A Few Things I'd Like to Get off My Chest

THIS IS NOT A VENT JOURNAL, FIRST OF ALL. Nope. No venting here. This is literally just something where I post all the stuff about me that I feel like could come back to haunt me one day (because I'm paranoid like that ) and that I believe would be better off brought up by me ahead of time.



1. I am a Right-Wing Fundamentalist Creationist Christian. Basically, the internet's idea of a bigoted villain that the world would be better off without. And - to be honest - I'm frequently ticked off by all the hate directed at me (not me personally, you understand, but the group I belong in) for what I honestly believe.

2. I was not always a Right-Wing Fundamentalist Creationist Christian. No, I used to be what many would describe as just another average guy. I guess I could describe my former self as a hypocritical Christian wannabe. Oh, that reminds me:

3. I used to be the epitome of a hypocrite. Seriously. I went around preaching to people about what they shouldn't be doing, all the while secretly doing that exact same stuff. Am I proud of that? No. But I do wanna make a clean breast of it. Basically, when you think of the stereotype of a Christian, just add more hypocrisy, and remove any sincerity about the religion, and - boom - that's who I used to be. Not anymore.

4. I used to be into fanfics. I still am, to a certain extent, but not nearly as much as I used to be, and - hopefully - the writing quality of my fanfics now (which I will not link you to - I'm trying to keep it separate from IZTDM) is actually good. Seriously, they used to be nothing but a slew of profanity, gore, and violence, and with zero plot whatsoever. I deleted them. I deleted them hard. And they will never rise from their digital graves. Ever.

5. I used to be into shipping. This is worse. This is terrible. This is where I believe I was at my creative low point. I wasn't even good at writing shipfics (if there's such thing as a good shipfic...), it was just awful. And mixed in with hordes of violence and profanity and gore. Yeah.  Very glad I had an epiphany and realized how utterly stupid that is.

6. I used to be into a certain fandom. I used to be involved in writing fanfics (but not shipfics, because - by that point - I'd had an epiphany and realized how utterly stupid they are) in a certain fandom, one what's famous on the interwebz for its (un)intended adult male audience. I was only in it for roughly a year, mind you, and I realized shortly thereafter how much I really didn't care about it. And the fandom honestly started creeping me out. So I left and (hopefully) eradicated all traces of my presence in said fandom.
