I am a twenty-seven year old writer and theologian who is currently stuck in working at a software company. Most days I'm too tired to write and too mired in stress to think Deep Thoughts of any kind. But I know that it's all going to be alright. Somehow.

In this journal, you'll probably read a lot about my angst. It may be a bit annoying, so I'll try to be as positive as honesty and integrity will allow. Some of the angst is about my job, which is still pretty new to me. A lot of the angst is church-related. My husband says I'm a roaming Catholic. For those who are into boring descriptions about things theological, I am a sacramentalist who loves the traditions of the church, is fiercely committed to the priesthood of all believers and is extremely wary of most institutions. This places me in a vast ecclesiastical no-man's-land, and I don't know if I'll ever find a church where I feel at home. I'm learning to live with it, though. Little by little.

My LJ name is Magic Snail because I am the Magic Snail. My husband's nickname for me is Zauberschnecke, which means Magic Snail in German. This is a fitting name for me, because I am slow and whimsical. Since he started called me this name, I've come to refer to the things that make me as my Snaily-ness. My creativity and spiritedness and all the things that I like about myself, and also my slowness and tendency to crawl up in my shell when I'm sad. I get very overwealmed by like, but the reality is that I just need to show up and be Snaily, and let the magic take care of the rest.
