Realm: Baby - Subrealm: ...?
I had this whole neat pattern worked out:
Two are writers. Two like slash. Two are beer snobs. Two (to my knowledge) contradance.
Three are Yalies. Three are Jews (of varying degrees of lapsed-ness). Three have played MtG. And I have been hiking with three (which is weird.)
All would probably enjoy dining at Miya’s.
[Then it occurred to me that I was forgetting the sister-in-law’s Frouse, and perhaps some others. Ah well. If present, the extra people would probably also enjoy the discussion of jewish paganism in the modern age, and of the politics of drunkenness, while eating alternative sushi.]
Anyway, who are these four+ people? What do they have in common, besides me and a fondness for unusual dinners?
Well, they are my informal shortlist of Peter’s UnGodparents.
UnGodparents are a category I came up with a few months ago. Godparents, as we know, are (supposed to be) those of your friends who are cool, and will help bring your newly-baptised child up to be godly. Logically, then, UnGodparents are those of you friends who would help you bring your child up to be ungodly: that is, all your friends who are massively cool, but not ideal godparent material, due to being atheists etc.
update: Posting interrupted by some sort of fire alarm going off. Oh well, got me out of work five minutes early.
Anyway on a related note: some of you have been curious as to when Peter's actual baptism is. A: next Saturday (Great Vigil of Easter), in St. John's in North Haven. So you can be thinking of us at around 7:30ish!

. . . Based on this statement, can I lobby to get my name on the list?

My family always had godaunts (and possibly, at one point, a goduncle; although I think a divorce may have rendered him moot). They were where the additional awesome friends of the family went.

(Anonymous) 2008-03-17 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)I actually had/have an un-God parent whose purpose in life as assigned by my parents was to avoid as far as possible my involvement in any organized religion (his method, for those interested, was to do basically nothing). His name, for better or worse, is Steve Miller (no band connection).
