on October 6th (presents are welcome).
P.S. Just kidding about the presents thing, kind of.
Well I'll try to keep this brief- My name is Lucinda and I like Bella before; am born on October 6th! I'll be 23 this year as last year I was 22!  I live in Melbourne in Australia. i have been opened for just over 6 months now, I came to Subud through a ( now ex ) boyfriend and subsequently the subud friends I meet through him! At our Janurary congress this year I was tested in as the Melbourne Youth Rep- a position I hope we'll help me to grow and get to know more people-in Subud and beyond.
I'm in my fourth year of study at university, this year and next to go, I'm doing Teaching (secondary) and Health Science (majoring in Psych & Heath)... I really enjoy studying but as I have not done any major travelling I am REALLY looking forward to finishing my studies and heading off to Italy- my dream destination (I'm learning italian slowly!)
I love music, all forms and variations probably with the exception of gangster type rap and dance/techno. I'm learning guitar also VERY slowly. I live in a house above a shop with a friend of 6 or so years and am looking for a new housemate at the moment.
well I'm going to STOP now before I blab on far too much, if you want to talk some more my e-mail is caboosy@gmail.com or check my myspace out! http://myspace.com/2ndtodeath
love and smiles
from
Lucinda  |

Hi! I'm Maya, I just realised I had an account here from years ago. Erm...I'm originally from Bellingham, Washington in the states, but I moved to Wellington, New Zealand recently, and am going to school here, studying film (or hoping to study film, they're making me wait!).
I'm 22, or will be in a few days, and I'm very excited. Yes, yes, yes! Um, can't think of anything else to write, but I know Brianna, too! She lived with my sister, and was always very nice to me when I came over to visit. We'll see who else I may know on here. Happy posting! |

Hello people
I'm Bachrun. Strangely, for someone who talks too much, I now find I have very little to say.
I'm 22, soon to be 23. I was opened nearly a year ago. My dad's been in Subud for a very long time, and as a Subud kid I experience lots of people telling me that they know my dad, or that they met me when I was very young.
I'm a member of the Birmingham group, where I go during my holidays. I'm a student, studying at Cambridge, so I'm part of the group there too. Just finished my third year (out of four) of a MEng degree.
Found out about this site from Henry Rogers. Hello Henry. I finally signed up.
Just been reading through this thread, and saw Stuart Nauen is on here. Met him for the first time at Latihan last night.
One of my main interests is renewable energy/sustainable development, with a specific focus on sociological and economic factors influencing development and implementation of new technologies. Lots of long words, but it's all to do with changing things for the better in ways that people will accept and go along with. Once I finish at uni, this is the type of work I'd like to get into. That or cars. Either fast cars, or environmentally friendly ones.
I'm sure I've talked too much already. I can't tell you too much about myself, as then you wouldn't want to talk to me. |

| Bachrun, totally sympathise with everyone knowing your parents or remembering you as a baby. I remember once walking down a street in California with my sister and a woman randomly stopped us and said, "excuse me, are you Icsan and Roosmiwati's girls?" It ended up being an old Subud friend of theirs but it was really unexpected. It was rather a surprise moving to another country and realising that I had to now create my own identity within the Subud community, and not rely on my family. It's been very good, though. |

My favourite comment from all the people posting comments so far is the one from Hubert............ 'hello my name is Hubert'.....absolutely brilliant..........from this comment we can deduce so much about Hubert.............firstly that his name is Hubert and then secondly that........urrrrmmm actually there is no secondly but anyway brilliant..........
In a similar style.........hi my name is Hamid.......
...........just kidding I can't possibly come onto such a wonderful medium as Subud Life without saying something about my experiences with the big guy.
To be honest I'm a little disappointed that I'm only listed as a newbie - especially considering I was one of the first members of Subud (and Subud Life) ever.
I first received the latihan in 1906 - twenty years before that Bapatak guy - unfortunately his marketing strategy (mysterious Indonesian bloke travels to the west wearing a funny hat) was much more successful than mine (hitch hiking to the Shetland Islands and starting an organic food/drama workshop commune). However I've never held it against him guy and we're still in regular contact........
Anyway someone has now set up a means of communication that reaches the Shetland islands and I can, at long last, begin to share some of my deepest Latihan Kejdjiwaan experiences with a wider audience. I plan to do this through a forum site entitled 'Hamid, myself and I'. The first topic, to be changed hourly, will be "sleeping during latihan - 'deep spiritual cleansing' or 'poor excuse for a kip?' discuss."
Thats all for now guys but check back in a couple of days and I'll tell you about the time Ibu Rahayable insisted my helper card be ripped into smithereens.
Peace and Harmony

My name is Rosana and I have just been elected SICA USA Chair, so I thought I would come aboard this site and get connected.
I live in Indianapolis, Indiana at the moment but have lived all over the world. I am a singer and actress, director/producer. |

Hi, my name is Emmanuel and I'm a canidate helper. <group echos back> Hi, Emmanuel</> 
Like Hamid, I'm amused at being a Newbie even when I joined the site in '04.
Hi Maya, Bachrun (I think I know you, were you in San Deigo when you were a little kid? If you were, we played together...), Brianna, Hubert (of the Bright Mind, cool name!), and everyone else,
Having just been through another National Congress I am freshly reminded how even at the ripe old age of 29 (ok, don't you all laugh too hard now) I can still be recognized and greeted solely on the merit of my ancestery (Oh, you're Melinda/Mayrav/Levi/Hummer's son! I've known you since you were this tall!) . And people end up with ancestor issues? I don't get it... Sorry, I digress, but it's fun! (If you knew me since I was that tall, don't you think you wouldn't have to remind me?)
*deep breath*
Who am I? Yes, that's right. Emmanuel aka Eman, Emmy, E, etc. (no, etc isn't one of my nicknames, but you get the point) Pleshe. Descendent of two olde tyme Subudians, Mary/Mayrav/Melinda Wallis (the Subud USA national office manager formerly known as Pleshe) and Robert/Levi/Patrick/Levi/Humphrey/Hummer Pleshe.
Grew up for a while in Southern California, Los Angeles, San Deigo, Santa Cruz before moving up to Washington, near enough to Seattle.
Played alot of LARPs (live action role playing), had fun. Got married, had a gorgeous baby girl (she's downstairs with my mom now doing story time). Got divorced, but never fear, things are alright. I'm married again, it's great.
I work as a Computer Technician, somewhat specialized, and can explain more, but not now.
My time for writing this has just run out as I realize it's time to tuck said daughter, Rachel, in.
Love,
Emmanuel |

Hi Emmanuel
I think you've got the wrong Bachrun there. I've never been to San Deigo in my life. I went to Texas when I was a baby, but that's the only time I've been to America.
Good to meet you (albeit online and for the first time) anyway though.

Yes, good to meet you then there was a Subud family in San Deigo with British parents and a kid named Bachrun, that's pretty much my memory of it all right now |

Waw! Your dad managed to change his name once more than mine! That's quite an accomplishment. But wait a minute, you've repeated one of the names twice, so I guess it's only 5 names each. |

Yeah, I did repeat Levi, but so did he... Nice to know my dad's not the only one... I guess I really did know that already. |

Hi Emmanuel,
I actually do know you, a little, having lived in Washington all my life up until 6 months ago and going to family camps and seeing you and Jeff Q. slinking around in capes. I've also met your daughter at said family camps and I agree with you, she is gorgeous! |
