duh!

maybe i should go first since I posted this

well, my name is Juli. I work for NBC sports and Olympics. I went to Fordham University and I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering (from Polytechnic University) and a degree in English Literature.

I'm 26, divorced but dating the most wonderful man in the world.

And I am a HUGE movie buff and could spend hours just watching movies. I LOVE MOVIES

i'm unbelievably optimistic and rarely let stuff get to me...but even i have an off day

ok...you go now

what do you do for a living?

I'm a communications representative for the Michigan Department of Transportation

how old are you? 26

where did you go to school?

grand valley state university. my major is in journalism. i was going to be the sports editor of our college newspaper, but got an internship at MDOT and the rest is history.

are you married, dating, single?

engaged to be married on july 10 this year

what do you like to do on your down time?

watch movies also. my fiance and i watch at least 5-7 movies a week. we always buy dvds, and have over 200 of them. i can't stand going to theaters, so it's great. we recently got a 52" wide screen tv, and LOVE watching movies on it.

we also like to workout together. rarely (i mean like three times over the past year) do we work out alone. it's great and completely motivating.

i read like crazy also. i love comparing books to movies as well.

we also have a doggie Max (big black Lab, part bear I swear) that's our baby.
what makes you tick?

not sure yet what makes me tick. i'll not cry at movies, but will cry reading books. if someone insults me, i'll cry and not get mad. i'm not that great at expressing my opionion or sticking up for myself, but my outspoken fiance is teaching me the how-tos and benefits of doing just that.

i'm a sucker for puppies and can't stand people who wallow in self pity. i have four aweseome friends and three of those are my fiance, my mom and my sister. family is everything to me.

Hi Julee!

Well, my name is Melissa. I will be 23 years old on June 20. I have worked at Boeing since I turned 20. I am currently an Office Administrator, but just got a promotion to an HR Specialist. I start a week before my wedding, on May 7.
I'm currently going to school to get my degree in Organizational Leadership (it's like an HR degree). I only have 39 credits left (almost a SENIOR!)
I have also been with my fiance since I've worked at Boeing, over 3 years. I love him very much. We bought a house near my job when I was 21 years old.

I have 2 cats that I also love very much. My fiance and I are going to start trying for a baby next month. I am SOO ready!
In my down time, I exercise a lot. I have about 25 videos that I rotate every day (kickboxing, aerobics, all kinds), and I lift weights and do abs. I also ride my stationary bike every day.
I also love to read, and have read about 60 books since November (no lie, and this is with getting all A's in school at the same time). I read while I'm on my bike.

I also LOVE animals! I donate to numerous charities. I feel so sorry for them because they are so innocent and adorable.
Let's see....what else? Oh, I also love to sing, and I am always singing. But I really hate dancing, and my fiance loves it.

Anyway, that's about it!

My name is Lana. I am 25 years old and currently work as an administrative assistant although I really love my sales position that I gave up to cover a maternity leave.

I will be going on my own maternity leave at the end of this week for one year (which I am a little nervous about)

I went to school in a small town in the province. I never went to college or anything because I just don't have the attention span....If a bird flew by the window my thought process is done LOL

I am married and have been married for two years on June 22 to a wonderfully, hilarious man!

In my down town I love scrapbooking although since I have been preg I have been so tired and maybe completed 5 layouts, tops! But it's my passion and I love it...I get goosebumps just thinking about going down and scrapping my day away LOL

What makes me tick? Well, I would say for the most part I am pretty easy going. Things don't get to me all that much. Except if someone is mean to one of my friends...then look out...I am like a big mama bear that way LOL

I love to be surrounded by friends and family and couldn't imagine my life without them! I consider myself quite blessed to have the wonderful support system I have.

The End.

what do you do for a living?
officially, i work for the phone company as a "customer service clerk" which means i sit in front of a computer all day slowly dying of boredom. unofficially, i am a chocolatier and hope to make that my official job within the next 6 months or so.
how old are you?
25.
that's a lie.
where did you go to school?
i went to Towson Univiersity, right here in Maryland. same school my grandmother went to, my father, and one of my brothers! (oh, and his wife!) i went as a kid of 18 and studied Studio Art, then am currently enrolled as an Art History student (but not attending due to health issues). in the meanwhile, i became a licensed American Sign Language interpreter at a local school. i'm a woman of many talents!
as you may guess from my original spelling of the word above, i never graduated from the Univeriersity.
are you married, dating, single?
single as the day is long...
what do you like to do on your down time?
read, paint, play on the IBS boards, play with my niece, cook, make chocolates, eat chocolates, check out new restaurants, root for the O's, knit, dream about moving to the beach, have a cosmopolitan or two and flirt with boys.

what makes you tick?
seeing my niece keeps me positive about life, dreaming about living at the beach one day keeps me moving forward, and chocolate fuels me!

I didn't realize you worked for Boeing... my husband was a Software Engineer there (in one of the big teal buildings) for a couple of years. He left in October when we moved to Austin. Do you ever go to Dressel's? That was our most favorite spot in St. Louis... we miss it.

i'm tired, still, but not as much as i had been. that desperate feeling is gone!!! they put me on a low-dose tricyclic antidepressant which is supposed to encourage deep sleep and i must say, i do believe it's working!
i've got an appt with a rhumatologist at the end of the month so they can tell me i've got fibromyalgia.
but i am definitely feeling like i'm on the mend!

how are you and your wonderful boyfriend!?!?!?!
