"Greets and salutes, Mike!There have been at least a couple discussions here on A|N about the issue of coming out. My personal take remains what it has been from the get-go: that the process of coming out is PERSONAL, that your own comfort…"

I think you're pretty cool, too...keep in mind that we all carry some kind of baggage, whether it's not having lots of friends (like me...I have great co-workers, but no BFF <-- hate that, but it fits) or feeling like you don't fit in. I'm kind of a loner and homebody and I know few atheists. A couple of people at work, but no circle of friends. There are great people on here, so I hope you find some groups you like. "Hang with Friends" is pretty active...and I have to spend more time here. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing more about you.

Thanks, Michael! Very glad to make your acquaintance :) I like heavy metal, too. Love Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Opeth, Led Zeppelin...but Rush is my all-time favorite band. I'm looking forward to your posts.
