Hi Irene ...
Ok ..... hmmm .. well ... now that I think about it, what do I say? : )
What I do for a living? I'm a Branch Manager at a bank. Nuff said there I
suppose. : )
Hobbies: (Gorillas!) primatology, (Gorillas!) paleoanthropology,
(Gorillas!) reading, gardening, fossil hunting (when I get a chance),
photography (just starting out) ....... monkeys of all shapes and sizes.
And, of course, a continued study of OBEs and other altered states of
consciousness.
Well ... I guess that's me.

Hobbies- I am interested in many different aspects of metaphysics, and the
visual arts (doing Art/Design course). I love drumming (kit and bongos) and
grooving to live, original music.....any form of creative expression.

Right. I come from Sweden, am 31 years old, and work as a computer
graphics artist.
My interests/hobbies are numerous. Besides going OBE I am also an
amateur astronomer, and a glacier enthusiast (Aren愒 they just gorgeous,
glaciers, with this incredible blue color - almost alive in a way!)
I am also interested in almost any other paranormal phenomenon, as well
as more main-stream science and technology. I hike a lot in the
mountains (in fact, I惴 going there in a few days.)
See you out there...

Isn't this interesting, of the friends that I have that OOBE or are
attempting to OOBE, we seem to have very similar interests. Case in point,
I use to do computer graphics and programming, I am an amateur astronomer,
love nature, interested in all forms of paranormal phenomena as well as
science and technology, I too enjoy hiking in the mountains, I am very
creative and curious. I would love to see are similar we all are on the NG
when it comes to our hobbies and interests.

paranormal, love for nature, and astronomy! I absolutely love the stars! I've
also had experience with computer programming. Wouldn't say I love it, but it
was enjoyable. I am interested in computer graphics, however. Very very
strange, wouldn't you say? What about the rest of you?
Beth
I would like to ad to my list just so you don't feel like the odd one
out,
I love books, reading them, someday I will publish either a book or my
poems or both. I was a book worm when I was a child. I like the X files,
swimming and my favorite activity is dancing. I also love gardening,
especially flower gardening, and do adore children especially my. In
addition something else I thought of I like astrology but I am not
heavily into it just enough as a hobby of sorts.
So, everyone let's here it (:

I also do computer programming, have earned quite a few bucks on
it too. Also interested in computer graphics... have some experience.
Astronomy isn't that exciting, but I know a little about it though.
Well, everything new in astronomy is cool. Especially nearby planets
with possible life....
Nature is okay, I have climbed A LOT (!) of mountains...
(I live in Norway you know...)
And paranormal is MY Biggest interest ever...
Science and technology is cool too, especially anything new within those
subjects...
And yes, I'm very creative and curious too, especially curious...
I wont rest until I know all the answers.... :)
My primal interest has always been computers...
But lately has it been the paranormal and the brain.

Off the subject, Beth and Julia ... but since we all enjoy gardening, maybe
you two could give me some good tips on shade gardening.
Just bought a new house with a huge tree that blocks out most of the sun.
Used to dance quite often when I was younger ... off in one recital or
another. So much fun, but I was never fantastically good.

Yes! though I find it quite a difficult medium to use, Im a messy pup
with them and I get covered in a multitude of colours a soon as I open
the box (smile)
I really like watercolours, oil pastels and lovely thick acylic.
In fact I am hoping to do my first exhibition at our local library.
Maybe I'll paint a gorrila.

Try a collection of Hostas, but surround them with sharp gravel to
keep slugs and snails off them. Camellias, Aquilegia and Canterbury
Bells, early flowering bulbs including snowdrops and primroses. Try
Hellebore, Solomon's seal, Bleeding Heart (or 'Lady-in-a-bath') and
Grape Hyacinths, Pulmonaria, Periwinkle (aka 'Vinca') also Bluebells
(do you get those in Florida?) and wood anemones (ditto - um, English
flowers have to thrive in shade...). Japanese Azaleas, Mahonia,
Floribunda Roses, Hydrangea Petiolaris (a climber, very pretty but a
slow starter.), 'Zephirine Drouhin' rose, Jasmines, Ivies especially
'Goldenheart', Holly, Cotoneaster, Clematis 'Alpina' 'Macropetala' and
'Nellymoser'. If you used all af these, you would have continuous
flower, berry or coloured foliage all year.
You could dig out and line the area with black polythene sheeting,
then fill it with compost and flood it and thus create a bog garden,
very magical. Unusual in Florida, I would guess.

I used to dance three nights a week, more if I could. My dancing is
English Folk Dancing and jive, plus some Renaissance and Playford
(1780s) dance - with a partner! My husband is a superb Morris dancer,
but sadly won't do any other dance. So for lack of a partner, I have
lapsed...
Sob! Sob!

Hmm, well I have found that Begonias and Impatiens do very well in
semi-shade. They do require at least a little sun though. Both of
these plants like a lot of water too. BTW, this is not off-topic
because gardening helps to relax and ground a person, which might be
helpful in preparing for OBE's. ;-)

I was almost an inpatient once. At the time, I didn't like the sun
either - and it lasted for months and months... How do you plant an

Wow! I'm copying this text to file Julia. I'm not sure of all the
varieties
you mentioned, but come springtime next year (which is usually very early in
Florida) I plan on transforming my rather plain landscape into a wonderland.
Thanks for the info ... and I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you for tips

Begonias hmmm? That's a name I know. Think I might try them. I have so
little light though. Right now I have several varieties of coleus (sp?)
that are doing very well, but no true flowering plants.
You're right. Gardening does wonders for the psyche. I love getting out
and working with my hands in the dirt. Don't get much time outdoors being
in the banking business. But gardening reminds me of the year I volunteered
at the primate sanctuary. Did all sorts of things most people don't believe
I could possibly do .... groundskeeping, chopping down trees, shoveling and
hammering, .... as well as taking care of the animals. The owners kept the
grounds immaculate, as well as the cages. Hard work, but so much more
fulfilling than selling someone on a loan. Handing a spider monkey a jelly
donut has to be one of the best experiences of my life. : )
Come to think of it, the year I spent at the sanctuary was the year I was
finally able to start having OBEs on a more regular basis.
So you're right Enigma ... OBEs aren't just about what we do when we lie
down to sleep at night.

Thanks Beth. I have two impatients, but unfortunately I don't think they're

I live in Victoria, Australia. I'm 31 years old and my work would bore
the lot of you. ;-) (It bores me to tears)
I studied applied computer science at tertiary school. I love fiddling
around with computer graphics. I love astronomy, I wanted to become an
astronomer but just didn't have the concentration at school to be
successful enough. It seems I am insatiable for any information on
anything new with science and technology. I might not follow or
understand it all, but I find it so fascinating. Have always been
interested in ESP, and just about anything else branded paranormal. Hey,
I've always dreamed about being able to fly, is that common also?
Physics and Maths absolutely fascinate me, I love working with numbers.
I just love Cats!! I have three little darlings. I love being outdoors
in moody locations, like forests, or deserted beaches. I love castles
and the history that surrounds them. Oh, I could go on and on. :-)
There is something else I've been meaning to post about for quite some
time now, and this seems to have made it seem very relevant. I have
this, what I would call, unnatural, fascination with Mandelbrots and
Fractals! I remeber sitting at the 'puter one night being mesmerized by
the patterns being produced by a fractal program I have! Needless to
say, I went to bed afterwards and had an OBE! Dunno if it was connected
but it seems to put me in the right frame of mind watching those
patterns!
Anyway, enough from me

My hobbies:
- Computers (in the beginning (15 years ago) mainly programming, also
a bit of hardware construction, today mainly system administration
(became my job) and Internet/Web/Usenet).
Computer graphics hit seriously with the Mandelbrot craze (I bought
3 times a bigger computer for that), today I work in the CAD group
of the architecture dept of an large University (ethz.ch).
- science, particularily astronomy (visit local observatory
sometimes), biology, medicine, psychology, parapsychology, sociology,
history
- anything old (specially places, buildings, costume, vehicles,
machinery), just starting with an medieval recreation group
- sport I do archery
- books (I have got ca 10 metres of them here in my bed room, plus
each 1 metre of National Geographic and computer magazines)
- creativity I started writing a book (draft is 1 MByte ASCII), but
then I discovered the Web and Usenet :-)
Oh and a photo? I will send one when I get around to making one (don't
hold your breath).
StoneLvr
Hobbies tons too many!! Anything that requires me to use my hands
quilting,knitting,crocheting,cross stiching, stained glass painting. drawing,
making stone necklaces I could go on and on!!
My interests : Parrots ( have Moluccan Cockatoo) Channeling,
Psychometry,Scrying,Astrology, Stones and Crystals, Runes,Tarot,Shaman Path and
pretty much anything in the Metaphysical LOL. I love nature. Love animals
big time! I love to read as well! Have tons and tons of books I'd rather buy
books than clothes. And of course helping my children to become the best they
can be. Wow where do I find the time for all this stuff?

wanted to learn more about astronomy, but I keep putting it off. I've
promised myself that I *will* have a telescope one day. I enjoy
computers, and will probably work for a degree in some sort of
computer work. People always come to me when they have computer
problems like they think I already know all the answers :-) When I
see someone struggling with their computer, I stand behind them with
my fingers itching to help (let me at 'em!). I never miss the
X-files; it's the one show I insist on seeing. I love to read. Right
now I'm fighting the urge to go finish the last pages of Dean Koontz
"Sole Survivor" (there was such a nice surprise towards the end, but I
won't tell what). I love music! I enjoy most any type of music, as
long as it has some substance to it. I also like to cross-stitch,
quilt, crochet. Can't get enough of puzzles (jigsaw, crossword,
logic, anything). And, of course, I have a big interest in most
paranormal phenomenons. I just know I'm forgetting something :-)
btw, this is not my 'official' listing of hobbies. I wouldn't want
all my ramblings added to that list :-)

Hi Jim here.
I am an early retiree from education, mainly
engineering and management which also included computers (as tools of
the students jobs).
Main current interests are, in addition to OBE, following the stock
markets, caravanning (trailer homes for our stateside cousins) seeing
castles (just done a tour of Scotland and Wales) electronic keyboard
and mainly folk music, sketching & painting (just started),
computing/internet, homebrewing, radio station and associated
electronics, flying gliders, planes and have had a go in a
helicopter (cawwww out of this world) and an autogyro, I have a radio
controlled helicopter but keep crashing it - expensive. I love
reading - I have a loft full of management and eng. Books. I will
read almost anything rather than nothing but personal development
seems to be the fore these days. My favourite TV is anything which is
investigative in science technology or about the paranormal, antique
shows and anything old ie old farming implements and what they were
used for (reared near a farm) vintage vehicles etc.
I do not know how I found the time to go to work? As it is there is
not enough time in the day and there is still lots I would love to
do. I can only squash in more if I can utilise the night hours and go
oob <grin>
Photo to follow mid week.

Sure, all you really need is a few brushes, a pallete (I use a bit of
flat wood) some turpentine or white spirit to clean the brushes with and
depending on how much paint you want to use, some linseed oil to dilute
the oil paints. You can if you want buy big tubes of the primary colours
(red,blue,yellow) and mix your own colours but this can be quite
wasteful so I recommend a selection. I usually paint on canvas sheets
stretched around a wooden frame, but you can paint on wood, walls(hehe),
thick card just about anything that'll hold the paint. Also leave a
window or something open as I find the fumes give me a headache or just
paint in the wonderful outdoors. I think thats about all you should
need.
Be bold, paint big, leave it and come back to your painting later but
most of all have fun with it.Good luck!
Happy to help.
Tim.

<<Tim's very good suggestions snipped>>
Once you've got all the stuff together, I recommend that you use a
large brush and paint the surface white then do the overall background
first and gradually move to what will be in the forefront of the
painting.
Watch some of those morning TV shows about painting with oils and
acrylics. Usually they are on the local educational channels. I know
there are some in the Tampa area because I've watched a few when I
lived there. You would be surprised at what you can do if you follow
some of the directions of the TV artist. A beautiful painting can be
done in just an hour or two. Scenery is actually quite easy if you
know the techniques and have a steady hand. It's almost like majic as
the painting comes to life with just a few strokes and dabs.

I've seen the programs Bart, and I was amazed. My new house has cathedral
ceilings, and I'd love to adorn the walls with pictures. Mine might be a
little strange ... but I guess that's the point. ; )

Are there many castles in Australia? You should try and arrange a
holiday (or a really long OOBE!) in my home land of Herefordshire UK.
We have so many castles that you could visit 40 in a day and still not
see them all. Some are in forests, others on wild hills, lush pasture,
ancient villages, beside perfect Norman Churches (c1080). Castles
perched on sandstone outcrops over rivers, big castles you could move
into and live in, inhabited castles, old castles (1060 onwards) and
luxurious 'new' castles (1820s), castles so small you wonder why they
bothered to build them, and castles so huge and rambling that they are
like a small town themselves. Very few or no visitors to most of them.
Wonderful, magical castles, and too many to choose between....

I was also thinking of doing that (actually emailed with the

person thing). The nearest bigger group is 300 miles away :-(.

Because they do full contact. The group I am into only does simulated
fight, but that with metal, not rattan. Sound is more realistic (they
actually do museum shows).

Just a small word of advice. Do NOT get a monkey. Better yet, offer to
volunteer for a few hours a week at a place that houses them, if you can.
In this setting, you can see just how wonderful they are without putting
yourself or the animal in a possibly harmful situation.

one fight to a battle. I have a group of friends that I fight with from
time to time. We usually fight semi-full contact wit rattan weapons.
By semi-full I mean that we don't simulate, but we don't take hard
swings, and it is generally understood that head shots are not allowed.

Where people are from would be an idea too. I don't mean the street
address. Florida, London, Madrid etc. would do.

Please do ! Herefordshire is amazing. As well as castles, it has
fewer people per acre than any other English county, and the most
trees per acre! The trees include forty or so English Yew trees which
have been dated to between 1000 AD and 4000 BC - usually in the centre
of the churchyard which was late built around them. Wondrous living
presences. Also it has the highest number of listed (ancient)
buildings of any county, not just castles but fascinating churches,
rambling manor houses, neat little stately homes in well-treed parks
where the same family have lived for 1000 years, entire villages of
black-and-white (oak framed construction) cottages set on the banks of
limpid salmon-jumping streams, ancient working farms still with
cidermills, oh, everything you could wish for in paradise (except a
beach!). I'll move back there one day...

Yes, Maryland is the name of a state in the US. A very nice state, I
might add. At one time I lived in Severna Park. I learned to sail in
the Severn River.

There are not many castles in Australia at all! :-( Of the ones I know
of, they were built exclusively for tourists. There is one in a town
called Ballarat (1 hr from Melbourne) which is actually a replica of a
castle somewhere over there. :-) It's called Kryal Castle. Ring a bell
at all?
Oh I dream of spending some time over there Julia. For some reason I
feel a strong pull towards Scotland and Ireland. But I love anything
British. (specially all the old british comedy shows, Dick Emery, On the
Buses all that sort of stuff) Oh, you make my eyes water with your
descriptions Julia. :-P Hmmm, I wonder if you'd trust us old convicts
coming back to visit for a while. :-)
All the best

JHM: Aaaagh, horrible stuff. Do you get Fawlty Towers, Men behaving
badly, Red Dwarf, One foot in the grave, Drop the Dead Donkey? All
excellent.
Craig replied:
Yes, we get all those programs as well, and some! :-) They are a lot
newer aren't they. Well, not that much. :-) I just can't say enough
good stuff about the English programs. Really, I was raised on them.
:-) I've always liked English comedy over American, although, there
are a lot of funny American show too.
Craig: Oh, you make my eyes water with your

>coming back to visit for a while. :-)
JHM: Ha ha, only if you don't break the law! I should work for the
Tourist Board! Actually, a friend of mine was in charge of Tourism in
Herefordshire, and I asked him why it was all so low-key. He replied
"It's a policy decision. We don't want tourists to come to
Herefordshire, they would spoil the atmosphere. So we publicise York,
Stratford-on-Avon and London instead."
So there you are - now you possess secret information!
Craig replied: Oh, what a lovely idea! :-) Sometimes the tourism takes
over so much it spoils a region doesn't it. :-( So nice to be able to
goto places that are laid back and easy, not having to worry about
being able to see stuff for the amount of people there. Where I live,
The Grampian Mountain region in Victoria, is just promoted to excess.
It's a pity, it is so beautiful.

Hi everyone
here is some info of my interests. Seems to be rather similar to
what others have posted here already.
I am 32 years old, come from Stockholm in Sweden, works with
electronics.
I am interested in astronomy, physics, history, computers (spends
to much time in front of my computer).
Reads a lot of books, mostly SF.
I have always been interested in the paranormal but haven't until
recently taken the time to really learn something about it. Now I
spend a lot of my free time to read about OBE/lucid dreams and
other paranormal stuff. I still have a lot of problems to leave my
body, I haven't been able to go OOB again for several weeks now.
I have always wanted to travel to the stars, now I might have
the chance, just have to be better at OBE. Then I can travel
anywhere.
Regards,
Mikael
