I've always sort of wanted to be a twin. I have a brother, and right now our ages are close enough that we could ignore the age difference in most regards. Gotta love the little bro.

I was baptized on the same day as another girl in my church. We (the church) like to put lots of emphasis on the day we're baptized, treating it more or less exactly like a second birthday. And that makes us twins! And while it's mostly a joke, it IS sort of neat to share something random like a spirthday (haha it's a mongrel word!) with someone.

We didn't really know each other before we became Christians. For a while after, we only saw each other in passing. But lately we've been interacting more. Tonight she asked me what I was like before I got saved.

(After I bleat at her) "Was your personality before you got baptized similar to what it is now?"

"Yeah...mostly."

"What changed? Were you religious?"

I won't tell you what the answer was. Clearly I was religious. But can you guess what's changed? I don't think anyone here is going to be able to accurately pin me down like that...most of you only see me in what I write here. A grotesque caricature, as it were. Any changes you see are way out of context.

Sort of a weird thought.

I imagine you felt more purposeful, but not sure what else would have happened.

i think it's weird that a baptism can suddenly change you... don't people get baptized because they have changed, not in order to change?

Haha, no, the shady thing was a one time gig, although he asked if I could do it regularly...
