Sit back, relax, and introduce yourself!
This is a journal where you can post an introduction to get yourself situated here. Just say a bit about yourself; it's not that hard.
I've posted a basic introduction below.

Though I can't say I've been a skeptic for too long, I've considered myself one for close to a year. Like most, I'm interested in keeping my worldviews and opinions as close to reality as possible. I'm currently studying as an art student and supplementing my education by reading about the various branches of science.
Along with that, I'm a fan of progressive metal and drum and base music. I play the keyboards on a casual basis, and collect Magic the Gathering cards.
I have always been a bit of a skeptic, but I only really started applying critical thinking to all aspects about last year.
This was because I was Christian for around three years.
I would be skeptical of claims such as fairies and unicorns, but would not apply that same skepticism to my own religious beliefs. However, when I realised the fallacy I was getting caught up in and started to evaluate my position, I reached a different conclusion, which is why today I consider myself a skeptic and an atheist.
I am a big fan of Richard Dawkins, and was even before I lost my faith in superstition, and am also a huge supporter of using the scientific method to evaluate a claim - no matter if it is a new scientific hypothesis or someone's beliefs.
