Splendid Me
November 21, 2007
My real name is Lucia Guatney, but I’m quite fond of the pseudonym Elles. You can use either one.
I’m a freethinker. I’m a freedom fighter. I’m an atheist. Agnostic on a technicality, but atheist sounds more radical and sexier. It also gets me dirty looks and awkward silences. I’m fifteen now. I hope to become a woman of science when I grow up. At the very least, I want to be a defender of reason. Richard Dawkins says I’ll leave a mark on the world someday. I interpret this to mean that I’ll either do something historical, or I will be fossilized. Either one would be really cool.
My goal is to bring a bit of light into the world. So… I guess what I have to say may be interesting.
Do whatever you want. Just wipe your feet on the mat and don’t spam. If you do, I’ll scrape it off my blog and shove it down your throat.
Feel free to write me anytime.

Humph…
Just be glad it wasn’t a chain letter. If I get a chain letter there will be a reckoning the likes of which this blog has not seen.

Hoping you accomplish your goal, Elles!
(Aslo hoping to join this atheist blogging myself, hopefully)

Elles,
I dig your blog. Have you heard of The Reason Driven Podcast? It’s my freethought podcast where we take a look at The Reason Driven Life by Robert Price. I heard about your blog from Reed Braden and I was wondering if you’d be interested in being interviewed on our podcast. Shoot me an email, reasondriven@gmail.com

Your writing is excellent (and also splendid). While reading a few of your comments I noticed that you mentioned Columbine and a dinosaur movie that I consider recent as if they were ancient history. The cognitive dissonance caused me to look further and find that you are much younger than you sound.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

I pimped you out, after linking here from both Bad Astronomy and SkepChicks.
I hope you don’t mind.
I hope I don’t get arrested, since you’re a minor and all, and the pimping of minors is really pretty icky.
Keep thinking critically!
