I am sitting in my new (temporary) home, in a completely new city, with new roommates (people I know), on furniture I just bought after the move. Everything is unfamiliar and I have only a few select items with me, rather than surrounding myself with all my stuffs. However, oddly enough, I feel quite 'at home' anyways. The reason for this, I think, is that now that I have internet connected, I can plug myself into the world, from only a slightly different vantage point. I can also plug myself into my MMO of choice. It's like bringing a lot of friends with me, wherever I go. This one thing provides a lot of familiarity and so I am quite comfortable, even newly transplanted.
Thank you, internets.

About Me
- Anacredenza
- Anacredenza is a screen name I made up back when I first joined a debate forum. At that time, I was just about finished figuring out what my beliefs are, and the name, which means 'renewed belief' reflects that. I cannot claim to know everything (not even remotely close!), but I'm now comfortable with what I believe, which I discovered were my deep, though covered-up, thoughts all along, and have therefore been renewed. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but at least now I'm being true to myself. After figuring this out, I went back and talked with people who hold beliefs that I used to share, to test my new (and old) thoughts on the matter. After several years of that, I am much more comfortable with what I believe. I don't care very much about what other people believe any more, as long as they don't use their beliefs to justify harming other people. That said, I care a great deal about how people come to their conclusions - thorough, critical thinking skills are important, and if more people just knew how to think, the whole world could be a much less hostile place.
