    I was 'unhappy', but that was just a phase while I was still in the borg, so then I decided to start again. Free2think is how I feel now, that I can think properly for the first time. The flower just makes me happy when I see it.

    Here's a lesson in Cockney rhyming slang for you,

    Bubble and Squeak = Greek

    Greek people in the UK are often referred to as a 'Bubble'.

    I am Greek Cypriot, therefore I am a 'Bubble'.

    My avatar is a photo we took in the West Midlands safari park of a deer. It's a great picture I think.

    Sad emo

    My niece calls me a 'dirty emo' because of the music I like, but I didn't want folks here to get the wrong impression I was (in typical emo fashion!) depressed at the time so I went for 'Sad'

    Not so sad anymore though so I recently changed my avatar to Nemo cos its a-(n)-emo and Nemo was on a journey home but had his friend Dory to keep him encouraged - a bit like the folks here do for me

    Is that you in your avatar New Boy?

    I just used my real name and my real picture.

    The reason was that I had been out so long that I had no reason to fear anything about the WT, and I thought it might spark the memory of some that I knew while I was in it years ago. (it did, too). So, just call me -

    James

    PS - that is my real dog in the Avatar, and my real car of the time in my avatar. It got replaced later by a Z06. Dog still around, but about twice as big now.

    PS Arthur. I've meant to comment "Arthur" is one of my all time favorite movies. I am MOST annoying to be around when watching...I love to say the lines outloud. LOL

    Once I learned the truth behind "the Truth," I concluded it was all a bad dream, a daze. Now I have an improved outlook, and am confident for better days ahead.

    The avatar is from the 25th anniversary of an autumn picnic called "Proud to be Alive Day."

    So, I'm Proud to be Alive, and hoping for Better Days.

    Jourles

    Decided to use the electrical term of Joules, but then thought that was kind of generic. So I really screwed it up and thought "why not just make up an original word/name?" Hence, the "R" appeared in the middle - and now no one knows how to pronounce it. (hint: just use joules)

    The avatar has changed only three times over the last 6-7 years. The latest one is of me playing in a volleyball tournament on Lake Michigan. If I ever change it again, it will likely stay associated with vb. VB is my religion nowadays.
