  Soul cast. Casting or throwing your soul is that not great. I hope I can do some good here even though I just talk about my life and country.
  
  I started with a bog called kona which means a woman and then as I was talking of things that I did not feel I could talk about in my small society here I change and got skald. After a while I did not care about whether my county men knew me of not. I deleted my first posts about what I thought I wanted to talk about and my blog became very much like the one that I have in my own language. Yes, I started out wanting to talk about difficult times that I had, had and I found out that I really did not want that,. I did want to be known as I am and not just for difficulties I had for some years. My answer to you if that is why I came here and the The reason why I stay here is because I like it here and I like to be just the way I am. There are so many great people here and I have made many good friends. This is all posetive for me.
  

• wakingharmony said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Hey there, skald! what ever brought you here......I am truly greatful!  I love hearing your stories... and that you are from a different country.....so Beautiful!  And one of my favorite words is "Positive"       

• uniquely-ironic said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I'm not sure what it is that I contribute here.  I know that I reap the huge reward of finding friends.  I try my best to be honest, helpful and kind.  I believe in community, and right now in my RL I don't have a big community to fall back on.  This place is my community.

• crybabylu said on Dec 28, 2007....

  simple, my purpose here is just 'being' part of the SC family.  Have you noticed how well represented SC is by people from all walks of life?  Isn't it great?

• livinglovinglaughing said on Dec 28, 2007....

  The feelings the name invoked is what drew me. Soul cast... that's what i've been feeling like I need to do.. let it all out, cast my soul out for all the world to see, bare all and find myself somewhere in all that is revealed...
   
  Writing is my only way of thinking things out, and writing for myself leaves an empty feeling inside me, cuz i can rationalize anything if i only have myself to convince... no one HAS to read my entries, but knowing that someone might.. that someone somewhere MIGHT get a glimpse into the real me... somehow makes me feel accountable to what i say.

• skald said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Walking .  I subscribed to you again yesterday. I don't know how I got unsubscribed I am sure I was subscribed. So now I saw your post at once. I am happy that I did 

• GracefullyGrowing said on Dec 28, 2007....

  My purpose for being here is just now being revealed to me, so it's not very clear yet.  What an exciting journey it is!
   
  ~Grace~

• wakingharmony said on Dec 28, 2007....

  UI ~ I find it  Uniquely Ironic that you are here!!
  cry~ I love that fact the most! Everyone here and from so many places~ It is like traveling without airfare` and really meeting the people from their countries. Not just seeing their countries.
  livinglaughingloving  or which ever way you do it is  Is Wonderful!
  skald what does your name mean? and Thank you so much I am glad you enjoy me as much as I do you!
   

• skald said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Skald means a poet, author too. I took it as it is short. And sometimes I feel poetic. lol 

• ImNotJaded said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I don't know my purpose on Soul Cast but I know I'm here because I'm searching for my soul.  I'm a mental mess right now, but don't fret, I'm in therapy.  I'm actually looking for attention.  I have little or no friends (locally) and no one to talk to except my on again off again mentally abusive boyfriend who tries to isolate me from friends and family.  Therapy is teaching me that I allow him to do that.  Well, I'm trying to be more assertive.  But he holds me with emotional blackmail "do as I say or I won't come over any more".  Why am I so weak?  I'm 47 and lonely.  I used to be quite a social butterfly in my younger years.  Life seems to get tougher as I get older.  I wish I had the carefree atitude I used to have when I was a young hottie.  People say I'm still attractive, but I don't feel it.  I have this huge wrinkle between my eyebrows (from stress from frowning).  Anyway, I'd like to be part of this community cause you all sound so strong and positive and helpful to each other.

• wakingharmony said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Well Jaded I have met the best friends here.....and when they are here they are here for you! Count me as a new one too!

• crybabylu said on Dec 28, 2007....

  WH--have you read not-jaded's post on her blog.? It will either make your heart break, or make you mad........either one, I wanted to go beat somebody up for breaking her heart like that.

• quietone said on Dec 28, 2007....

  waking ~ I am here because I can just "BE".  I enjoy reading others more than I write.  You all are like company I invite into my home almost every day.  :) 

• wombat said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Well, I met a nice friend in person--the special lady above this comment--quietone!
   
  I got here by accident, when I searched for something I saw on tv.  Off to the side was a link for SoulCast, and I just checked it out at random--never meaning to actually get on a blog site!  After reading some pages, I signed up and stuck my nose in....  I tried to quit once and deleted all my posts, but then came back.  Every time I say I will quit, I can't help but look again to see what's up with all the nice people I have met here. 
   
  I feel blessed with meeting you all and for being allowed to be a part of SC.  I guess I have to say that I stay because I like it here--and I miss it when I'm not.  Maybe part of me is just curious about what I may have missed.  I have fun here.
   
  The other two things:
   
  I have found a place to "let out alot of pain" of my own from time to time, and it has been like therapy.
   
  And, last but certainly not least!   If I have ever been helpful to anyone at all, at any time, for any reason--then that is the best reason of all for being here. 
   
  Guess I got carried away with my answer here, but I had to make sure I got all my thoughts in on this one!

• quietone said on Dec 28, 2007....

  oh, wombie...you are something else!  {{{hugs}}}

• wombat said on Dec 28, 2007....

  quietone:  Thanks, and if they ever come up with a word for it, I hope someone lets me know...ha.....!

• travelr712 said on Dec 28, 2007....

  i know exactly why i am here. there are people that come here who need my help, my advice, my encouragement, who need me to care about them and their lives. they come and go. they need me for a time, and then they don't. and when one leaves, another shows up. that's always been my place in life, i don't begrudge it at all. and it's not like i help everyone either, just a few who need what i have to offer. and they always help me to, sometimes in ways that they don't even know. like, when i'm lonely, or feeling disconnected, someone will come to me with a problem or a joy, and i'll feel important to another person again. and i take my problems to them too, the ones that i just can't keep inside. those that come here to stay have several common things about them, and one of the most prevelant of those things, is compassion.

• lfbno7 said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I don't know why I'm here.

• evil_twin said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I don't really know what my purpose is here. I didn't come here with any purpose except to write and possibly meet some people. I hope that I've succeeded in making lots of friends and making people laugh sometimes. That's all I really wanted to do :-)

• Mr_Box said on Dec 28, 2007....

  The only purpose I had here was to see where my brother spent all his time. I was curious.

  But I stayed because I like it here. The people are cool.

  So I suppose my purpose is just to have a good time.

• lalalalalala said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I am here for friendship. Plain and simple. We all deserve somebody don't we?

  lfbno7~ FOR ME!!!! hehe  I'd be lost without you!! And so would many more of your friends here!

• MissMimi said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I came here originally because I was tagging along with some friends.  Hard to say what my purpose is.  Comic relief?  The village idiot?  A dire warning of what not to do?  I have no idea.

• Mamie said on Dec 28, 2007....

  I liked the name soul cast and found treasures that I was never expecting. I do not know what my purpose it here but I do know that it is a gift beyond measure! mamie

  what i said was, wow waking, you have? that makes me feel good. i've made allot of good friends here, and i treasure each and every one of them.

• gingersoul said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Margaret........SC has been for me a walk thru the vineyards of my memories and the denied feelings and, most of all, my anger. I have been able to clean my soul opening it again to deep connections, feeling again my worthy and my audacity....i had been ripped away of all those things from a thief who walked away in the night without looking back....not one single time ...anymore...

  SC has been a secret room, the room that Virginia Woolf talks about..a room all of my own.....people looked and found me and saw thru me and recognized my anger and my need to be listened.....i found out that i was still curious and willing to listen too...

  That's why i came here..... that's why i am still here...no matter how little is the time i might have now..

  I always read......i always smile at each friends's posts and comments...{{hugs}}

   

• Eilan said on Dec 28, 2007....

  Like Mimi, I was tagging along with friends; in fact, Mimi was one of those friends.
  
  I don't think I have a greater purpose.  I just like talking about myself.
  

• phoeby said on Dec 29, 2007....

  i am here because i am  much more free to express how i want to. The other site i go on (it's a messageboard too) is sort of quasi-restrictive with content. I like going between both so i get a dose of both vibes.
  
  
  i came here originally to blurt and express and cathartically get stuff out which i couldn't really do on the other site
  
  
  now i just love talking and it gives me incredibly valid reasons for not doing some things i need to do in life, like assignments *lmao*!!!! 

• moonriver said on Dec 29, 2007....

  moonriver k'ung fu-tzu say, concubinage research bring me here. now me more confused than ever, purpose no longer clear. me think the only sure part of personal profile is the "asian fire monkey" part... :-)

  One learning Soulcaster. One connected Soulcaster. One laptop at a time.

  The mission of One Laptop per Soulcaster (OLPS) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.

  Since November 12th, OLPS has been offering a limited-time Give One Get One program in the United States and Canada. During Give One Get One, you can donate the revolutionary XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one for the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. Thanks to a growing interest in the program, we have extended Give One Get One through the end of the year. You may also donate laptops via our Simply Give and Give Many options. Through the increasing public interest in OLPS, we hope to give many more children the opportunity to grow, explore, learn and express themselves.

• rupert7 said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I stumbled on this place. I wasn't looking for anything,I just found it. I have been here about 8 months,I think - I am not sure. There are a lot of nice people here. As in the real world,some I like more than others but unlike the real world there is NOBODY here I don't like. I don't presume to think I have a purpose. I don't presume to think I am needed,or even useful in any way. I don't think I have ever helped anyone. So why am I here? - I don't know! Why do I find it impossible to leave? - I don't know! I joined another blog and have made a few friends there,and yet I am finding myself spending more and more time here and less and less time there. Why?....yeah why??? lol

• blastfromthepast said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I just happened to be skipping aimlessly through 'cyber-land' looking for a place to blog.  I was an on-line virgin at the time, so didn't really know what I was doing.  When I wound up at SC, and read what was going on here at the time, I decided to stay.  I have no regrets.

• momsrock said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I'm not really sure what my purpose here is... I love the interaction and reading other peoples posts and when I need advice or a new perspective I come here because there are a lot more people with different life experiences and I always seem to get better advice or a fresh new look at the situation. I would like to think I make a difference with some of my comments or help people the way they have helped me...:)

• CreativeWoman said on Dec 29, 2007....

  It's not what my original intent was, but it has become my major outlet for dealing with my emotions. It's pretty selfish, I know.  I just do it for me as a release of things that would otherwise fester inside me.  This is the place where I can be honest with myself.

• Me-Myself&I said on Dec 29, 2007....

  to see outside the box! **smile** to learn, share, express things that i can't in any other way. to watch and learn how folks respond to circumstances. this is a wonderful learning tool for me. i feel so much love here. i release lots of love too.  i come here also to see if anyone out there is like me.....or likes me. **smile**

• eatmytaco said on Dec 29, 2007....

  That is a vey good question. I am new here, I started just a few days ago when I finished my semester and had all this free time to do nothing. Anyhow, so far I've only written a couple lines, but I think it is so cool that people from all over the country (or world?) can interact with no other interest but to simply reach out and undertand others. As for revealing my soul, I think it is something that I can work up to. Its not easy. You'd think that anonimity would be what made bearing your soul easier, after all noone will ever see you or know who you are, but words alone can mean so much. Am i the only one who wants to confess to things or share experiences that would totally expose me? Some of this stuff I would love to hear replies to. Anyway, we'll see.

• wakingharmony said on Dec 29, 2007....

  eatmytaco~ how cute a name is that!!! hehe I love it! Read away and  This a great place I have been here since July and there are many wonderful souls here. Hmm thinking...  There are a few other college soul casters and a few in high school too. if you hold the cursor over the subscribers name it tells you a bit about them... for help you might want to ask silverwhisper  or pickersplock  or gosh some of the veterns here...  I belive orangesummer is young too and there are a few here. skald is from iceland destinydiva england lfbno7 is my best bud hes really a big teddy bear  oh no I am going to get myself in trouble but ask any one if you need help Welcome to Soul cast!!!

  Waking: Geez, I sound illiterate! I meant to say: It allows me to be the 'me' that others don't always see.

  Anyway, I appreciate the welcome. I've been lurking about a bit. Only in the last few weeks have I been posting. Sometimes I'm content to be on the outside, looking in. Observation is just enough stimulation. Other times, I wish to reach out. Know what I mean?

• Zayda said on Dec 30, 2007....

  Honestly, I'm not really sure what my purpose here at SC is. I came here to write. And I just write whatever happens to be on my mind. So, if there is some "greater" purpose to that, I have no idea what it is.

• Battycat said on Dec 31, 2007....

  I found this place by accident, I'm not sure why I'm here, maybe to learn how to communicate better, to open up more? I think I've also found a new way of living, and I'm just starting out on that path, and that's thanks to people here :-)

• wakingharmony said on Dec 31, 2007....

  Zayda~ I think you were also one of the 1st 5 souls I met here...and still enjoy what you have to say! So thanks for speaking whats on your mind.
  
  Battycat~ I am glad you found this place as I am sure there are others that have been touched by your friendship!

• Clair_de_Lune said on Jan 08, 2008....

  regardless of a purpose here.
  everyone..Everyone..has a greater purpose..on earth..
  
  if a little time in that plan at a place like soulcast can be worked to the good..then
  ..it's that's great..
  
  I'm content that..for me anyway..I feel God wastes nothing..
  
  I don't think good or kind or encouraging words are time wasting..
  
  God can even wok bad experiences to the good..
  
  I am not sure knowing that will make me stay here..
  
  But, I still believe that, for those who love Him, God works all things to the good..
  
  As for another, or greater purpose for me being in this specific place...Hem..
  Other than appreciating some kind words spoken to me here..None that I know of..
  Presently..*shrugs
