well this is my karma post

I've wanted to try mushrooms after reading a book about a hippie commune. They had shroom tea and the cat drank it!

 

Shroom tea reportedly tastes like crap.. best way I think would be to eat them on pizza
Shamanism/entheogens is something I'm quite into.. haven't got round to making any brews yet (although the ingredients for an ayahuasca brew are legal!) but it's a plan for the future.

 

Sounds good! I can make lemongrass tea... Supposed to make you think clearer. Tastes vile too!

 

Yeah, the entheogens - with the exception of shrooms - aren't really recreational at all. They're tools for introspection and growth, often have slightly unpleasant physical side-effects, and in general aren't made for tripping on at festivals!

 

Lol, I guessed that much! I am so excited about shambala it's unreal, sad since its 7 months off.

 

I know! First festival I've been excited enough about to actually bother going.. fuck Glastonbury nowadays, too commercial and full of posh twats playing at being eco-friendly from their 4x4s.
Gonna be great!

 

Certainly is! I'm looking forward to meeting Hipfirums folks too1

 

Yeah, some of the coolest people I know are right here.. hippies seem to be spread around these days.

 

All the hippies I actually talk to are on here. I must actually go and say hello to the hippies that live at the end of my road. Would you believe they've been here 5 years and I've never said a word to them?

 

Hippies near you? nice!
I live with some pretty cool people, not hippies but close. Into organics, wholefoods, ercycling, that kinda thing.

 

Yeah, they're awesome looking people, they both have dreads, they keep freerange chickens and grow their own veg, they have two children Called Yossi and Dali. I know this cos my sister spoke to them once. I may go and ask if they want a chicken sitter, they have a converted horsebox they holiday in!

 

I was a chicken-sitter once! I got free eggs out of it =D

 

Haha, chicken-sitting sounds nice.. if you like chickens, that is! personally they're not my favourite bird.
That prompts another question:
What's your favourite animal? Favourite plant?

 

Favourite animals are either sheep, goats or orangutans! I would like to keep a goat one day...
Favourite plant, hmm, either passion flower or clematis, yet you can't beat a daffodil!

 

yeah, goats are cute.. shame their milk tastes bloody awful. Although I suppose you could get to like it..
You were bloody quick off the mark adding me to MSN by the way.. I click "post" and three seconds later it pops up!

You said in another thread you were an ex-Christian - what turned you?

 

I dunno, I'd been having doubts for the past year, about how irrational it all seemed and how it just didn't answer any questions. I stopped going to church for a while and went back to go to midnight mass. I sat and thought 'I have no connection, no reason to be here'. So I lost my faith on Christmas day, and I feel great!

 

So this is the second biggest ever karma post and now it's quiet Anyone want to ask me a question? Ask me anything you like!

 

Hi again
Did you feel the earthquake?
What instruments do you play if any?
Do you get on with your parents?

this shambala festival sounds really cool, I'm interested! gotta go and find out if it's kid friendly though..
