Introducing myself
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 8:14 pm
One of my New Year's resolutions was to quit being a lurker and start participating. The other one was to run at least two miles a day. This one is easier.
A little about me. I'm in my thirties, female, and lean waaaayyyy to the left politically. My family converted to Mormonism when I was about six years old. I never believed in it, nor did I ever experience any guilt for not developing a testimony. I don't mind Mormons, and I really like exmos. Many of them seem to have the same irreverent humor as myself, and I have three close friends outside of cyberspace that come from huge uber-Mormon families and left. We laugh a lot.
I live happily in sin with my boyfriend and will never marry him. We've been together for about ten years, but since neither one of us can remember the date that we met, and since we don't have a wedding anniversary, we're not exactly sure. He calls me a "cool chick" and thinks I am the easiest person in the world to get along with. I like that, even though it's not entirely true.
I posted once or twice at RFM, probably about six or seven months ago. I didn't stay though, since I never suffered from Mormonitis in the first place, and the lack of conflict made it boring for me. I do, however, read a ton of articles and stories from there. I appreciate what they are doing for people.
I never even registered at FAIR because people that try to muzzle me are creepy. I didn't want to give them the power to ban me, which they would have pretty quickly. But I have followed a ton of threads there. I may or may not have a crush on both the Dude and Tarski. I think Charity should change her name to Self-Centered, and I think there is a strong possiblity that Juliann will eventually be an exmo.
I am looking forward to getting to know you guys personally, instead of just being an observer.
Happy New Year!
