Opening Post:

This blog is being started with a transfer over from my old Live Journal, so there will be some random entries before it turns into mostly travel.  -Nov 29, 2024

Welcome to my LJ. I don't know how often I'll post, but I finally felt like getting around to one. Most likely I'll use this to rant occasionally when the mundanity in my life gets to be to much.



I'm home for Christmas at the moment, and somethings been bugging me. I get along great with my parents but its awfully hard to talk to them. I can talk about work/engineering stuff with my dad just fine and even some social stuff but not much. My mom is a pastor and that makes things harder. I'm still nominally Christian, but my beliefs are rather personalized and pantheistic. This is not something I can really discuss with them. It's all little things like this, and probably wouldn't be a problem, even if I did talk to them, but it's just not something I can do. At that, I realize I'm pretty well off. My parents are still together, we get along fairly well, and I have friends who are much worse off. Oh well. I think mainly at the moment what I'm suffering from is a lack of weird friends I can talk to. I had them all through High School and College, but I haven't really found any in Richmond yet, so I am simply suffering from an overabundance of normalcy.
