that being so easily bored with shit that sounds like bullshit, it's made me an extremely skeptical thinker. By consequence, I often suck at doing things which feel unnecessary like school or just cleaning up my own houses. I've had that in me since, idk, 2nd or 3rd grade, the feeling that each year is the same as the last, it often drives me in deeply aching rabbit holes of thought, which often leave me struggling to find the answers to anything and feeling like an utter moron. 

So I'd say I'm a bit of a complicated person, I was trying to find a way to describe my mind and I think I succeeded somewhat, in describing myself in neither a self deprecating or conceited way, but something that's just true. My innate "what the fuck is the point" sensibility hasn't made me much more interested in science and history than I'm sure many of the scientifically and historically inclined people on this website are,. but I do think that I am very engaged in science, history, and politics, and I have been trying to get into philosophy a lot more too. I dunno what I necessarily have to gain from philosophy, but it's something that I've been meaning to get into. I've downloaded a lot of philosophy books and I plan on trying to read some of them. I recently started to read the myth of Sisyphus by alber camus, about to the second page. 

And I'm not saying I'm into history as in like, I am a history buff or anything, but I used to love the history channel before the recession killed it, and the science channel, I still follow a lot of that stuff, but I mostly pay attention to the extremely painful political environment going on around me today. Scientific and logical things have always sort of comforted me in a way, which I guess is why I would be happy to be surrounded by a bunch of peers who probably feel somewhat the same, if you've all came to the same conclusion about religion. Anyways, I look forward to using this forum, if it's active and I actually decide to spend more than one day here. Why not, I may have something to gain.

Ah, nothing much. I was just using the imagery that came to my mind when I came up with the name. I was trying to think of something that sounded beautiful and angelic, but also sort of androgynous and gender neutral in nature. I think panties sort of represent that, because if it's in my name you may assume I like panties, or maybe I'm the one wearing them or on other guys. Phosphorescent is just a nod to a style of art I like, which seems to glow and is very colorful, which leaves the world around you emitting a sort of colorfulness after looking at it for a prolonged period of time. I have a blog where I collect artwork like this, but I won't link it because it has some very graphic sexual stuff. I find sexuality and art to be deeply intertwined, so I add that to my aesthetic a lot. I find the combination of art and sex can work synergistically when appreciating art. I'm demisexual though.

Welcome!

I settled for something a bit sillier, I admit! I wanted something more beautiful, but this silly name seemed pleasant enough.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
