Hello.

I'm new here (obviously) and wanted to try to get some attention. This is very much unlike me, in fact, I'm a hermit at age 25. I have lived in this town for a total of 5 1/2 years and I haven't met anyone that I can feel close to, and as a result, I think my sanity is slipping a bit, so I'm trying to keep in contact with society a little by joining this forum.

A little about me, for anyone who cares:

I live in the Midwest (USA), but don't especially enjoy it. I have been a pagan for about 3 years, but I am not a Wiccan. I enjoy adding aspects of many religions to my spiritual practice. I maintain an altar, and work some magic and deal with deities from many different faiths. I study the tarot (and have made a nice dent in creating my own deck!) and herbalism, crystals, stones, trees, plants...etc, and I am very interested in spirit guides and trying to define the Universe as a whole.

I live with my boyfriend of 9 years, who is a beginning Shaman, and our ever-growing collection of rare and exotic houseplant friends. I don't handle authority well, and as a result, I get to be a stay-at-home artist who gets lots of time to develop her supposed talents.

I am a writer and a visual artist and a musician and a poor speller and a vegan. I'd enjoy meeting other vegans, but don't worry... I don't preach to anyone unless they started it!!! I like to think of myself as open-minded to any and all lifestyle choices, so I hope to make some new friends on here!

I really enjoy industrial-goth-techno-rock music, and am drawn to the somewhat darker things in life (vampires, for example) but I do have some hope left in me and try to maintain a healthy, "live in light" approach to everything.

Well, I do hope to make some friends here. I've tried a few other forums, and I just didn't seem to fit in (story of my life!). I have a really good feeling about this place. So, that's all for now.

Thanks!

Sanity slipping a bit, hmmmm? Not to worry, we can get rid of the rest of it for you and you will fit right in! hehe

Welcome, as I have found in my short time here, MW is NOT like any of the rest of the forums - at least the others that I had found before this.

Welcome I'm pretty new here too and so far I love this forum. I'm not a big forum person either. I'm not vegan but I don't eat red meat or poultry, it's way to hard in my area to be vegan. I also like a little bit of the darker side of life but I like the lighter side too. You sound pretty cool.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I am 22 and have been back in WV for 5 years now and I don't know anyone. Like you I too am a hermit as much as I try to change it, it is very hard to do. But I am glad that you found the group and if ever you get bored and just wantt o talk to someone just look me up I am almost always online.

:flowers: Welcome!

I'm kind of a hermit too. Some days I don't go outside at all. Not even on the porch. I don't really have any friends and I don't go out.

I will be 20 years old in 4 days!!!!

I don't come here to often but hope to see you around. :)

Wellmet! I'm a newbie hermit as well but I'm <cough> 40. Highest point a couple of months ago was that I actually got *carded* at a local liquor store.
