*skanks on in*

hi! to HoP!

So tell us more about yourself, we're nosey. There's a template at the top of the main intro's forum if your stuck for what to say

Good to see more ska fans though, i get bored with all the electronica that goes on around here. There's a few punk/altern fans in here too, which i'm all for, but ska's so much easier to dance to!

Hello Sandra! Welcome to HoP!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

And finally; a short story that says more about me then anything else I've said so far:

One day I was walking through the trails in the bush when I can across a caterpillar crossing the path. It dawned on me how much it must be like suicide for them to try and quickly scurry across the path without getting trampled. So I picked up the caterpillar and went to put him on the leave on the side of the path. As I went to place him onto the leave I was pleasantly surprised when he instead decided to take a bite out of it. I then spent the next five minutes feeding a caterpillar.... It was adorably hilarious to watch and would recommend trying it.

hi sublime,nice to meet you

Nope...

A Mango Shaped Space is about a little girl with a disease called synethesia. The disease causes people's senses to cross wires in their brains so for example she would not only hear a sound but would also see a flash of color as well.

It is a real disease but it doesn't sound too bad to me! I wonder what they would see when listening to music.... mmm.... Zepplin.

It isn't always sound and sight though, for example one man in the book would taste peanut butter whenever he heard his wife's name.

Weird hey?
