Hi all, glad to be here. I was just thinking about introducing myself here, and it occurred to me the paradox of newbie-dom: If one does as is recommended, and lurks for a while before posting to the board-- which I have done-- one ends up knowing a good bit about the regulars here, while y’all know virtually nothing about me. For example, I know far more about Satan’s ass than anyone probably ever should.
So, in the interest of fairness, I feel I should divulge a bit about myself (revelations about my ass, however, will have to wait until I know you all a little better). I’m a 35-year-old woman/girl/lady/female/gal, full time college student at a women’s college, majoring in geology. I have an affinity for rocks of all sorts; I’m such a geo-geek, I even examine rocks at highway rest areas. My username comes from the term we geo-majors at my school call ourselves; I thought geobabe was a pretty cool name the first time I heard it. I was in the Navy for 7-1/2 years, and have many stories about wild drunken sexual escapades which I shall share when the time becomes right.
I’m very opinionated, so the attraction to this community should be pretty obvious. I’m extremely anal about spelling and grammar, another quality which should make me fit in very well here. I love maps and reference materials of all kinds. Some of my favorite words are (in no particular order): smarmy, phlegmatic, lugubrious, porphyritic, smectite, orogeny.
That’s OK, she’ll probably get more actual conversation over here than in MPSIMS. They’re kind of busy over there talking about the Maryland quarter and “who has stinky feet?”
John McPhee’s books on geology are all I know about geology, but I adore them.
Oops, sorry, this is the Pit.
You better fuckin’ agree with me that John McPhee is the Man, or else I’m gonna come over there and rip you a new asshole, see if I don’t…
Welcome to the SDMB. Thanks for taking the time to lurk a little first.
I mean, fuck, yeah, I wish more asshole newbies were like you and knew their fuckin’ asses from a hole in the ground.

Gee it’s been more than an hour and none of the usual gutter bunch has shown up to make the obvious lame comment about getting his rocks off with the new geologist? Well I’m certainly not going to do it.
This sounds like a good start for the newbie/lurker. The interest in rocks etc, opens up all avenues of responses. I am sitting here racking my brain trying to think of a sly, rock related double entendre or two to post. I can’t think of anything. Drawing a total blank.
I feel like Superman surrounded by kryptonite. I have some decent powers, but nothing’s coming out. Someone, help me!
Thus endeth the hijack.
Coming soon to a sig line near you!

OK, whew, over in MPSIMS where I meant to be in the first place–I clicked on the submit button and the screen said “now returning you to the BBQ Pit.” D’oh!!!
