so, er, this is introductions then?
i've been lurking on Barbelith since about last October, applied to join in about February, and got accepted last week. my name is a very, very bad theological pun, which i should probably change if and when i think of a better one...
i'm 24 but usually feel either much younger or (less frequently) much older, live in the UK, and am currently sort of dossing around post-uni (politics with international studies) and potentially pre-postgrad (potentially something to do with sociology of disability and/or work/labour/employment issues). whether that makes me "typical" of the Barbelith demographic, i dunno...
stuff i like: anarchism, comics, cooking, cryptozoology, dancing, disability theory, dub, eco-housing, Fortean Times, funk, gender theory, gnosticism, good green ganja, heresy, home made wine, Hindu deities, Frida Kahlo, Sarah Kane, Ursula Le Guin, H.P. Lovecraft, magic realism, Alan Moore, Toni Morrison, nature and wildlife, Lee Perry, Public Enemy, queer theory, roots reggae, sci-fi, squatted social centres, sustainable living, and a whole load of other shit i can't think of right now, probably including some things from T to Z...
i will probably be mostly posting (at least at first) in Books, Music, Switchboard, and maybe Head Shop if i dare...
(in passing, it's odd how the long time it takes to register on here affects feelings about Barbelith as a community - in fact i've actually developed something of an obsession with the place - i feel like i've gone thru all the stages from excitement at the possibility of finding somewhere on the internet that actually tied pretty much all of my strange and disparate interests together, to desperately wanting to post on dozens of threads, to bitter disillusionment at being (seemingly) forever an observer and never a member, to feigned disinterest and slightly wistful occasional checking while thinking "it wasn't to be", to "OMFG!!!1one!!"£$eleven! i actually got accepted!", to "hmmm... now i actually don't know what to post on on here"...)
so i dunno how soon i'll actually post much, i'm so used to lurking it may be hard to get into a habit of actually participating as well... but expect me to resurrect lots of threads from about 3-5 months ago...
(fuck that was long, compared to everybody else's  ) |
