the traditional "hi, I'm new" thread

Hi, I'm new. Someone linked to a post about dread wax on here, and I became entranced by the place. Had to join Can't believe I didn't find it before actually...

So I'm into music, I play bongo drums, did a couple months of steel drums, play alto saxophone and I'm learning guitar (I can't believe I waited this long to learn).
I like reading... anything really. Anything that is imaginative or expresses interesting opinions. So Chuck Palahniuk to JK Rowling to Hunter S. Thompson.
I'm vegan, I have been since this August. I was vegetarian for two years when I was 8 to 10 (because I wanted to be like Pheobe off of friends). I had no beliefs behind it, so when I got a chicken craving I gave it up. I went vegan again this summer after reading an essay called "Veganism in a Nutshell" off of PETA2.com.
I'm all for AR, and I'm also an environmentalist and pacifist.
I'm getting dreads sometime before the holday break is over.
My favourite animals are frogs.
My favourite band is Incubus, and if you ask I'll tell you about my pathetic 'encounter' with Brandon Boyd (which, btw, completely made my life... I can die now).
I support the Green Party of Canada, and plan on going into politics or activism. I am still in highschool, but I plan on going to the University of Ottawa.
I'm President of the Arts Council at my school, for the second year in a row.
I go to a Catholic High School but I hate Catholocism. And yes, we wear uniforms and no, I wont model them for you.

Thats my life story, enjoy.

 

You sound like a very interesting person. Welcome

 

hey frogger18,
welcome to the forums. From reading the post, you sound very similar to myself. I also go to a Catholic school, and dont believe in Catholicism, i play the bongos (or try) and also the didgeridoo. I am getting dreads in 6 days, yay. I love to read, when im reading a good book, its addictive i will read for hours. Yes i also love music, its oxygen to our ears. Hehehe we have heaps in common, send me a PM, if you want to discuss something or other, well hope to hear from you. Conor.
