This is one of the stranger message boards I've seen. I'm not quite sure what it's all about. All I know was I was getting the shit spammed out of me, and getting on here seems to have made it stop. I don't know who signed me up for this, but I hope they didn't sign me up for any others. I'd hate to have to change over emails because of too much spam, I've had my current email for a long time now.

I know, right? I don't have much money to spare. I might have to get a job this summer so I'll have more spending money next year.

Greedy spouse-stealing demon? So... you had a wife? Sorry, I don't really know anything about your pantheon. I wasn't really raised with any religion, and I only learned a little bit about the Greeks and Egyptians in school. I was always interested about the Egyptian deities, so I did my own reading up about them.

Yeah, we got a real sick fuck in our pantheon. At least he was when Anubis knew him. And it turns out he's out there somewhere too. I just hope he's not still holding a grudge. Compared to him, school's no worry at all. The others in my pantheon are saying it'll be alright. Hope they're right.

I hear you. I work part-time at a restaurant up here and then do odd jobs around the neighborhood. Yardwork, you know? Luckily, I'm low maintenance.

I had a wife, I think, but it wasn't my wife that got stolen. She was Rama's and I met him and his brother when they were searching for her. I helped. A lot, really. ;)

If they know him and they say that it'll be okay, trust them. Just be careful, too. The way I figure, there are still too few of us to go all-out infighting. You don't have to be BFFs with the guy and, if you're worried, it probably is best to not be alone with him until you're sure but I really hope that you both can be civil to each other.

Besides, you can't get laid up by this guy. You and me are on for pizza.

The only job I've ever had was doing some chores and stuff around a neighbor's farm.

That's so weird, right? I have these dreams a lot, for as long as I can remember, except now I guess they're actually memories. I think I had a wife too, and a daughter.

Believe me, I'll be careful. Super extra careful. Though death doesn't necessarily scare me or anything. It was kinda part of Anubis's thing, after all. But I would rather stay alive.

I don't think we have to get back together with our wives or expect that we'll have our kids again if we had kids, though, which is a weight off my mind. I am so very not ready to have kids or a wife or husband or concubine or whatever. But to see people you knew back then again and make friends with them all over? It sounds cool.

Good, good. Super extra careful is something I can support. Death really isn't something to be scared of, no, but it's not something that you should go jumping after, I think. Unless you're looking for a heads start on your next reincarnation.

[Mason]

But you might want to. If you met someone again who you loved in a past life, you might still love them. Who knows. It would be nice to meet family and loved ones again.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Totally true. If I met her again and fell in love with her again, then that's different. We love who we love.

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

True. I can't say I remember much about any past lives' spouses. I think for most of them, I didn't have one. I can't even remember much about Anubis's wife either.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't really remember anything about my wife either. Then again, if you read up on Hanuman, some sources say I was celibate but those are mostly the ones from the medieval times when everyone seemed to get really hung up on sex. Go figure. Me, celibate? XD

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

LOL

Not a chance, huh?

Yeah, I suppose what I can't remember of Abubis's love life, I could infer from my own. Heh! Nah, probably a bad idea.

Re: [Javi]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Not a chance, nope. There are way too many interesting (and cute) people in the world and I'm not about to become a monk or a priest. Especially now!

I support going after your own love life and not worrying too much about the past. It all works out in the end and you never know if you don't try.

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Especially now?

Yeah. It's a good attitude to have. Not that I've have much of a love life to speak of, other than a lone night here and there.

Re: [Javi]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Well, now that I'm a godling myself. Even if I wasn't, though, I would make for a really lousy priest/monk/etc.

I thought your roomie got you out and around, though? He should introduce you to cooler people then. :)

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I'm not complaining. I didn't have a sex life at all in high school. I've had some occasional luck while out with my roomie. And at campus groups too. I guess I'll have more free time come summer to chase after that kinda stuff too. Assuming I stay around here for the summer, which I'd like to if I can.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

That sounds like a plan to me. Sex or no sex, getting out and meeting people is always fun and it sounds like Nebraska doesn't offer you much - either sex, friends, or just people who got you. Which is a shame as you seem really cool.

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Right.

Actually, meeting people can be a little stressful sometimes. I don't relate to people real well. I do way better here than back home though.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

I can see that. If you're not around people all the time or you end up moving or you're just quieter, meeting people can be a hassle. I have friends who are never the club or party types. If we hang out, it's always small groups because that's what makes them comfy. Coffee shops, cafes, the park. Things like that.

And I think you're doing just fine relating. We're having a conversation here, right: :)

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. That and I really never got along much with anyone back home. Here has been much better, though it has taken me a while to meet people. Oh, I do fine over a computer. In real life, not always so well.

I don't mind bars and clubs. They're fun for people watching, if nothing else. I'm not the best at approaching people, but I usually don't need to. A lot of times people find me.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

That's a good trick to know. I usually just end up doing the approaching myself but that's probably because I'm impatient and, if you believe the hype, shameless.

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Ha! Shameless? How so?

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Oh, you know. I just go up and talk to people and ask them about themselves. Or ask them to dance or out on a date or whatever seems like a good idea at the time. The worst anyone can say is no, right? Of course, yes leads to other things and then you learn more about them and you just have fun and enjoy whatever you're doing. Which, admittedly, if it starts in a club or a bar, usually ends up with kissing. So I guess that's shameless. XD

[Javi]

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I'd just think of that as friendly, not really shameless. I may not be he most outgoing person, but I do enjoy people who are.

[Mason]

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Now THAT is really good to know because otherwise we would have some serious issues hanging out and that would be a bummer.
