So, I'm not really new per say, as I've been to the forums before, but I've only posted a few times, and haven't been on in months. I guess since this is the introduction forum, I should introduce myself. So, here goes. I'm a 15 (well, in a month) year old Vegan Punk Pacifist kid from California. I believe in Peace, Love, and Unity. I'm currently deliberating between two base paths for my life in the near future. The first would lead to me most likely staying in California, setting up a commune up north, possibly around Davis (for various reasons). This would, in some respects, be the easy way out. I doubt if I would go through any sort of college or university after High School, since I wouldn't need it. In another way, it would be more difficult in that I would be subsistence living. The second would lead to me going through some University (preferably Berkeley, or Edinburgh), and getting involved in Scottish politics, particularly the Scottish National Party (SNP), in hopes of attaining independence for her (Scotland). Chancellor would be a nice position. Not for the power, but because Scotland is a liberal nation, and is getting ever closer to independance. Plus, it's the home of most of my ancestors, and I like it. This, in other ways, would be an easy way out. I would be conforming to society, at least more so, and not living as pure a life. However, if I played some part in helping Scotland to achieve her independance, I would be helping some 5 million Scots. Anyway, yea. I use AIM, and my screen name is the same as is my HipForum name. IM me if you care to talk about anything.
hey man and welcome, wow wat decisions you have to make in life. However youre not alone, we all have to make decisons some big some unseemingly insignificant.

However enjoy youre time here, i hope you learn lots from the insightful and beautiful people around here, hope to speak soon, Conor.
