a) I think initially it was because of your awesome huge TL'DR posts of conspiracy and cartoons, and also because I got to know you partially through chat and through Immi and I liked what I saw. :D

b) alchemy hur hur hurrrr.

c) You are not afraid to show your inner nerd. And it's awesome.

d) Chatting it up on AIM was always interesting, when you did show up.

e) How did you initially get into your alchemical and cultist know-how in the first place?

f) I have to say that your Nigredo/Albedo/Rubedo icon with HaouEyes!Juudai is one of my personal faves. That and your Lolpenisbird icon.

I use it for you now. =B

I got into alchemy and the occult through a fortuitous sequence of coincidences. My mother's midlife crisis involved dragging my sisters and I through every church, religion, and new-age trancendentalist movement in the greater western Washington area. I'd already had a healthy fascination with Judeochristian and Gnostic history and such due to my upbringing and some of my father's old papers from when he was in seminary, and the experience really opened me up to a whole wider world of religions and religious ideas to study.
Add to that the fact that I was a chemistry geek at that age, and many of the newage stores my mother started chilling at had books on alchemy, which told me I could have religion and chemistry at the same time.
Then add to THAT an estate sale at which I was able to rescue what literally was almost the entire library, personal work journal collection, and lab set of a groovy old greek alchemist from the junk heap.
Then add to that the fact that I'm socially inept and had almost literally had nothing else to do with my time. Sprinkle with neurosis, garnish with addiction-prone personality, and voila! Serves hundreds!

Also lawl I need to start getting on AIM again. =B

yaaaaaaay :D
