Hi there- I also joined after the closing of the old official forum, some of you might have seen me over there:

Name: Himiko (Emma is my actual name, but it is also ridiculously common, so it's probably simpler to stick with Himiko :p)
Age: 22
Location: UK
Interests: Reading, listening to music, browsing internets, jobseeking (not really a hobby, but something I spend a lot of my time doing these days). Occasionally, when I have enough spare pennies for ingredients, I like to bake.
Bands I like: Blind Guardian, Skindred, Sabaton, Subway to Sally, Alestorm, Finntroll, Loreena McKennitt, Helium Vola, Trevor Jones, Ayreon, Nightwish, E Nomine, The Black Mages, Abney Park, Steeleye Span, Iron Maiden, Lindisfarne and various others.
Religion: Agnostic
Smoker: Not really
Drinker: I've never drunk alone, but having been a student for some years before this, a lot of alcohol has been consumed. Am cutting down mostly for financial reasons, but also because I'm trying to lose a little weight, and the hangovers hit me much harder these days: :kickass: -> :puke:

Additional Info: I like to play Devil's Advocate, especially on forums, so my apologies for that. I can be a bit of a pessimist. More to follow. Possibly.
 
Welcome to everyone!

And look, C! I'm posting on YOUR forum! I'm being good! Can I have a cookie? :D :lol:

Heh Danteryu, a video game/computer geek that enjoys bands like Battlelore. Unheard of here! Kidding of course. Many of us here can thank C for turning us on to Battlelore btw.
Click to expand...

I never noticed this before, but yeah, on the surface of things I seem like a huge nerd. My name is even a combination of my two favourite video game characters... :lol:

I've been into Battlelore for a while, long before I ever joined any Nightwish forum, but it's cool to see other people who like them - as for BG, I love Nightfall in Middle Earth SO MUCH.
 
Officially this is my first post here. I've lurked for a long time, almost as much as I did on the official NW forums, but now they've changed and everything's rearranging anyway, I figure I'll take a shot at an actual post! :)

Name: Desi (short for Desiree)
age: 26 (I'll be 27 in Feb, I'm a Pisces)
Location: Kansas City area in Missouri, USA
hobbies: Music music music.. I used to play WoW (I was a BC kid), my life revolved around raid times. I haven't raided since Wrath. I love going to concerts, surfing the internet, video games, movies, etc. I'm pretty easy going. I also teach kids piano a few hours a week.
fave bands: Nightwish obviously, No Doubt (super mega fan since childhood), The Living End, Dawes.. My tastes seriously run the gamut. Used to be a ska nerd, now I'm getting into heavier sounds, and a lot more eclectic.
Religion: Atheist
Smoker: No, thank goodness I never started that habit. So much money!
drinker: Occasionally!
additional info: I have an 11 year old basset hound, although he's been living with my mother for the last year and a half. I miss him (even though I see him at least twice a week)! His name is Bumples.
My best friend and I got into Nightwish together. It's been a common bond for us for awhile. We're both fairly new fans (just after DPP came out).. :)
 
Sorry for taking while to join here

Name: Jadelion (or Jade)
Gender: female
Age: ahem
Location: Abyss of bottomless despair where they drink herbal tea because they have given up caffeine and/or the mysticism section of the bookshop
Interests: I am working on having some interests, its just in the planning stage at the moment really
Religion: New age hippy
Smoker: /Drinker: No alchohol, no caffeine, no sodas, no smoking, no herbal teas
Additional Info: I was on the old NW board a little bit in the past (but haven't been around for a while)
 
Right on, Jade. I've not had a soda in well over a year, and i consider caffeine to be a drug just like any other. It's generally unhealthy and to be avoided.

I have a feeling "new age mysticism" means Wicca, or possibly (though less likely) Golden Dawn. I've always had a keen interest in Thelema and the works of Crowley in general, though I've more or less moved away from it when I acknowledged a few years ago what I've always really been: an atheist (putting aside minor issues with the word itself). At any rate, welcome to the forums. :]
 
Thanks Tramz and C
I don't drink sodas because I think they keep me awake. But Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they do put something in it to make it addictive (lol)

By new age I meant I will believe in any sort of weirdness not just one thing, dream techniques, reincarnation, spirit guides, whatever.
If there is a book on it in the mind body spirit section then I will read it.
 
Happy solstice (for several days ago) in that case.

I don't think that I have read any books by her but its possible I have and don't remember it, it does look a bit familiar.
