Here's mine.
Who are you:
Max

Age:
48 this year

What do you do?
Quality Engineer at a plastics manufacturing facility (16 years).

Where are you from?
Originally Pennsylvania but now in NE Ohio.

Marital status:
Divorce and pretty much have given up on finding a mate.

Kids:
J-Fresh and Duck. J-Fresh (Jordan) 23 computer whiz and Duck (Alissa) 20 waitress. Exceptionally wonderful kids.

Hobbies?
I fancy myself an artist and somewhat limited musician. I almost cut my thumb off about 5 years ago so my bass playing abilities have diminished quite a bit. I also collect vinyl (started in 1972) and have amassed a collection of close to 5,000 lps. I like to challenge myself when it comes to art so I create in Microsoft Paint and fine tune with Paint.Net (Photoshop clone). I have created artwork for locals bands back in the day and have painted in the past. I had a couple of paintings stolen from an exhibit about 10 years ago and I hung up my brushes.

Obviously you like new wave music…what else do you listen to?
I’m mighty picky when it comes to anything after 1985 but I do like some electronic stuff and if it’s really out there like Messer Chups or the Tiger Lillies then I’m all over it. I also have quite a collection old krautrock which is what I listened to prior to punk / new wave.

Favorite TV shows:
Well, I don’t watch much but when I do it’s usually a documentary or biography. I do fancy Whose Line and Top Gear plus any kind of British comedy particularly Red Dwarf or any Python related stuff.

Last movie you saw:
I just saw Watchmen and thought it was pretty good. I like stuff like Pi, Sin City and old Pink Panther comedies with Peter Sellars. Steve Martin pretty much sucks as the Inspector though.

Claim to fame?
I was present when Stiv Bator and Joey Ramone met in Youngstown Ohio behind the Youngstown Agora. Stiv was from Girard Ohio which is between Youngstown and Niles where I live.

Anything else you have to say?
No, not really….I’m a pretty nice person who has no need for organized religion and my major pet peeve is inconsiderate people. You’re not the only person on this planet so think before you do something that might have some impact on others. Thank you and good night.

Birdmadgirl

I just turned 35 *sobs*

What do you do?
I am a freelance graphic designer. I design 6 magazines and I also do a lot of work for a marketing company--things like advertisements and posters.

Born and raised in Texas. Have lived in Las Vegas for 3+ years now.

Marital status:
In the early stages of a separation and, eventually, divorce.

Hobbies?
I run around with my Nikon and play photographer when I have spare time. I also have played the trombone for 22-ish years. I also play Guitar Hero with my kids all the time--to the point to where I have calluses on my fingers. I like to let loose my inner rock star. [:D]

Obviously you like new wave music…what else do you listen to?
Other than NW, classical. Oh, and an embarrassing amount of crap (hair bands, mostly).

Favorite TV shows:
"Desperate Housewives" "Project Runway" "Top Chef"

Last movie you saw:
I watched the latest X-Files movie on pay-per-view recently. It sucked. I love the t.v. show and am working my way through all the seasons with my son, but the show really does not translate well into movies.

Claim to fame?

Anything else you have to say?

<p align="justify">Who are you: [b]XXX.[/b]

Age:

What do you do? [b]I break rock under 120-degree weather for the County of Orange. I mainly work on dodging responsibility, hard work and effort, and most people throughout the day. It's a difficult task - probably harder than doing actual work. My work motto is "they pretend to pay me, I pretend to work".[/b]

Where are you from? [b]I spent some of my childhood in latin America, but have lived in SoCal most of my life.[/b]

Marital status: [b]I don't make shit and am attracted to white and asian chicks mostly (mexicans in North America look absolutely revolting). If I don't land a girl in South America, I'll be perpetually-single by default.[/b]

Kids: [b]Hellno.[/b]

Hobbies? [b]I don't think it's really a "hobby" as much as it is an obsessive-compulsive drive to collect movies, music, and books. I also like to visit the museums, theatres, zoos, and aquariums throughout SoCal. I could probably give tours at the LACMA and MoCA.[/b]

Obviously you like new wave music…what else do you listen to? [b]I'm a collectro. I collect (and listen) to a lot of music not only of different genres, but in different languages as well. I like Spanish Romantic, Salsa, Cumbia, Vallenato, some Bolero, some Bachata, some Mariachi; J-Pop and Japanese soundtracks; Korean Indie and K-Pop; Chinese Pop; BritPop; Schlager; ItaloDisco; Russian Folk; Ethiopiques and other African traditional music. It's weird to say, but I don't listen to Jazz music. I listen to Smooth Jazz, though, hahah. I also don't listen to new Country, Reggae, Spanish Rock, most current Pop (including the bulk of New New Wave), and a few other big odds and ends.[/b]

Favorite TV shows: [b]I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, Dark Shadows, Three's Company, I, Claudius, Married With Children, all of the old Degrassi series, Kimagure Orange Road, Ready Or Not, Spellbinder, the first two seasons of Law And Order, Freaks And Geeks, El Clon/O Clone, Futurama, Toonami and Adult Swim, The First 48, and most detective and true-crime shows on A&E.[/b]
