I just wanted to direct you, if you're interested, to an article someone wrote about me.
If the title and sub titles don't get me excommunicated I will be a lucky, lucky girl.
Perhaps people will see Sagan's bow and I'll make a fortune.
Maybe a couple of people will stop by and say nice/mean things.
A couple more "followers" would be nice. More subscribers. A book offer, mm? I like to be read.
Anyway, big, huge, tremendous thanks to Karen Maezen Miller for writing such a nice, open, complimentary piece about my silly life and opinions (Greg especially likes the bit about him being "sage and sane" *snort*).
Go read it, tell others. Make me famous. Not too famous though, I'm shy.
P.S. I just wanted to clarify one thing. It's been bugging me, the subtitle of the article says "gay marriage (fine with her)" and while I'm pretty sure you could find several instances here on my blog where I've said and implied that - I'm not fine with gay marriage, per se. What I advocate is a universal civil union for all couples, granted by the federal government, which would give all of us fair and equal protection and benefits, regardless of plumbing. Let the churches dictate terms of marriage as they will and let congress make no law abridging the free exercise thereof. That's specifically what she says about that.

Great article. 100 bonus points.
You are famous to me!
Congrats! It's always fun to read your stuff. Have to say I'm suprised that it's taken this long for someone to comment on the fact your blog address makes me thing you're in the soup business :-)
My LDS bot brought up the article that talked about your blog. I have to say, I just read one screen and I'm comforted/alarmed that there's another LDS member who thinks like me (my husband is more alarmed than comforted -- the way you interact w/your husband/the world sounds too similar). So hoorah, I don't think you're going to Hell. Besides, you like Jonathan Coulton; that alone makes you good people.
(You can look at my blog if you like, but most of the entries are friends/'net friends only so you wouldn't be able to read much.)
Hi! A friend shared the article about you on Facebook, so I figured I'd stop by and say hello. I'm a fellow Utah Mormon blogger... stereotype me as you wish :)
mrs broth is actually something they use in biology studies to grow stuff. Don't eat the mrs broth...
it's nice to know another mormon out there wants "universal civil union for all couples, granted by the federal government, which would give all of us fair and equal protection and benefits, regardless of plumbing." I like how you put that. I had such a terrible time over prop 8. I was torn. I see both sides. So, I stumbled upon your blog after reading CJANE and I saw the article... I had a discussion just last night with my husband about wanting my girls to think for themselves! I'm lucky I married a man who wasn't mormon but then became mormon but isn't "mormony". I'm not the best at communicating how I feel but I'm glad I found you because you communicate so perfectly. Thank you.
I am glad to have across your article today. My husband and I are LDS also, and share many of your views! (:
Thank you for sharing!
This is really cool Brandy -- congrats!
