New Ledgie saying hi to all!
 

Hey, I'm new here, though I've been lurking for quite some time. I really enjoy all the passion and intelligence I find on these forums, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and try posting.

I don't have any especially fascinating details about myself; I'm a student, a writer, and a reader, and I've been a Stevie/Mac fan since I was a kid and I first saw them on MTV. Their music has been pretty constant in my life ever since.

Anyway, enough of that--hi to all and great forum you got here!

Howdy Howdy Howdy :wavey:

hola! :wavey:

Welcome...
 

to the Ledge...Enjoy posting!

Welcome to the Ledge! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. :wavey:

Welcome!
I love new Ledgies! :thumbsup:

Welcome to our "little"
 

community. :D

Hello and welcome :wavey:

Thanks!
 

Thanks, everybody! :wavey:

Welcome to the room....Bushes :angel:

Welcome! :)

What do you write?

Hiya. Welcome.

Hello and welcome!:wavey:

Romy

Welcome! :wavey:

First, thanks to all for the warm welcomes, and to answer your question, I write a bit of everything--essays, short stories, fairy tales, longer works of fiction that sometimes think they want to be novels--but I have a passion for plays, and I hope that someday I will finish my grand opus (:laugh:) and get it produced somewhere-- even if it's just my own backyard! I really like dialogue that is tersely-written and laden with unspoken meaning, but I love novels and things like that too, and I have a lot of admiration for the people who can commit to them for that long.

Thanks for asking about my writing! Do you write too? (Or have any other work/calling you're commited too; I don't mean to be a literary snob!)

Edited because I made a typo! Whoops!

You know, I picked that 'cuz I'm a huge Sandy Denny fan and I couldn't come up with a great Stevie/Mac thing that wasn't taken, but now that you point it out, I am gonna be Bushes from this point forward, aren't I? Rats! Foiled again! :laugh:

welcome!!! :wavey: ~

welcome :wavey:

I'm new too, glad I'm not the only one.

Hi and welcome! :woohoo:

Well in that case welcome to you, too! :wavey:

Welcome to both of you actually.. and enjoy your time here... It's a rather interesting place, as I'm sure you know... Never boring!

Welcome! :wavey:

Welcome :wavey:

Welcome to The Ledge, newbies.

Only when I have to :laugh:. Nah, I have written some creative non-fiction for my own purposes, but it's not a regular hobby or a career aspiration. I think your passion for plays is pretty cool though. I admire people who can write fiction and the kind of dialogue you described well. Good luck with your pursuits... I hope we'll get to see that grand opus one day!

By the way, I love the Hepburn quote in your sig.

Welcome, Stevie4ever :wavey:

Hello and welcome from me, too! :wavey:

Thank you for that; I really appreciate it. I have to say, it dawned on me as I was reading your post that you are Tiffany of bluewhitefire.com fame. I love that site; it's one of my favorites, and the lyric allusions page is particularly awesome. It's such an original element of the site, and I think it's given me a lot insight into Stevie's work. But the main thing is your photographs; they are just amazing. If I could capture a moment with my dialogue half as well as you do with your photographs, I'd be pretty damn pleased with that!

Audrey was great, and that movie is my favorite romantic-suspense movie. Are you a fan of it, too?

Wow, thank you :xoxo:. A lot of the allusions came from Lisa (Dark Angel). I'd been keeping a list as I found them for some time, but she discovered all the Evangeline Walton, Wilde, and Poe parallels. She's got a more complete list of references over at inspiredangel.com.

:nod: love it.

A big hearty welcome to Bushes&Briars and Stevie4Ever!
Pull up a comfy chair and make yourselves at home. :)

Sandy Denny? She shows up in the song "Blow Away"!

Welcome from a fellow writer! :wavey:

On a side note - I certainly hope you are of a liberal mind. If not, I'd suggest avoiding some of the threads in the chit chat forum. It can get a bit heated in there. :nod:

They sure do :laugh:

Seriously though, I think anyone can jump in. They better, however be prepared and well read because this is a tough crowd :nod: They also better be prepared with better than a blanket statement like "George W. Bush is the best thing that ever happened to this country - he protects us" or "John Kerry would have been the best thing for this nation because he would better protect us" - that kind of blanket crap just won't fly. Around here, ya better get ready to discuss the facts, which sadly, rarely support anything W has ever done, unless effectively you are really rich, employed, white Christian who has private medical insurance and owns Halliburton stock :eek: BTW - I have the facts to back that up :laugh:

On edit - welcome everyone!

I never really introduced myself either.. My name is John. Im 21 and I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Ive been a fan for a really long time. My mom only owned "Bella Donna" and always felt it was a masterpiece, but never realized that Stevie Nicks was the same person as the singer in Fleetwood Mac. So I grew up jamming to my Bella Donna LP from the age of 4 til THE DANCE came out on MTV. There was so much hype about it, so we decided to watch it. When we did, we fell into love with FM. And after we bought "Rumours" we realized it was the same girl. And so on from there. What can I say? We were never into music til we found Fleetwood Mac! :woohoo:

ok, ill shut up now.

Ahhh... another Kate Bush fan! And I thought we were an endangered breed... ;)

And since everyone seems to be introducing themselves in this thread, may I say a nice "Howdy" to y'all. :wavey: I've quite enjoyed the discussions here!

~Kat

You're quite welcome. :nod:

I've actually somehow managed to miss that page, but I sure will check it out. Good on ya, Lisa, wherever you may be!

You rock.

If you're a Sandy Denny fan on top of being a Stevie fan, I will love you forever. :nod: There are about three of us in the U.S., I think; I had to order her new boxed set from Amazon U.K. because I am that much of a lunatic.

Is "Blow Away" Kate Bush? I have to confess to total Kate ignorance except "Wuthering Heights," which I know via Pat Benatar, and "Don't Give Up" with Peter Gabriel. I mean, I know some of her writing, but very little of her music. :sorry:

youre such a weiner :nod:

But at least I am a big one - hey wait a minute :laugh:
