Hey guys,

Just wondering what you guys are like? Im relatively new here and would kinda like to get to know everyone possibly makes friends etc.

So I'll start, Im Becky, Im 23 and live in Liverpool, England (thats where the Beatles come from for those of you who are wondering where the hell it is!!). Im studying in University just about to start a PhD in History.

So onto you-what do you do, where are you from etc...

Hi Becs,

I'm 26 and not far from you currently working and residing in Sheffield. My home town. I have been around a fair bit working in different positions since I graduated in 2002 with a 2.1 degree classification in BA (Hons) Politics and Contemporary History from the University of Salford.

I have been back in the UK for 2 months after travelling around the world taking in Asia, Australasia and South America. Im looking to go travelling again by going to Japan to teach English. I have a 5 year plan to be a teacher back in the UK which will require a lot of hard work and dedication all of which I am capable of.

I like sports. I used to play football to a high level having represented Derbyshire and Sheffield United Centre of Excellence for a while. I also have a judo license, can swim and got to the same level as professional footballers on a fitness 'bleep test'.

Personally, Im quite introverted and can come across as quite shy and moody. Im not at all and when you get to know me I have a wicked sense of humour and an understanding ear. I have a misconceived reputation for being a ladies man and Im not at all really. I havent had a long term girlfriend for about 5 years now and I get lonely sometimes.

I like music and am open to everything and anything within reason. I have just discovered a bunch of artists Im really into-Mocky, Snax, Jamie Lidell, Soffy O, Feist and Gonzales. I have 4gig Ipod which isnt enough Ive discovered.

I like food although I can be quite fussy. I love Indian food best particularly Chicken Tikka. I hate peas. Especially mushy peas.

I've kissed more than 1 Orger.

My current mood is - sad.

Bex, you're adorable. A PhD in History? Fun! My name's Jana and I've been here for over eight years now. Somebody needs to put me out of my misery. I'm 25 and from California. I work at a blood bank during the day, bartend at night, and am on a weekend college program to finish my Bachelor's in International Relations. I'm minoring in Japanese and hope to work for the United Nations someday. I'm a hedonistic altruist bent on saving humanity, but my fate will likely have me in a mental institution before accomplishing anything worthwhile due to my lack of tact in sensitive situations. I hope you've stopped reading this by now. Nice to meet you!

Hello.

I'm Ivy, I'm 38, a single parent of 3, including a child who is autistic, adovcate for the disabled, compliance officer, chief finacial officer, and I am a new college student going to get a Bachelor's degree in Economics. I, too, want to save the world, like Jana but the sure bet is that we'll end up in twin padded cells in Bellevue.

In all these years I didnt know you were a hell of a lot more interesting than I already thought you were. I'm in all weekend it turns out if you want to chat.

Bex, I'd also like to point out that Ivy up here is fantastic and I can't wait to be fed mushy foods together while we're in straightjackets. It's the only thing that's keeping me going.

Plus, I'm going to Chicago next Friday to meet her.

Hello,
I'm Carrie, 32, from Minneapolis. I've been on the org going on 6 years and have been a mod for 4 or 5 months now. I work for Target Corporation ( ) and while it would take me a looooong time to explain what I do, suffice to say, I really like my job. The past three years have seen me traveling the world to visit orgers and having them visit me here in Minneapolis. I've met orgers in Chicago, Amsterdam, London, Manchester, LA, Arizona, Seattle and Miami and will round that out this spring by traveling to Thailand.
I love music, fashion, my kitty and expensive vodka.

I've also kissed more than one orger.

I've probably kissed more than most and I've kissed two at the same time.

Lothan said:

I don't doubt it!

I'm Jason...there's not alot to say about myself; atleast nothing unique or exciting..,

Welcome...

roodboi said:

No one cares about those kinda things anyway. People just wanna know...have you kissed an orger? With tongue?

How about punched? Have you punched one?

JustErin said:

however erin, I would love to punch or kiss you...which ever you'd prefer...

roodboi said:
