Just what the title says. I want to get to know you people, so tell me about yourselves. If you live nearby, even better; maybe someday we'll meet, if not, no problem. What do you think people should know about you? What are you interested in? What do you want to do with your life? Whatever, just advertise yourself! To kick it off... I'm Sylvain, a 6'2" red haired guy; I'm 18, my birthday is September 24th (12:31 in the afternoon to be exact ). I live in Hull, which is across the river and the Ontario/ Quebec border from Ottawa. I didn't live in the city until I was 15 though, and I seem to have been moving around ever since quite a lot. Before 15 I lived in the woods an hour or so north of here where NOBODY speaks english, and then for a while in a small town just twenty minutes north, where english became my main language. I'm very much into the arts. I've been writing poetry and stories for most of my life (I love fables and fairy tales) and dabbling in painting and other visual arts, but in recent years I've gravitated more towards music. I mainly play fretless bass, but also fiddle around with guitar, piano/keyboards, djembe, tenor recorder, and whatever else I can get my hands on. I was brought up on classical but lately I seem to be concentrating on experimental dance and ambient kinds of stuff (shamelss promotion: http://www.myspace.com/baykokballtownhouse). I've always been pretty introverted, I suffer from social anxiety and manic depression but I'm doing alright. Not complaining. I do love to be with friends but I left cegep (college in Quebec) about a year and a half ago so I really haven't seen anybody much since then. I spend most of my non-music practicing time wandering around in the beautiful forests around here, where I get most of my inspiration and where I'm at peace, barefoot when possible. I've always wanted to live on a commune, growing my own food (I'm a vegetarian btw) and you know, sharing those good vibes with others. I'd love to have a few cats there and a lover who I can go off on silly adventures with in the woods or just relax and chat with, watch the sun rise... Last summer I hitchhiked across Canada and this summer I'm heading out to the east coast (which will be much easier) for a couple months. So if you see me around, pick me up! And I'm sure I'll think of more to say, but I don't want this to go on too long, so I'll leave it at that. So what about you?
Hello Sylvain, nice to meet you. You have lovely hair; my hair is red too (sort of chestnut colour) and long. What does your username mean? Thank you for creating the opportunity for us to talk about ourselves (it is the subject we know best, after all) My name is Purplesage. I'm 36 - I had a birthday yesterday. It was a pretty shit birthday but you get that sometimes, especially as you get older. I live in Sydney Australia I am married and raising twin boys who just turned one year old. I do some graphic/web work from home and I'm realising that working and twins don't really mix, especially with deadline-oriented work. When this current project is over (designing a site for my main client) I'm going to give work the flick until the boys start school. Well not totally... I am a mini-entrepreneur at heart so I may try and start selling knitting and crochet projects on-line somehow. Maybe on my own site. I have done the 9-to-5 thing sporadically and though I miss the money I would like to try and find other ways of getting through life (it helps having a husband who does work 9-to-5 though ) I am what you would call a loner and am not good at forming close friendships. Even on boards such as these I'm pretty much a solo operator, which can be really hard sometimes especially since I have no friends in "real life" either so it makes me question myself and whether I am just a person who drives people away instead of drawing them to me. I know a little bit about a lot and I tend to have strong opinions but I am usually too afraid to express them for fear of putting off people. I am my harshest critic. I am quiet and shy. A dream would be to have a group of really cool friends but I am content with my little family around me. Apart from my siblings and my husband, I don't feel like I fit in with people my own age. I am somewhat vain and am afraid of ageing, mainly because I don't feel my age at all. I feel like I never grew up after say 16 or 18. I am starting to see wrinkles and this is depressing me as it reminds me that I am twice the age I feel, and that I am approaching middle age. I have very fond memories from age 20 to about 23 when I started to have independence from my parents (and did have a network of cool friends) and started to feel happy about myself and my life. I have only been camping once but my sister is going to take me for a weekend in the next few weeks. I can't wait, I have been itching to start the whole camping thing. It's very cheap too! I have been interested in the 1960s (particularly the latter half) since I was about 16. I am not just interested in hippies, I am interested in all aspects, including mainstream day-to-day life of that time. I got my period yesterday (on my birthday, hurrah) so I'm a bit hormonal right now so excuse any boo-hoo moments OK that's enough from me.
Hi Purplesage. Thanks for posting, and happy birthday! You seem quite a lot like me really, must be the red hair. Lemongait is just one of a number of names I've given myself over the years... another is Wimchomble. I guess I like names or something, haha.
My name is Jenn, but people call me Bumble or Moja. I'm from suburban Philly. I'm 20. I'll be 21 on May 28. I'm finishing up my 2nd year of college as an elementary/special education major. I want to eventually be a teacher. I have no clue as to what state I want to teach in. I need to explore more states to decide on where I want to live/teach at. I'm leaning towards southern cali. I loved it there. I absolutely love to travel. I feel trapped because I haven't been able to travel much because of school. I only have 2 years left. I play the flute and keyboard in a band. Most of my time is spent making music. I make clothes. I can make anything if I'm given the right materials. I love meeting positive people. I love writing. I'm writing a lot of short stories and poems and hoping to put them together into a book. I don't think i'm leaving anything out.
I'm Brittney, I'm not very good at writing about myself, so I'll make some jot notes - is blonde - likes to chill out on a sunny day - sleeps with a stuffed pelushi Monkey named Stanley - I paint my toenails religiously - I play guitar, and like to play John Mayer and Ben Harper songs - I live in Ontario Canadaland - I want to live in Long Beach California - I love ska, acoustic music and hippy music - Jambands = love - I'm 6 feet tall - I can't drive legally - I should be able to drive legally - I live in my basement and have no life (unless it revolves around rugby) - I play womens rugby and highschool rugby - I want to be a journalist or a history teacher - I want to speak french again thats all i can think of
Hey! I’m stacy. I’m 20 (not 21 till Oct 12 about 3:15 in the morning) As far as the physical descrip, thats my pic below. I live in New Jersey, hope to relocate to North Carolina one day. I work full time at a coffee shop. I was also in college full time (majoring in elementary and special education and focusing/minoring in studio arts) but that’s on hold for now, and hopefully I’ll go back to school at some point. It disappoints me that I couldn’t keep motivated, but I think time off is best for me. I’m kinda trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life. I’m hitting that lost/confused stage it get, but I think everyone has one. I’m just trying to live life as it comes and figure myself out. I love art, I paint, draw and sculpt and love photography as well (my camera broke and im utterly heartbroken). I love animals. Want a huge house just so i can have a ton of pets taking it over . I love planning events to benefit either the environment or social issues. I love hiking and camping. I could spend every day going to concerts and festivals and traveling. It stinks that I don’t get to do any of that too often. Music and art are my life. I guess its cheesy but music gets me through everything- ive always got something that relates; happy, sad, whatever. Art is an amazing outlet. Crafts help me relax and pass the time (and help make some extra cash) I’ve got some great, close friends who I know are there for me through thick and thin. I’ve got a guy who understands me better than anyone ever has and keeps me grounded. For now- I’m just living life in the now, having fun and trying to figure it all out! Always up for new friends! http://www.myspace.com/24045955 or IM me @ sugaree13s Pease, y’all
Hello to everyone who's posted. You all sound really cool! I'm happy to see people actually responded, haha.
Ok, there I go! I'm Sarah, and I was born on 28 September 1990, which means I'm 15 now. I'm Dutch, which means Dutch is my first language aswell. English is my second! I also speak a little bit of French, and a tiny bit of German. I live in Enschede, a city near the German border. Even though I live so close to Germany, I totally suck at speaking German! The only languages I'm actually interested in are English and Dutch anyway.. I put a lot of time and effort into learning English as good as possible! Oh yeah.. and I live with my parents and my 14-year-old brother. One of my biggest passions is (and has always been) music. I've always been singing in -for example- national choirs, but I prefer singing music I like. I have a low singing voice, which means I'm an alto, for those who are interested For the past couple of months I've been playing the guitar. I've taught myself so far, and I can play many songs already! No complicated guitarsolos for me though (yet)! I can listen to many stuff. From heavy metal to folk.. I can't really stand gangsta rap though... Anyway! I also love art. I've been drawing pencil portraits for about a year now, and it's cool to see your own improvements and to find out new techniques that make your drawings look better! Photography is fun too! Besides, I love travelling. I've been to many countries so far, it's interesting to find out what their cultures are like. Especially when you're living in a guest-family, it gives you a clear view of the culture. I've lived in guest families in Kosice (Slovakia) and San Francisco so far. Barcelona (Spain) will be next! Not much interesting stuff left to say really...
Nice to meet you, & others. I'm boring, but I like your idea of an ideal lifestyle. I wish I could do that too.

my name's Isaac i am in year 10 at a very stupid school i skateboard when the mood hits me, but i closed away from the stupid media side of it. i like to toke, but im not into the whole 'stoner 420' type of thing, i do think its an amazing herb, not a culture. im heterosexual, though DENIFATELY not homophobic to others. i dont care what anyone does, as long as it doesnt harm others. i like meditation, centers me, helps me work things out. i dont hook up with randoms at parties (dont go to highschool type parties anymore), if i love someone then i will. i love everyone (in a different way) before ive met them (at least i try to), and can usually see the good side to people even if they try to hide it, and when i get to know them i love them even more. i like big old trees i like grass i like anything forests contain i love creating art that shows the mystery and magic of this world i love seeing other peoples art, whether its music photography or running in a circle. i dont drink alcohol anymore, if i did it would be with a few friends just lazing back talking. i like changing routines for the sake of it i love autumn in the mountains because of the carpet of beaming bright leaves it creates i think you should all go download a song by a band you have been meaning to check out, and then go outside and listen to it the sound of rain is damn fine love is real ego-feeding drugs are bad bad bad, not the person that does them. i would never touch cocaine or meth, i also think ill steer clear of opiates. i think/know the beatles in my lawn have just as much right to live as me. one of many 'grateful dead' fans, another of my favourite bands are 'pink floyd', and im predicting once i get more 'Yes' and 'Allman Brothers Band' they'll be aswell. on some occasions i like certain electronic music (shpongle, tangerine dream). damn this is getting long, i forgot i would have to post this eventually haha. i want one of johnson's biscuit bouncers i dont mind if people add my on msn as i still dont really know many people on this site well. im addicted to tea w/honey and having china cat playing my foot just cracked at the moment i feel strange as if im about to have an OBE being spontanious is how to keep the magic feeling i think im done for now
