I know where everything is
El
Great, I wish I had known that last month when I lost my cell phone. I would have called you... oh, wait...
Occupation? At the moment, unemployed. I worked for a major non-profit organization for several years. The last six years with them, I ran a Homeless Family Shelter. In my last job, I was a medical receptionist in an Urgent Care. Oy, I feel like I'm filling out yet another application...
Marital Status? Never married. No childrenof my own, though I helped raise my niece from the time she was an infant until she was 16.
Favorite Books? The Bible. All Creatures Great & Small series. Favorite authors: CS Lewis and Isaac Asimov.
Favorite Movies? The Long Grey Line, Princess Bride, The Mummy, Top Secret, anything with Bing Crosby. Fiddler On The Roof. LoTR. Cheyenne Social Club and The Quiet Man. Favorite Actors/Actresses: Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara. And of course, Bing.
Favorite Music (aside from Al, of course) Steve Camp, and Paul Wilbur. :lookround: Bee Gees, Barry Manilow.
Left handed? Right handed? Righty.
If money was no object, what one thing would you do? You mean if I won the lottery? After I bought houses for all my family members, and gave to various charities (Habitat for Humanity, and Billy Graham for starters) I would tour chase. Since Bing isn't touring, I'd probably follow the Poodle Hat Band. Heh, get it? Poodle Hat Band... Oh, never mind.
Have any hobbies? Lots of artsy craftsy kinds of things. I stick with something as long as it interests me, then I move on. Consequently I have a ton of Craft supplies. I love Computer graphics.
What's the most exciting thing you've ever done? I don't know how exciting it was, but I stepped way out of my comfort zone and showed my dog for one summer. I had to travel, meet new people and learn a lot to do it. I met some wonderful people, spent a lot of money, and discovered that my doggy is much happier just being a dog and not a hair growing machine.
Do you have any special interests or hidden talents? I draw. I sing. I (sort of) play guitar. Bible study is a particular passion of mine.

Do you have any special interests or hidden talents? I can play the bells, drums, percussion, flute, and keyboard well (only one-handed on the keyboard - can't play treble and bass at the same time - but I'm still good IMO), and can play trumpet somewhat so-so.
Also, I'm a song parody artist, and a songwriter [moreso a lyricist] as well. The majority of my originals are serious not comedic, though.

Re: Getting to know you...and you...and you
Since folks are posting their pictures and discussing their screen names,
I thought I'd try something to let us know more about each other, while we
await PH day. Anyone interested, just answer the questions below. Feel free to embelish any way you like.
I like this idea!
Occupation? Programmer and "e-mail marketing specialist" (no, I'm not a spammer).
Marital Status? Single, but with the same gal for 6+ years. I'll be 24 in a couple months, and she just turned 22 a couple months ago... so no huge rush on that one.. yet.
![:) :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
Favorite Books? "Have a Nice Day : A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks", by Mick Foley.
Favorite Movies? UHF (of course), the Star Wars trilogy, and pretty much anything by Mel Brooks, especially Spaceballs and History of the World Part I, the Back to the Future trilogy... Oh yeah and Office Space... I've always loved that movie and now *my boss is the boss from that movie*, down to the speech patterns and the omnipresent coffee mug.
Favorite Music (aside from Al, of course) Queen, along with a lot of other random songs by random people/bands
Left handed? Right handed? Severely right-handed. Don't even know why the left one is there.
If money was no object, what one thing would you do? ...not go to work everyday! Everything else would just fall into place.
Have any hobbies? Video games, WWE, baseball (tragically, I am a fan of the New York Mets), rollercoaster enthusiast... I also like to go entertain the homeless cats that are up for adoption at a place by my job on my lunch break.. it's fun and it makes up for the fact that I can't have one until I move out of the place I'm in now.
What's the most exciting thing you've ever done? Meeting Al! Also, some of the rollercoasters I've had the pleasure of riding have really sent chills down my spine...
Do you have any special interests or hidden talents? Hmm... I make one of the most mouth-devastating hot sauces you'll ever taste.
![:onfire: :onfire:](./images/smilies/onfire.gif)
Can't think of much else right now!
