About Me (and you too, I hope)

[WelshWitchPMD]

Hi my name is Pattie. I live in Providence, RI and have been here all of my life. I am an only child and I do act very spoiled at times. I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan since around 1977 when I was 12 years old. I guess that you could say I have been obsessed with them since the Rumours days. I work for a financial institution where I actually now have 2 jobs. I have been with the same company for almost 11 years. I work in back office as a loan dept. CSR and it is a boring job. I don’t have to deal with people in front of me anymore, which I had to when I worked at a branch. I love that part of my job the best. There aren’t that many back office jobs so I am lucky and I have been working there for about 5 years. I recently just got a part-time job with my company working in the computer room. I make some good overtime and I could work anywhere from 4 to 15 hours extra a week depending on my schedule. Even if I only work 4 hours extra a week I would still make more then I would anywhere else working about 15 hours a week. Thankfully I knew something about computers (and I had taken some computer classes at a local college) and I got this job.
I like photography even though I have not done too much lately. I love to take photos at Fleetwood Mac concerts and I have quite a nice collection from the SYW tour. I like trading for Fleetwood Mac shows, demos, etc. I have a trade page. I have gotten into DVD trading now for a few years and I love it. I am eagerly awaiting a Lindsey Buckingham solo tour. I know “don’t hold your breath”.
I think that is about it.

Here is a photo of me with some guy who's shirt I did not like so I gave him a new one.

This picture is 2 years old, but I don't have a scanner anymore and I look pretty much the same.


My name is Sarah. I'm 17 (18 on April 3rd). I live in Alberta, Canada. I don't speak to either of my parents and right now I'm living with an extremely loving, unofficial foster family. I too go to a Catholic High School. I'm surviving it. I want to write a movie about the hilarity of going to a Catholic High School when you're not Catholic (ex. today was Ash Wednesday. I had a spare and missed the service with the ash crosses on everyone's head. So everyone's walking around with these black smudges LOOKING like an idiot, but I FEEL like one because I don't have one and everyone's like "Why didn't you get the ashes???"). I'm a pretty big drama nerd at my school; this year I'm taking Special Projects so that I can be in the class again. I work at a Quiznos and I'm getting really bored there. I want to get into Radio and I'm working on my application for a program for next year.

I got into FM while looking for songs with my name in them. I discovered Sara. I think I initially listened to it and kind of forgot about it. I came back to it and was blown away and got into the other songs and here I am posting my bio on an FM board.

I have huge CD, vinyl, and DVD collections. I have been playing guitar since gr 5 and I own a black Fender Venus and a blue Tak. I sleep with a stuffed elephant. I like bacon.

That's all she wrote.

I'm Chris, I'm 17 years old and I live in Florida. FYI: I hate living in Florida because it is so hot! It was 90 degrees today! So, I plan to move to a cooler climate some time soon.

I'm a senior in high school and only have a couple months before graduation! I'm starting college this fall at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. My intended major is "Hospitality Management". I hope to either be an "events planner"/party planner or to own my own restaurant one day, so that is why I decided on that major.

My favorite person in the entire world is my grandmother! We have a really close relationship. She got me into cooking (my favorite hobby), and she also got me my first Stevie Nicks album! We hang out a lot! She is actually my Step-Grandmother (she is only 45), so I consider her the mother I never had! Which of course pisses off my real mother!

I adore Stevie Nicks! I first saw her in concert on the first leg of the SYW tour. I saw her three more times that tour- I couldn't get enough! Then I saw her a couple of times in Vegas (where I got to hold hands with her and tell her I loved her. Her response: "I know! I know!" lol) So, I've seen her in concert eight times, so I feel pretty lucky.

I'm also a huge movie buff. I have more DVDs than I could ever watch! So, I collect movies! My favorite movie of the moment is Flightplan.

Here is a picture of my best friend and I. As well as a picture of my dog, Maggie! On second thought, Maggie is my best friend!

This is such a cool thread!!

Anyway, I am sorry I 'm not posting a picture - I am not so familiar with scanning and maybe I will ask my fiance to do that later when I get home. But I 'll say a couple of things about myself:

I am 29 years old (soon to turn 30, on June 12th that is) and I am from Athens, Greece. I went to a French/Greek Catholic school. Later, in my early 20's I lived for a year in Oslo, Norway and in northern Germany.
I studied law, which I hated, but managed to find some interest in it later. I have a master's degree in International Private Law (even though I would have prefered Human Rights ) and for the last couple of years I 've been working in a Law Firm run by my ex-professor at the University. Fortunately I have managed not to be become a normal lawyer . My main work consists in helping my boss with his academic stuff, so I have lots of free time .

I am living together with my boyfriend of 7 years, who is a mechanical engineer and is the same age as me.

I became a Stevie fan when Rooms On Fire came out (that is when I was 13) and I also had a general interest in FM. I became a huge fan only later, after the Dance came out. Other music interests include: Leonard Cohen (probably own everything he's ever recorded), Nick Cave&the Bad Seeds, Roxy Music, Placebo, Patti Smith, Lou Reed and even though I 'm not so much into Jazz, I like Billy Holiday and Nina Simone. I also love Baroque music, especially all the Vivaldi violin concertos.

My dream would be to live in a nice house with a garden with lots of kids (not likely since I 'm already 30 with no kids still )and if I could, I would move back to Norway right away..
Things I love
Reading and every book by Iris Murdoch.
"All that Jazz" by Bob Fosse and "The Deerhunter".
Sylvia Plath
Ballet (quit a couple of months ago because I got too tired ),
Playing games with friends at home
Drinking tea from Starbucks
Watching sports (tennis, football and figure skating mostly)
Watching movies with my boyfriend or the Friends Dvds all over again
Things I hate
Noise
Being away from my boyfriend

That's all from me, I am sorry for the long post! Totally love this thread!

I'm Ryan and I'm 17. I live in Milford Connecticut. I hate living here. When I can, I'm SO moving to San Diego. I live at home with my parents and 15 yr old sister. I am THE biggest Yankee fan you will ever meet, bottom line. And of course, I have cute boyfriend named Brad who is a year younger than me. (Don't say it! )

I'm in between jobs right now, but I was a dietary aid in a nursing home previously. And that means what? It means I made sure the patients didn't recieve meals that would kill them. Right now, I'm searching for a new job, because I absolutely hated working where I was.

I got into FM about 5 years ago, when I picked up my mom's Dance CD randomly one night. I never stopped listening to it. I've been to 2 shows, both on the SYW tour. And of course, I'm the only Stevie obsessed kid in my school. Besides FM, I'm also obsessed with Talking Heads, U2, Pink Floyd, Blondie, and such.

I'm headed to college in September (East Conn!), where I want to become a history teacher.

Paula-
In the first pic he kinda has a Lindsey-look to him. He has similar eyes and smile. Have people mentioned that before?

Ok something about me. My name is David Marx, I'm 34, and I live in Minneapolis Minnesota. My hobbies are Music, Primary among those being Fleetwood Mac, The Stereophonics, and The Sundays, and Major league Baseball.I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan since hearing Gold Dust Woman on the radio in the summer of 1977 at the age of 6 and I'm a card carrying member of Red Sox Nation. Yes a Red Sox fan in Minnesota. I love to travel also, having been to every state except Alaska, as well as Europe twice, Australia, and Hong Kong. Between Stevie and Fleetwood Mac, I've seen them 60 times live, as well as 3 times seeing Peter Green. My favorite people are my grandmother Victoria, who came from Germany in 1956, my mother Lisa, and my great aunt Eloise. I wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for them.

As far as work goes, I've worked different jobs, mostly cashiering, but hey it pays the bills. I am also proudly gay, and my boyfriend Derek and I have been together for a year and a half!



If I had to pick a motto for myself it would be "Dont wait for life to come toyou! Go get it!" Also, be kind to others. You may not know when you need that kindness to be repaid.

ahhh yes...that dog. I remember her...what a sweet picture.

I also thought about being an "event planner" but there's not much of a market here so I nixxed that idea.

What breed is she?

She's an American Eskimo.

She is the only reason I decided to stay in Florida for college. Because, if I went out of state I would never get to see her! And, my Dad won't let me take her with me. I've even threatened my parents with a custody battle! That's how obsessed I am with this dog!
