I was talking to my mother this morning, and mentioned that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude and I are considering visiting jonsinger and lisajulie later this Spring, and I also mentioned that Jon does pottery, rather more seriously than I ever did. This led to Mom, naturally enough, asking me what Jon does for a living. So I explained that, and added that part of what is so cool about this is that if anyone else I know had a job just being themselves and doing what interests them, probably most of us would be extremely jealous. Since it's Jon, the general reaction is papersky's observation that it's cool that the universe has room for Jon to have a job being Jon Singer.
My mother also pointed out that Jon's employer, whom I have not yet met, must also be a cool person.

Yum, semicolons! With hundreds and thousands, no less! *munch*
In response to a report of a badly organized survey:
Yes, it's off-topic.
This is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
polyamory, not religion_ident or ericksonians. But I'm going to yield to my baser nature and answer the content.
If you expect, while you're writing something, to offend your audience, rewrite to remove the offensive text, don't weasel-word with "If anyone is offended in any way...I am sorry."
Were I offended, it wouldn't be by the linking of certain groups--though defining Wicca and Asatru as "sects" of the same thing is about as sensible as defining Parsees and Christians as the same because they're both sects of "sky God worship"--it would be by your blithe assertion that people who share your approach to religion are more intellectually sophisticated, capable of more abstraction, and more flexible than those who follow one or fewer religions.
Also, learn to spell and type: I've never in my life met an "athiest" or a "Bubbhist"--do the latter worship Bubba or Joe-Bob Briggs?
I seem to have lost some stuff to Semagic overwriting files when I didn't expect it to: I'm not sure whether this is me being careless, or an undesirable change in the code of the Semagic client. Thus, this abbreviated collection.
