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...

Name: Nikki

Age: 29

Location: New Jersey, USA

In School and/or Work? Graduated high school in 1991. I have been working as a customer service supervisor for 12 years, and counting, at an industrial cleaning supply company.

Hobbies: Reading, shopping, traveling, watching TV, writing, chatting online

Favorite Sport(s): I love to watch college/pro- basketball (men's ONLY!), college/pro- football, and tennis. I really love to go bowling, too.

Favorite Player(s): Michael Jordan (all-time favorite), Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Donovan McNabb (Syracuse, baby!), Eddie Jones, Anfernee Hardaway, Barry Sanders, Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Monica Seles

Favorite Team(s): SF 49ers, LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls (ah, the memories!), Syracuse Orangemen. I also like other individual players on specific teams, but not necessarily the entire team itself.

Hated With A Passion: Dallas Cowboys, St Louis R*ams (actually, anybody in the NFC West!), New York Knicks, Green Bay Packers (although I would take Brett Favre on the Niners any day). I am really starting to not like the Buccaneers, either, for some reason.

Other FF Boards Frequently Posted On: Soaps, Spoilers, 24, Dawson’s Creek, Television, Books, Third Watch, Christina Aguilera, Off Topic, and Moderators

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.

~

We can use this thread as an Off Topic thread, too, as we endeavor in getting to know one another better here. Besides, life isn't all about sports, is it? Hee! So, thanks for participating and have fun posting. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I didn't know you were a BC fan....strange. And that's a great song. It helps if you're really drunk when you're singing karaoke.

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.

The farthest north I've visited is the Baltimore/D.C. area, but I've flown into JFK and Logan.

Sad. I need to go on a few roadtrips.
