Subject: Member's autobiographies
Posted by: satguru

I remember the old blogs when we had an autobiography day when we all posted a summary of our lives, but as they aren't here any more I thought it would be nice for those who are slightly more hungry for fame like me to give as few or as many details as they wish so we can all get to know each other better.
I was born in London in 1960, still live there (two roads from where we lived till 1965 in Kingsbury), and despite many attempts over more than three decades am still single. Following a winding path of subject changes and imposed diversions I managed to get a law degree, and while teaching returned (after a short period of evening classes for a master's in sociology which knocked the stuffing out of me and had to stick to the paid work for practical reasons) to my first choice of career (after entertaining), psychotherapy, which I do now.
The entertaining was always my first interest, but totally unreliable as a career, so although I went to many classes and did some amateur work, without major hours in a year could not get the required union card and had to put it on the back burner after starting my degree onwards. My first love is comedy, doing characters and impressions, and add some piano and guitar into the mix which I have done at parties since I was 16. I also had a strong interest in the supernatural, which I pursued fully when I left college in 1991, joining a psychic development group, followed my meditation classes. I know a little more now than I did but know the vast amount remains uncertain. In case anyone hasn't noticed I'm a cat lover, having them since 1968 onwards, taking in strays as well as our white Persian Snowy who was with us till 1986. I don't have one at the moment but only as I'm away at weekends.
I discovered the internet around 1996, doing searches on supernatural topics and cars mainly, and using the free service at the library as home internet and computers were beyond my range. In 2000 my neighbour delivered an old Compaq PC to my house to do his accounts on, it had a 4gb drive, and got online on the 17th of February, the first site I joined was here as I'd had a list of trivia questions for years and had the chance to get them answered, which 90% were within a day. I then found a supernatural forum, which sadly packed up two years later, where I spent a lot of time answering people's questions (as I had been practising for some time in the area by then), dropping in here whenever I thought of new questions and answering others, as till 2003 my internet was charged per minute.
In 2003 we got flat rate, and I read all the forum threads I wanted to back to the beginning, and could fully participate everywhere, and was made a chat board moderator from 2004-9 which was a very rewarding job, and kept a good number of members from leaving in a huff as so many say they will. In 2005 I finally got a digital camera, as they were now able to match the film ones, and spent a lot of time since using it to its full range, starting with local scenes, and then as far afield as possible for the Ordnance Survey Geograph project. My current project outside that is my Information Revolution, created a couple of months ago after Russell Brand called for a revolution, and when asked what we'd do about it I said the easiest way is through information, and now have over 50 entries on my site.
The entertaining side was never fully dropped, and in 2006 used my professional side to get four TV spots on satellite programmes, hypnotising people who thought they'd been abducted by aliens, and as most come up with very similar stories whenever and wherever it happened is unlikely to be an inner fantasy. All that takes us up to today, as I keep working on getting more media work (I did have my first and only publically published article a couple of years ago as well on my hypnosis work) and looking for the far more elusive woman. My experience is business is planned and can keep trying over and over again till you get it right, while meeting people is random and whatever worked with one doesn't help with the next. I have never found any formula or method there and why every single relationship either ended in disaster or never took off so far. But I can never give up on that one.

My name is Carolyn. I got my screen name from my favorite character in the musical “She Loves Me.” I am a Christian, and a writer. And I am big time Crazy for Swayze. Reply #22. Dec 02 21, 10:58 AM |
