Why did you pick your handle?
For dmmdrums, I was trying to get an e-mail name & thought that using my initials & what I do (drum) would fit. It stuck. For Der Trommler, my favorite drummer (Neil Peart) has named his solos according to where he was playing (O' Baterista in Rio). So, on the R30 tour, Rush taped in Hamburg, Germany. He thusly named the solo Der Trommler (the drummer in German). The handle was thought up by Illistyl for a Rush forum for me. I decided to go with that.
What path do you follow?
Many years ago, I became fascinated with the Celts. I have started on that road away from Wiccan (which I was thinking I was going to be a Green Witch). Then, more recently, I discovered (here, I might add) Druidry. It has captivated me thus far & I am feeling that I will be on this road for quite some time.
How long have you been following it?
Pagan, a little under 2 years. Celtic/druidry, just started
Does it effect you everyday life?
Yes, I've gone back to many things I have done in the past & realized my mistakes. I'm dwelling on the past as much as realizing what I did could've had a better result had I been on this path years ago. But that time wasn't right for me as it is now (besides, I've always been a late bloomer!)
How do you integrate your beliefs in your daily life?
Looking out at the world, seeing grass, the sun, birds, etc...allows me to get a sense of who I am. Integrating is not as simple as I would think but rather it's a part of my life. A ritual of habits that I've formed over the years. Things like, the old addage 'do unto others as you would have others do unto you'
This became a big part of my life & I've just changed religion & the saying is a little weirder to say but still the same.
Has the Pagan Mystics effected your life?
What is your current occupation?
office worker. Pretty bland but pays the bills!
What would be your dream job?
Playing drums in band in front of 15,000+ fans
What did you want to be?
A Rock Star!!!
Dreams for the future?
Get married, have kids, move to a more rural area of my state & live in peace with nature.
What was your favorite childhood game?
Hide & seek (I could always hide in great places!)
If you could have any animal (mythical or otherwise) as a pet, what would it be? Dragon...but the clean up would be so difficult!
What are 5 words that your partner/friends would use to describe you? 5 words you would use?
I'm not sure I could use the first 5 words they would use! (lol)
Goofy
funny
talented
caring
talkative (I asked Illistyl & these are the narrowed down 'PG' version)
What do you do to relax?
Fish, play NHL '06, watch nature....
What is your favorite date/ night out?
12/25 & 12/24
(hahahaha...just kidding) I think a nice simple night that I can have dinner, movie, & go for a walk afterwards
How do you express yourself?
Playing drums, writing (when I can), & through forums
What is it, specifically that you have the hardest time with as far as your faith is concerned?
Not always feeling you are where you are supposed to be. There is not a cut dry answer to faith so sometimes, you have to find your own way there.
What is your take on the "Gods?" (polytheist, monotheist, etc.)
Why? The universe is inifinte (as far as we know). Why would there be only 1 god? I think back to the Celts, Greeks & Babylonians. I think they had it right. There are loads of gods that we know & ones we don't know. Why should we think Monotheistically (is that a word?!?)
Please add anything of interest about yourself
I'm not sure if anything I add here would be of interest! Well, I'm learning Irish, soon to follow (I hope) Scottish, Welsh. After that, I'll figure it out. I fish, play video games, love board games, card games....any card game. Movies-comedy, action....
I feel like I'm on a dating service!!! lol
