I'm back!

[SubtleKnife]

Hi there, I guess most of you won't remember me, but I used to track bills (and post here a lot) several years ago. I even attended the very first EBT meeting in Brussels. After a while I found myself getting too compulsive about it all, so I gave it up. However a comment by someone in the blogosphere piqued my curiosity once more - and here I am!

I've since bought an apartment, joined a - very liberal - church (I'm still an atheist and they don't care), had several different jobs (I've left football and journalism behind me) and made a few good friends along the way. I'm still fat but I lost 20 kilos and I've just started working out regularly again, so more will follow. I fixed my hair, my wardrobe should be next but I'm waiting to go down a few more sizes, and I'm a lot more confident in general, nog just online.

Still a know-it-all.

Welcome back .

(Allthough you left before I became a member myself).

But your previous name still exists.

Are you using the same account again?

Are you using the same account again?

It doesn't seem so:

Hi, nice to see you around again. I still remember you from the first EBTM

Hi, darling, that was SO much fun, wasn't it? It was a shame I didn't stay in town, that would've left me more time to party (and an opportunity to have a couple of drinks because I wasn't driving.) The Atomium is still one of my most surreal experiences.

I'll send you a message about merging my old account with the new one.

Welllllcome back, comrade!

Might I inquire you, what precisely was the point of joining the church? Of course you may refrain from answering, because this is about people's own stuff

[SubtleKnife]

Ooh! another familiar face (literally, have you had that avatar all this time?) How good to see you're still around.

And you may certainly ask. I know I never thought I would do such a thing. But last year I officially joined the Dutch Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, which is a very, very liberal religion. I've always been interested in religion, in the institutions, hiërachies, dogmas, in how faith works, why people believe, although (or because?) I've never believed in anything myself. And UU (not to be confused with Unseen University, although the people can be just as strange) gives me a community of people who are interested in the same things. Or sometimes they're not, but they all agree that we're allowed to believe what we have to believe and there is no One True Faith. Which in turn makes for a very diverse, but very warm and welcoming community.

I first went with a friend after Kurt Vonnegut died. Both Vonnegut and my friend were not active, but certainly familiar with UU. Now my friend is the President of the Netherlands Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and I'm head of the Worship Committee...

Or to Bologna: the first "Winter-meeting" (last weekend of March)??

[SubtleKnife]

I don't think I can make Bologna, but Vienna might work. I'll think about it.

[Annie_in_exile]

HI!
I had totally missed this topic, but just by chance I mentioned your name in Bologna, and then someone said "hmm, wasn't she the one who came back recently.." Good to see you here on the forum, and hope to see you in Vienn after all these years!

[SubtleKnife]

but just by chance I mentioned your name in Bologna

nothing bad, I hope?

Vienna is not looking good for now... But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
