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.
