I’m a female who is going to be 19 on August 13th. I am a pre-veterinary biology major starting my sophomore year at Wells College. I like beekeeping and llama showing (some or most of this can be found in my profile). I have long blonde hair and green/blue/brown/gray eyes. I am about 5’5" but feel short because all of my friends are tall. I am just out of my first relationship, so technically I am single, but on the rebound. I love animals, and currently in my house are 3 fish, a cat, a painted turtle (all mine), 4 baby turkeys, and a dog (who thinks she is their mom). (I like to use parentheses) I like all music, even country, but am mostly into classic rock right now. My favorite color is cerulean.

I’m 33, 5’3", female, curves in the right places… and a few in the wrong ones, but I’m working on that.

Black hair with blonde streaks to disguise the grey streaks, blue eyes.

Two kids that are great, most of the time. Dog that…that… (sometimes I hate my husband). My frogs.

I smoke too much, I drink too much, I… well, I do a lot of things too much, but that’s not entirely bad. Is it?

I like reading, watching movies, driving with loud music blaring, that I should have outgrown by now…(alternative/punk).

Currently I am a wine consultant. I was also a bartender for 10 years, assistant sommelier, stripper, webmistress (yeah, naughty stuff), and managed a shoe store.

I’m a true crime and forensics addict, and my goal is to work towards becoming a forensics lab weenie.

I’m very openminded, bisexual, somewhat engaged in the “swinger” lifestyle (some people have a problem with this), have entirely too many hobbies, love thunderstorms, and I’m never offended by the truth.

I also spend way too much time at this place but I just can’t help it because it’s just too entertaining/enlightening! Welcome to the shared addiction we call SDMB.

I thought I knew you from somewhere.

At the age of twelve I received my first  
scribe. At the age of fifteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shawn scrotum. At the age of eighteen, I went off to evil medical school. From there…

Just wanted to add that Crunchy is a compulsive liar. He is a RIOT to hang out with. Once you break him out of his baseball addiction, anyway:)

I can’t imagine someone being more fun, so I’m glad he doesn’t drink!

Oh, you’re just being nice. I’m blushing. Or rather, I would blush if all the blood hadn’t just rushed to my um… nevermind.

BTW - I didn’t notice any curves in the wrong places.

18 year old male, black hair, brown eyes. About to start my second year of college in California. Majoring in computer science.

My favorite TV show in _The Simpsons_. I like science fiction and martial arts movies, no matter how cheesy they are.

Currently single.

Spend my Friday nights on the SDMB.

Unable to think of a witty remark to conclude this post with.

Ruffian, aka Laura IRL, here. My s/n is rooted in my love for horse racing (Ruffian was a brilliant racemare who died tragically in 1975) as well as its rough-n-tumble suggestions.

28, newlywed of 4 months, living in Southern California.

5’7", dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, fair skin. I’m not overweight, but I’m not where I would like to be. Then again, who is?

Some tidbits of random info, as copied from my web site:

I teach 5th grade to second language learners in a low income area. Insane as this may sound, I truly love what I do.

I’m an animal freak who tries to keep her Pet Habit in check. Currently, we have two cats (see below) and an aquarium. In the classroom, I have a 4’ albino corn snake, Henry, and a parakeet, Lucky (who randomly flew into my classroom during a lesson one day after apparently getting away from his previous owner).

I’m a horse, and horse racing, fanatic. One day I WILL own a horse, but until then, I’ll be restarting riding lessons in the summer.

Speaking of horse racing, I’m friends with the Headleys, who train last year’s champion sprinter Kona Gold. Whenever he runs, we both try to make it out to cheer him on. A web site in honor of this speedy gelding may be going up over the summer.

I hate pink. I hate frilly and froo froo. I hate princessy attitudes, and I hate prissiness. I’m all for being feminine, just not a wuss.

As a result of the point above, planning the wedding was a bit annoying as everyone seemed interested in what I wanted, but not Brian. “It’s YOUR day!” became the most annoying phrase uttered in my presence during this time period. Hello! It’s OUR day!

I don’t have any tattoos, but still fancy the idea. I just can’t stand the thought of a sagging tattoo.

My favorite flower is a gerbera daisy…they’re just so happy!

Second favorite flower is a phalanopsis orchid–although it’s not mutual. They scream, shrivel up, and rot as soon as I bring them home from the nursery.

I’m a wanna-be writer. Well, I am a writer, I’d just like to do it more frequently.

So…there yah go. Pictures, etc, so forth, and so on are at my site (link is in my signature).

18 year old college freshman (freshwoman?) from upstate New York, currently in upstate Mississippi. Fan of auto racing - NASCAR, CART, dirt track, anything I can find to watch except drag racing (I like corners). I love rodeos and will go to any one I can reach. I taught myself to play guitar and I’m a fan of many types of music, from 80s hair bands to 90s alternative to modern alt.country. I love the smells of fresh-cut grass, exhaust fumes, leather, and Aspen Discovery cologne (but not necessarily all at once). Oh, and I’m in love with **Gunslinger**. Musn’t forget that.

Superdude, one of these days we must chat. I haven’t been back in a while, but I love Louisville. I would love to know what’s changed. The last time I was there, I didn’t have the chance to visit my old haunts.

Anyway…As for the OP, I’m a 26 year old Ron Jeremy look alike, who likes lasagna, moonlit walks on the beach and midget ballet dancers.

Or…I’m really just a cook from Philly. Completely terrified to go back to school after an 8 year break. I have a wonderful girlfriend and two evil cats named Karma and Ringo. Life is pretty good for me right now. And if I bitched about it, who would listen?

No. Not okay to bump this thread. Nope, not at all. Replies that have essentially nothing to add are in bad form. Yep. No can do.

Well, heck, I’ll bump it up. Never mind that I’m at a Dopefest right now…

My name is Kyla, I just turned 23, I work in a bookstore, and I live in Northern California. I have a BA in anthropology from UC Santa Cruz (with a focus on religious studies). I like dogs better than cats, I read a lot, mostly history and popular science, and I am an amateur astronomer (I got a telescope for my birthday!). I spent my junior year of college ('98-'99) in Jerusalem, Israel. I am a huge Giants baseball fan. My car radio is permanently tuned the 80’s station.
