Just last night, a fundamentalist twitter user made the collective eyes of atheists roll by saying Atheism was a religion, dodging all responses to the contrary (why would we expect anything more?). She then dived right into a silly round of, “So why are there different kinds of flowers, huh? How did stars form? Explain that!” Oh the amusement.
When I saw this comic strip, it made me think of all the times atheists have been accused of worshiping science and using it as a religion. Clearly, some folks have their English dictionaries on layaway. Let’s clear it up, shall we?

On my “wouldn’t that be rad sometime” wishlist: I’d really like a professionally designed logo for GodlessGirl.com; some help brainstorming other features for this site and fiddling with the template; and a matching re-do of my twitter background and avatar internet-wide.
Speaking of my avatar: I have a soft spot for my faceless cartoon girl. She’s anonymous like me, rather cute, and easily recognizable. I’m just not sure if I should stick with her. I threw her together last-minute when I needed an image for twitter back in ’09. Is she really a part of the Godlessgirl image? I’ve used the same avatar everywhere since I started this persona? I’m not sure how important she is to recognition and all that whatnot. Anyway, why am I harping on a stupid image?
The logo actually means something to me. I’d like to build a cohesive “look” to my site, but since I love changing the template once in a while, I’d like something that will grow with me and fit a few different looks.
If you’re interested in helping me, I’d like the text in Comic Sans with a Papyrus font change on mouseover. Also, if it could glitter like this and maybe make a sort of “glass crashing” noise when you click on it, that’d be soooooo cool. My goal is to gain exposure on this site.
Toodles!

Don’t know us yet? No worries! All you have to do is show up and buy something to eat or drink. We’re super friendly and it’s my first time meeting Jen and Hemant anyway, so let me take care of the shyness, mkay? 
I’d love to get to know all of you.
If you want to let us know you’re coming, leave a comment here or over at Jen’s post. Don’t be a stranger!
I promised a few of you that I’d do a review of Twitter desktop applications, but instead of showing you all of them, I picked my personal favorite, Tweetie for Mac. I also tried my hand at my new screencast software, ScreenFlow, to make this walk through. I highly recommend it as well!
Can you dig it? It’s also your first chance to listen to me ramble out loud. thou shalt not underestimate the power of my chattiness.
