RL matters - Where do you live? (poll)

[Ahriah]

Ok Im lazy, been putting off posting for quite a bit. Mainly because I am fluent in typo...makes it rather hard for others to follow me...

I was born in July on the 24th day in 1976. 20 days after Bicentennial WOOT!!! I am beginning to see a thread here. (Conspiracy or a bored generation?) I was born in Kokomo, but moved to Nashville, TN when I was 5 months old. Lived there until I was 19 and then moved to Kansas City, MO.

I went to College at a small university with 1100 students (how they managed to be come a university still boggles my mind.) I was a Double Music Major in Education and Music Buisness. Minor in CIS. This was also when I first discovered MUDs, back when gophering was the only way to go   The first mud I was on I sat in the church and chatted for months, didnt even know you could do anything but have conversations. Until some vampire came and grabbed me leveled me up to level 16 in one day and then left. I dont think I ever saw him again. LOL. Half of the computer lab at that time was playing the same MUD. So we all just basically chatted through our classes while the professor slept and figured we were teaching ourselves I guess. Ofc this first MUD wasnt NANNY, I thought it was Igor, but logged in there a while back, but cant seem to recognize anything   , no suprise as this was almost 10 years ago. Anyways I left school after my second year. Another Story for another day perhaps, but not MUD related  

After living in MO for a bit I traveled some, then moved back to TN. Had a beautiful little girl in May 1999, Dont ask me about her or you might live to regret it as once I start I cant seem to quit talking about her. She'll be starting Kindergarten this August, and Im petrified LOL.

I started Nursing School back in Jan 2000, sped through a one year LPN program and Graduated in Dec 2000, my next degree im going to savor, as the speed course was mentally draining and absolutely no fun. I am now a home health nurse and travel quite a bit. Just put in my application to the BSN program at Vanderbilt University and Tennessee State. So prayers are welcomed and appreciated  

I have probably left all the most important and vital things, but if I have left you curious feel freem to ppm me and ask... (that was a hint to get more PPM's   )

I guess I can be very happy with this community (I mean Nanny, and this forum). I think it might be the first and only one I found where the average age is over 20... now I guess I can be a kid myself sometimes, but still, I find it very hard to hit upon a 'normal' (well don't make me to define it    ) community...
Being in IT, I guess I really should find entertainment that is not related to computers, but it's gotta be some kind of disease that got me. It is true, that I'm more comfortable talking to people on the net than in rl. But that's just me; anyway this might be the wrong thread to complain about rl problems. )
My mood is very varying and today I'm not happy I guess.  
This got pretty long and weird. Hihi.. perhaps I shouldn't write down all I think of.  

[Qwer]

Oh yeah, I was born in 77 not 76.. It's so kewl that I am not the oldest around. My friends are generally younger than me, with 1-2-3 years and I feel soo old. On 30th again I will feel very old. I don't like my birhtdays, others are happy and celebrate but I just want it to pass so I can forget about it.  
Was reading some people's 'confessions' about their education, mine is also interesting a bit, took longer than it should've.
I started college in '95 when I finished high school (math-physics), started to attend IT courses. After one year I failed miserably, it was a surprise that they actually expected me to attend classes and learn there. It was a pretty big difference, I mean after the high school, the new curriculum being so much in quantity and much more difficult. Well, six months of selling cement, tiles, lime, paint & stuff for a miserable salary at a small company convinced me that I better learn than do that for an entire life. So in '97 I started college again (actually together with Wolfy). Graduated in 2000, continued for more years some CS-math stuff, graduated again in 2003.. meanwhile started working in 2001 february I believe, as a web-developer.. after got kicked out for some reason (financial problems of the company) in January 2002, I started working for the same university as a system engineer (I found out meanwhile that I don't really like software development, as I was attracted to networks & that stuff) ... for almost two years. Starting Feb. this year I changed my job again, working for some company in Budapest. In the near future I intend to get a CCNA certification (networking stuff), perhaps CCSP too, and if I get CCIE then I'll never talk to you again. (just joking ofc).
Well just some bits of info about me. I don't have an interesting life, or at least I don't find it interesting; but who knows, this might change.
Now that you know me so well which rich Nannymudder wants to adopt me? I'll raise khornes or whatever for you if you do that.

[Labyrinth]

I guess I might as well add that I, too, was born in '76 . I am fast approaching my 28th birthday (april 29th). I feel like an old fart

[Avis]

Me too, 1976. Almost 28. Fear. Been part of this silly community for almost 10 years now.

As far as me, well, those of you who know me already know, but:

Flint (area), Michigan->childhood
Ann Arbor, Michigan->college
Houston, Texas->grad school
Atlanta, Georgia->job
Santa Barbara, California->rest of my life

I'm currently a self-employed software contractor working about half-time and still making more than my parents.  

[Qwer]

My 27th birthday is in a few days also, on 30th. That is the day I'll go back to work. Bleah I should get rich soon, I am getting very old. I worked too much, I deserve the best for the rest of my days.

[Longstrider]

Hmm, I'm an old fart - born in '71.  Was here back in '90 or '91 - cant remember now damn Alzheimers used to be I could remember all sort of things, like that time we hitched up the horses and drove the day into town for supplies, or was it the El Camino to the grocery store? I think it was a cool spring day, before the war, and me and Jimmy Nelson were... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Snort! Hack! Huh? Oh yes. I'm Canadian, married, have 3 critters (1 boy, 1 dog & 1 cat).  I am not an IT guy, but a civil engineer.  I love the outdoors, fishing, hunting, geocaching (www.geocaching.com) and anything generally under the open sky.

[Moonchild]

I was born in Scotland but I now live in the Great White North of Soviet Canuckistan.

[Sharky]

I actually haven't been around Nanny as long as the likes of some here, but I guess I've been around longer than quite a few now, I believe it was 1999 to be specific.-Yavathol

I think it was a bit earlier that that, Yav, since, in 1999, when Sharky was first created, Yavathol was already a big, respected knight.

Now, a few bits of information about me  
I'm 20 (soon to be 21). I'm a student at the Politechnics University in Bucharest, specialising in Computer Science. I have a special interest in networking and computer programming and that's the main reason for why I chose such a faculty.

I always try to find the fun in everything I do and I always try to make people smile.

And one of my greatest desires is to move to Sweden!  

Note to QWER: when you get CCIE, just give the word and we'll celebrate like hell!!! I promise I'll do the same  

[Qwer]

When?
Thanks!!! )

[Bluebear]

I'm in colorado right now, but that'll all change ahahaha.
I'm moving to texas, so i can go scuba diving
Then in august, I'm moving to washington state! wooo
I have a really good rant I want to get going, but i wont until i know how many of you peoples that i lub oh so much are canadian, tell me!

[Qwer]

Don't lub me. I'm not.

[Sharky]

When?
Thanks!!! )

A little encouragement never hurt anyone.  
Besides, I know how hard it's supposed to be... CCIE is one of my goals in life, too.

[Laysha]

Oooohhh....it seems I am the baby here. I am 17, born 1987.

I live in Dorset which is on the very south coast of England. We get the best weather here, if you like the sun, of course.  

I am currently studying Business and Economics, English Literature, Drama and Theatre Studies and Psychology at 6th Form College and I hope to study law at University.

I will be taking a year out from work/schools etc. next year and I will be travelling around Europe. So if any kind Nannymudder would like to put me up for a few days, i'd be very grateful indeed!  

You can find a pic of me in the Pics section of Snafu's site, but a few of you have it anyway.    I'll try and get a few more on there soon.

Erm...I play the piano and guitar and I also sing. But only when forced into it or paid.  

That's about all I can think of for now.  

Laysha. xx

Ah, I remember when I was 17... No wait, I don't!!!
