Warning to blog readers

This is my first post. 

I suppose this is where I warn you - there will be very little talk of frogs or snails.  I'm just weird like that.

I will probably not post regularly for any long period of time (just ask my journal).

I will probably offend plenty of people.  Not on purpose, but some people just don't like how blunt I am.

You probably won't like my blog if you don't like to read books.

I like math, I really like math, and accounting - so sometimes I might talk about that. BORING, I know...

I'm pretty nerdy... like make-obscure-Star-Wars-costumes-for-Halloween-nerdy.

I'm LDS, and I'll talk about that.  I also like learning about other cultures.

I'm pretty lousy at compliments - giving or receiving, just assume I find you beautiful inside and out, because I do.
I consider myself your friend, even if you totally hate me... I do strange things to help people I don't even know, so if you need help, or if one day you're thinking about how lonely you are, you can call me out of the blue, and I'll think it's completely normal, and feel privileged that you turned to me in your need.

P.S.  One of the things I despise the most is the censorship of ideas.  I think I've always hated it, even before I knew what it was called.  I remember being in the car with my dad while he was listening to Limbaugh (at that time I thought I was a Republican - HA!)  I didn't really understand what was being talked about.  But when someone called in and was presenting a well thought out counter argument, and Limbaugh hung up on them; I understood exactly what had happened, and it made me sick.  So one promise is that I will never delete comments - whether you agree with me or not, and I won't get offended.  Please try to stay on topic though...
