Merry Meet...
I joined this evening, and after randomly reading here and there in the community, I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm AstraSkye (my real name is a mess, hehe), I'll be 19 on Tuesday, and I live in northern Europe (Sweden, to be exact). I currently attend adult education to get my high school diploma (I hated high school!). It's a Catholic, though open-minded school (most students are Muslims, some are openly Agnostic/Atheist, few are actual Catholics), yet I doubt I could ever share some of my "interests".
I currently define myself as "Agnostic". I have studied Pagan paths for about four years now, but never taken the final step. Studies were quite sporadic during the first few years, but got more intense about a year ago when I realized my mom is no longer looking over my shoulder (I moved out at age 16, and it took me about a year to get used to not having my mom around all the time, having problems with everything I do).
So, I live in a commune together with my boyfriend of three years, our cat who plays fetch and talks, and 11-something other people (I always lose count, because I don't keep track of the people living outside of "our" six-room apartment). The boyfriend - aged 26 - is unemployed, and doesn't share my interest in Pagan paths.
My interests consist of webdesign and graphic design, reading and collecting books, religion, computers, video games, history (mainly World War II), science (space-related), cars and driving (I got my license on Nov. 11th 2002 (18 is the legal driving age in Sweden), but I don't have a car), movies, music, and various creative things.
Paganism (as in Wicca) isn't very big where I live. There's a bookstore downtown, but that's pretty much it - that I know of - and then I live in the third biggest city. Most Pagans are quiet, and I don't know of any covens around here. So, my only way to communicate is over the internet. It's a pain. :-o
What more is there to tell? I lead a clean life. I'm a vegetarian - I drink milk and eat cheese, but I don't eat meat, chicken, or fish, under any circumstances. I also don't eat eggs, unless they're baked into something I "have" to eat. I don't drink alcohol, do drugs, or use tobacco products.
Oh well, that's me... :)
