Lol, mellow and loving? I'm a Christian, not a hippy.
Don't worry, I wasn't offended like PB said I would be--I knew what you meant. With an SN like mine, I knew people would expect me to be all "peace and love" or a number of other stereotypes there are about Christians (judgemental, preachy, etc.) I'm very much an individual and don't fit into any one category, so I purposely chose this SN so that (over time) people would see the "Christian" in my name and link it to an actual human being, not a stereotype. I've been here 2 years and it's only beginning to happen.
As for grocery stores....I hate when people are in front of me in the self checkout and they don't know how to work it. Or when I'M using it and it flashes the "Wait for assistance" message and NOBODY comes. Not only does it hold me up, but it plays with my abadonment issues.
ETA: Umm...while I'm on the subject of stereotypes, I'd just like to point out that I shop at Wal-Mart. For heaven's sake, I just bought "The Fighting Temptations" for $4.88. Don't fight the roll-back.
