Hi everybody!

I'm Schtroumpfette, but you guys can call me Smurfette, it's the same name but in English. Some of you may have seen me posting in the French section of Psychonaut.com - or not.

I'm 24, I was born and still live in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. I'm studying journalism and hope I'll be soon able to get a proper job in this domain that allows me to travel a lot - I want to see as much as possible of the world. Otherwise I enjoy writing, reading, watching movies and listening to music (electronic music such as tekno, acid, minimal, breakcore, ..., but also punk and rap).

Except alcohol, cannabis and some solvents I tried when I was a teenager, I began to "seriously" use drugs when I was 18, with some ecstasy pills. After that I tried speed, cocaine, and later LSD, mushrooms, ketamine... At the age of 21, I had a brief but quite strong (and very expansive) addiction story with cocaine freebase I managed to quit after a few months. Now I'm rather interested in psychedelic and dissociative drugs (street ones as much as research chemicals), and I tried a large amount of them. I'm also using some stimulants to help me focus when studying or working.

I don't know what else to say about me right now...
And sorry if my English isn't perfect, it's not my mother tongue.
 
Hey, welcome to Bluelight! Wow journalism, that sounds so interesting, it sounds like a wonderful way to experience the world. I wish you the best of luck persuing that. Congratulations on kicking your crack - cocaine addiction, that's very impressive, im glad you find psychedelics more interesting ( I do too). Feel free fo drop me or any other mods a PM if you have any quesrions.

Happy posting! -

Thank you for the welcome, and don't worry, I won't hesitate to ask any question I'd have about the forum, but now I'm still in an observation phase...;)
 
Awesome name schtroumpfette! Elle etait un de mes schroumpfes favoris!

Also: I hear that Belgium almost has a working coalition government -- is that true?
 
Yeah, we finally have a government here, after more than 500 days of crisis, negociations, crisis again, ... The new Prime minister is the former president of the socialist party, but if you want my opinion, he is more likely to do some neo-liberals reforms. It isn't esay to explain because the Belgian and the European politic systems are quite different from yours for what I know...
 
I've got the gist of it. It's all about coalitions there-- and it seems like much of the world is on a neo-lib (neo-con for you 'mericans) slant these days. Here's hoping the pendulum starts swinging the other way soon.
 
Welcome Smurfette! And condolences on the neoliberal devastation soon to be unleashed on Europe. And good luck with the journalism thing.
 
S&F: Here's hoping that the greens actually manage to carry the day in Germany. Other than that, it all looks hard-right across the board :(
