gather.com article

[serene]

I just posted my first article, called "On Being an Atheist Hippychick", on gather.com. Please go check it out. It's the first thing of substance I've written in a while, and I kind of like it, though it feels a bit rough around the edges.

(I still have plenty of gather invites, too, if you want them. Just let me know in comments or email which email address(es) to send them to.)

I haven't read your article yet (I promise to do so as soon as I can) but I guess I'll take an invite. sistercoyote at sbcglobal dot net

I like it, but hugging and talking to trees have nothing to do with any random deity I may or may not believe in and everything to do with hugging and talking to trees because they are *trees*.

Right, and I get that. And I talk to my plants. But I talk to them because it gives me pleasure to anthropomorphize things, and not because I believe they have any sentience or godhood. That's the assumption a lot of my pagan firends make about me, and that's what inspired the article.

By the way, I still think I'm reading lysana when I read you, if I'm not careful. It's spooky.

I'd like one of those invites, if you still have 'em.

Yay!

[lysana.livejournal.com]

And we don't really look that much alike.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's just those particular userpics, I think.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

*drool*

as well you might; it was the best banana bread i ever made. though that doesn't say a whole lot, really -- i've made very few banana breads, and i've never actually been inventive with them. this time i took the basic recipe that came with my breadmaker (which features bananas and walnuts), and changed it quite a bit (minus nuts, plus ginger and raisins and cardamom and cloves), and it came out super-plus-yummy-good.
