Exellent post Jabibas, especially since you included my name of course

Fljotsdale · 10-10-2001, 10:07 PM

K. I think I am the oldest here. I was born in 1937 and am now 64 (to save you working it out!) I grew up during WW2 and I know what it is like to have bombs dropping nearby, and hear enemy aircraft overhead while the local gun barrage fired at 'em. I lived on the edge of the city, not far from an airport, and there were fields behind our house that grew crops of either wheat or potatoes (depending on time of year and crop rotation). We used to pick mushrooms in them thar fields!
I was a little bespectacled fat girl and i used to get bullied a lot - but if I found kids tormenting animals or insects I would get so mad I just went for them in a screaming rage and they'd all run away, no matter how big they were!
I could read before I started school, and have never stopped. I prefered fairy tales and myths and legends and odd bits of information that no-one else knew.
I moved on to American pulp sci-fi magazines and books when I was nine, along with 'classics' of English literature. I left school at age 18, but didn't go to university till I was 56! Then I took English Language & Literature. I got a 2/2 which isn't bad considering I spent most of my study time playing computer games and always wrote essays at the last possible minute!
I was married for about 17 years to a violent and abusive man, and had three children. I was a Jehovah's Witness for 25 years, though I was brought up Catholic and became atheist at age 15. I am now atheist again, but have a very good knowledge of the bible!
I write, do editing (for free

), do cross-stitch, read, play rpg's, listen to radio, act, am treasurer to the theatre company even though rubbish at arithmetic, enjoy debating - but only about things I know about (if I don't know about it I tend to make sweeping generalisations expressing ill-thought out opinions!

)
I live on my own (Hurrah!) except for my ill-natured cat Ozymandias (Ozzi). I am very lazy. I am 5'1, fat, bespectacled, have dark brown independent hair, now greying, and since my 40's my front top teeth started to migrate forwards, so that they are now doing their utmost to make me look like a rabbit!

Others:

Diogenes needs big ((((HUGS)))). He is going on holiday soon, and I think he needs it.

Yorick is probably the most handsome man I have seen (Stealthy's site - wow!) but he is even more argumentative than I am!

Zbyszek is Polish and VERY helpful.

Kaz and Lioness seem to like the same authors I do.
Jabidas is my favourite candidate for 'Maniac of the Year'

Absynthe is funny and, by his own admission, corrupt!

There! Will that do, Cloudy? I have missed out LOTS of people I'd like to include but I've already gone over the limit of 2!

Hi y'all!

Long time "Lurker" first time "poster".

I was originally drawn to IW to get help with some of the technical problems I was having on BGII and slowly got entranced by the "world" of the general conversations forum...

A little bit about myself: I'm 30 years old, and have lived in Russia for the last 4 years. Came over here on a job transfer and decided to stay for longer than the original 6 months I had planned. Originally I hail from Upstate New York, but lived in Mexico, Tennessee, and New York City and went to school in Philadelpia.

I love PnP RPGs, reading books (especially sci-fi) and Ive always been fascinated by music of all genres.

Since you can only do it once per message board, I'd like to give a special "first post" dedication to Cloudy who always seems to bring out the best in everyone on this board and makes all feel welcome to a dynamic and (contrary to rumors of the opposite effect) thriving community.

It was Dry Blackthorn that Yorick was drinking. We are a bit more refined in Enfield - the lumps are removed by straining it through a pair of the landlord's old socks.

That's not scrumpy!!! Good grief!

It is a bit better than Strongbow though.
