Okay. I have one question for Talesien. If you are always disrobed whilst posting, then are you always posting from home or are you sometimes posting from the jail where you have been picked up for indecent exposure? Just wondering.

[Branflakes]

Hi, I'm Branflakes, the ninja lesbian milk getter (and to explain how all that happened we'd have to start another STP History thread). I'm 30 (31 in April), female, and lesbian in a wondrous relationship for about a year and a half now. My better half on rare occasion lurks on this board and my own (ChatterBox), and posts even less.

I'm work as a full-time computer support person. I go to school when I'm in the mood (not this semester) and will at some point get a degree in computer support. I've written my first book and am currently revising it while I actively research agents and whatnot. The first draft of that book can be found on the second page of STP, if you are interested in reading.

I also LOVE football (my flag football team just won the local championship for the second year in a row), reading, playing video games (Diablo II is my current addiction), chocolate, and other random things.

I also have just relaized I wrote way more than I planned to. ah well.

Oh yeah, I'm the posting queen/king on this board. *see ridiculously high count on the left*

[UMAW]

I'm a fun loving Pisces--oh, wait, not *that* introduction...

I'm in my 30s, a grad(ual) student in anthropology, currently working on my dissertation. I have three wonderful cats. I'm one of those earthy-crunchy types (you know, vegetarian, tree-hugging, organic gardening, no TV, blah, blah, blah). I like reading, knitting, basket-making, and soap making. I have a tendency to be pedantic and/or preachy (No way! I hear you all saying....). ;-)

[JaceSan]

Hi I'm Jace, over 30 by a few years, straight, but not narrow. Studying how to make integrated circuits at school while learning what the hell to do with them after they're made at work.

I think leesh was way cool even before she started working as a DJ, despite her inability to use a shift key.

I've actually tried playing the Baldur's Gate game that eris mentioned, but got frustrated/ bored when I couldn't figure out how to get out of the frikkin' city.

I did manage to hide a few kegs while I was wandering around the town though...

[Lulu]

Hey!

I'm Lulu. I'm also 26. I post sporadically at best. I'm on my second career- and plan to pursue it for three years before going back for a masters. I won't tell you what- or in what- because I'm jsut like that.

I have a cat. I have a dog. I live in LA. My current favorite author is Milan Kundera. My favorite artist is Gustav Klimt. I am awed by the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.

Que mas?
I like to paint. I am not mechanically inclined.

------------------
Ignorant before the heavens of my life
I stand and gaze in wonder...
so that my heart grows used to
it's farthest spaces. Better that it live
fully aware, under the terror of it's stars, than
as if protected, soothed by what is near."
-Rainer Maria Rilke

[Freyja]

Hmm.. what to say.. As many of you may know from my B-day thread, I am newly 23. I'm currently studying to be a highschool Latin teacher, and hope to get into a program with University of Texas that will let me continue study in graduate-type classes either in classics or folklore.

I love drawing, love art, and especially love moving art, so I'm mesmerized any time I see animation, and I'm especially interested in Japanese animation because they spend the time needed to develop its artistic potential.

I love just about everything else too: languages (though I only know Latin, English, and am starting on Greek and German), people in general, some people in particular like you guys ("awww..." you all respond), and of course, paddling pools!
