Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Hey there, stranger.
Katherine:
Hello there. My name is Katherine. I am 30 years old and I live in Upstate New York with cats and my ex. I am trying to move to a city three hours away to take over the main decision making responsibilities for my father, who has Alzheimer's Disease and is (finally) in the dementia unit of an Assisted Living facility, but now is a really bad time to be looking for a new job so I have been living in limbo for about a year now. I work as an accounting clerk for a non-profit agency that provides services to the mentally retarded. It is an okay job, but I am really bored out of my skull here. I went to school for Environmental Management upon graduating high school, but quickly realized that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in a laboratory. After drifting about for a while, I went back to school for Accounting. I graduated in May of 08. My ultimate goal is to become a CPA and work in auditing (as in financial statements for companies, not people's taxes).
I spend a lot of my free time listening to music, and try to go to as many concerts as possible. I also like to read a lot and watch horror movies and I would like to get back into drawing but haven't really had the time to sit and really work on it due to all the driving I have had to do to take care of stuff for my Dad. I would like to travel more but can't really afford it currently, so I tend to take road trips to Boston or NYC every so often.
I have been around here for a little over a year but I lurk mostly as is evidenced by my low post count. Some of the posters here can be pretty mean and I'm far too sensitive for my own good, so I usually choose to not enter into conversations at all rather than risk dealing with comments from someone whose opinion really shouldn't matter to me. I am incredibly sarcastic, with a dry sense of humor, but it is hard to convey sarcasm on an internet message board so when I do post, I generally keep it light and pretty boring.

You're doing good, you guys! I've read every post so far. You're all doing great. Except for those dicks who have actually taken the time to post about how they're not going to take the time to read anybody elses introduction. Those people are the reason there is darkness in the world.
Reed:
Hello, my name is Reed. I'm a 24 year old grad student in microbiology at the University of Connecticut. I'm a fairly introverted person when in new company, so I do more lurking on the boards than posting. I joined less than a year ago, started posting, but then became too busy because I had far too much work to do. Just like a lot of people who have already posted I love to read, but don't do it nearly enough (hurr hurr Reed loves to read). I consider these forums a savoir of sorts in terms of my musical taste. Before I came here I was listening to crap crap and more crap, but reading through the music forums has definitely allowed me to improve my selection. I like to cook, but I only have one pot, one pan, and limited other kitchenware, so I usually stick with fairly basic stuff. I also watch far too much TV, and enjoy going to the movies enough that I have been known to see absolute shit just because it's the only thing I haven't seen yet.
Lila:
um hi
I'm Rachel (but I hate my name). I'm a teenager living in a wealthy suburb in the north-eastern US. I'm semi-short (around five three), I have shortish blondeishbrownish curly hair, I'm freckled and bespectacled. Despite the fact that I do an assload of stuff (three honors courses, hebrew school, two dance classes, tech for school plays, skiing many weekends and shul every single one I'm not skiing), I'm desparately bored with my life. I really want to grow up, get out of high school, and start taking care of myself. Next year, I'm going to (hopefully) to on an awesome program in Israel, TRY (tichon ramah b'yrushalayim... something along the lines of "ramah school in jerusalem"). I'm pretty bad in social situations, and no matter how hard I try I can't get a boyfriend. I have a perfectly good number of normal friends though, so I'm (semi) content.
I'm a huge fan of music... I couldn't live without the Mountain Goats. I went through a huge musical phase and a huge a capella phase (I still love a capella.... musicals sometimes). I mostly like mellow rock, some indie, and a small amount of metal. I'm looking for more (metal), so if you have any that you like that doesn't involve a lot of roaring (I don't like that... I like singers, not yellers), let me know please.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Hi guys!
My name's Danny, i'm a 22 year old "student" living in the BEAUTIFUL northwest Washington State. i say i'm a student but that's not really true, i haven't taken a class in over a year. i just stay enrolled at a local community college for insurance purposes (shhh).
i spend my days running the office of a gymnastics center (yeah, i'm hella important), and i spend most of my free time playing video games, reading, skateboarding, shooting cans and other such riff-raff, and more recently, throwing axes. i smoke cigarettes and pot, but am planning to give up the former. i really love hallucinating. i really hate insomnia (unless it makes me hallucinate).
i guess it's also worth mentioning that i'm a fairly accomplished acrobat and tumbler since i pretty much grew up in a gymnastics center and have been around it for my entire life.
i love sunsets, rainbows, puppies, unicorns, and (most importantly) kittens. i am madly in love with music in almost any format, but sadly am pretty shitty at actually playing music. i do try to play drums but it's only fun to play drums by yourself for so long before you get kind of over it.
well, i think that's me in a nutshell.
Pleased to meet you.
