Who? What? When? How? Where? Come In And Meet Your Fellow Sports Fanatics!
 

[img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] I saw this on another board, although I believe that we had this type of thread here before, as well, but anyway, I just thought it would be good to start another one again, in order for new posters to introduce themselves on our board and for us regular posters to get reacquainted with each other again. Please feel free to answer any questions that you feel comfortable responding to, and of course, you can add any other additional information you might want to share with us.

I’ll start...

Any More Interesting Stuff? Hmm. I'll keep it brief. I am an only child, spoiled rotten. My favorite color is blue and I am obsessed with dolphins, or anything related to such. I also love to be anywhere by the water, whether it is lying on the beach or swimming in the ocean.

[ 11-13-2003: Message edited *°*Glo*°* ]

Yeah, I've been a BC fan for about 12 years now, since high school. God, I can't believe it's been that long. I was accepted to BC, but Auburn was always my first choice (and it was a whole lot cheaper. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) I've always had a strange fascination with the northeast, and I've never really been there (other than flying into airports).

I do admit, I was quite drunk when I sang Bobby McGee, but it wasn't karaoke. I probably wouldn't have been so embarrassed if it had been. The guy I dated at the time is a musician and his band had a gig at this small place downtown. He essentially forced me onstage to sing. I was mortified but wasn't too bad. Drinking does indeed help.

I flew ito Dullas once. That's my far east coast experience [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Great idea, Nik! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
