Name: Simon
Alias: Neuron, Faulty Neuron, Game Cat, Angry Badger, a few others but mostly Neuron or Faulty Neuron
Age: 23 at time of posting
Location: Cheltenham, UK
Favorite Toys: poi and staff, cause they're the only ones i can even vaguely pretend to spin with without hurting myself utterly
Occupation: None/Retail (same thing) or Tax Dodging Student
Hobbies: apart from the very obvious, music, movies, reading, theatre, spending money, video gaming and just about anything computer based
Music : Eclectic.
Movies : LOADS. I like far too many movies. Current favourites include the matrix trilogy, blade runner and the aliens saga (constant favourites), fight club, ah hell, nah, i can't list 'em all. Too many.
Books: Currently reading "Masters of Doom" which is excellent but I like a lot of books. Of fairly varied style. Though sci-fi is a big favourite. Cyberpunk is a constant highlight.
Favorite Color: ... not sure i really have one.
My website: www.neuronfailure.com though it's down at the time of writing for re-development.
Yeah it's a boring intro, perhaps you'll get to know more as things progress (unless you haven't discovered way too much already from me posting in your intro threads:))

Cards. I don't know who here believes in tarot but I just got a reading from a friend.
Three card spread, past card, present card, future card. I've always been fascinated by tarot and I like these results.
Past card: The Maiden (reversed)
In the maiden reversed we find her virtues flawed (joy, life, happiness, hope, growth and new beginnings - all turned on their heads) When her energy is blocked we dont allow ourselves to hope, dream, or to even plan a future. We look for everything that is dull and mundane. We live a sterile and joyless life.
Present card: Lys of the shadows
She is here to help people gain true self confidence and self respect and self esteem but she has to start further down. She tries to inspire practicle help for those who need it most.She is the inspiration in the first wobbly steps taken by a damaged soul towards healing. Her presence indicates that something painful can now be healed fully. someone is ready to begin, with help, to climb out of the inner mire. There is much hope and a need for loving kindness tempered by practicality. Lys will always give supprt to those who ask for it, encouraging that person to be receptive and others to be helpful. She always has time to help those who have time to help others
Future card: Spirit Dancer
Self expression - freedom - exploration!
Now is the time to focus and really concentrate on a project or process, specially if involves your inner creativity. Spontaniety balanced with self discipline will help you achieve all of your goals. Strive for elegance and simplicity. This is a time to bring out and share the qualities that you have nurtured in private!

what deck was your friend using? cause those aren't traditional cards of a deck, unless they were renamed.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Well observed, m'lady. It was her choice of deck and she chose a deck entitled "Fairy Oracles"

I experienced a random act of kindness today. Stranger gave me his not-used parking ticket as he was leaving the car park and i was coming in. I love random acts of kindness.

Small world. A guy is in the office to test Fable today as work experience and he just happens to be from my home town. Bizarreness.

I agree entirely. That's why when I left, I handed it on to a third owner.

Hey Simon! Nice to see another computer fan/gamer on HOP! I really like your website - the thing about Peter Molyneux was funny - hadn't heard about that.
Anyway, thought I'd say hi! P.S. You ever seen the website thinkgeek.com? They have lots of cool (ahem...) computer-type stuff, including a great Wargames T-shirt - yes, sad, I know, but I'm a big fan of that film.

02/03/04? Apparently that's when I last updated. Wow it's been a while, huh?
Well if there's anyone left who remembers/cares then here's the update for the last... few... months. Yes, months, not years.
It's been good, I'm rapidly approaching my 26th birthday and my 18 month semi-anniversary with my beloved which rather nicely occur within two days of each other next month.
I've also, after a couple of years still bouncing around between unsatisfying and maddening IT jobs re-evaluated my life and I go back to college in september to embark on my new career choice of professional photography. Momentus decision. Terrifying yet liberating.
I'm still firmly entrenched in the Cheltenham area and despite knowing a rather wonderful crowd of fire spinners the one thing we tend not to do as a group is spin. I really need to change that at some point this year. Still I've energised a couple of them by telling them I need photographic subjects.
It's funny how I always think about HoP around this time of year, for all sorts of reasons but mostly thanks to the parties at a certain member's house in Sevenoaks all that time ago which I still remember pretty vividly (and fondly I have to say).
So many shoes.
So who's still around?
