Greetings

[Azure]

Hello there, everyone. I'm new around here, just joined a few minutes ago. I am an atheist and I have recently changed my world view to be more positive and happy about things so I think this would be a very good place for me to be. I am a gay male, nearly 27 years old, living in the great state of Kansas with my wonderful partner of nearly two years, my sister in law, and my brother in law when he returns from Afghanistan. I am a huge book worm and I love movies, especially sci-fi, action and horror. I will also admit that as a guilt pleasure I also like a lot of the Disney movies, especially the older ones, the Classics if you will. Well, I can't think of much more to say, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi Azure

Did anything in particular cause you recent change in attitude? Are you an ex-theist or a never theist?

Thanks for making the effort to sign up and join in.

Welcome to HAF.

Hi there, I'm a newbie who likes sci-fi and Disney movies too!

Hi there, I'm a newbie who likes sci-fi and Disney movies too!

There are quite a few SiFi buffs around here. I have just finished the Commonwealth Saga and Void Trilogy by Peter F Hamilton. What sort of thing do you two like?

[Amicale]

Hey, Azure, welcome!

Looks like we've got quite a bit in common, including being bookworms, movie buffs, and fans of action and sci-fi. And yes, I also have a fondness for more than a few Disney movies. 

I'm glad you decided to join up! It's funny how many atheists are nerds or geeks, eh?

Hi Azure

Did anything in particular cause you recent change in attitude? Are you an ex-theist or a never theist?

In all truthfulness I would have to say I am a never theist, as I am not all that sure I ever believed in any of the mythologies I studied from childhood on. As to my recent change in attitude I guess you could say I got tired of being a negative person. It made my life less fun and much more difficult.

To the rest of you thank you very much for the welcome. I don't find it at all weird that most of our group tend to be nerds, or geeks, or sci-fi fanatics.

Welcome, Azure!  Seems to me you'll fit in here.

That's a good thing to hear. Being negative often leads to a victim mentality which can lead to depression, which is often the start of of a downward negative feedback loop.

In my experience the majority of people that inhabit forums tend to be nerds, geeks and sci-fi fanatics

Is your BIL at the sharp end in Afghanistan or in a relatively safe place?

Hello and welcome!
I like the colour Azure. It's nice.
There do tend to be a few of us geeky sorts, so you should fit right in!

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the intro.
Favorite Disney classic?

[ThinkAnarchy]

Welcome aboard. I enjoy sci-fi as well; I just wish I read more of them. I'm currently watching Fringe. It started off terrible, but after plowing through the first few episodes it has become very enjoyable.

Action movies are one of my guilty pleasures. I don't like enjoying them purely for the explosions and suspense, but can't help myself.

[Azure]

Tank: I am unsure where he is stationed exactly. I haven't asked because I wasn't sure he would even be able to tell me.

McQ: I would have to say my favorite Disney Classic is Alice in Wonderland because it has been one of my favorite stories since I was a small child. VERY close second is Little Mermaid, with my favorite character being Ursula. And yes, I realize that I just showed you all how very gay I really am.

To the rest of you, thank you for the very warm welcome, especially you ThinkAnarchy for the simple reason that Invader Zim is possibly the best cartoon ever created and you have Zim as your avatar.

Welcome Azure. 

I must've watched The Little Mermaid one thousand times with my daughter up until she was 4ish.  To this day, I hear and see the opening blue screen with Cinderella's Castle and Tinkerbell at the beginning of a Disney movie and my mind instantly goes to The Little Mermaid intro music...

Anyway, welcome.  You're in good hands here at HAF.
