Well, when I saw your picture (which was the first post of yours that I looked at, I think), I thought, "This person is very welcome here."Originally Posted by limajean
I do think that everyone is naturally a little protective over their "territory" when it comes to newcomers though. Even if that territory is a websiteHaha, I'm horrible.

Okay, I'll play.
Silas Thorne reminded me of a traveler who is both sage and lyrical. I really dig his low key sense of humor. He may slip something clever by you if you're not paying attention.
limabean, my little limabean. Well, at first I thought you must really be into yourself because most people I've run across who look as stunning as you do and post pics as quickly as you did send a flag up for me. HOWEVER, once we started talking I realized how genuine, smart, talented, creative and wonderfully mischievous you are. Even better, I don't think you even know how easy on the eyes you are. And the best part is that you're a rarity who won't even need your looks to get where you want to go. Born on the cusp and doubly blessed.
Jojo is a kindred soul to me. The first time I interacted with her I could tell. It's that simple.
*C*C* reminds me of my daughter. I saw the horses and the mention of being a Hitchcock fan and it clicked for me. It's weird but I felt an instant connection to you.
KizPaws has a way of framing the world via her pictures that makes me feel like I know her. It was another instantaneous thing, I saw her pics and thought that if I had half of her talent that's how I'd frame what she was seeing too.
Niamh I don't really know yet but that sideways pic she has up with the knowing smile made me feel like she could see what I was up to. I don't think anyone could easily fool her.
Sprinks seems like a bundle of energy and a lot of fun.
Logos reminded me of my neighbor who is from Canada. She inherited all of my neighbors qualities

Aww thanks Matt Attack
And Dori,
that made me laugh
I'm a huge film fan period! Supernatural horror done correctly (The Innocents, The Others, The Haunting etc) is one of my favorite genres.
As for the hilarious part, it's purely coincidental

Aw thanks Matt! Your daughter eh? I suppose I'll take that as a compliment
Me too! Not a huge fan of the supernatural, but The Others was a great movie.I'm a huge film fan period! Supernatural horror done correctly (The Innocents, The Others, The Haunting etc) is one of my favorite genres.

Uh huh, sure it is.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
It was meant as one!Aw thanks Matt! Your daughter eh? I suppose I'll take that as a compliment

Oh, come now, I saw that 'Anatomy & Physiology' book in your hands in your pictures. Ah, how I remember those days, the 400-level A&P, the microbiology, histology, organic chemistry . . .
I cannot remember, over a year, no doubt. I would stop by from time to time, but have kept ridiculously busy these past years (working, writing, traveling, keeping up with life, etc.), but at least now it seems far less chaotic.
Thanks Matt I knew it as well we are two pea's in a pod you and I.
I am back............................
Thank you
Ah haha that makes me studious, not well-read! And sometimes I'm not even studious enough! Oh I'm not far enough along yet for micro and histo. I am doing organic chem thoughOh, come now, I saw that 'Anatomy & Physiology' book in your hands in your pictures.

Hmm..maybe I've seen you on one of your forays back then. That's good things are less chaotic. Welcome back!
Sorry for the tangent...

Yikes, o-chem! I loved it, even though it felt so overwhelming! A&P I considered my favorite, and I still do volunteer tutoring from time to time at a nearby university.Ah haha that makes me studious, not well-read! And sometimes I'm not even studious enough!

I started out as a pre-med major, and finished most of the prerequisites, but applied to nursing school out of a whim, partially serious, partially joking, got accepted, and went with that. Not a lot of my coworkers took o-chem, histology, and such, but at least it would make the transition for me easier, if I ever wanted to advance my degree to a nurse practitioner (FNP) or anesthetist (CRNA).
What about you? Science major? Med?
The first thing I thought about Sprinks was that she was wonderfully cheerful.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

Thought that is supposed to be taken as a compliment after one turns 40!Have I acted like one?

It was probably because you were "playing" with the young'uns...

I have an aged body and a youthful soul... it's but one quandary underscored by the wisdom of passing years, no?Thought that is supposed to be taken as a compliment after one turns 40!
