Well, this makes my third blog (fourth if you count facebook - which I don't), but since I hope to cross post all three (or some such low number) of my thoughts on all of them, we shall see how much good signing up does.
Until I get my interests edited, here's a bit about me:
Christian
Calvinist/Reformed/philosophical compatibilist/etc.
Conservative in name and nature
English Lit/Piano major in senior undergraduate year
from Minnesota, going to school in Tennessee
Baptist, but not Southern
Fan of:
Jane Austen
C. S. Lewis
J. R. R. Tolkien
Joss Whedon
Sherlock Holmes
Orson Scott Card
Tamora Pierce
literary criticism and analysis, though with reservations about both subversive crit and criticism of complaint (or whatever Bloom called it - as absurd and pretentious as he gets, I think he's dead on in that respect. Well, that and his judgment that Poe couldn't write)
So, there me is. In all my less-than-glory.
About Me

- If you actually want to read my blog, it's at http://ibmiller.livejournal.com. This is really just my profile I use for commenting on blogger. Annotated Quotes: "Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better." Batman Begins. One of the few films/books which have actually changed/shaped the way I thought. This quotation gives voice to the discomfort I've always had with revenge stories. ANGEL (bitterly) "Am I a thing worth saving? Am I a righteous man? The world wants me gone." Joss Whedon, Amends. Whedon is one of the most God-haunted agnostics I've ever read/watched. In addition to his brilliant writing, his work often (not always, unfortunately, but often) deals with intense moral issues like redemption, atonement, and the masterful way he handles them often profoundly moves me. "We read to know we're not alone. Some might say, we love to know we're not alone." William Nicholson, Shadowlands. Oh, and I'm male.
