You should do it!! Then I can put a face to you.

I can be nice when I want to be. I can also be pretty snarky. You should post your pic over in the Post your Pic thread. I have to check and see if I updated mine recently.

You are also modest. Are you kidding me! You are so interesting! You are probably beautiful too! I bet you would deny it though. ^_^

Double nice! Greek and Norwegian? That is an interesting combo. As well as a little hebrew? I need to here the story of how this came to be!
ps. Thus far you are one of the most interesting people I have ever talked to.

Nice! Is it a secret? What languages do you know?

Was it from playing epicly?
Do you speak any other languages?

I love German! I have to work hard at it though. How is your fiddlin goin?

Hehe, yeah, I would totally enjoy doing that! I'd love to go to Tibet if I could, too. I'd love to pick up some Tibetan phrases. It just seems so... so... difficult.

That's amazing

So if you weren't expecting to go there, how did you end up? Did you take a last-minute vacation? That's something I'd love to do: I'd love to turn up to the airport and take the next flight with seats going (international).

Ohh yeah, they are beautiful.

Some of them can look so similar to yantras, lol. Have you ever been to an Onam celebration, then? I haven't, but I'd like to know what they are like. I don't know much about South Indian culture, sadly.

Nice avatar, what is it? I thought it was a yantra.

Sounds like a fun day! I like to swim, but chlorine really irritates my eyes. If I get a little bit of pool water in my eyes they start to burn and water quite a bit. It isn't normal!

My yoga class today was awesome!! This week hasn't been so bad so far. I have a self defense class tomorrow, yoga on Thursday, and Tai Chi on Friday. I am pumped!!

Polo looks hard. I hope you have time for that yoga class! You are definitely not old, haha! If I go to grad school I will still be in school when I am your age. UGH!

You should definitely read up on Sikhism. Poor path is so rarely researched, but it is a gem. I suggest going to http://www.srigranth.org to read the holy book. It is a far easier and more beautiful read than Abrahamic books, IMO.

Hinduism, I suggest going to mandir if possible. It may all come back to you again, and you will end up in love with it. With Buddhism, I suggest being careful of who you read: too many Westerners add their own nihilistic spin on Buddhism. I say that as one who has practised and researched Buddhism since 14. It is a beautiful religion, but prone to strange interpretations from Westerners.

I felt exactly the same as you. I thought to myself. "This would be nice, if I could believe in it--but I don't. This doesn't work for me." Sorry about your animal! I'm actually the opposite - I don't really shed tears easily. I think the last time I shed a tear though, was in happiness, at my second born's birth, and before that, my first born's birth.


Glad to hear you're looking into the Dharmic religions. Hinduism is definitely work looking into, as is Buddhism. Sikhism is one that is often overlooked, but it's a nice path if one can get over being hung up on the Khalsa--the main problem for non-Sikhs when looking at Sikhism, it seems.

Sounds like a regular-irregular plan to me

I currently don't have net, so I've been the same. I'm okay thanks. We buried her not too long ago. It was an emotional service for everyone, but I didn't cry or anything like that.

I did feel out of place though, lol. I didn't realize how un-Christian I was.

How are your religion-y thingy thoughts going? Did you decide on anything?

Awwwwwwwwwww...Oh well. My yoga class is at 9am. That is early for me. I hope your Tai Chi class is fun! You will have to tell me about it! I think I asked you this before, but are you in college? What is temple? Is your family Jewish? The last of my long line of questions: you play polo? Tell me about it!

This may seem kind of weird since we barely know each other, but you seem like a really friendly person. If you have a Facebook account would you like to be friends? If so here is my link
