Hi, I’ve been around the board for awhile, I’ve gotten to know some great people here on the SDMB. Although I see user names sometimes that I don’t recognize.
So, introduce yourself. Tell me about who you are, what you do for a living, for fun, or whatever you feel like talking about.
Ok
I’ll go first.
Male, 20 (21 in Oct.), dark hair, brown eyes, tanned, 5’11", 175lb.
I like to party, maybe to much.
I work at a hotel, I’m the night auditor. Which means I have to of coarse do the books at the end of the night. I also check people into the hotel, usually couples who have met at a nearby bar and need a place to hookup for a night.
I graduated H.S. in 1999, and just finished my first college semester (summer term), in which I decided I didn’t want to do for the next 4 or 5 years so, I quit.
My license is suspended until I pay five hundred bucks, which I don’t have right now.
I’m kinda opinionated about some things, so don’t be offended if I say something in the future that pisses you off. (sorry)
I really am a blast to hang out with.
My friends tell me that I’m like the most spontaneous person they know. I like to live life one day at a time and always make the best of everyday.
I like all kinds of music, except some of the “twangy” country music, yuck.
I will be working with my fathers land brokerage company sometime in the future, yeah it’s a free ride but I’m not going to turn it down. I’ll be leasing properties for oil, gas and coal companies, have to settle owners disputes with the other companies and try to keep it out of the courts.
My dad is also an ordaned minister!! It was kinda hard growing up because he had this picture of who he wanted me to become, and I decided to take a more rebelious approach on life when I was young.
And as most of the other dopers know, I’m a big flirt, so ladies watch out.
I live in West Virginia and cannot wait to get out of this inbred state. There are to many people with shotgun rakes in the back window of there 1975 ford pickups. No not really, I just like city life.
My father moved us all over the country when I was younger. I’ve moved like 14 times now.
Oh, yeah I have really bad spelling too, sorry.
alright your turn…
Hmmmm…from a number of subtle hints in your last post it seems you are looking for chicks. Sorry to disappoint you, I’m a guy 
Anyway, just wanted to say, your spelling looks ok to me, although you did say “coarse” when you meant “course”, though that’s not technically a spelling error.
Also, I wanted to ask how you got that job. I ask because, when I was in college I applied for a bunch of night auditor positions, and never could get one. Did you know someone?
::Tries to figure out which category she fits into, the “great people” he’s met or the “people he like to flirt with”::
Well, duh.
So Nicklz, how YOU doing?
Nicklz
I’m a controller for a Chicago hotel. You want city life? I got a night audit job for ya! (Keep it in mind for when you decide to leave that town your in!)
Boy, hoteliers all around!
And here I was once the Circulation Manager for LODGING Magazine.
Anyone read it?
Every month. My favorite feature is Fisher’s Law. I have some of my favorites copied for reference.
(Yep, I’m a nerd alright!)
Who am I?
I am he that dares drink of life who knows that to drink is to die, yet who dares drink on am I!
You LIKE Fishers Law? That’s just strange. We hated it.
He forced us to run that every month. We’d protest, he’d lower the boom on us. We’d get letters every month asking why we ran them.
Sad to say, though: there will be no more Fishers Law columns. He’s left as CEO and has been replaced by Joe MacInerney (I’m not sure of the spelling there, we always just called him Joe Mac). He’s a really good guy.
I’m glad you like the magazine. If you look on the masthead from 97-98 you can see my name.

I find it very ironic that he’s that way given the fact that most of the columns I saved were on being a good leader, dealing with people or rallying the troops.
Oh well. He’s gone so my days of clipping his column are over.
Thanks for the insight!
I am in my early 30s, working in marketing for a technical software company in east central Illinois.

but it may induce rage in people who dislike really inane vanity web projects.
I am married with no kids or plans for any.
I like pie.
What the hey…
Male, 34, married, no kids or pets but proud owner of facial hair.
I currently hold down a desk job in a quasi-governmental organization in London while my spouse of eleven years completes her Ph.D. degree. In about a month, I will be starting an MA program in Arts Administration, but continue to work half-time. The spouse will be working as of then as well (or else).
In my copious free time, I sing in a semi-professional chorus (specializing in 20th-century works), read over the spouse’s latest writing segments, and try to find time to go to the gym.
I’m a quiet, gentle soul with a wicked sense of humor. I don’t smoke, don’t flirt, and imbibe rarely. My head is filled with useless trivia. I have been known to attract cats and small children.
I have no connection with, nor have I ever worked in, the hotel business.
I, too, like pie.
Hi, Nicklz!
Hmmm…I have to think about this for a bit.
I am a 20 year old female(and like Nicklz, will be 21 in October. Yay!) who needs to get a life (and a job, but I am working on that one!). I also don’t drive. WTH am I doing to myself, you ask? I don’t know, but I do have my permit. Just got it reinstated last Saturday. The problem is I just had another seizure on Sunday. In bed, thank God. Oh, and I have my own car. Isn’t that just peachy?
I am a Junior at Arizona State University. I have no idea what my major will be, but my first major was Anthropology. Yuck, yuck, yuck! I could just not understand anything. I guess I am just dumb. :rolleyes:
I have a LiveJournal, the link to which you can find in my profile. I love LJ. I can just vent and stuff and not worry about it. Of course, I do have to be careful who I tell about it, but that’s okay.
I used to be really shy and didn’t think that I could ever be even a smidge outgoing, but being a part of this board has helped. And I don’t have the greatest self-esteem, so knowing that others (besides my parents and friends) think I am worthwhile helps me feel better about myself.
I am not in a romantic relationship nor have I ever been.
Oh, well. It will be here when it should be.
I love the band Placebo. I don’t know why, so don’t ask me. They are one of my rebellious bands, considering the fact that I used to listen to Loreena McKennitt, Mozart, and 80’s pop.
Any other questions? I just know that I have forgotten something…
Oh, yeah. I love Disneyland (hence my screen name). Not an annual passholder, though.
Can you tell I just love writing paragraphs?:rolleyes:
Who am I?? Your worst nightmare!!!
Well, somebody had to say it.
Who are you? Uh oh…we have a Vorlon Inquisitor among us, I see…I’m outta here!
The details of my life are quite inconsequential…very well, where to begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

“Who am I?” I didn’t tell Pete Townshend, so I’ll be damned if I’ll tell you.
Hey, dlgirl, how YOU doin’?
Okay…I’m 28, single, stand-up comic living in Kentucky. No kids. I have a cat. Beru. I was kicked out of college for accidentally setting a lizard in fire.
