get to know your fellow MuBa's (rock, genre, quote)

.angie. · 02-04-2006, 06:34 PM

So.
I'm Angie.
I like various forms of new age emo. And a lot of the real, old emo, too. And some metalcore. Ooh. I like acoustic, too.
My favorite color's hot pink.
I like rather childish things. Like, jewelry made out of brightly colored beads and such.
And I like hair clips and ribbon.
I have strange STDs.
I have this thing where I hate it when people steal my socks..
I really hate Wal Mart.
I like Target much better.
I have a poor attitude.
I want to transfer out of my super tiny school.
I like my cell phone much.
I like make up a lot. And nail polishes.
I hate those cheerleader/Hollister-wearing wenches that are walking around the CD store with a Green Day or My Chemical Romance or The Used CD's. I told one of them that they should be shot in the face..
I'm not very nice if I don't like you.
I'm afraid of people. They freak me out. I have a social problem where I don't talk to people. And I'm overly shy around..people.
I luff my boyfriend lots. Although he needs a haircut very badly. Like it's a mullet.
Um.. that's about it. I think..

Hi all. I just joined and lurked around a little. Looks like some great music discussions/threads in the forums. I'm 56 and live in Richmond, Va. I just might be the oldest member here but don't worry I'm not a weirdo. LOL! (Time will tell I guess.) I'm married (28 years) and have 3 wonderful grown kids. My fave music is alt. metal but I also love punk, southern and classic rock, and some of just about all genres. I'll be reading some topics and eventually poke my head in some and offer a comment or two.

Cheers!
Andy

Hey thanks! I'm also a grampa, but I seldom act my age.

Mama Booze · 02-05-2006, 06:41 AM

No prob :]

Youngest member meets oldest member [[not that you're old, just the oldest on the boards ;] ]]...awesome.

Feel free to give the twentysomethings on here a ticking off if they start talking down to the teenagers (and yes, that includes if I do it).

AndyJr · 02-05-2006, 07:00 AM

I sure will man!

But I'll be cool about it.

This looks like a cool forum and community. I'll try to be a positive influence.

Hope that don't offend anyone.

My name is Tom, or Tommy.
I'm 24 years old although club doormen always insist that I look about 19 (and then check my I.D., as if 19 year olds weren't allowed into clubs?).
I'm 5 foot 10 inches, about 11 stone and naturally mid-blond. I don't understand the difference between ' and '' when it comes to imperial measurements. Thank god for metric.
I'm 178 cm and 67 kg.
I'm at Birmingham University studying a PhD in chemical engineering, which is why I moved to Birmingham 6 months ago. So far, so good, I get paid trips to conferences around Europe (Salzburg? Yessss) and all the gold I can eat.

I play music a lot and this probably constitutes about 90% of my total time spent listening to music. I play the keyboard and guitar and sing and I'm pretty darn good at it (well, maybe not the guitar playing). I'm in a band called 'Jodi Lee Parker', writing and playing all our own music and spend a lot of time writing and arranging music with them. Technically, we're a really good band and songwriting wise we're making a lot of progress... possibly the best thing about the band is that everybody in the band is equally good at what they do and as a result each is convinced that they are the weak link of the band and is constantly trying to improve to catch up with the other members. Well to be honest, I probably AM the weak link!

Apart from playing music I spend a lot of time hanging out with friends, usually in cafes or pubs. The majority of my friends in Birmingham are international students (don't know why this is), in particular a lot of chinese students. Partly because of this I can speak some chinese (mandarin), or to put it another way 'wo hui shuo yidianr putonghua - keshi hai wo shuo de bu shi hen duo'. Whatever the reason, I seem to be a magnet for foreingers. Maybe its because I'm 'well travelled', while not being flighty, and usually deal well with people of other cultures and nationalities. Its probably not that, but, well I don't know why they like me so much... I've been to lots of other countries before, but am not really a fan of travelling as I feel pretty shallow and voyeuristic just passing through other people's homes to take photographs and souvenirs. I like going to a completely different place and then stay there for a long time, to get a better feel for what its actually like there.

Currently, I have a lot of female friends. A disproportionate amount. I estimate that I'm the token male friend for at least 50 girls in Birmingham and many more elsewhere. I am, however, not ***. In fact, I have a girlfriend and an extremely gorgeous one at that. My girlfriend is Indian and lives in Cornwall, which makes her just about the only Indian person in all of Cornwall. Any of you MB members who live in Cornwall and you see an Indian girl walk by, it might just be my girlfriend... I'm not going to tell you her name.

That's it for now, no more.

Oh, two last facts.

1. I'm not actually a huge music 'listener' as I hinted at earlier, I'm much more of a music player. Visiting places like music banter is a way in which i attempt to educate myself in this respect as I don't know much about current music, while many of the people on here do.
2. I generally make much more sense in person than I do when I write so please be kind when you read anything I've written!

That's all.

I just got my bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering this past December. Hey man, if you ever wanna talk about energy balances and transport phenomena, let me know

I'm not gonna go into my personal life. I'm 21, male, I'm in the masters/phD program for nuclear engineering, I'm focusing on research and my career, and I love music. That is all.
