In light of coldplay's recent thread, I thought of setting aside one thread where anyone, new and old, to come and post, formally introduce yourselves.

I'll start with myself:

You may know me as littlelies7
My real name is... really, swear to God... Lindsey. I'm very serious, and I wouldn't lie or even joke about something like that. Also, don't get excited. I wasn't exactly named after Mr. Buckingham, I was partially named after my late grandfather.

I'm a girl

FM Songs: Little Lies (go fig :rolleyes: ), Hold Me, Isn't It Midnight, Eyes of the World, Murrow, World Turning, Songbird, GYOW, TITN, Gypsy, I Know I'm Not Wrong, Never Make Me Cry, and list goes on and on...

My name is Petros Petros Gottye. I am closer to 40 than 30. I'm a recovering genius, recidivist comic, reformed believer and born-again cynic. I like beer. I like guitars and I like cars. I like books and despise crooks.

My favorite albums:

Out of the Cradle
Tusk


Last night I had pasta for dinner. Today I had a tuna sandwich for lunch, only it wasn't tuna; it turned out to be chicken. That was the fourth time this week I had chicken. And frankly, I'm getting sick of it! Tonight, I shan't eat chicken.

My dog likes chicken too. But then again, she eats anything, even her own puke. (Sorry, it's the truth.)

My child is a little gluton too. And I like that!

Oh, yeah, and come spring, I'm going to go kayaking again.

Tommer is my actual name, i'm 31, male, i live on Tel-Aviv's suburbia.
i'm currently a media and journalism student (2nd year) and a part time graphic designer. my previous occupations include radio programming and DJing, drug dealing, tv reporter and commentator, a music store's buyer, a navy soldier, a DJ and a salesman (yes, i am better at getting jobs than holding them).

i'm a fan for 16 years, flew to see them once in the states (while the dance tour) and once to the uk almost 2 months ago (where i managed to sneak backstage tripped on E :laugh: ). since i do not believe in god, stevie nicks is all there's left for me to believe in.

other than the Mac, music i really like include Marianne Faithfull (my all-time #2), Puressence, ABBA, Olive, Depeche Mode and Moby.
TV: Conan, Ali G., 24, South Park, E! (i can watch this channel for days, it massages my brain) and my two horrendous fetishes- The Bold & The Beautiful (no, i'm NOT kidding) and Cheaters (better than porn).

i've a cat named Vince Clark that i really had enough of, and when he dies (he's 11 already), i'll get myself a parrot instead.

My name is Laurie (obviously)
Born and raised in Connecticut
I'm 35 years old and I will stop counting birthday's from now on:laugh:

I'm married (12 years) and we have a beautiful boy who is the light of my life. I tell everyone I'm still on maternity leave because I haven't gone back to work yet;)

I do alot of volunteer work at my son's school which keeps me pretty busy...I am currently spearheading our first Mardi Gras Party!!

I'm a Stevie Nicks fan first and foremost. I've loved her since I was 12 or 13 years old. I saw the White Winged Dove tour on cable TV and have been mesmerized ever since.

My musical taste runs the gamut from the Dave Matthews Band (which I unabashedly admit to being a 'davehead') to Neil Diamond (who I think is one of the greatest songwriters EVER) to Pearl Jam to Led Zeppelin to Simon and Garfunkel to Rage Against The Machine to U-2....I tend to enjoy songwriters rather than the 'manufactured' pop stars....but you name them....I like 'em.

Some of my favorite movies include: The Philadelphia Story, Rebel Without A Cause, Dead Poets Society and practically anything with Tom Hanks.

Favorite TV shows: Friends, Will and Grace, ER, All in The Family, Roseanne, and I've watched Days of Our Lives since my first day out of the womb.

I LOVE Hockey...I don't play it but I love to watch it. Our son is in his first year and I think we have a future NHL all-star on our hands....definately a 'grinder':)

That's about it:wavey:

I've been a Ledgie since the Dance but decided to unlurk back in 2000. and I still haven't broken 1000 posts... :lol:

Favorite things are as follows:

Albums and Artists: Wild Heart, Tusk, TITN, RAL, OTOSM, TISL, if I like you I probably have at least your greatest Hits album, other artists include Tom Petty, the Eagles, Eric Clapton, Jewel, Garbage, Donna Summer and the older disco dance classics, Art of Noise...I love old soul and blues but I always come back to the Mac...

FM Songs: this changes but today it's Beautiful Child, Rhiannon and Sara live versions, Murrow and Holiday Road.

Movies: Gone with the Wind, Titanic, The Wind [an old silent film by Lilian Gish), African Queen and the Heiress..

TV Shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and King of Queens and I have been sucked into a few of the reality shows but which ones is getting way too personal :laugh:

laurie writes I've watched Days of Our Lives since my first day out of the womb. me too!!! well, I was just a toddler when my mom started watching Days and Another World :wavey: but not recently as my stereo with tv/radio does not work well in my new office...

FM Members: I like all the bandmembers but I'll always be a Stevie chiffonhead

Personally, I like the anonymity of the Internet, I come here to twirl in peace...but I do worry about the younger Ledgies and other young people I have met on other boards, they offer up their personal information so quickly and without reservation...'cause creeps love to creep and the Internet is a great playground...

Hello,

I've been registered here for a few weeks but haven't posted yet because I've been trying to go through all the old posts first.

Anyway, my name is Nick, I'm 24 and I'm from Perth Western Australia. I'll be going to both Perth shows at the end of February (at the first show I'll be in the second row!! I'm so excited!)

Ok so here goes:

And my favourite member would have to be Stevie! I've had her and FM's "Best Of"s for ages but I only seriously got into Stevie and FM because of Destiny's Child's Bootylicious (Oh the shame!). Since then I've collected all Stevie's solo stuff and all the Rumours line-up albums.

So that should do for now.

Nick

Hi all! After reading the Ledge for a long time I figured it was time to sign up and say hi! My real name is Carol (Violet is one of our cats' name...the other one is Beavis, yes, as in Beavis and Butthead, don't get me started!) , and I'm 38. I live in Garden State Girlie's neck of the woods; S. Jersey, 25 minutes from Philly. I went to both Philly shows last year and will go again if they're back in this area. I work full-time in the legal field, am married and have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter who is the light of my life. She also loves FM music, and knows all the words to several songs. She's especially good at Landslide, and I swear one of these days I'm going to videotape it and send it to Stevie....I've always liked FM, but really became a fan after the Dance. I can remember sitting in class back in '85 and one friend said to another "your hair looks like Stevie Nicks'." She got all pi**ed off and said "gee, thanks." I never did like that girl!!

So here's my list of favs...

Favorite FM Member: Stevie

Favorite FM Songs: Storms, Beautiful Child

Favorite FM Album: Undecided.

Favorite non-FM music: Sheryl Crow, Celine Dion, Aerosmith

Favorite movies: Sound of Music, Emperor's New Groove (hilarious), Dirty Dancing

Favorite TV: Friends, Will&Grace, ER, Survivor, Amazing Race (will there be a new one?)

Favorite Beverage: Mt. Dew or Pinot Grigio

Favorite Food: Hershey's chocolate (I worked at Hersheypark once, and the smell from the factory was SO yummy!)

Austin is actually pretty gay-friendly. I think of it as something of an oasis in a desert of gun-toting, pick-up truck driving, baptist rednecks.

Let me also note quickly that you post what you, yourself want people to know.

I was reading older posts and read someone's concern about posting personal info.

Just wanna say that.

God bless everyone! :wavey:
