Hi,

Something in my entry does not seem right.

I have created an introduction, and was told I will get "many replies", but I do not believe it had been as much as posted to anyone. Can you, please help me to introduce myself to suiyable participants?

Many thanks

Hi Smartqueenoflight,

I'm sorry you've been mislead somehow. It is brilliant that you've written an introduction, but as long as no people come to your Personal Space and read it, it's unlikely you'll get any comments, and it's pretty much the same with your journals. Once you've participated in conversations here, maybe even have written something for one of the several forums we have here, people will remember your name, they will browse your PS and your journals, and they'll leave a message for you - but it will take time. Once you've made friends, they will add you to their friendslist, and if you then publish a new journal, it will pop up on their spaces, hence they will know that you have written something new. But like in RL, this will take a while, so please, don't be disheartened.
You've done the right thing posting to me, because I'm here to help.
I will have a closer look at your introduction, and maybe I know of somebody who shares some of your interests, so I could introduce you to them.
If you want to just start a discussion about something that is important to you, there is <./>Askh2g2</.> or <./>miscchat</.> - they are good starting points to get to know people - Ask is for the more serious discussions and 'real' questions, and Miscellaneous Chat is for whatever you want to talk about.

Ok, here i am again. I don't know spot on anybody who is into philosophy, but for some reason, your introduction made me think of another (not so new) newbie I once aced, healingmagichands at U4393558
If you go and read her space and journals and/or blog it should give you an idea whether or not you see a basis for a talk. She lives in America, though, but I guess she knows others, who know others and so on...
If you get in touch with her, please just tell her that I sent you, I sent others to her aswell as sending her to others, and I hope she will remember me.
