Time for a new delurking/introduction thread. If you are new or just don't post much come in and say hi to the bunnies.
Hi, I'm sperose, and just today, I've discovered that my boss falls solidly into the awesome category, people who rear-end you suck major balls, and that my job is fucking fantastic. (The job thing I've known for a while, but it's always nice to have it reaffirmed.)
Hello, I'm ibmcginty. In maybe 6th grade, we all had to go around and introduce ourselves, and I said I liked sports, music, and reading. My friend Dan laughed, and called me "genero-boy."
Since that time I've developed an interest in politics, too, though, so I'm pretty out there now.
Hi, I'm rmless2 and I am working from home today but it is less relaxing than I thought it would be because my bunny is humping my elbow. My typing must be very seductive.
HOOOWWWDY! My name is Lipstick Thespian, and I'm a boy, not a girl, and I think the taste of lipstick is like melting crayon all over your face and then eating it.
Hi-dee hi, bunnies. My name is steef, and I live in a giant theme park where people dress up and pretend it's Yore. (I do not pretend it's Yore; it's clearly not Yore anymore.)
Hi, I'm birdie, I recently moved to Portland, OR and I'm 75% of the way to owning an awesome house with a great yard in Portland, OR and when I'm 100% of the way there I can't wait to show you photos!
Ho. I'm seanyboy and last week I broke the land speed record for extreme prammage. There were cream cakes involved and the soul of a small yet large eyed child.
Hi, I'm brina, I live in Brooklyn, and I used to post more often when I thought I had something worth saying. I still read every word, though. Cross my heart.
Hi, I'm kiripin. I live in Davis, CA (but not for much longer), and I've spent way too many hours in meetings over the past two weeks. Also, I haven't had enough coffee.
Hi I am Meatbomb. I am settled in Sofia Bulgaria, and in 9 hours will be sitting in Barney's Breakfast Bar in Amsterdam, reading The Economist, eating bacon and eggs, and smoking strong hashish.
Yep, Zack_Replica is me. I live in Vancouver, Canada and I have absolutely NO connection to the feet that are washing up on the beaches. Honestly. Nothing that anyone could ever pin on me. Also, my hands are stained pink from making beets last night.
I'm Dismas. I don't post nearly as often as I should, 'cause y'all are intimidating. I live in Kansas City, but go to school in Grinnell, IA, and am currently taking summer classes in Kirksville, MO.
I'm jonathanstrange, I'm a girl, not a boy, I hail from the land down under, and consequently walk on my head all day long and catch a ride to work on a passing kangaroo.
Hi, I'm misteraitch, and I live in Sweden, where the midsummer holiday is underway, when the locals desert the towns & cities to go dance naked in the woods.
I'm jouke and I'll be dressed in orange this saturday on the summer solstice Amsterdam metafilter meetup. That's because I'm Dutch and we'll be watching the Netherlands play against Russia.
Hi there my fellow europeans esilenna and misteraitch!
Maybe I'll get the hang of metachat and I'll start sharing personal stuff on the internet and post whimsical posts of fleeting chatty interest. But I think it goes against my modest calvinist Dutch nature or something. So probably not.
Hi! I'm mdonley, and I live between Los Angeles and San Diego, where I'm lazing away my summer with family and friends before heading to Poland for another year of teaching English.
PS: I'll be at the Metafilter meetup in Anaheim on the 28th, if anyone's going, by the way! *waves to fellow Southlanders*
hi, I'm altolinguistic and I live in the UK (which makes me European, despite what some of my compatriots think). I don't post very much and am quite reserved online and IRL which makes me feel like an outsider sometimes. I do read most of what happens here, and know more about some of the folk here (none of whom I've met) than I do about some of my friends IRL.
I am cmonkey and I live in a lovely town in Germany. I have discovered four extrasolar planets and named them all after characters in Judy Blume novels. In my spare time, I enjoy conniving, swindling, coercion, and brinkmanship. I do not own a monocle or a sports car.
Hi, I'm DarkForest. I think that pretty much says it all. I'm in Vermont. I like how geographically diverse this group seems to be. And I want some pics of jonathanstrange riding in her kangaroo.
I'm cloud. I live in Tucson- which doesn't work very well because I consider anything above 80 degrees to be unbearably hot. (I think it's gonna be 107 today -please send ice)
My name is danf. I live in Western Oregon. I used to like bloody marys. And I am much older now than when I first typed this comment, due to the latest outage.
Hi. I'm Lassie and yes, I was named after a dog. When I was thinking of getting a dog, my plan was to name him or her Timmy. My girlfriend shot down this idea pretty quickly. Instead, we named her Scout, so I like to say "Scout's honor" when people don't believe that I was named after a dog.
Hi, I'm goo. I live in London, England, but I had pet kangaroos (and possums nesting in the chimney) as a kid in Canberra. I own eleven prosthetic eyes and have read only murder mystery novels all 2008, to my utmost shame as I have a to-be-read pile 30-odd books high. And which I will change, as soon as I finish this Ian Rankin (damn you terse Scottish suspense *shakes fist*).
Hi. I'm Allie and I live in beautiful Lake Tahoe. I am wearing very very sparkly nail polish on only one finger, my left pinkie. Today I can't stop staring at my sparkly nail polish. It's...captivating.
Hi, I'm BP, and I live in Atlanta GA. You will someday fly through my city, and I will stop you at the airport to ply you with beers and take your picture. Mwah hah hah hah.
I am goshling and I am always late to a thread. I don't post much here, but am always wasting my time avoiding real life in #bunnies. I am in Melbourne and OMG ZOMBIES ARGHHHHHH!
Hey all y'all, I'm tr33hggr and I've been busy prepping house for baby tr33 ("Sapling" acc. to jonmc, which is growing on me) so I totally missed this thread. I like brussel sprouts and am developing a strong fascination with sea vegetables.
G'day, I'm Ubu from Sydney. I've been enjoying pure blue midwinter skies & sunshine, and using colloqualisms that nobody actually ever says in real life.
Hi, I'm charleena. I'm late to this thread because I just got back from my first trip to Hawaii--Kauai, to be specific. I live in Los Angeles, and spend lots of time trying to thinking about where I'd rather live.
.........and I have been working away lots so I missed this thread!
Hi, I'm wilder, I live on the south coast of the UK, dream frequently of being back home in Ireland or Spain, and am enjoying my first real weekend with nothing to do. Going to pick strawberries and make some Eton Mess for brunch now (there are some advantages to living here, honest!)
I'm Andy. I live in London. I once took a load of undeveloped film, still in their plastic canisters, to the developers. I forgot one didn't contain film but a plastic eye. The girl behind the counter had opened two containing proper film, then the third, containing the eye. AND PROPER FREAKED OUT.
I'm typewriter and I live in Toronto, though I am dreaming of elsewhere. I am on a leave from work in 3 more days until mid-September and I can't bear to finish up my work. I do theatre type things for a living, but maybe that will change in the next few years.
