For those that care to read my blog, I announce to you that I feel romantically curious about one of the moderators at Slime Knights. I notice this guy changed his profile to show interests similar to ones that I used to post. When news about Slime Knights members creating myspace profiles became the big news, I decided to read his profile. I was surprised to see he and I share quite a bit in common. In one of his blogs, he answered a bunch of questions, some of them pertaining to romance, and his answers are the same as how I would answer them. I told him about this, and he suggested that I read his livejournal. So, I added him as a friend at livejournal, and I began reading his blogs. I learned that he went through some tough times, similar to what I went through. His dad was abusive, and he issued an ultimatum for him to move out by a certain date. I experienced the same thing, a few years ago. Here, we have a guy that not only likes video games, but he is single, his romantic values are the same as mine, he shares other interests me as well, such as anime, learning foreign languages, cooking, psychology, and video game music. To top that off, we went through similar life-changing experiences. What else am I missing? Oh right. He is Mormon. Now, to delve into some family history. My mom grew up in a Mormon family. My dad did, as well. My parents marriage started okay, until my dad got into drugs and alcohol, which my mom didn't like. She got into them a little because of her husband, but she knew it was bad, she needed to get away from her bad influence, so she divorced her husband. Feeling disillusioned by the experience, she converted to Christianity. (My mom says that she wasn't that strong of a Mormon. Well, Mormons are forbidden to consume alcohol, anyways.) She then took my brother and I to Christian churches on Sundays. At some point, she fell in love with my step-father, had sex with him, felt guilty about the non-marital sex, so then she married him. My step-father's parents are Christian, but he seemed more spiritual than religious. Well, I basically grew up in a Christian family, but I had a bunch of Mormon relatives. At family gatherings, we didn't drink any soda, because my relatives couldn't have any caffeine for religious reasons. Upon learning about that, I decided to stop drinking soda, altogether. (I don't drink coffee, either.) I naturally can't stand cigarettes, but Mormons aren't allowed to smoke, which is a plus. I don't know much about the Mormon religion because I grew-up in a Christian household, but I feel that I can get along real well romantically with a Mormon. Even though I grew up in a Christian household, I felt that Christianity wasn't the religion for me. I felt very strongly about the unity of all religions, equality of women and men, and harmony of science and religion. These are principles that the Baha'i Faith teaches, but since I didn't hear about it until after I was 21 years old, as a 19-year old, I chose to affiliate with none of the existing religions. Once I learned about the Baha'i Faith, I felt that it rings true to me, and I signed my declaration card in April 1998. There are many similarities between the Baha'i Faith and the Mormon religion. Both began in the 1800s and believe in Christ's return as Holy Spirit in flesh. (Edit: I changed this due to my lack of knowledge of the LDS church, but I recently found correct info.) Both Faiths believe that marriage is eternal. I suppose there are more similarities, but I have not yet looked into them. (I should probably do so, because most of my family is Mormon...) I would be open to dating a Mormon, and perhaps marrying one. I wonder if that Slime Knights Moderator would be open to doing the same with a non-Mormon? I don't know, but from what I know of him so far, I think he is pretty cute. He may be fat, and I normally feel attracted to men that are muscular (not fat), but when there is love, looks don't matter at all. I have seen his face in his pictures, and his face looks cute. He posted his cell phone number on his livejournal blog. I telephoned him a few times, and from his voice mail message and our conversations, I feel that he is a very sweet guy. I would like to talk to him some more, but I worry about intruding on his busy life. I don't want to appear like a stalker. Really, I'm just curious about him... and spiritually attracted to him. In his recent entries, he posted his new address for where he lives now. He requested post cards. I didn't send him any... I wanted him to talk to me! Today, I decided to send him a post card. I hope he'll like that. It is quite a feat getting the attention of someone that has hundreds of friends. So, I take care in showing my interest in him through gentle means, such as comments to his blog posts and voice mail messages on his cell phone. Ha, I imagine that he already knows of my interest in him. I'm not exactly the most subtle person in the world. Now, this blog post makes it highly obvious. If the other Slime Knights moderator reads this, I predict that he will bring this to the attention of the moderator that I have been writing about.
