My karma ran over your dogma

Do you cook for yourself? Or maybe a better question - what do you eat? Is it all freshly cooked or ready meals etc. ? Whats your fave food?

(i just made the best dinner!! ahhh ive had the best lunch ever, best dinner now i need the best breakfast!! )

 

Yep I cook for myself.. it's mostly pasta. i never eat ready meals unless I can't avoid it.
Favourite food is pizza but proper pizza not that ready-made shite.

 

lol...

Whats your fave TV programme?

 

Probably a draw between The Simpsons and Heroes... Babylon 5 is fucking awesome as well.

 

OK, my turn to ask questions Erm, what's the best moment at uni so far? And what's your relationship with your parents like?

 

Best moment so far? Probably a draw between all the nights in the student bar
And my relationship with my parents is good - not especially close, but not cold either.

 

Ok, lets wake this one up a bit.
Did you know the creator of the original St. Trinians cartoons went to ARU and based some of them on his time there?
Are you coming to Shambala?
What are your feelings on the New Age?

 

1. No, I didn't (what's St trinians?). I DID know Pink Floyd met there though and I met a bloke in the Art Department who actually taught them (I was wearing a Floyd shirt as I was passing through and we had a bit of a chat).
2. Yes, most definitely.
3. Depends what you mean by new age.. if you mean the supposed "age of aquarius" that many people think is gonna come in 2012 then my attitude is "I'll believe it when I see it".
New Agers in general I dislike.. most of them seem to turn their common sense off permanently and don't realise their claptrap about angels and such is rebranded christian shite.

 

my attitude is "I'll believe it when I see it".

Glad to see you have the same attitude as me!

 

That's one of the problems with being an alternative health practitioner - people tend to assume you subscribe to every fruitcake theory doing the rounds. I only accept the validity of what I've seen and experienced that works. Energy healing, yeah, I can DO that so it doesn't require any huge leap of faith. But the pseudo-religion that surrounds reiki, uh-uh, can't be having with that.
Past life regression on the other hand, I don't really buy. Since I don't believe in past lives (karma is a completely different story - what I'm talking about might be termed "soul migration"), the idea that specific incidents in a past life can affect us now in the same manner they originally did (i.e a guy with neck pain having been hanged in a former life - that's an actual diagnosis done by a practitioner I know) is, frankly, a load of bollocks. Past injuries in THIS lifetime are another thing entirely, and I do quite a bit of work with them

So yeah, I have very little time for airy-fairy, flakey idiots, and even less for people who try and put ME in that category!

 

Don't worry, I wasn't putting you in that category! I had a bit of a crisis this year and nearly went and did a course at college in holistic therapy. But I realised taht my strengths were in geography, so that shall be it.

 

Hey, no reason not to do both! With holistic therapy (well, apart from maybe chiropracty or osteopathy) grades and "formal" schooling matters very little. When I applied for my course I didn't even get asked about my qualifications. They came up in conversation later, but there wasn't any formal requirement other than a willingness to learn.

I DID find my biology/biochemistry knowledge useful, but there's people on my course that haven't done a day of biology since GCSE and they do fine.
Which therapy were you going to do?

 

Probably reflexology or aromatherapy, I hadn't really decided. Kinesiology sounds awesome though!

 

It is! You can incorporate it into almost any therapy.. there's kinesiologist-homeopaths, kinesiologist-hypnotherapists, even a kinesiologist doctor! (he teaches at the Classical Kinesiology Institute where I'm studying, very cool guy).
It's like.. well, to use an analogy, if the body is a computer, kinesiology is a monitor and the therapies are a keyboard. We assess the treatments the body needs (various ways of doing that) and the body tells us which one it prefers.

We say "the body never lies, you just need to ask the right question". Well, I say that, since I just made it up

 

You are so awesome at quotes, you need to write that down somewhere!

 

Thanks
I do come up with some good'uns.. some profound(ish) some funny. My fave funny one is "sobriety is the unfortunate period when you run out of money or the bars are closed"

 

Haha, that's funny, as my good friend Jasmeet would say. She laughs then TELLS you she finds something funny. Anyhoo, questions...
If you had lived in another time, when would it have been?

 

And where? Where is important too
It'd have to be Britain, five or six thousand years ago - around the time Stonehenge was built. The pre-celtic britons (and the Celts too, come to that) had an innate understanding of nature - to them there was no separation between people, animals, forests, rivers etc. All one piece.

 

Wow, that's amazing. You're spouting some really good stuff tonight! I'm struggling with soduko on my sister's brain training!

 

Ah, it's probably the glass of sloe gin (homemade, of course).. in vino veritas, as the saying goes
