IAM Ziztur
I'm starting to realize that other than the random blatherings I post on this blog, you fair readers know next to nothing about me. I don't really share much of my personal life unless it seems relevant. If you think that this is because the topics covered here are all I think about, you're not terribly far off, honestly. But amazingly, I have a life outside of atheism and skepticism!
Ten things about me you might not know yet:
IAM: The oldest of three siblings - we're all atheists. My parents were raised Catholic but raised us completely secularly except for sending us to a Lutheran Pre-school. (Crap, I've mentioned the atheist thing already. I failed)
IAM: Totally native to St. Louis - I've never lived anywhere else and sometimes I regret that. I feel (quite erroneously I'm sure) that St. Louis is the only real place to live. Though I am also fond of Boston.
IAM: Formerly a very private person, but decided about a year ago that I could no longer shut people out. I felt like even those who were closest to me barely knew me. It was the intensity of interactions at an atheists meetup group that made me realize what I was missing.
IAM: Always drinking Mountain Dew (so is Flimsy...). We basically don't drink anything else - we can even wake up in the middle of the night, drink some, and then go back to bed. It's our Nectar of the Nonexistent Gods. (aw hell, I mentioned atheism again)
IAM: Terribly bad at small talk. I'd rather know you intensely immediately after meeting you. I don't talk to people in typical social situations (like at the dog park or something) because I just don't see the point in talking about the weather, evening sitcoms or the latest silicone bakeware.
IAM: Described as being "pathologically unemotional" by some, "beautifully rational" by others. My friends used to get angry at me for my lack of emotional response, and I have been told that I am hard to read. A big load of crap happened to me about a year ago, and when I explained all of it to a group of my classmates, they were in awe that I was recounting said events in such a detached, matter-of-fact way.
IAM: "W" sitting, even at 26. That's when you sit with your legs in a "W" shape, with your butt on the floor, your knees to either side of you, and your feet externally rotated.
IAM: Not sure how to describe my sense of humor, but Flimsy says it's "silly". I'd like to think I am more sarcastic than silly, and I also like to see what kind of humor I can get away with.
IAM: Formerly a member of my high school drama club.I was the head of the sets department, and was Juror 12 in "12 Angry Jurors". I used to want to be an actress, but my brain would have been wasted in such pursuits.
IAM: Never wearing makeup. I have some, but I really don't see the point.

This is a very cool thing for you to post. It's nice to know whose blog I'm reading. :) I really admire people who can bypass small talk and go right for the real questions. Sometimes I wish I was better able to do that. I, myself, am pretty much a pro at small talk. So how about that silicone bakeware, eh? (I think it's bizarre, personally.)
;)

I shall leave the IAM out, at least for myself, because I do not wish to be known as much. Always the spotlight hater IAM. ...uh shit... i failed too.
Anyway, I felt the need to post more about you as I've known you for so long, but I'll call it SHEIS.
SHEIS having a cooler car than anyone else's.
SHEIS a woman who can replace a car manifold gasket or clutch in a weekend.
SHEIS hopping off curb cuts and riding down small staircases in her demo wheelchair.
SHEIS beating you in a wheelchair race - guaranteed.
SHEIS talking about her dog's cute dog-jowles.
SHEIS grown out of a stage where she used to believe in pranic healing.
That is all I have for now...back to homework.
Ha!
Now this... this amuses me. Thanks Alien!
*feels extra squishy*
I'm getting to know the Ziztur a little bit. It's been a pleasant experience. Atheism, atheism, hump car, atheism, atheism. It's a lot of fun being around intelligent goofballs, haha.
This seems suspiciously meme-like to me. But hey, at least it's interesting, unlike most of the trite crap I stumble across.
Yeah, but I am not trying to get other people to do it - so if it spreads, not my fault!
Most people are like, "Favorite food: pizza", "dislikes: fake people or people who try to pretend they are something or someone they are not"

I will never delete a comment because I disagree with you, but if you're posting anonymously, at least give us a name so that if you make multiple comments we can tell you apart from the other anonymous people.
