    Sad emo

    My niece calls me a 'dirty emo' because of my musical tastes (for the unknowing, emo=electromosher!) I call myself sad instead because a) that's how I was when I joined, b) emo's are renowned for their grim outlook on life, c) I didn't want you all thinking I was dirty!!

    Eeyore is quite like my personality - a pessimistic but well-meaning old soul and often lacking self-motivation! But there is the butterfly there too - symbolising my learning to appreciate the 'small things' in life even if the big picture seems tough to handle.

    "Blessed are the pessimists for they shall never be disappointed"

    I love Blondie's music, even when it wasn't cool for a JW to do so.

    What the? Blondie was the coolest anywhere but 'god knows™' what old fart JW's listened too.

    Blondie, Brian Ferry, Van Morrison... mmm ..the Clash, Elvis Costello, Midnight Oil, Nick Cave..

    A damselfly is a cousin of the dragonfly. The immature nymphs spend their lives under water, sometimes in a state of suspended animation ( sound familiar? ) until finally they reach the surface, shed their old selves and unveil their wings. They stand for transformation.

    fullofdoubtnow

    My name fullofdoubtnow is what I was when I first joined the Forum last October. I was still a jw then, but having serious doubts about it being the truth. Nowadays I am really not in any doubt, it isn't the truth

    As for my avatar, it's an album cover by a 60's UK band called Blind Faith, which is what I had during my time as a jw.

    My avatar is myself and my sweet husband having fun in Las Vegas at the Star Trek Experience. What a happy time we had.

    My user name is a soothing ointment made from the balsam tree. It heals and eases the pain where it hurts.
