Oh my god (hehe), someone is giving me free reign to write o.O
Well, then the question is what to share because really, there is so much.

I guess the basics would do.  I live on Vancouver Island about two hours from Victoria, BC. I’ve lived all around BC but always find myself back on my happy little rock.  I currently work as a cashier for a local hardware store while I wait for my nursing program to begin.  I hope to complete it then work with Nurses Without Borders or a UN outreach detachment as a Nurse Practitioner though I assume I’ll end up as a Psychiatric Nurse.  I spent a year in university once before studying Biological Anthropology and Evolutionary Theory but left due to financial constraints. 

I’ve traveled a bit, most notably Russia as part of a Missionary group (which actually was the defining moment I stopped believing in a Christian God) and to Chicago (the defining moment I stopped believing in any God).  Now… now I believe in Knowledge and though I struggle greatly with the notion of no afterlife, I find slowly I am trying to cram as much as I can into the life I have now.

My interests are far and wide, anything that will teach me something new.  I love to read anything I can, computers are a passion, and listening to the radio (not enough people do this anymore).  I love to discuss politics, sex, and religion even at the dinner table. 

I like to think I’m a good person but I struggle a lot with letting go of a god and an afterlife.  Death scares the crap out of me yet I still find I am a slave to slothfulness.  Despite this, I persevere on to find a sense of peace… and to hold my own against religious nut-jobs cuz I seem to be a magnet for them.

oh! and my pet peeve is the Vatican Archives…  grrr!  That information is for the people
