I Want You to Read This Before You Add Me to Your Circle

Some Information About Me... No, you don't have to read this before you add me, but if you want to know a few things about me beforehand, here's an appetizer.

My name is Charlie. You can call me whatever you like, I've had every nickname in the book, but don't call me Charles. I hate it! I'm 20 years old, a junior in college. I'm planning on majoring in English. I really have no idea what I'm going to do with that degree. My initial thought is in publishing or editing. I'd love to write full time, but until I get a few things published, I need to work, and what better place to work than somewhere where I can do a lot of reading and writing? :)

I'm a bit nerdy and goofy. I tend to daydream a lot. I'm a very awkward person on first meeting, but become more outgoing with continued comfortableness. In contrast, I'm generally more candid and open here, behind the seeming safety of a computer screen.

I enjoy conversation, about anything and everything, so feel free to talk to me anytime you'd like to discuss something with somebody. Wow, a lot of indefinite pronouns in that sentence. To sum up better, and less confusing, feel free to message me, or comment on something, if you'd like to chat!

A sidenote on religion: I don't like to be preached to or condescended to. I'm not sold either way on any god, but am against most forms of organized religion. Don't add me if you want to preach to me or to beat me over the head with your beliefs. I respect your beliefs and opinions, so please respect mine. I'd be more than happy to discuss various aspects of religion or belief, but I have my own position; I don't want to be converted or 'saved,' so please "treat me as you would like to be treated."

I guess that's it. If you want to know more about me, or have any questions, or want to talk about anything, add me, comment, message, and I'll be more than happy to talk! :)

Nice to meet you Charlie!

I love the paragraph you dedicated to religion :) That is the EXACT way I feel.

I am also very awkward, but always smile and try to make conversation. I'm a dreamer and an optimist for the most part.

Thank you for befriending me!

Nice to meet you too!

Haha, it's just a precaution. Nothing against religious people, just fanaticism. I don't encounter fanatics often, but can't be too careful!

I am much akin to that sentiment :)

I feel the same way about religion. I recently had someone like that attack me with a barrage of disrespectful comments on one of my stories. Why can't they just "live and let live"?

Yeah, I just read that mess. Some people just aren't happy living with their own beliefs and convictions.

I like palaver. And sesquipedalian. My favorite at the moment would have to be halcyon.

I love the word egad. Most definitely an underused word!

My favorite word is probably persnickety. Egad is up there, though.

Sesquipedalian is a good one! So fitting!

Egad. You sound like me.

Thank you! (I think!) :)
