Well, why the hell not. I am VinRyk, a 33 year old male specimen from the Netherlands. I also work in IT and am also single. (I wonder if there is a connection) I have been lurking for years and subscribed a few years ago. ---

That should read "a few **months**" ago. :smack: ---

I never introduced myself, just jumped straight in. So hello everyone! I’m Gemma. I’m a 19 year old journalism student. I live in Lincoln most of the time, my boyfriend lives in Manchester. (Which of course, sucks.) ---

Ok, this is my official introduction after lurking for several months I decided to subscribe and then I just jumped right in. I am a 36 year old female with two children, son 16 and daughter 14. I have lots and lots of animals. I think the last count was 16. Well thats it, nothing more to see here. Carry on… ---

Howdy! I lurked for about a year before putting out my $4.95 to subscribe. I found my way here from another board I used to belong to, where someone referenced **Scylla’s** infamous blimp thread. I was immediately overwhelmed and impressed with the obvious superior intellect and wit of the Straight Dope members, and I’ve been hooked ever since 🙂 I’m 29, married with two kids, and I’m a student advisor at a University here in the live music capitol (or is it capital, I can never remember) of the world, Austin, Texas. ---

> [@Emony Dax](#): > > …here in the live music capitol (or is it capital, I can never remember) of the world, Austin, Texas. Capital. Capitol refers to the building (use the “o” as the mnemonic – think “shape of the dome”). And since I’ve moved to the other side of the vat of calamari, I’m not going to introduce myself. ---

I’ve been here for a year or so but haven’t introduced myself either. My name is \*\*Stainz \*\* ('cos I very often manage to spill something on myself), I’m a 34 year old chick in British Columbia. Our household consists of myself (of course), my boyfriend **McDeath\_the\_Mad** , and our two pets, Nomar (cat) and Diamond (dog). I love the Straight Dope! ---

I started lurking on the AOL boards, but I’ve never really introduced myself - I’m 24, an underemployed librarian, and wicked cool. Unfortunately, my greatness is underappreciated by the boards at large. 😉 No need for the goat, really. ---

I don’t think I ever introduced myself. I am female ( derr). I work for the State of California. I am 26 and single. I have 2 dogs, a cat, and as of yesterday, two doves. I have nothing interesting to say about myself today. Carry on…nothing to see here! ---

I might as well introduce myself even though I’ve been here for a while… I’m Sunspace, I live in Toronto, I’m 41, single, no pets, and I write computer manuals for a living. But I’m really an artist\*. And I have drawings of tentacles in my sketchbooks going back to about 1981. Not that that necessarily means anything… [sub]\*for sufficiently vague definitions of ‘artist’, i. e. ‘cartoonist’.[/sub] ---

> [@AngelicGemma](#): > > I live in Lincoln most of the time, **my boyfriend lives in Manchester. (Which of course, sucks.)** Just to clarify: is it the city that sucks, the fact your boyfriend lives there, or both? I’ve never lived in a Lincoln, or any other car… oops, you meant Lincoln, as in the English city (if you lived in the capital of Nebraska, you’d have even more of a long-distance relationship than you do now). I occupy an apartment in a three-unit building (formerly a single-family house) in scenic Tippecanoe County. I’m 45, and in a committed relationship, though I’ll be living alone for another few years until my sweetie’s kids have all graduated from high school and moved out of her home. For my first SDMB post, I just jumped in by contributing to a **General Questions** thread, so consider this my belated self-introduction. ---
