Change Rocks!

As in “change is rad”, not as in metamorphic rocks. But those are pretty damn cool, too.

I enjoy changing the aesthetic of my blog every once in a while. So far, I think I’ve sent GodlessGirl.com through about 4 or 5 significant layout swaps. Here’s a huge shout-out to WordPress! It’s what makes my “hopey changey” thing work so well. I can’t imagine using another blog platform! *wipes away a creeping tear*

This current theme was made by Spaceperson, and I snatched some inspiration from the fabulous new-to-me-and-immediately-subscribed blog Life Is Not a Movie. I should mention that this theme is named after one of my guilty pleasures of 80s television: Jessica Fletcher.

As always, GodlessGirl.com is a work in progress (especially since my old CSS doesn’t match this one, so subheads and captions look a bit off). But enough about code… it’s purtyful.

I’m diving into light, bright, and white: White space, bright colors, and light, airy tones of everything from music to interior design to emotion. Bring on the cheerfulness, the gaiety, the delight, and the deep breaths.

P.S. I also posted a brand new Disclosure Policy which will hopefully be clear enough to understand. Let me know if you have questions on what my blog is all about.

Have a lovely day/night. Toodleoo!

Blogger Challenge: The Honesty Project

I want to get to know you better and am eager to try an experiment. Are you up for an excercise in honesty that demands you to say one truthful thing about yourself every single day for one week?

This is my challenge!

Are you a blogger or journaler? Do you have a youtube channel? Do you have twitter or facebook? It doesn’t matter if you’re an atheist, republican, Canadian, teenager, stay-at-home mom, food blogger, cartoonist, scientist, or anything at all. There are no restrictions on who can participate.

Here’s What to Do

  1. Write, blog, plurk, tweet, or record one honest moment or thought each day for one week starting whenever you want.
  2. Be honest and take your time. Say something you may not have said to your audience before. It has to be about you, and it will hopefully be a bit more revealing of who you are than a statement like “I hate Chinese food.” Work with me here! If you’ve had writer’s block like I have, this could help you jump out of it. Use it as a springboard to talk about anything you like!
  3. When you start the challenge, leave your link below so we can all read it/watch it/fap to it.
  4. I’d appreciate it if you’d spread the word around so others could take part. You can link to this post and use the image above if you like! Tweet it, share it on facebook, or just keep it simple—your choice!
  5. There is no closing date, so come back and do it agin anytime!

One Year of Godlessgirl!

Godlessgirl.com has been live to the world for one whole year! Every single cliché about time passing you by, flying, or otherwise moving swiftly applies here. When I decided to create this blog, I was certain I would become some sort of internet phenom, bursting onto the blogging scene with something new and different that would charm the readers into subscribing, commenting, and loving me into online stardom.

A girl’s gotta dream, right? As I discovered after beginning Godlessgirl.com, I am only one rather unremarkable voice within a chorus of thousands. I gathered no fame, no large following, and (I am rather surprised to say) no hate mail. Am I disappointed? No. I’m thrilled to have a community around me of writers, thinkers, and friends whom I admire and enjoy. I especially want to send a shoutout to my tweathens! Thank you for being there for me and supporting my copious rants, links, updates, and musings. I may never be someone truly remarkable, but I know this blog has helped me make the startling and stuttering transition from “newborn angry closet atheist” to “more relaxed ready to come out atheist”. I’m on my way!

Thank you all for reading, commenting, and being a part of my life! Let’s continue to converse and know each other better. Please drop me a note anytime or ask me anything.
