Hi all

I haven't been on here for ages. I used to post as Rob - ID Crisis Indie Kid, then Ophthalmos, then just Oppy (this was before you were disallowed from changing name) and now I'm Orb.

I haven't really got a clue where I am spiritually. I want to explore it at the moment. I'll be trying to, mostly in Purgatory I think (as in my previous time here).

Do any of you remember me? I remember you [Smile]

Anyway, maybe see some of you at Greenbelt!

I couldn't walk anywhere at night for about a year without crapping myself, but now I'm fine and enjoying my freedom [Smile]

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Welcome back, Orb! Are you still in Brizzle? IMHO, there's no better place to find your spiritual flavour, there's some of everything going down.

Yep!

A few things interesting going on that I know of:
> Foundation - still my spiritual home, although mainly for the people, I'm a bit out of love with alt. worship
> Treasure Stokes Croft - charity shop run by Love Bristol crew who put on open mic nights and such
> Cactus - a spirituality-focussed growing day that one of my friends is involved in

Maybe see you at Greenbelt...he said threateningly! [Biased]

I remember you - you're still the only person who's ever called me (and admittedly half the shipmates at Greenbelt 2003 at the same time) to Hell! I have such fond memories of that summer on the Ship, and that Hell thread was the icing on the cake.

Hope the intervening years have improved your musical tastes [Devil]
