we all post under lil nicknames here. ... well... except for me, since i'm just not that clever.
but, as honest as you want to be, and as much as you're willing to share... who are you? whats your real name? where do you live? how old are you? are you married? kids? where do you live? where did you live? what is your profession? where did you go to college? what are your interests and hobbies?
Well, I guess I'll take the plung and go first....
Real Name: Don't like to use it online in forums and places like that, but since a good portion of you already know it, I wont post it here. Although it is someplace online that I've shared with you guys so if you're good, you can find it.
Age: 30 and counting
Sex: waiting til I get married.... OH you meant.. Last time I checked, woman
Location: IL, past, present, and for seeable future
Marital status/kids: Never married, no kids.
Sports: I play on my church's volleyball league
Profession: Recently switched from admin to web goddess and grapic arts goddess. I've been home for 3 months now and since my last web job fell through, I've had no new jobs. Yet I say I'm a freelancer web designer because ultimatly that's what I am.
College: Columbia College, Chicago fall 91 - fall 92, Triton College fall 93, Wright College spring 94. Took a break and went back in '97 after I moved out of the city. CLC spring 97 - spring 99. Stoped going due to illness, never graduated any college, but I gradutated from high school in 3 years with out summer school.
Interests and hobbies: Just check out my LJ profile. I have 117 interests listed and I've been meaning to add more to it.
Shows: (just going to list current ones here)Alias, 7-th Heaven, Third Watch, L&A SVU, ER, CSI, Smallville, Enterprise, the Peacemakers, and I'll be tuning into NCIS because of David McCallum. For some reason that list seems to be missing a show or 2.
I've recently gotten back into shows I saw as a kid, or shows I was introduced to as a kid, but never got a chance to watch more than an episode or 2 due to finding it late (it was an old show at that point running in reruns). Among them are Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Man From U.N.C.L.E., the A-Team (although that's not on the air anymore). I've also gotten back into writting, although I don't have time to do any now. But what got me back into it is fan fiction. I have one completed story, working on a companion piece to it (both SMK stories), I wrote a part in a MFU round robin, and that's it. Although I'd like to write more MFU fics, but I've only seen a small hand ful of episodes and don't feel I know the charecters and cannon well enough to do so, unless I take them and set them up in my own universe where I wont have to worry about cannon so much.
I've been too busy to do any computer coloring lately, but would like to since I now have Photoshop. I was using Paint Shop Pro for the other ones I did.
I like to travel, but due to lack of money, don't. The closest I've been to leaving the country is when I went to Canada for a weekend with my family in 88. The last vacation I took was back in '91. I'm way over due for one.

I am a moderate Republican who happens to think George W. Bush is a God. I'm moderate because I'm pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, and all for civil unions between gays.

I draw lots of pictures, albeit not well.
Honestly, I'm pretty fucking boring. But I can hold an interesting conversation and manipulate many a mind.
I'm a photographer. I took this job because I love people. There's nothing I enjoy more than meeting someone like yourself and getting to know you and then taking a few action photos of you while I drive.

Just about everything that can be said about me I wrote here in my first RKMB days:
quote:Originally posted by Ultimate Jaburg53:
As for people. In general I have almost nothing in common any more with general society.
I have become quite the hermet these past four years. After my ordeal with caring for my grandparents which was about 2 years I hardly left the apartment I shared with my friends. EVER.
That was another year separated from the masses.
Then another 4 or five months before I found a job after I moved into my current apartment.
And now it's either work or home.
I try my damdest to avoid groups, crowds and the like.
I just don't relate to people.
This and the DCMB are the only real link to people I havn't given up on.
I know it's sad.
Speaking of my Grandparents, yesturday was the two year anniversery of the death of my grandmother and the end of my obligation.
The end of the two years when my grandparents both came down with cancer about the same time. My Grandfather Renal cancer which shut down his kidneys and grew tumors the size of golf balls and grapefriuts in his body and put him on dyalisis THREE fucking times a week AND confined him too his bed AND ground his body down to nothing. My grandmother breast and bone cancer .
My Grandmother had a great combination.
Add her breast cancer and bone cancer to devoloping parkinsons disease and a pinced nerve in her neck you get a nice long painful ugly dehumanizing death.
Then they were middle class so guess what? Horrible health care options. YEA!
Too much money to qualify for help paying for a live in nurse to take care of them and not poor but not enough money to be able to pay for live in healthcare themselves without it leaving them destitute.
Enter the 21 year old boy with very little or no help from anyone but his two friends and his girlfriend to save the fucking day.
So I took care of them.
Everything a nurse would do. Except when it came to my grandmothers hygene that I need help.
Their blood, vomit, piss, and shit were all mine to wade knee deep through.
Changing my grandfathers diapers he needed because due to the cancer he could no longer feel when he need to go. Bathing and changing him. Lifting him in and out of the wheelchair . I had to catheterize him.
My grandmother required many, many medications. Including insulin shots for diabitis.
Both had special diets.
Had to be housekeeper and cook.
All on my shoulders. My family decided that since I had stepped up to the plate they could go back about thier own lives as if nothing were happening after all the 21 year old boy was taking care of things.
They looked on any plea for help from me as an inconvienance. So I became inclined to ASK less and less.
Chapter 3: And it all came tumbling down.
Fast forward to three days before the 99 or 2000 survivor series.
The van arrives that brought my grandfather to and from dialysis three times a week. The guy in the van wheels my Grandfather in and he says there is a problem and that he believes my Grandfather had been over dialisysized or whatever. He wanted to know If I wanted him to get an ambulance. Looking at the driver and my Grandfather I knew the real deal.
Call an Ambulance and he gets another month to live or dies in a hospital.
Don't call an Ambulance he dies at home, now.
I chose hope and brought the Ambulance.
Why not? At the time my Grandmother was admitted there recovering from pnumonia.
They even broght her down to the emergancy room on a gurny so she could see him just in case things took a turn for the worst.
I watched from across the room as two people who I loved very, very much and had spent the last 60 + years of thier lives going through thick and thin together hold hands perhaps for the last time.
They finally stabalized my grandfather enough to admit him into the oncology ward just two rooms away from my grandmother where he quietly passed on the next day. Three days before Thanksgiving.
When my Grandmother came home from the hospital things wern't the same. She was very depressed and the house started to feel very empty. Altough the pnumoina was good everything else came back worse probably due to her sadness and loss.
We got along as best we could through february and at the beginning of march my Aunt Linda came to visit Grandma and give me a short but long needed break.
Which brings us to 11:30 ish Pm March 7th.
I had just come home from bowling I hadn't been out in weeks. Walking through the house I walk by the Bathroom and see the door partly open and my Grandmother in there struggling with her clothing and her breath.
Thank God my girlfriend and future fiancee was staying there that night. My grandmother hadn't made it to the bathroom in time because of the fact she could hardly breath. My Aunt Linda asleep grandma sruggled into the bathroom by herself.
My girlfriend was kind enough to give her a good bath and get her back to bed comfotably. Also seemingly able to breath much better.
The next morning her breathing problrm started up again so we rushed her to the emergancy room where she was rushed in and hooked up to monitors and oxygen. My parents arrived to the emergancy room from thier jobs and we all took turns visiting grandma in the emergancy ward where only two of us were allowed at a time.
Or so we thought. I'll get back to that.
During one of my shifts in the ward I notice that the numbers on the monitor hooked up to my grandmother dropping stedily and surely.
So I ask a nurse.
I asked " Are those numbers supposed to be dropping like that?"
"Didn't anyone tell you?" She said " She's dying. This is it"
See the nurse had told Aunt Linda that and said we all could wait in there with my grandmother but it failed to sink in with Aunt Linda and therefore Aunt Linda never told us what the skinny was.
In less than a minute after the nurse told me that my grandmother was dead.
I got a front row seat.
I tell you these things not to pat myself on the back mainly because I don't even think I deserve it.
Many people who loved my grandparents and knew what was going on all said I did a saintfull selfless act. I keep getting told I did a wonderful job but I still feel like shit.
I was 21 -23 years old in the prime of my life feeling young, powerfull and almost damn near immortal but I compare it to Superman the movie what Clark says in the seen after Jonathen Kent dies " I can do all these things, But I couldn't save them" was all I thought.
I keep thinking of how it was something everyone would do nothing special and realized I was wrong.
It has taken me a long time to recover. A long time but fuck, now everyday bullshit is nothing to me. All the little shit that we think is just such a horrible burden on our lives just ain't shit. Alll that matters is is that I am alive. Here today and able to enjoy it. Everything else is butter.
PS:The day my grandfather died was also the day of the Survior Series and the day before I got the results of the AIDS test I took.
The test came out negative of course.
I still remain slightly haunted. Sometimes I get flashes reminding me off blood, vomit and catheters but life goes on.
Why I choose to lay this all out here I don't know. I seem to post this shit somewhere once a year about this time.
Forgive my spelling and thank you for reading.
I've gotten better since then with going out. Being in comission sales you have to be able to talk to people and help them out so if you don't talk you don't sell.
quote:Originally posted by Ultimate Jaburg53: During that time I became a born again fanboy. It saved my sanity. I really think I'm hooked on the fuckers till I'm dead.
Me too buddy .......me too. And Jake if you ever need to talk.....just give me a shout. Oh and I'm drunk.
Why the hell not, not like you guy don't know this.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

I just had a dream about the only girl I've ever really loved,havent seen her in a few years so I'm not sure where the dream came from. Long story short I'm wide awake at 4 AM.
I had this really fucked up dream where my ex-fiance wanted to get back with me. So we met at a college and there was a riot, so we went and talked by the gym, but then I saw everyone fall down and get back up. Then I saw a plane drop a bomb on the school so I grabbed my ex and threw her into one locker and myself into another one. And then everyone got fire bombed, but it turned out the fire bomb was a supernatural Phoenix entity, and since part of its flame touched my ex, myself, and some total asshole (don't know where he came from, but I know its the jerk guy from Final Destination) without killing us, we absorbed some of its abilities.
So we could fly now, but I sucked at it. Anyways the Phoenix begins to hunt us all down, first the asshole, then me and my ex.It kills the asshole, but it doesn't kill my ex or I. But it touches us and reabsorbs its power, but it still wants to kill us.
So it goes after us and kills other people, but since we hide in lockers it doesn't kill us. So it keeps hunting us and killing innocent people until we figure out the only way it will stop is if we're dead so we kill ourselves to save other people.
Then my body floats out and I see all the other people that the Phoenix killed with no pants on and vericose vein asses and one of the dead guys asks for $10 for the coroner and the dream ends.
On a side note, I believe this post will be the thread killer.
Occupation: Studying to be a Math Teacher with a minor in Psych. Currently packing to go back to school.
Interests: Anything that's fun. I go to bars, I drink, I make with the social and have a great time doing so. I like movies though I don't have much of a collection ($$$), my money goes to my other interest: Comics. I watch TV for the news, cartoons, Smallville, and if anything else decent is on, otherwise it stays off. I tried to get outside more this summer...it failed. I'm also trying to expand my music collection. My all time favs are Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen (saw him live!).
If you were a fruit what would you be? A banana, or an orange.

Education: Next Wednesday marks the beginning of my junior year at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL where I am a philosophy/religion major with minors in both theatre and Greek.

Religion: I'm a Christian, having been raised in the Protestant faith under the denomination of the Church of the Nazarene. Politics: I'm a moderate conservative with controversial ideas about economics (that is to say, I hate capitalism. Now, that's not to say that I'm either a socialist or a communist, but I think there must be a better way of doing things. Personally, I don't know why anyone would've wanted to get rid of the barter system, truth be told...). Relationships: Only relationship I've ever really had last two months and has been over for more than a year. I figure I'm gonna be single for a while, anyway. I mean, you gotta stick with what you're good at! Favorite Films: I have way too many to keep track. Right now, I'd have to say either Chicago or Pirates of the Caribbean.

Lewis' Mere Christianity, and Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Favorite Comics: At present, I'm much more into the writings of Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore, while also picking up the occasional Warren Ellis or Grant Morrison. I just finished Sandman: Season of Mists and thought it was very well done. Some excellent work, indeed. Favorite Sports: Not really an athletic kinda guy. I'm more into the arts than I am into sports. I like watching the Super Bowl, though... only I like it because of the commercials... Favorite TV Shows: I've not really made it a point to watch TV since NBC cancelled The Pretender, but every now and again, I'll catch some episodes of one of the three Law & Order series, all of which I greatly enjoy. Favorite Music: I'm what you'd call "ecclectic". I like a little bit of everything. My MP3 list has a variety of styles ranging from rap to country to rock to latin to disco to oldies to polka to techno, et cetera, et cetera... ad infinitum. Favorite Foods/Restaurants: I am a lover of almost all cuisines, but I have always been partial to Mexican or seafood. That having been said, my favorite restaurants are Carabba's (a great Italian place), Red Lobster, and the Greek Islands (a Greek restaurant, natch), with the occasional visit to a Mexican place called La Hacienda.
Hey Chewy, I have a friend that went to olivet for a couple years, I think. One day when both of us had a day off, after she left there (if I remember correctly), we went down there to hang out. heh
