I have a rifle and a frying pan and I know how to use them
I got all internet stalker on an ex girlfriend.

Just so you youngsters know, the end of the relationship was further in the past than some of you have existed (1990).

I was flipping through some old photo albums and saw a picture of this particular person. She was someone special to me and I hadn't thought about her for decades. I thought "Hmm, wonder what she's up to these days? Well, off to :google: I go!

Some background: This woman was (when I knew her) an an agnostic bordering on atheist, a feminist in the best sense of the word, a sensualist who enjoyed all manner of pleasures, and an intensely sexual and adventurous in bed person. She managed a restaurant after dropping out of college due to lack of funds. She drank but not to sloppy excess, smoked a periodic bit of pot, and had a crunchy Lilith fair "connected to the earth and her sisters on this planet" aura. She had tattoos. Back in the late 80's that was still fairly uncommon. She had pierced nipples and a pierced clit. Even MORE uncommon in the late 80's Things happened (much based around that I was an angry distant rear end in a top hat) and the relationship ended.

The google search shows she got married. Nothing so surprising there.

Then I see the next hit is she is a Youth minister in a Pentecostal Church.

I look up the particulars on the Pentecostal sect she's part of and it somewhat surprised me.

Ever seen "Jesus Camp"? The folks who speak in tongues, believe in faith healing (not "I'll pray for you", but full on Whack-you-in-the-forehead CANCER BE GONE! stuff), think women should not be in leadership roles but rather as helpers and taking care of the kids and family (and can't be ordained, should be submissive, etc.)and all that jazz?

Yep, that's it.

Something big must have happened in the last 20 years to have so significantly altered her trajectory and I can't help wondering what it was.

I was raised agnostic/secular, with no religion, so it was loving weird when my sister got married and started going to church. She is real into it, too: volunteered to bake the corpse crackers every week, rings bells for the choir. At least she is a Lutheran, though, they are mild and mostly reasonable.

A brother of a friend of mine, though... he is in a Christian Fundie sect so small that they have no church, only a handful of other yahoos on the internet. They don't just speak in tongues, they literally get high on Jesus. They have a small ceramic baby Jesus figure that they hold up to their lips and "puff" on, as it were a big fat joint. Then they start laughing manically, rolling around on the ground and babbling. It's a sight.

Except Missouri Synod. They refused to allow one of my friends to attend a wedding because she's a Sikh. Like, they stood outside and made sure she didn't enter the church. And this was before 9/11.

:stare: Jeez. When I was still religious, I was WELS Lutheran, and the whispering and rumors were that the Missouri Synod were the weird "liberal" Lutherans out there and we shouldn't associate with them. I couldn't see any of the congregations I was close with doing something like that. Dang.

I guess that the main advantage of belonging to a subset of humanity is that you can be pre-judicial towards any one not in your subset.

My subset agrees with everybody else though 'yeah, we don't like us too'.

Seriously though, it is good to see idiots perform tasks as the one you describe Bart, because it beautifully contrasts what we're capable off. These people deserve to be loved more than the rest, because they are what motivates us to move ahead, and not look back.

I can't take credit. I met up with her out of the blue when I was back in my old college town about 5 years after I graduated. Seemed like her old self then.

She wanted to ride the wild Nosmo one more time, but I was engaged and had to decline politely. I don't think missing out on another spin on my dork is what pushed her over the edge.

Subsets of subsets get to do that, too.

Dear food e/n,

I'd like to thank you. Even when completely wasted, I can now make stovetop popcorn while completely wasted and watch Fear and Loathing.

I oversalted it, but I'm balancing that out with more beer.

I'd also like to thank autocorrect for making this post at least semi-coherent.

Heads up for future N/ICSA hosts:

To minimize lag between competitions, I've made a new rule stating that the next chairman has two weeks to post their N/ICSA (or get in touch with me) after voting for the last N/ICSA closes. I'll still try and make sure everyone knows when they're next, but it's the chairman's responsibility to be ready to go within the two week timeframe. If you don't get your N/ICSA up or contact me within two weeks, you move to the back of the line. It's too confusing for everyone to try and bump hosts up and down the line. Hopefully this will result in more N/ICSAs and less confusion.


That said, we could use some volunteers for hosts! The queue for both NICSA and ICSA is very short.
