Well, since it is expected when newly joining any forum, I suppose I will post an intro.
First, the basics:
I am 20 years old as I type this, 21 in a couple weeks. I'm a C.O. in a state penitentiary. I'm also a bit of a computer geek, and I'm just getting a business going in that field. I've completed 3 semesters of college (English Major), but I sort of decided I was wasting time and money, since I had no real idea why I was there or what I actually intended to do with myself in the next 40 years, so I got a *gasp* real job and have since been saving money and looking for something that interests me.
How I got here:
I accidentally stumbled onto this site while searching Google for something mostly unrelated but still having to do with spirituality, and on the first page of results was a member profile for this forum that sort of caught my eye, so I decided to look into it further.
Religious notes:
Now, as for my religion...well, that's sort of an amalgam things I've picked up here and there from a broad variety of sources. I've spent a good deal of the last 5(+?) years digging around the internet, the library, etc., researching all kinds of things to do with religion and spirituality, and I take bits and pieces from all sources, but when it's all said and done, it all seems to still fit within Christianity fairly well, and since I was raised Christian I continue to claim it as my religion. I would not say I am 'active', however.
Final notes:
I think I'll play it like I usually do: Hang back and mostly read, but jump in if something sparks my interest. I'm notoriously bad about staying active in forums, and I tend to prefer smaller communities (IRL and on the net), but I'll try and at least put a small dent in the server's HDD.
I do, however, use IRC quite regularly, so look for me on your server...I'll be under this same nick on there.
