      What's the worst thing you've ever witnessed happening (doesn't have to be necessarily personal, it could be just something you saw on a night out, whatever you want!)?

      What's the best thing you've learned from boards?

      What's the worst thing you've learned from boards?

      Lack of accountability, intolerance and lack of education on topics which really matter would be the top three.

      From how the new toyta hybrid engines work to of late homeopathy, freuds
      phyco-sexual theory is on my bed side locker as well as the complete guide to Asperger's syndrome.

      So tbh the human condition and all matters pertaining to it and how developments in tech influences it and how each evolved as a result.

      Christmas 1977, I was two and a half, I remember going down to see what santa had brought with my granddad, it was a trike and how the pedals hurt my feet as I didn't have slippers on. I have a loooong memory which can be pretty detailed.

      what's your earliest memory?

      have you always been as confident/self-assured as you are now or has that just come with maturity/whatever?

      what famous person (musician/writer/artist etc) has influenced your ideas/philosophies/self most? ok, so famous person is a crap phrasing of it, but im mind-melted today.

      how did you first become interested paganism?

      Do you have any regrets?

      If you could be the heroine in any novel who would you be and why?

      If you had to choose a lifetime of sex without love or love without sex which would you choose?


      Do you agree with society's view that monogamy is the only "acceptable" form of relationship?

      I have always been bolshy even as a kid, my Mam would tell how I sat stubbornly for over an hour in the back garden arms folded at age of 3 refusing to pick the toys and stayed there until it got dark and she had to take me as it was bed time.

      I've always done my own thing and ever took the easier path but with age
      came really not caring what 'people' thought rather then doing what I wanted and then being 'concerned' after wards.

      I like me and if I can live with me and I am happy in my own company then
      that has always been what has counted form the time I was about 10.
      Much to the despair of my parents and siblings over the years :p

      Gods there is no way I could pick just one,
      Never Jam Today by Carole Bolton was a book I got when I was 12,
      it's about the story of what happened to Alice Paul and the other suffragettes in their fight for votes for women, that had a profound effect.
      As did Emmaneulle and all the hard core scifi which read as a teen from Clark to Heinlein, Harry Harrison, Anne McCafftery, Piers Anthony, Marrion Zimmer Bradley and Ms Dickenson. There has never been just one influence.

      When I realised that the catholic faith I had been reared in didn't fill me up
      and I went exploring the root of judaic reglion and back to the tree of life and the Kabbalah and came cross the concept of Binah and that started me looking at the possible divine feminine, at Lilth and going older again looking at Sumerian goddess and Egyptian godesses and finally to those closer to home.

      A few but who doesn't but I would not be who I am to day or were I am to day if it wasn't for the sum of all my choices and actions.

      Sharrow from "Against a dark back ground" because she survives it all no matter what is pitted against her or who she looses.

      I don't think that there can be sex with out love and there are many types of love.

      I don't have any time for one true wayisms. Anything thing that limits my choices or the choices of others in life in order to be happy and be loved is not acceptable to me.

      Did you ever consider atheism?

      That's not intended to be smart or patronising btw, I just find it interesting how people arrive at positions of belief, especially non-mainstream ones.

      Nope, never doubted the existence of the christain god but I knew he wasn't the one for me so I went looking to see what other possibilities there were I guess I was a hard polytheist even before I left christainity and eventually got excommunicated.

      Thanks Thaed for some typically honest answers ... and I for one refuse to believe you were ever a bolshy kid! :D
