Hello, im a little later than everyone else, but i think this is a good forum so im doing it anyway. My names Laci, im 21 and i am the klutziest person in the world. I am a store manager and suprisingly enough i love my job. On the side, i am a writer....i have four books written, just actually have to take the huge step and show them to someone, which even thinking about scares me to death. I am studying Philosopy and Cryptozoology because i couldnt think of anything else to do. For those that don't know what Cryptozoology is, it is the study of animals that have not been proven to exist yet. I know Latin, & Italian, and am looking into learning Gaelic. I can play the piano, but im kinda rusty (as in i suck). I love old movies- Bette Davis, Clark Gable, and Gene Kelly are just a few specifically. My music meter goes from Sinatra to Airborne Toxic Event. The Beatles are my fav. I have three chiweenkie (chiuahua(?)/weenie/yorkie) puppies that are named after the rat pack: Frankie, Deano, and Sammy. My biggest fear is rabbits though i have no idea why, they just freak me out. I started the 1001 books you should read before you die list and am only in the 30's. I truely believe coffee is my saviour. No matter how its served, im drinking it. Mr. Darcy is my favorite character, mostly because he's taciturn and thats apparently what i look for in books. I hate whiny people and stupid people. When i say stupid people i dont mean, if you disagree your stupid i mean my sister in law that asks "Why are Avatars blue?" stupid. :evil: thats all for now.....

lol. Sadly i not only fall several times a day, but i could trip over painted lines. In school i was even voted "most accident prone."

And funny thing, just since we're talking about it: yesterday i tripped through swinging doors which not only broke my coworkers nose, but sprained my ankle. :oops: ...obviously this isnt the first time i've broken something on other people either.

Hi guys, I'm Stephen. :) I've been a reader all my life and adore books, libraries, and everything associated with them. As a child I read both fiction and nonfiction, although during my teen years (after I received my first computer and started losing time on the Internet :lol:) I only read the occasional work of fiction, like John Grisham novels or Trek lit. In 2006 I decided to start improving my knowledge of science and so forth, so I started reading nonfiction and so forth on a regular basis. Four years later I'm still going strong with a weekly regimen of fiction, science, history, philosophy, poetry, and the like. (I started keeping track of my reading on blogspot, too, which is an enjoyable hobby by itself.)


When I'm not reading, I'm watching Star Trek, taking photographs of nature and architecture, or playing PC games like The Sims 2 and Civilization III.

We had an English project where someone picked a word that best describes us and a chick that didn't even know me just saw me around at school picked accident-prone.

Haha, you're awesome!

Hi guys. My name is Bobbi, I'm an avid reader. 51 y/o, still married but spouse has been living with another woman for going on two years now. I don't mind, as long as I get to keep the insurance. :) I work at home, online and have been doing so for over a year now.

My favorite genre is fantasy, favorite author can't be done. Too many to list.

Just to prove im not leaving anyone out- "Hello Stephen (im a Sim nerd too :oops:) and Bobbi, sorry i ignored you :("

And also because i wanted to finish my forum (because in my head it's not long enough :) )
I am extremely headstrong, though i always feel bad about it later. I am 5'7 and wear extremely tall shoes. I will laugh at myself before i ever laugh at another human being. I believe that MODESTY is the best policy, im no prude, i mean im pretty perverted at times, but when theres something said i feel uncomfortable with, you'll know. Im pretty quiet unless im behind a keyboard then i cant shut up (obviously). Google is the best thing since Pop-tarts and i use it consistantly for stupidness. My hair color changes almost monthly and its been everything from bubble gum pink to black. Yes i am a natural blonde. I am a thousand percent against marriage, even though im a hopeless romantic. Not a fan of hunting or hurting animals in any way which makes me very popular (not) with the rednecks in Missouri, so lucky me and i think quirky is the best word ever. i think thats it now.... :shock:

^Well you do love to talk about yourself :mrgreen: ^

I guess i can add more to mine?
My names still October, but i have more nicknames than i have toes so call me what you'd like. I'm the third child of six = three brothers and two sisters. All of us, except for our oldest brother, live with my older sister. Books are rather new to my life but i have come to cherish them. Some of you may have noticed already, but Laci is the one that got me on here and i hope i'm not intruding. She's actually the one that got me into reading as well. So far Ayn Rand is my favorite, but i am picking up different styles of books. I think that's all, really. Any questions just ask

Geez Tobie way to blame me. Now everyone's going to know it's my fault once you scare them away. :wink:
You SO talk about yourself more than me. I only do it here. HA!
