jadedmusingsDay 09 - My Beliefs
"Beliefs" is a broad term. I'm going to interpret this as spiritual and/or religious beliefs, though I could write a couple of paragraphs describing my political leanings and still be true to the meme in a way. But, as I've demonstrated, I'm lazy and will go the spiritual and/or religious route.
I'm going to make this very simple: My spiritual and/or religious beliefs are no one's business but my own. Likewise, I don't really give a crap what Johnny and Suzie believe either. What I do care about is if someone tries to take away my right to believe what I want or to try and promote one path over another. You can believe your god is superior to mine all you want, but you need to keep it to yourself and leave me in peace and I'll do the same to you.
As for what I believe, it's complicated, and I'm not saying that to be mysterious or to be a jerk. The facts are my beliefs are so complicated that I'm still trying to figure them out myself. That, and I happen to think faith should be a private matter between a person and hir god(s)/dess(es). I can say that I am a hard polythestic pagan, that my beliefs have evolved over time and I am in the process of rediscovering myself spiritually after a long break from any sort of practice.
Regardless of the specifics, I believe above everything else that everyone has a right to worship or not worship whichever god(s)/dess(es) as zie sees fit so long as that worship does not harm another person or otherwise prevents someone else from practicing their faith as they please. And, that's really all I want to say about that.
Day 10 - My Physical Constitution
I rolled an 18 once when creating a character and I put that into my Con...oh, wait. Never mind.
Well, um, I'm fat. I have a nice rack, and I have hips. Oh, and I've got big feet (for a woman). I've started adapting an "I don't give a fuck" attitude when it comes to what other people think of my appearance, and so far that's working out pretty well because I get to wear clothing I love and that I think looks pretty nice on me.
Physically, I consider myself pretty strong, or at least strong enough that I can corral a rambunctious four-foot tall six year-old when the need arises, and strong enough that I can bathe a hyperactive fifty-pound Chow mix.
Uh, yeah, I really don't like describing myself in a lot of detail.
