*Introductions*

[ProfCrash]

Hey, PC here. I have been hanging out with most of the folks arriving here for close to 6 years. Started my posting career at Pathfinder, then moved to Cybersites, now I am moving here.

I obsess over politics and Babylon 5. I firmly believe that John Sheridan is a Chowderhead.

[AsIs]

Many of us know each other already, but here is a place where we can all get to know a little about each other.

As time goes on, new people will find this place and want to know more about the people they see posting and share a bit about themselves.

[AsIs]

I'll start first. It doesn't have to be this detailed. I keep mine on file because I've had to enter it so many times...

I am AsIs and come mostly that way.

Hey... I'm a friend of AsIs's from the Stranger than Paradise board (under the comics section), which is an offshoot of the SiP Forum, which is dedicated to the worship of Strangers in Paradise and the Author/Artist, Terry Moore. *sees AsIs growling, stops plugging*

I'm 26, female, mostly straight, involved, I recently moved to Michigan, but that's a long story, I can't for the life of me think of any significant details, but let's just say that I'm usually cranky and irritable, and even though I generally prefer nights, I've actually been seen around during the day, so the rumors about me being a vampire are TOTALLY unfounded.

Right now, I'm reading Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, and Mike Resnik's Sanitago, both of which are excellent.

I also adore B5, and greatly miss it, I don't watch a lot of TV, but that was one of the shows I made a habit of watching. My current favorite show is "Who's Line Is It, Anyway," which will often have me literally ROFLMAO. Repeatedly. You should try it. It's good excercise.

More later, maybe, and nice to meet you guys.

I also come from a place far away and not so far away.

I live in Maine and work in schools, though I am not a teacher.

My interests include all things Trek, B5, reading mysteries, playing with my computer, music (listening and playing), games of all kinds, and traveling to far away places.

Who Am I? OH! That's a game somewhere else. Sorry! Got carried away there for a sec. Nice to see old faces and meet new ones.

[erisesoteric]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan. The fact that I forgot to mention this fact does not detract from my adoration, it just indicates that I really AM a natural blond.

Carry on...

[Tandara]

Here's what I've said about myself at my other cyber home:


<font color=red>I live in Rural Ohio on a small Mini-farm. I am 39 years old and some say a "complex woman". I'm sure many of you are either scratching your heads or ducking for cover when I get in one of my more colorful moods ;}


I live with two irritating males (husband and son) who seem to delight in raising my blood pressure sky high!


*sigh* Oh what's a warrior babe to do!</font>

[MerleZ]

Hi, I'm Merle. Wandering sorcerer on the web, lawyer in RL. Don't throw rotten things at me, please!

I've been at PF, right before the migration to cybersites. Spent three good years there. Now we're slowly moving here.

I enjoy SF, especially B5. Trek I watch, because B5 is over, but I grew up on TOS. And Lost in Space. OK, I'm old.

My favorite authors are Tolkien, Donaldson, and Zelazny, in Fantasy, and in that order. Otherwise, I enjoy Steinbeck, Poe, Twain.

In movies, I love comedies. Austin Powers makes me laugh so hard I cry. I'm an idiot for Monty Python as well. The Great Race is such an under appreciated movie, but oh so funny! Enjoy the Indiana Jones movies, and Star Wars as well.

Well that's me in a nutshell. No, this is me in a nutshell. Help! I'm stuck in this bloody big nutshell! Honestly, what kind of nut has a shell like this?

[Nommy]

Nomad (Nommy to my friends) here!

Well, I mostly lurked at PF (spit) and came to CS from day 1. Will this be the enw place Hmmmm....Ill give it a whirl. For those who know me, Im a tinkerer of sorts. I have some latent magic abilities that I am constantly challenging. Just ask PC or Merle how much trouble I can get into.

Im not gonna post all that opther stuff. Sufice to say...you want to know about me..just ask. I tend to be very outspoken and foward.

[jasoom]

From Pathfinder to Popelon, onwards to cyber sites and Hostboard. It's been a long journey!

Like to keep in touch with my cyber friends & see what the 'gang' is up to, which is why I am pleased with the opportunity that Hostboard's Zoloco provides. (Thanks AsIs)

I have many similar interests such as has been stated by all of you. Culturally and literally I am sci-fi attuned, with a special fondness for Babylon 5.

I also believe that John Sheridan is a Chowderhead. Another B-5 observation that I hold is that I miss Mira Furlan. (A lot!)

Currently fill in my SciFi quality time with Farscape, Lexx, Andromeda, lots of re-runs, & large doses of Sci-Fi movies. I don't read scifi nearly as much as I had in the past but do enjoy a good read when time allows.
