One of the age old questions: who am I? As might hold true for many folks, I don't feel I have a clear-cut answer for this, so what I can do for now is start with "just some facts, ma'am*," and then see what develops from there.

*to corrupt a quote from an old tv show

I was birthed (along with my twin sister whom I've mentioned before) some time ( Read more... )

Totally with you on the insight and advice giving and the cat macros (shh!)...and the speaking up. Nice to meet you!

noodledays January 22 2013, 21:02:46 UTC

heh, glad to meet you too. :)

Oh, SNAP! Eleven year-old you put the smack down!

if anyone needed it, he did. I wonder from time to time if he's still the same.

I have a few very valued memories of dishing out that kind of retribution to my sister and some bullies throughout the years, and I know it feels nice. My sister is the same but, I like to think that somewhere out there my bullies are all like "Man, I was an ass face."

yeah, in my more optimistic moments I definitely like to think Howard grew up to realize what a boorish PITA he was. ;o

Looking forward to reading you again!

thanks!

I think I walked much of the same road as 11-year-old you did, though I'm not sure where 'new Zion' is. I immediately thought of Utah, which would have made your situation all the harder.

SO glad you're back for this round. Yay!

noodledays January 22 2013, 21:01:51 UTC

Utah it is! ;o

and thank you. :)

halfshellvenus January 22 2013, 21:13:56 UTC

Yes, I wondered. ;)

My Dad grew up in Utah. His entirely family is Mormon, except for him. He knew at age 6 that he was agnostic.

What a struggle. My one year at BYU was hard enough.

Bet you were glad to see Obama win again in 2012. ;)

oh my gosh, so so glad! when and if we have the first LDS president, I'd much rather it be someone more like Jon Huntsman than Mitt Romney. :/

I don't like the cat macros much either, but I make up for it by liking the pictures that don't move?
