I discovered this forum a long time ago, but didn't sign up until recently. I'm basically looking for people I can relate to. I have a full-time job, but it's just a paycheck for me. I live with about 30 or so roommates -- two people, two cats, and two aquariums full of tropical fish. (Yes, pets are family to me.) I can build computers and write web sites. I dabble in photography, but I don't seem to get (or make) enough time for that. I like to go barefoot, and I've pushed the social limits with that just a little bit. (For a while, I was called the "hippie" by some of my neighbors.) I have a lot of questions about life, and I want to know what the truth is about things. I tend to distrust mainstream thinking and have been trying to pay attention to and trust my own feelings. I also think there's more intuitive knowledge of life outside the scope of humanity. Human kind has lost touch with its place in life, and so has forgotten a lot of what life means. I just want to find my place again and be happy.
Welcome to the forums, MisterEm! I totally get your pets, pets are like family to me too Have fun posting!
