Hi. I’m megan, but not really.

And yet, I am not a Stephanie, Sara(h), Heather, or Amy/Aimée either.

I'm half-American/half-French, originally from Connecticut and currently living in San Francisco. In my grad school days, when I discovered TT (courtesy of msbelle), I lived between NYC and Paris (and I miss being able to say that). Due to dial-up and school, I lurked for years before becoming a regular poster, although I did attend the first NY F2F at Fiona’s and actually delurked in TT just before the mass exodus. But then I wandered in the desert for more than 40 days and eventually came back just as Phoenix was starting up. After a few years as an assistant professor, I left the ivory tower to work for The Man. I now edit French and Italian textbooks, along with the occasional film project.

I like German-style strategy games, bourbon, and Keanu Reeves. Not necessarily in that order.

I typically hang out in Movies, Non-Fiction, and a few of the other TV threads. I try to keep up in Natter, but work of late has made that difficult (see above re: The Man). I also follow Literary, Music, and Technology, but most of it goes over my head. I think it’s safe to say I’m also the de facto French translator of the board.

Not to brag, but I would bet lots of folding money I have the best toys.

I've got 30+ years of DC character dolls in my basement. IJS.

Do they vibrate?

I'm another Laura. I don't know how long I've been lurking--awhile, but I love to read the show threads (current favorite shows include "Supernatural," "Mad Men," "Project Runway," and "Top Chef.") I think I posted once, possibly twice. As you can see, I have a great memory.

I live in Pittsburgh, PA where I was born but not raised. I was raised in Carlsbad, California. I'm 39, I live with my husband, our two-year old son, and two cats. I'm a legal project editor, and I'm very fortunate to be able to work from home.

I am for the serial comma.

Do they vibrate?

Not since we left California.

Welcome. LW aka Other Laura!

New peoples! This is SO FREAKING AWESOME!!

Not since we left California.

IT WAS NOT A NAUGHTY WORM.

Ahem.

Hi and Welcome, lwadams!

I am unsure of my lurkerhood. People in the Gaming thread may recognize me, and I post about once every Natter thread, so I'm not a consistent member. I also post little enough that I don't know the quick-edit letter for quoting, so I have to do this:

Fred Pete - "I think I'm the only Fred around here. Doesn't make for a very powerful name bloc, but it's easy to come to consensus on anything."

A silly yearly parade that happens near where I live has a regular section that's just "the March of the Freds", and anyone named Fred is welcome to come out of the crowds and join.

So. My name is Thomas and I don't actually follow any of the associated fanverses of this site (never saw Angel or Firefly, had had enough after S1E1 of Buffy), but the witticisms keep me coming back. Camped on the BRQG for a while before starting to follow the site (was originally linked to that by a friend, who has gone by a couple of different names on here, the most recent of which that I know of is StolenCubicle), and don't have much of a presence here even now. I'd like to think I'm fairly friendly and simply don't contribute, like Ice claimed, because of a lack of things to say.

Thank you for supplying this shiny new thread with which to procrastinate from doing my Lit paper.

I love this fucking thread!

Welcome lwa!
