Hi there! I'm an artist (mostly sculptor and painter). I like practical and/or freaking cool/artsy things. I'm thoroughly liberal progressive, atheist (still LOVE CHRISTMAS), and nerdy! Things I love: TRAVEL (I'm a big believer in seeing and experiencing as much of the world as I can), baking (I almost became a pastry chef/cake decorator), thrift shopping (I love telling someone who complimented an item I'm wearing that I only got it for $4. I'm cheap, but with taste lol), Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, The Young Turks/Wolf PAC, tattoos, anything to do with Impressionism (Monet, Renoir, Degas… <3), or the Renaissance (Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael (basically all the turtles), Botticelli…the city of Florence), comedy/stand-up (Louis CK, Tig Notaro, Sarah Silverman, Robin Williams, John Mulaney, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Stephen Wright, Mitch Helberg, Seth Rogan) Disney/Pixar (but also Hayao Miyazaki), DOCUMENTARIES, fooooooooooood, big dogs (I have one named Toby and he's a great oaf), tea and coffee (I drink a LOT of tea), cows and pandas are my favorite animals, playing video games (Super Mario 64 is my favorite of all time, but I have a PS3 and am wanting to learn about new games), the outdoors (hiking, camping, bonfires <3), books!!!!, and SPAAAACE!!!!! I drink occasionally (wine, beer, whiskey, vodka) but I am more of a smoker. I like practical and/or artsy things! I love to laugh! And… yeah, that’s me :D
I live in rural Minnesota next to rural North Dakota. I've found the land of your people. They all congregated here.
I'm doubting there are any Lutherans in my area taking Easter Sunday off to muck about in an ice cream truck, much to my dismay.
I WANT IT SO MUCH IT'S ASTOUNDING. My mouth just fucking flooded... I gotta go to Coldstone. Oh boy I shouldn't drive. ..delivery ice cream?
We just lean on each other and talk about it. And then struggle silently through the religious portions of family gatherings together. 2/2
My cousin and I are experiencing the same shit in different branches of the family. Pushing back will get us disowned. Like actually. 1/2
I have no interest in convincing them of anything other than that I am an atheist and they should reciprocate the respect I have given them.
So I understand the idea of live and let live, but that doesn't happen with *most* conservative Christians. So why should I accomodate them?
I shit you not, my aunt spent 30 minutes rubbing my back and talking to me about Jesus one day when I made a joke about becoming Jewish. 3
Season on who can get me to convert. I spent decades in silence and as soon as my Christian relatives found out I'm atheist they lost it. 2
My problem is that that is exactly how I have functioned my whole life. Then my family found out I'm not Christian and suddenly it's open 1
I was gonna say.. like I get doing something for the happiness of others, but also, the expectation to fake religious interest is absurd.
This has reached 'your mom' level in overused punchlines.
Potato, tomato.
I guess it was necessary to add /s for people to get it...
Yes, yes, but if everything were up to ol' Benny boy we would have a turkey for a national bird. Perspective. Take some, leave some.
We won't stop shouting about. "PAY ATTENTION TO ME BUT YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING!!!!!" So fucking loony lol
And shove our culture & language down everyone's throats, but then gets pissy when the world pays attention and has comments on the BS 2
It is fucking hysterical to me that the US bullies its way into everything and talks ad nauseum about how we're the best at just everything1
I'm foolish because I think your comment is naive? Fine. But it's still laughably naive. So I guess that makes me extra foolish.
Americans are pissy that Canadians can actually show knowledge of content and context in domestic affairs. Not exactly reciprocal.
Listen to Americans try and talk to Canadians about health care. Listen to how condescending people are about Canadian systems.
Americans have endless opinions and endless motivation to not only share those opinions, but argue them to the death.
Why do Americans think they know everything about everywhere else? Seriously, your comment made me laugh.
Me when my BF finds my g-spot.
I think they each are individually beautiful, but I don't much like the flow and composition of them all together.
Well I missed it entirely. So not only do I not remember her, I was unaware of this gaffe. Pretty funny and entirely relatable. +1
I drove for 10 hours by myself listening to Radio Lab podcasts. It was the BEST car trip. I learned SO. FUCKING. MUCH.
I also listened to the Minnesota Public Radio segment they did on her. Goddamn it I love MPR/NPR
Gollum or Horcrux Voldemort?
Me too.
