How did I manage not to do this?
I've known intravox for years - well over a decade, actually. I've known about the Flying Spaghetti Monster since 2006 at least.
Somehow, I never told her about it. She only found out about it today.
I just - what? How did I miss doing that? I mean, if she were a particularly devout follower of any religion or belief system, I can see how I might have avoided bringing it up so as not to offend her. But she has roughly the same outlook on religion I do. It's exactly the kind of thing you'd think I'd tell her about at the first opportunity.
The only thing I can think of is that it came to my attention during one of the times we were out of contact (because we go through phases of being terrible at keeping in touch) or it was difficult to make contact (work schedules, computer issues, time differences - while my perpetually broke-ass self stays put, my friends travel the world and bring me presents! ^_^). Because otherwise, seriously self, what the hell?
