multiplicity_archivesHi. I'm not quite sure how to introduce myself.
My name's Makil. I know about this community from a couple of the others I share my body with. I generally avoided the internet until recently, except for information gathering purposes. Now I've got my own Livejournal account and I'm working at an internet cafe(although another does most of the work).
Anyway, I was gone, non-existant, and integrated with two or three of the others voluntarily for almost a year. Then suddenly, about three or four weeks ago, here I was again. I'm not sure what to make of it. I went away to make the system more stable and because, frankly, I didn't want to have to deal with any of the bullshit that was our life anymore. Anyway, its not like I killed myself and there was good reason but now I don't know at all why I'm back out.
On top of that things have changed drastically. We're apparently getting married in 11 days. Something of a shocker that. Then two of the others (who are out the most) had two nervous breakdowns together related to stress over our college and our relationship and a new job and, and, and, yada yada yada, you get the point. La-dee-da. So I manage to keep myself from falling into the emotional pit they managed to dig and got to deal with their fiance. Met her alter named Raven. Sorta had some chemistry with her. Quite a bit in fact.
I'm not really sure what I think of all of it. I'm not a very emotional person thankfully or I'd guess I'd be having overloads and breakdowns too. I tend to be pretty laid back. I am somewhat surprised about the feelings I've had toward Raven but those are definitely the pleasant kind so that's cool.
Anyway, I've sorta gone and run out of things to say.
In case any of you want to know who I have to hang out with all day here's the list:

morgil_lomion myorp _flute_. There's about ten others but they don't use the net.
So I guess that's that.

Date: 2004-09-28 12:57 pm (UTC)Here's what I know from the international meeting list I have:
Kirkwood: Recommended for newcomers, Wednesdays at 7pm, St. Joseph's Hospital, 525 Couch Avenue, Anita Chase Room (3rd floor by West elevators), contact Bob (314) 965-2059.
St. Louis: Saturdays at 10am, United Church of Christ, 7126 Bruno at Bellevue, church library, side door.
University City: Women only, Sundays at 6:30pm, Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion, 7401 Delmar (between Big Bend and Hanley), downstairs/Jackson St. entrance, contact Judy (314) 993-5421.
You don't have to call or talk to anyone before going, but it can be handy to make sure those meetings are still there and at the same time and everything. Apparently the last time these numbers were verified was in 2000-2001 (for these particular meetings) so I don't know if those are still the numbers... I mean, if the contact number changes they're supposed to let SIA know, but they don't always do that.
As for meetings in general... You can probably get some ideas of what kind of stuff is said and read by checking out the online meeting's site, http://leaves.wineberry.net/sia/online ... people show up, read different things about the program and abuse and the meeting and whatnot, share things (no cross-talk, which is nice cause then nobody tells you what to do unless you ask them for advice yourself) and then hang out afterward if they want. It's a good place for support and learning tools to deal with this kind of stuff.
