Hello everyone!

[Ayla]

Hello,
I'm not very good at this introducing stuff, I can't remember what I said the last time I approached a new community, I'm pretty much an old fogey now in most of mine! lol
Um, well, I suppose I'd best tell y'all something about myself... I'm an English Witch, living in Reading in Berkshire, I work as a computer programmer <ick!> during the day but write books, practice herbalism, play in a band and run my own website when I escape at the end of the day & on weekends. I've been practicing the Craft for about 10 years now, although I guess the last 4 years have been the most intense. I suppose you could say I'm Wiccan in a way, but I think I'm far too eclectic for that, and I do like to work on my own. I call myself a CaveWitch, because that's what I really am, I'd feel perfectly comfortable in a nice wee cave in some forest somewhere :) Not really cut out to be one of the townsfolk: all my aims involve getting as far away from concrete, tarmac and CrapDonalds as possible! LOL

Well, um, that's all I can think of for now, anyone want to ask me anything then go ahead. It's pretty nerve wracking entering a new community - like walking into your first day at a new job late and everyone just looks at you!

Love & Hugs,
Ayla

Hi Kaylara, How many people usually come in here? What's the busiest time of day?

Mol, What type of programming do you do at work? I work with VB, asp, xml, javascript etc writing for a .com company's website, lots of COM objects and some UI work. What instruments do you play? I play bass guitar in the band, but also play violin and piano.

Love & Hugs,

I think the busiest time of day is ? I have no idea... I am on all day during work. People kinda filter in and out during the day.

I am a classical musician, and can play any brass instruments, most percussion instruments, clarinet, a little saxophone, a little flute, and a little piano/synthesizer. (I play those by ear.)
I am a total band geek (minus the geek part) and was in school bands for 9 years, took chorus for 4, music theory for 1, and marching band for 3. Most of these classes were taken at the same time as others, so that my senior year of high school I had 2 band classes, music theory, and then would get out of regular classes to go practice music, and would have after school practice for marching band.

And of course I got a job that is not related what-so-ever to my main courses of study in school. (LOL)

Blessed Be!
Kaylara

Ps: What are your main instruments? (or favorite to play)
