I'm Lucy. I am eighteen years old, and more details will follow here:

Religious Affiliation: Atheist with strong Reconstructionist Jewish leanings. Music: The Decemberists, Belle and Sebastian, PJ Harvey, Le Tigre, Neutral Milk Hotel, Golem!, the New Pornographers, the Ditty Bops, the Arcade Fire, et al. Voice type:  Soprano. Languages: I would like to learn Yiddish, Hebrew, and Gaelic, and become fluent in French.

My user name comes from the Sandman books. It was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Opinions: - I think that if you believe in conspiracy theories you need to get your head checked. - If you believe that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are real, you have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that you ride the short bus to school (in other words, you're an idiot), since they're fake. - I think that evolution can be reconciled with a belief in a higher being. - I oppose teaching creationism in school. - I oppose passing creationism off as science (along with intelligent design). - I believe that Scientology should have its religious status taken away, since it is a business scam masquerading as a religion. - I believe the same for the Westboro Baptist Church as well. What they do is show up at funerals and wait to be assaulted so they can sue. Also, it's a dangerous cult headed by a narcissistic psychopath. - I find militant atheists just as irritating as religious fundamentalists. - Don't try to convert me. - I am a proud feminist. I do not necessarily hate men or blame all of my woes on "the patriarchy", but I believe that women should be equal to men in all aspects and have access to birth control. - If you are a man, please stay out of the abortion debate, since you are unable to bear children and your opinion means nothing. - I believe that banning books is pointless because people will find a way to read them anyway. - I despise Holocaust deniers. - I fear death. - I am currently teaching myself Hebrew, and would like to learn Gaelic as well. - I think Christian anarchism is awesome. I'm not a Christian or an anarchist, but I think it's amazing that the two can be synthesized. - Gothic Lolita fashion is the shit.  Asperger Syndrome I have Asperger syndrome. I was not self-diagnosed, and while it does have its perks, it's not all that it's cracked up to be. It's irritating that almost everyone claims to have it which leads people to believe that it's made-up. It's also an autistic spectrum disorder, so I think that if more people found out that it could easily be described as autism lite, less people would claim to have it. I think it might lose some of its allure once you find yourself reading the same few pages of a book over and over again, studying them like they're the Talmud. On the bright side, most people with Asperger's are considered to be bright.

Don't bother looking for my Livejournal, since it's private and I never update it anymore. I'm now on Insanejournal, and don't look for me there either since again, it's private.

I loathe racism, sexism, homophobia and anti-Semitism in all forms.

People who need to STFU because they have no idea what the hell they're talking about and are simply contributing to the dumbing-down of the United States: - Michael Behe - Robert Spencer - Anyone who's written one of the Politically Incorrect Guides - Kent Hovind - Ken Ham - The Independent Women's Forum - Ann Coulter
