Hi all! I’ve been reading the SDMB for about 8 months now, and I have to say, some of you people intimidate the hell out of me, but I’m a glutton for punishment, sooo…
My name is Theresa, I’m 38 and the mother of a 7 year old boy-Joshua, and a 14 year old girl-Shannara. Ive been married and divorced twice (you’d think I’d learn, but nooo…). I’m currently living with my Significantly Younger Lover (Hereafter known as Richard, though occassionally referred to as my fiancee when I don’t feel like explaining). Despite all that, I’m quite happily bisexual. I’m currently working on my Master’s Degree in, irony of ironies, Marriage and Family Therapy and my certification for Sexual Therapy from AASECT. My other interest include reading, RPGs, taunting my cat, ancient history-particularly Egypt and the Etruscans, painting, music, horseback riding, and studiously avoiding housework.
Okay, I’ll just go over here, taunting the cat.
:: sigh :: after I throw myself on the mercy of the assembly for posting this in the Newbie Rites of Initiation thread by mistake. I really need to put down the pipe.
My name is Hans, I live in Amsterdam(the netherlands) and I work for an advertising agency.
In my spare time I like to sail, read up on ancient history(previous poster saluted), play my guitar, play Rogue Spear online and most of all have fun with my girlfriend, our cat and my friends and family.
Hello Crunchy Frog! (another one of my fav names here, and NO, I’m NOT kissing up)
Age: 21 (almost 22)
Sex: Female
I was born in Los Angeles, and lived there 8 1/2 years. Then we moved (drove cross country) to Washington, DC (actually, to a small town between DC and Baltimore). Stayed there one year, just enough for me to discover wonderful things like mud and snow, and then moved to Detroit, for more of the same. Tried to find a house for one year, but failed, so we moved back to DC (this time, Bethesda, MD). All these moves were related to my dad’s job, working for the VA. Stayed in Bethesda for another 6-7 years until I came to NYC for college. Am still in NYC, and love it to pieces.
Background: Half French, Half American (mom’s French).
Description: 5’7" originally blonde, now burgundy… Grey eyes.
Pets: four cats (described briefly in the cat thread)
Significant Other: Maeglin, who most certainly is NOT female (been together for 4+ years)
Hobbies: I play piano, I love dancing (even by myself, if need be), I sing (in between choirs right now), I love reading (some favs include George RR Martin, CS Friedman, and the Bronte sisters (how girly :))) LANGUAGES!!! I have taken German, Italian, and Russian (dabbled in Icelandic as well). I am bilingual in French (see background). I love languages, and hope to keep up the ones I started (especially Russian), and to learn new ones, like Japanese and Hungarian.
New hobbies I’m getting involved with: politics politics politics (or, How to not get depressed about things in this country). Maeglin is a great help in this area! And of course, trying to fight ignorance in my own little way.
I could go on, but that’s probably more than enough… <whew>

And I’m currently engaged again after a distastrous turn with a bitch named, oh what shall I call her? How about Jennifer, since that’s her name. Her full name is Jennifer the God-Awful Bitch of the Midwest May She Rot in Hell.
So you like younger men . . . I’m 27, too old ofr ya? BTW, my fiance is bisexual also. Maybe the three of us . . .
::a shoe flies across the room and smacks Crunchy Frog in the head::
Ha ha! You were only wearing slippers this time!
::the flying toaster which follwed the slippers was not so soft and bouncy, however::
Hey, um, {b]Arden_Ranger**, nevermind about that. Could you get me some ice?
Note the part I part in italics. She likes to tease her pussy. ::giggle giggle::

And she’s teasing her pussy right now! ::giggle giggle snort:: Boomfly:
Yes, because people like you keep posting to it.
Hey, thanks for clearing up where Amsterdam is. At first, I thought you were referring to the Amsterdam in New Guinea. And I’ve always wanted to meet someone in the advertising business just to ask: Do you ever get that not-so-fresh feeling? (I realize this may lose it’s effect on someone not from the states, but what the hell, it’s all I got). Pucette:
And why the hell not? Am I below your status in life? I’m BENEATH you, is that what you’re saying?! Not a good way to start off, lass.
Two of my favorite qualities in a woman.
Dear God! I see somebody likes to talk about herself. Ask for a couple short sentences and I get the travels of Jack Kerouac.
I have your cure for not getting depressed about this country. Stop giving a shit. If you don’t care, you don’t get depressed.

Oh really? You sure you could go on? What’s left to tell, how you didn’t get a pony for Christmas when you were 3 and what you had for breakfast this morning?
After 8 months, I still haven’t learned to freakin’ PREVIEW!
Here’s how the post should have looked:

Oh, a Welcome Wagon, how nice! Well, I’ll take a stab at making myself known and loved.
I’m a programmer at a very boring software company, so I eat lunch alone at my desk most days. That’s how I came across you guys. I used to spend my lunch surfing around the net, reading the Straight Dope and eventually the message board. I love the Pit, but I think I’d be treading in quicksand if I ventured there too soon. And Weird Earl’s site links are the best!
I’m 31 - your basic boring white girl. I was born in New Hampshire and live in a suburb of Boston.
My main interests are in movies and music (observing, not creating). I love MST3K more than most things. Some of my favorite movies (at the moment) are Mommie Dearest, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Apocalypse Now, Clockwork Orange, anything by Tim Burton (ok, not Batman) or Jim Jarmusch, and for some inexplicable reason, Jaws. I just can’t get enough of that movie. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Tom Waits, Harry Connick Jr., Tori Amos, Nick Cave, and Tracy Bonham.
Last night a friend told me that it was ok that I was a couch potato because I was a student of pop culture. That made me feel better for refusing to go out on New Year’s Eve. Ever.
Ummmm, what else? I have a boyfriend who was just sentenced to the electric chair . . . no, wait . . . he’s moving in with me next week, but in his eyes, the two are virtually indistinguishable. I have a little black cat named Lela, 5 gerbils (please refrain from any “stuffing” or “Richard Gere” jokes if at all possible, I’ve heard them ALL), and two fish. I like to crochet and cook, and after spending a bunch of money on a new and lightning fast computer, it turns out that all I really want to do with it is play 100 different versions of Solitaire.
Well, that’s about it. Pretty forgetable all in all, but here I am.
Actually, Crunchy Frog, 27 is a perfect age, but what I want to know is just what are your plans for this ice I have right here?
Jennifer’s last name wouldn’t happen to start with a B does it? I would hate to think there were two of them who answer to “God-Awful Bitch of the Midwest May She Rot in Hell”!
You a Red Sox fan? If so, we can be buddies, chatting baseball and stuff. And don’t feel bad. I hear Red Sox fans and Cubs fans are forming a support group.
Jim who?
And what’s wrong with Jaws? That’s a great movie! Suspenseful, scary, well-developed 3-dimensional characters, well-written, well-directed. You’re damn skippy you better like Jaws!
I beg to differ with some of your other favorite films, showing a distinct lack of taste. As everyone knows, the greatest films ever made are:
Revenge of the Nerds 3, Porky’s Revenge, Rocky 3, 4, and 5, and damn near anything starring Jim Varney as that Ernest guy.
And this is why you think you’re boring. Pep up your music. It’s hard to be boring while banging your head.
Oooh . . . there’s a new thought. I haven’t daydreamed about torturing the ex with electricity yet. Thanks for the idea.
We won’t do the jokes here, since people around here realize that’s just an urban legend. But are you familiar with the act of felching?
::ducks as various Dopers throw things at him::
Well, the first thing we need to do is build up your self-confidence. I want you to look at yourself in the mirror and repeat after me:
I am good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it I like me. I also like Crunchy Frog and will give him head whenever he wants it.
So just do that every day till you start to believe it, then give me a call.
Arden_Ranger:
I can’t answer that question without running the risk of having the thread closed for posting pornagraphy.
Nope, start’s with an M. Does this mean there’s two of them? ::shudder::
Pucette:
Yes, and you said you weren’t kissing up to me. To which I asked why not, am I beneath you, yada yada yada. Does that slear things up or do I need to type slower for you?
Boy I really did start out on the wrong foot didn’t I. Well, at the expense of digging myself a larger grave, let me clarify that I was indeed complimenting you on your name, which I had predicted would get me called a kiss-ass. I was being sarcastic, and obviously picked the wrong day to do so.
Naw, I’m not much into sports, but I do think Nomar is a cutie. Such thighs!
Nuthin’! I can’t get enough of it. I love when Quint is talking about his ship sinking and the sharks attacking. Good stuff.
I’ve tried, but when I bang my head, my glasses fall off.
Yep!
OK, I think that’ll probably do the trick. You just sit there by the phone and I’ll let you know! Thanks for the generous offer, you’re a real humanitarian.
Not really. I was just playing with you, as I have with every newbie who’s posted here. I guess I’ll just have to start every page in this thread with that tongue-in-cheeck disclaimer I made on Page 1.
No hard feelings here.
Who is this Cat and I person and of all the people who posted here why did they copy me? It’s not like what I said was even very interesting! If I were to plagiarize I would pick on someone who could make me laugh, like you, dear Crunchy. They didn’t even fix my typo while they were at it!
Ah Atlanta, that’s the home of the Braves. I hate the Braves. Tell me you’re not a Braves fan. Not much I can do with your posts, didn’t give any details I can latch onto and poke fun at. So what’s this about sex and women and men? Have I mentioned I have a bisexual fiance?
Honey, put down that shoe, I’m only making conversation here.
[sub]Psst, Crash! Email me, Maybe we can . . . Oh the fiance’s coming back, we’ll talk later.[/sub]
