[tommer]

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 ). 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.

[laurie816]

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

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

[DrummerDeanna]

I'm Deanna, I'm a drummer Though I'm not actually drumming for anyone at the moment....

I'm 24 and a senior in college, I'm graduating in May!!! My area of study is broadcast journalism (radio, NOT TV) I've been working as a news reporter at our local NPR affiliate for three years now, and can't wait to do it full-time..though I'll be willing to take any job that's in the news industry...

I worked for commercial radio for a couple of years and hated it very much...so I hope to never do that again!

My favorite bands/artists: Fleetwood Mac (Stevie is my favorite)
The Beatles (Paul is my favorite)
Josh Joplin Group
Simon and Garfunkle
Sarah McLachlan (a HUGE pet peeve of mine is people who pronounce her name McLaughlin...)
Sheryl Crow
Cat Stevens
Tom Petty
Matchbox Twenty
Counting Crows....
and many more!!

Favorite movies: Gone With the Wind
Star Wars Trilogy
Steel Magnolias
Heavenly Creatures
Forrest Gump

[Bella Figura]

My real name is...Mary...I was named after God's mom...born in the Bronx, raised in the 'burbs by my Irish Catholic folks. both Mom and Dad immigrated from Ireland in the 60's.

I'm a woman and this year I'll be 40!!! so feel free to offer condolences when my name pops up on the Ledgie birthday list in October of this year

I'm your basic NY DINK. I have a hubby, dog and cat and house.

I've told my story many times before but I have been a fan since Rumours, I've been to many of FM and Stevie concerts. FM has always been my favorite band but I did not become fanatical until the advent of the Internet. I've been a Ledgie since the Dance but decided to unlurk back in 2000. and I still haven't broken 1000 posts...

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

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 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...

[Ali]
