Introductions
 
Since there are so many new posters here, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves.

I'm Janet- I have been a lurker on The Ledge for several years and only began posting a couple of years ago. I'm 39 and a longtime fan of FM/Stevie. I became a touring fan in 1986 when I first saw Stevie at Jones Beach for the RAL tour and have been to every tour since then (except this most recent one!). Sadly, I've only seen FM on the SYW tour- 3 times.

I am in graduate school, getting my masters degree in social work. I graduate in May of 2008 and will take my licensing exam so that I can work in private practice as a therapist. My longterm goal is to work with adult survivors of incest and child abuse.

I'm married and have a 13 year old step-son. That's all I can think of for now (it's enough, I know). Here I am:

Hello.
 
I'm Brian, I'm 37 (Though I feel like I am in my mid 20's) and been a Fleetwood Mac fan since I was 5 years old. I can remember hearing "Rhiannon" on the AM station in my Dad's car way back in the mid-70's.

Although I am a diehard metal-head I always liked Fleetwood Mac and especially Stevie Nicks. In 2001 when Stevie released TISL I decided to join the Ledge, which was 6 years ago last month. Been wise-cracking ever since.

I am currently married, but will be separating in the very near future. I rediscovered my true love from years past Christy (Who signed up here on her own accord and posts over here under the name 'nickay') via myspace...My life is now whole and complete, and I am in love!!!

I applied for a job as a welding trainee/assembler today, wish me luck in getting that job!!!

I'm usually not that grumpy lookin', but being at my Mom's grave does make me feel otherwise...

You're supposed to attach PICTURES! I'll have to remove mine so that I don't appear vain, I suppose. :rolleyes:

LikeAWillow 07-09-2007 06:08 PM

Nobody's perfect. I'm Nobody. That's really all there is to it.

...

Okay, my name's Marissa, I'm 17, and I promise I'm not that much of an asshole. I've loved Stevie since I was five years old and first thought that Edge of Seventeen was called "Just Like the One We Heard." If anyone's wondering, believing that to be the title made explaining what song I was talking about quite a bitch. Who's on First, anyone?

I'll be a senior in highschool next year and I pop in an out of the ledge from time to time. I have four dogs, the best friends a girl could ask for, and my favorite book of the moment is Henry James- Portrait of a Lady.

Oh and I adore Sharon Celani, somedays more than Stevie Nicks. I'm okay with that.

Here's me with Lindsey Buckingham:

Thanks, same to you. Now we really need more pictures so it's not just us patting ourselves on the back on looks. :cool:

mikeschmike 07-09-2007 06:17 PM

This is fun!

I'm Mike. I'm 24, and keeping it real in the midwest. I work as a supervisor at a medical billing office, and get to be the guiding light for 18 little lovelies. Lord help us all...;)

Anyway, I've been a member here for about two years now. I've been throwing out cheesy one liners ever since, so beware. The next one might be for youuuuu! Also, I am addicted to the usage of commas. Deal.

Stew_Matthews 07-09-2007 06:40 PM

I'm Stew Matthews - a bit obvious I guess:D

I'm 28 and an engineer for the Chinese oil firm Sinopec. I usually work in Siberia and the Arctic, plus a couple of other attractive places in the Middle East, which is why I can't post as much as I would like.

I started out listening to Stevie Nicks and then drifted into Fleetwood Mac. I managed to see Lindsey in Boulder earlier this year and will see Stevie at the end of this month which will be wonderful.

This is the photo of me that normally lives in the picture thread:-

And you were awesome enough that Michelle risked our lives to take a picture of graffiti for you. If that's not a biography fact, I don't know what is. :lol:

ryan8472 07-09-2007 06:55 PM

Oh boyyyy, I love these threads. :p

Okay, well, I'm Ryan and I'm 18 (going to be 19 on Friday) and from Connecticut. That's next to New York and below Massachusetts. It kinda blows, even though we're richer than everyone else. ;) Anyways, I love music (no, really? :mad: ) and Fleetwood Mac is one of my loves. I enjoy all sorts of music, tbh. When I'm not wasting my time on here, I'm probably either working or at a ball game. I work at a nursing home and I prepare people's meals. Yeah. :cool:

I'm going to be a sophomore in college this fall (barely). I'm studying history and alcohol so far. :rolleyes: I'm single, yet engaged to Greg, so all you Ledgies, BACK OFF >:|. Besides that, if you know any hot guys between the ages of 9 and 12, have them hit me up some time. :laugh: Besides music, I'm a big New York Yankees fan, but I think I'm gonna start watching tennis soon. -________-

That's about all I can really think of really. Maybe I'll edit my life story some time. Whatev. Here's what I look like, as if the older Ledgies forgot. :p

michelle2677 07-09-2007 07:24 PM

hi, i'm michelle. according to carrie, i'm in my late 20's .

I'm a dental assistant and have been at my current office for 10 years. I have 2 sheltand sheepdogs, murray and max, both of whom I love dearly. they are my little angels. I also volunteer part time for the local humane society, play tennis and tell gross dental stories in my spare time. Love Grey's Anatomy and Sex and the city, and I feel like I'm filling out a match-maker form :lol:

I've been a member of the ledge coming up on 2 years now, and have been a FM fan since 2000. I've seen Fleetwood Mac twice, lindsey once and stevie once (last week). and that about sums it up.



oh, and I'm from kentucky

Lisa1769 07-09-2007 10:15 PM

I'm Lisa. I'm 38 years old and live about 50 miles east of Kansas City, in a small town. I have a son Tyler who just turned 15. I've been married to my second husband for 11 years. He is 12 years older than I and has 3 sons. So, I am a young Grandma, with 6 grandbabies.

Our family is in the construction business. I met my husband while I was waitressing and he was putting in a water line in my hometown. All those years of pouring coffee paid off! I now run my own business selling highway construction materials.

Music is what keeps me sane. I enjoy fishing, arrowhead hunting, gardening, and my kitty cats. Tyler says when I get old I will be the neighborhood cat lady.

Tyler and I at his 8th grade graduation.

Miss Vicky 07-09-2007 11:25 PM

My name is Victoria. I've been a Ledgie for about two and half years now. Sometimes I post often, other times I may go days, weeks or - in recent times - months without posting. I'm 26 years old and have been a fan of the various members (to varying degrees) since about 1991. My main current interests in the band revolve around Lindsey Buckingham, Billy Burnette, and Bekka Bramlett. I'm also a big fan of certain "peripherals" like Walter Egan and Warren Zevon. My biggest musical love, however, is and always will be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

I've been working for about two years now as a receptionist/assistant for a local veterinary hospital (and have worked at two other veterinary facilities in the past), though I have no interest in a career in the veterinary field. I do, however, have a deep love of animals, and my family includes two cats (Dunlop and Tiny Tim), a rat (Cyclops), four Oriental Firebelly Toads (Ernie, Esmerelda, Jade, and Marvin), and a betta (Dude).

My biggest passion (and biggest frustration) is fictional prose and I've spent the better part of seven years trying to perfect my first novel - titled Erratic Circles. It's still in need of some work, but it has progressed immensely (thanks, in great part, to the input of several fellow Ledgies) in the last year or so and I'm hoping to begin shopping in earnest for an agent and/or publisher very soon.

I'm cool. We should hang sometime...
 
My name is Sarah. I'm a true-blue Okie currently living in Tennessee. I'm a
future sound engineer going to school at MTSU. I'm interning at a studio in Nashville this summer which means I answer phones and make Starbucks runs for all the country and rock stars that come in to the studio. I like soccer, music, Zaxby's chicken, and, of course, Fleetwood Mac. I party like a rockstar (or at least that's what I like to tell myself) and sleep in like a diva.

I'm 21 and have been a Mac fan since I was 11. I've seen Stevie four times, Fleetwood Mac four times, and Lindsey twice in concert.

I have a cat named Max Power (Simpson reference) who is spoiled rotten.

Here's me at work in Oklahoma:

Chrislit18 07-10-2007 10:38 AM

Hey, Im Christine. Im going to be 15 on the 18th of this month. Im gonna be a sophomore in high school. I tell people I was named after Christine McVie of FM-because everyone asks me who knows i like FM. I just started getting into the Mac in August of 2006, and Ive seen Lindsey once in March of this year. I asked him to sign my Tusk CD, and he did!! :D

I like to buy my music secondhand, it saves me money. I do not have a job. I am too tall for my own good- 5'10''. I hate it. I drink caffeene free coke. I was freaked out that they went back to the red can. I drink a lot of coffee and iced coffee. I am in honors classes and get good grades in school. I love to write.
I do wear glasses, and hate it, I will be getting contacts in Jan 08. And I love to wear boots, that was even before the FM obsession came on! i plan on being Stevie for halloween again this year :)

oh I almost forgot! I have 2 cats, and love them to death. one attacks me but i dont care :laugh:. my guy friends call me catwoman.
I like to make sarcastic remarks, and smack my guy friends when they 'make fun' of me. [yep, only guys, girls i just say nasty comments to]
i could go on and on, but im sick of typing :laugh:
here is the pic of me off of the pic thread, im too lazy to take any new ones :lol:
