Single, pretty much impossible to maintain more than friendship at this point.
What do you do in your spare time?
Play some video games (mostly Pokemon and WoW when I can afford time).

What do you like about yourself?
I like that people seem to like me. Is that too meta?
What do you dislike about yourself?
I try as hard as I can, but I still manage to argue on the internet every once in awhile. It's stupid and pointless and I'm always disappointed I didn't avoid it entirely.
What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
I don't know, I'm not my friends? :Y
What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
Is there something between agnostic and atheist? I respect other people's beliefs so long as they're not hurting anyone, but personally I just seem to lack the capacity to believe.
Do you drink?
Once in awhile. I usually can't justify spending money on it.
Do you smoke?
I have moderate to severe asthma, even if I wanted to I couldn't.
What are your major fears?
Medical emergencies. Not so much the actual health issues or procedures, but the amount of debt a hospital visit would incur.

Get a car, get my business off the ground, get outta my mom's for good in favor of living with some really close friends.

Yes, both. Most of my crushes are fictional because I have no social life. U_U

A feast of either Thai or Chinese food. Or both.

People who hate on oddball Pokemon like Probopass and Trubbish. Um excuse you buddy not everyone likes Lucario and Charizard. Weirdo Pokemon have more personality in one pixel than all the ~majestic dragons~ combined.

I too occasionally struggle with keeping my internet mouth shut when I see someone saying something awful.
-
There's times I do think it's important to tell people why what they said is harmful/wrong/etc, but I'd like to be more aware of just leaving at it "hey this is not okay because of xyz" instead of letting things get out of control. I hope that makes sense!

Fleas are the the literal devil.

I've had to deal with my cats picking them up so much over the years, it's awful. I mean they've probably got important ecological roles or something but if they just left me alone forever I'd throw a party.

That's just an atheist, says my atheist roommate. Also "one does not have to be a prick to be an atheist." Faust also says atheist doesn't dictate how you act, only how you believe. Faust is a secular humanist. Atheism is just about if you believe or don't believe in a god or gods.
There was another word I learned back when I was an atheist that some used to differentiate between atheists that didn't think about their atheism much and those that identified as being atheists. But I can't remember what it was. Basically you can just plain be one and its a normal thing like its a de facto thing about yourself, and then you can also make it part of your identity that you are an atheist like atheists in the freethought community seem to do. Faust adds that the people who make it part of their identity call it positive atheism, and THAT is the word that I heard, but I can't remember what the other type was called. I don't know if it was negative, but I doubt it, cause that seems wrong, but it might have been "natural" atheist.
Anyway there are a ton of different flavors of atheism/stuff tacked on but the most basic thing about atheism is that you don't believe in some god. Everything else, says Faust, is accessory.
ANYWAY
lol on your orientation.
"Medical emergencies. Not so much the actual health issues or procedures, but the amount of debt a hospital visit would incur."
This says something about America. I had food poisoning at a con once and two Canadians wanted to call an ambulance and while I was throwing up and all I in the middle of being sick I am like NO NO I CAN'T PAY FOR THAT. And one of them was like...you shouldn't have to decide in the middle of being sick and in the thick of it if you are sick enough to go to the hospital. Like hell, just the AMBULANCE bill I had once another time was like...no, just no.
"Most of my crushes are fictional"
Me too.

I'm just gonna reply to the first thing at the moment because I'm on my phone and can't scroll well, just a heads up!
I didn't know that stuff, so I've always kinda wondered which one I actually fit into. I've never seen atheism put into terms of just a lack of any beliefs, so that really explains a lot.
I actually really wanted to find some kind of spirituality for a long time when I was in high school, but I dunno, no matter how hard I tried it there just wasn't anything there. There's stuff about spiritual and/or religious people I admire a lot, and it's just as disappointing to me when people use their lack of belief to tear others down as it is when people do the same with their beliefs.
I did go through the pushy asshole atheist phase where I thought I was superior (wasn't really vocal, at least). But the older I get and the more people from different walks of life I meet, it's more and more a matter of letting people do what feels right to them as long as nobody's getting hurt.
I hope that made sense, I'm really not good at explaining this stuff.
-
Faust and I refer to that asshole atheist phase as the Angry Atheist phase and it seems to be a really, really, really common phase. I had that. I was an asshole. It was largely a reaction to growing up under beliefs that have harmed me.
-
I had a lot of close friends hurt by beliefs, so that makes a lot of sense.

The medical thing is scary. I had to go to the ER via ambulance because a vacuum bag split and triggered a really bad asthma attack and as soon as I could breathe a bit I pretty much cried all the way to the hospital because of anxiety over how expensive a trip like that is.
It's just really shitty and scary so many people are in the same boat.
