I was Tagged - Here’s 8 Things You Don’t Know About Me
Here are the rules:
We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don’t forget to leave them each a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I am/was Mormon. In other words, I was raised Mormon. I don’t consider myself Mormon anymore - obviously - but technically I am because I haven’t sent in my letter of resignation yet. Not sure why to be honest. I have it written (it’s 5 pages) and I’ll post it here as soon as I send it in and get back confirmation that my name has been removed from their member list.
2. I have to wear a white t-shirt. I can be naked (I’m not a never nude), but if I’m wearing a shirt, I always have to wear a white t-shirt underneath it… even if it looks terrible.
3. I love Desperate Housewives.
4. I recently broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years.
5. I am obsessed with the iphone - more than is healthy - and have considered how long I would be willing to wait in line to make sure that I get one… 4 hours. I’m not the biggest apple fanboy out there but… still pathetic.
6. For some reason, I have no desire to have children. Maybe this will change as some point (I’m still young) but it is strange to me that my peers talk about wanting kids at some point. I have nothing against kids, it’s just not something that I think about and say to myself, “That would be nice, I want that.”
7. I have a BA in psychology and tell everyone I’m just taking time off before grad school. I would like to get my PhD eventually but, I don’t think that I want to go to grad school in the near to medium-far future. I think I just don’t like telling people I don’t have any grandiose plans at the moment.
8. I have a fear that I am boring to be around in social situations. Which is strange because I know that I am an interesting person. I’m just not very outgoing I suppose.
It is late and I don’t read enough blogs to come up with 8 to tag. I’ll have to put this on my todo list for tomorrow. Don’t mean to cheat but I need my sleep

I was a Mormon too, and still technically a Mormon since I don’t feel like writing them. If I did, I don’t think I’d write 5 pages. I don’t know who reads the resignation letters but I suspect 5 pages would be more than he’d be willing to read, especially if the 5 pages contain any slight criticisms of Mormonism. No doubt resignation letter reader will be very well trained in the religious art of being able to ignore facts that contradict their beliefs or at least interpret anything not published by the church as lies manufactured by the anti-Mormon conspiracy organization whose members are jealous of or mad at the LDS church.
They don’t put you on their list when you’re born, but when they assume you’re old enough to make an educated decision free of parental pressure, which is eight years old of course.

Null,
Yup. They keep meticulous records of their membership so that they can keep claiming that their church is growing. In fact, many, many people on their membership roles are inactive and have no intention of returning.
Mono,
Yeah, I don’t really expect anyone at church headquarters to give the letter much attention. But, from what I understand, your letter of resignation is then forwarded to your local bishop who may try to contact you. I would like my bishop to know my reasons for leaving the church. Besides all that, I found it a cathartic exercise.
