BUMP! Any newbies want to share? :D
I'm not exactly a newbie but in my first half year I only checked the threads on the cat board.
I read all the time, even in the bathroom with Filou on my shoulder and brushing my teeth (you will notice there is still one hand for a book).
Among my favourites are (from serious to not-too serious) Thomas Mann, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, Elizabeth George, Tad Williams.
I like to travel.
Have been to US/Canada West Coast, Mexico, France, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Morocco.
Would like to see all the other.
I go to dance classes (Jazz and Hiphop) twice a week and like to hike an to treck in the Alps in summertime. Unfortunately I have not as much time as I'd like for kayaking.
Barbara,
I meet Sara Paretsky. She and I were involved in the same group helping disadvantaged women.
I have always admired her personally as well as her books!
Neat lady....
(I also think she has a terrific name ;) )
I love boating/tubing, fishing, "another outdoor hobby, which I won't mention, because I will get bashed again-starts with H, photography, volunteering at Camp Anokijig (Ano-Key-Gee), horseback riding-Western and bareback, teaching hunters safety, watching t.v., playing with my neighbors dogs for 6 hours straight, Pet Talk, sleeping, drawing & painting, poetry (when I am inspired to write it), reading, cleaning other peoples houses (NOT MINE!), hiking, studying wildlife and animals, watching Lord of the Rings as much as possible, traveling, I could go on and on....but I'll stop for now.
I would love to travel to Australia/New Zeland, Ireland, Scotland, and Africa.
Hey how'd I miss this?? Oh well I'm not a newbie but I'll say it anyway ...
Ok my hobbies... Sleeping(my fave), going online, Pet Talk(well yeah that's why I'm here lol), eating(not to joke ... I looove food!), basketball, hanging out with my friends, talking(non-stop for that matter), school(well only for social studies and art), TV, video games, writing stories...etc...
My favorite animals (I'm not ashamed to put them; people say I'm depressing because of my favorite animals lol): wolf, weasel, chicken, snake, & owl, oh yeah and hawk too.
My favorite movies are Titanic(yes after all those years it's been out I still love it), Darkness Falls(Anyone see that? That was the BEST!), The Ring(of course), The Fall of the House of Ushers(it was better than the story), Freddy Kruger(sp?) series, Child's Play series(loved the 1st one when the guy first gets in the dolls body), Scream series, Halloween series, The Exorcist, any other horror movies I did not mention (I LIVE on horror!)
Yep ... that's me! :D
What a really cool thread! Thanks for bumping it up, Randi! I'm kind of a boring person, but am so happy in my boring life. :rolleyes:
I'm 26...I grew up on LonG Island....I have been married for 6 years now...Mark is my very best friend ever! I really enjoy cooking & baking...I subscribe to "Taste of Home" and love to try new recipes. My friends call me a "neatfreak" because I like to clean my house everyday. :p I work for a small company...we sell and service office equipment (copiers, fax machines etc.) And the best for last, I'm a Christian...my faith means more to me than anything in this world.
As for hobbies, I really enjoy scrapbooking (I have 2 albums done now)...crocheting (mostly blankets)...I love surfing the web...and blabbing on pettalk.
And that's me in 5 minute nutshell...pretty boring, huh....:o:D
I LOVE Tad Williams! Have you read the Otherland Series? My copy is currently on loan to my sister ...Quote:

oops, a little late for this one.
well, there are LOTS of other things but just some of the things i love best are the computer, internet (ahh, what an invention! ;)), photography, music and going out with my friends. ai also love watching anything that makes me laugh or involves animals ;)
places i'd like to visit would be australia (i love the accent) and italy. :)
Golf although I'm not very good at it, hence my handle Par None.
Backcountry Backpacking/Hiking. Love being out in nature
and it's quite a feeling being able to survive out in the wilderness
with just the stuff you can carry in on your back.
Total obsession with the TV show Xena. In fact that's how I
ended up on the internet. I was looking for info about the
show and stumbled on the wonderful world of message
boards. I made quite a few friends that I still keep in touch with
and discovered my creative side.
Making Music videos
Writing--the bulk of which is either Xena or Dog related.
Reading--last really good read was The Gaea Trilogy by
John Varley
I'm very sports oriented. I use to play a lot of Softball, Flag
Football, Tennis, Basketball and Volleyball. I've kind of drifted
away from all that over the last few years, but really miss the
competition. So I've a plan of getting back into doing something
competitive by doing dog agility with Oz.
Cooking--my speciality being desserts. I make a killer
turtle cheesecake.
I've been to my dream places of Australia and New Zealand, so
next on my list would be Alaska.
Par...
Ooo I love Fushigi Yugi, Trigun and Ranma 1/2!! And I also love Tenchi Muyo and InuYasha.Quote:
