Given that many people on here seem to not have too many friends and feel a bit lonely, I thought if we introduced ourselves, then people might find others with similar interests, etc, so it might work as some sort of booster for people to talk to others. (if this takes off, it might be worth stickying it) I know this is a bit like the introductions forum, but I thought it might be worth trying because not everyone ventures in there, and often the intros threads contain mostly about bunnies, so this might be more general. I don't know. Give it a go!

I'll go first (I warn you though, my internet died, so I just kept typing until it came back, lol, this is looooooooooooooong)

* * * * *

My name is Tracy, although most people on here call me Flashy (probably because they forget my name :p). At the time of writing this I am 24, although in 5 days I am supposed to become 1/4 of a century old, but given that I don't celebrate, nor really even mention my birthday anymore, that's not such a scary thought. I live in the UK, to those that know England, I live on the Suffolk/Essex border. If anyone here knows Essex jokes, that nearly makes me 'Tracy from Essex', talk about clicheed (I don't know how you spell that).

I currently have 14 rabbits, who are all pets. I'm not a breeder, but do a bit of breeding to keep a particular line going, which is that of my beautiful, wonderful Flash. You can find out more about then on my website, which you can find by clicking on my name and then clicking homepage.

I LOVE to play the Wii and the DS. The ultimate game is Mario Kart, in my eyes, but I also love puzzle games like tetris or bust-a-move, and first person shooters too.

I love dancing, and used to teach it at a stage school. That's my passion (other than rabbits), in life. I've done ballet, tap, modern, contempary, line, disco, freestyle, I also went to a part time stage school and was on stage from the age of 5 or so in varying things, and at 14 started to choreograph shows for the company, which I LOVED!

I have a degree in maths, education studies, ICT and technology, yup, that's a mouthful, and as sad as it sounds, I LOVE maths! I also did a teacher training course, but fell six weeks before I would havequalified as a full fledged primary school teacher.

I'm on RO pretty much all day everyday because I am signed off sick, so I spend the whole day harassing the forum. I'm off sick because of long running mental health problems that I am desperate to beat, but am failing to do that . Even though I am on most days, I have a tendency to go AWOL and disappear for lengths of time, so far, I've always come back.

I'm pretty approachable if you don't know me and would always welcome PMs from people. If you're my friend, I would do anything for you, but if you've crossed me, or hurt me then I don't react so well to that, but who does.

I'm more than happy to talk to people, new or veterans, young or less young :p, breeders, pet owners, or just a random in the street. I camp out on chat loads, mostly by myself, so feel free to wander in and say hi!

Before I wander off, I'll leave you with a random fact, and that is that I ALWAYS wear odd socks.

:embarrassed: (I love that smiley, I just had to put it in). Oh, and I have to keep editing this, because I read it and it is total garbage, lol.
 
o_O Great Idea!! Ill start mine now :)

My Name is April and im 14 years old turning 15 On March. I was born in Turkey (Ankara, the capital) I stayed in Turkey for 7 years. My mother is Turkish and my F
ather is African American, thus making me a mix! I can speak Turkish extremly well but i dont really know how to write in Turkish tho i do try. I will openly say i hated living in Turkey due to the fact that my family was "different" making people stare at me in the streets which i didnt like. When i was 3 years old i was asked to model for a childrens company but i refused saying that i needed to go to school:grumpy: (i would takethat back anyday!)

Like Tracey i enjoy puzzels! I am really competitive but i dont show it. When we used to live in Turkey (apartment) we lived on the last floor and one night a burglar broke in while i was in the room (i was 6 or 7) i ran to my room, and later heard the burglar only took a bananna with him... also when i was 4 or 5 me and my mom were home alone and my mom was in the bathroom and the door knob thing fell out and you couldnt open it. So i put up a chair in front of the door (front door) and opened it to ge
t my moms friend who lived right outside and she called the police and they got my mom out.

I like to easily make friends. I love to sing, dance and what ever else. I am very emotional and i scare VERY easily.. My mom is a teacher and my dad is an engineering and they are trying to make me pick either one of their profession when i grow up but i want to be a Dentist or plastic surgeon :)

I dont get embarrassed. I do gooofy things all the time. I will give people second chances, and i choose not to have a religon! And thats bacically all there is to know about me! :)


-April and Bunbuns:biggrin2:
 
Awesome thread! Well, here goes. My name is Sharon. I live in the U.S. specifically Connecticut. Currently I am 31 years old. I raise Dutch and Jersey Woolies and have been doing so since 1991. I currently have 34 rabbits with 2 litters on the way. I also show them and have been to countless shows, nationals, and conventions. I have traveled as far as Kansas for a convention. I don't fly so it was a 26 hour drive.

I too like puzzles. I can lose myself in one real quick. I also like to cross-stitch. Most of my time is devoted to the rabbits though. I am the secretary for two rabbit clubs and that is also very time consuming.

I have a degree in Disability Specialist and I am currently going for my Paralegal Degree.

I am VERY afraid of spiders and clowns. Don't know why clowns but I tend to stay as far away from them as possible. Fear of spiders is because when I was little, my older brother (and only sibling) would find spiders and throw them at me. I hated him for that. Luckily for me, he stopped doing that when he grew up although at times, I still think he needs to grow up.

I was in a serious car accident in 2000. I was ejected out of a Ford Explorer doing 70mph.They thought that I walked away with just a couple of bruises and some road rash but 3 weeks went by and my "whiplash" was still there, also my knee wasn't getting any better. They did more x-rays and found that I broke my neck, specifically the C-2 Axis bone (its the one that allows your head to turn left or right). I had to wear a halo for 10 weeks and made a close-to-full recovery. Still have pain but most likely it is from arthritis. I also had to have 2 surgeries on my knee to remove 9 pieces of glass from it. I am thankful everyday of my life to be given a second chance.

Well, that is all I can possibly think of seeing as it is 9:13am in the morning. My brain is still sleeping :)

I look forward to reading about everyone and I think this should be a sticky!

Sharon
 
Nice thread Tracy. You are sooo good at these. :biggrin2:

Wow April, you sound very mature for your age!

Glad you came out ok from your accident Sharon.

Ok, about me...I am 29yrs old. I was born and raised in NYC. It has provided a lot of opportunities for me but I am ready to move and hopefully will do so after selling my home. My parents are both Dominican and separated before I was born. I have an older brother, 30 yrs and a younger brother, 11 yrs.

I have two boys, my oldest will be 13 in Feb (yup my bro is younger than my son) and my little one is 8. I've been a single parent since right before my little one was born so a little over 8 yrs.

I've put myself through college majoring in legal studies and will finally have my bachelors at the end of the next semester! May or may not go to law school. Not sure yet.

I LOVE to sing and dance. I took ballet for a bit when I was 8-9 yrs old. now that i don't have anymore Sat. classes, I'm looking into taking some salsa classes. It just clears my mind.

I hate video games though just the other day, I found myself standing outside of the Nintendo World store at 6 am for 3 hrs in the snow and rain to TRY to get a Wii with my boys. They were the ONLY kids there! What a mom huh? I mean, everyone was getting it for Xmas but my motto is, if I have to suffer...so do you! They LOVED it and we got it! This is the ONLY game system I will play. So we have that in common Tracy!

I have my two wonderful buns, Thumper & Peaches who I am in the process of bonding. Thumper is quite difficult. And yesterday we added Max in our home...a hamster who is soooo cute!
 
My name is Michaela, and I am 16 years old. I live in Northern Ireland, and can truthfully say I hate it, I want to live somewhere else when I'm older, but I want to go to uni here. I am boring and weird, so feel free to not read this. :p

I go to a grammar school and it's considered the top in NI, and high up in the whole Uk too I think. I'm in my GCSE year. I'm expected to get an A* in most subjects, which makes me really nervous. :?

I've been raised Catholic, but in truth I wouldn't call myself one.

When I'm older I want to be either a dentist, doctor or vet, most likely not vet because I can't do it in NI, I'd have to go to Dublin or England.

I'm very self-concious, and am told I'm very paranoid. I find it difficult to talk to people I don't know well.

I spend too much time on the Internet, here and Neopets.

I'm very fussy about foods. I don't like sauces on things, and don't like foods to touch each other at all. My worst foods are onions, mushrooms, all vegetables, cheese and mayonaise. But there are many, many more that I will not eat.

Lots of smells make me puke; BO, mint, vanilla, dark chocolate ...

I am deathly afraid of spiders.

I am always cold.

I love Fall Out Boy.

I love the film the Nightmare Before Christmas.

I love Christmas! But I hate Easter and Halloween.

I also love the Nintendo Wii, and I love the DS too, I have to get a new one for Xmas though, seeing as my little brothers broke my last one in half fighting over it.

I can't think of anything else about me, sorry for all the rubbish. :?



 
April, make sure you do the job that you want to do, not what anyone else wants you to do. I would NEVER have guessed about being half Turkish, that's very cool, and it's even more cool you can speak it :D

Sharon, that sucks about your neck. I'm glad you got it sorted in the end, sounds like a close shave.

Thumpers_mom, the wii seems to bring out the gamer in anyone and everything because it is the most hilarious console ever. I'm glad you managed to get one, LOADs of people have struggled. What games have you got?

Michaela, that wasn't boring, and neither are you. Infact, I found it really interesting,don't put yourself down. I hope you get your DS for Christmas :)

Yes it does...right now we only have the Wii sports, which I LOVE, Sonic and the secret rings (haven't played that yet) and Mario Strikers Charge (which is fun too). What games do you have? What do you recommend?

Wii sports is a GREAT game. Sonics good too, but only when you play with lots of people (in my eyes). I haven't got that Mario game.

We also have Koro Rinpa, which is ace, but VERy frustrating, bust-a-move, which I love and Rayman Raving Rabbits (which is hard but fun to watch someone do), Red Steel (which is beyond me), Zelda (which doesn't interest me, but I enjoy watching it) and Monkey Balls Super Banana Blitz, which is fun, but only if you are in the mood.

We'll be getting some more at Christmas, and I can't WAIT for Mario Kart to come out.

It's a really good way to get people interested at family gatherings and stuff.

Super Mario Galaxy (or something like that) is cool. It throws off your balance. It is worth it.

Sharon
I've got that for my brother for Christmas, glad to hear it's good :)
 
oh oh...i see that I'm going to be getting a few of those! I really do love the system but sometimes my arm gets sore from playing! :pOh wells, I guess I'll get used to it. Mario Kart and Super Mario Glaxy sound awesome.
 
I had a sore wrist for months, lol. but it's worth it.
 
Neat here it goes

I am Fran, I live in the United States in Pennsylvania (near the puppymill capital of the East Coast :grumpy:) . I am 32 :cry4:and a stay at home mother to 3 human boys ages 8 (will be 9 in Jan) , 3 1/2, 1 (will be 2 in Jan). I am married to my high school sweetheart. I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 2 bunnies, 3 guinea pigs, 1 bearded dragon. I am a busy person,lol. I live in a 200 year old house that we have been in since dec of last year, i moved out of the city and into the burbs in 2004where i am loving it. My parents live next door to me, the house is a single house with a sort of inlaw suite thing. My sister is married to a man that most of us hate, :bangheadbut what can i do?

I got my first bunny off of CL in Feb and then added another bun in Aug, they are now bonded, and we are working on the mounting and hair pulling , which is getting better. I LOVE MY BUNS. Sooty will spend the winter inside with us loving him and that makes me happy. :woohoo I spend some saturdays at the local Pets Plus protesting about puppy mills and the pet stores selling puppies. I dont shop at petstores that sell puppies, and am even gettin away from going into petsmart because they sell small animals. I dont agree with breeding piggies, rabbits or any animal for that matter. I go to other message boards :whistling and i am getting aggravated with all the stupid capitalization rules there, :crazinessbut i dont pay for the site so i dont get to do what i want, and i understand that ,lol. I am a foster mom for a guinea pig rescue and right now have a bonded pair of guinea pigs and a single piggie. The pair are seniors so i will most likely have them forever, and the other one is a mean bitter that i will probablly have forever,lol. I got my mom into it and she has been doing it for only about 4 months and has already had 3 go through her house,lol.

my favorite color is purple. My favorite show is roseanne and buffy the vampire slayer. my favorite movie is Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil,Halloween, and Christmas vacation. My favorite holiday is christmas.

I still dont know what i want to be when i grow up. I have been a dog groomer at a petsmart many ,many years ago, and i also had a petsitting buisness when i was living in the city. When i decide that i am going to do something i do it. I like to read, but dont have time, i make cozy bags for guinea pigs. I hate doing white wash. all those socks to match and underwear to fold, i hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom never has anything nice to say. I am a moody person. I have only one friend at a time, well one good friend, this has always been for as long as i can remember.



I dont, and cant , lie to save my life,lol i feel lying takes way to many brain cells that i cant spare so i dont. I have been told that this is what people like in me. :hug1 I need to loose weight,lol, we have a WII for christmas so i am hoping to get my buy moving and the weight to move off my body,lol. I need to get a part time job after the holidays to get some money back into our savings. If you piss me off too many times i will just write you off forever. So far i have written off my grandmother, my uncle, my aunt and her waste of a daughter, and my brother in law,lol, aint i lovely. If i dont like you it is next to impossible for me to pretend to like you, again that takes too much effort and energy to pretend so i will just be done with you. Most people are taken back at me because they say i look mean :devil but I am funny and when i like you , you get to see the softer side of me,lol.



Now that i have made myself look like a horrible person i will go now :roflmao:





These are my favorite emotioncons :stikpoke:run: and i like these two too:roflmao::toast:
 
Hey! :D Great thread Tracy!

My name is Leanne, and I am 15. I go to high school and really enjoy math, science (chemistry and biology) and drama. I've been taking Drama for 3 years now, and really enjoy theatre.

I can be awkward and shy around people I don't know well. It's hard for me to be myself with people I don't know, but if it's a friend or family member,I am very silly.

I have a severe nut allergy that I almost died from when I was a toddler. I had eaten something with walnuts (I think?.. could have been another nut) and wasn't feeling well so went to bed. I woke up and mom said my face was really swollen and puffy, so she rushed me to the hospital. The doctor said if I hadn't woken up I would have died.

I'm not sure exactly what I would like to be after high school.. but I've been thinking of a career in veterinary medicine as a vet tech. I'd love to be in a job where I could help change the lives of people and animals.
 
Hehe, this is fun :).

Okay, well my name is Silvie. I turned 13 two months ago. I currently live in the suburbs of Chicago. We are looking to move into the city in the near future though! I was born in Oak park, Illinois.

I am Estonian (a tiny country near Russia), and Irish. I am petite, and only weigh like 80 pounds.

In my free time I enjoy playing violin, and dancing. I have been playing violin for 5 years, and really love it. I do hip-hop dancing, and it totally completes me!

My family isn't very 'traditional'. My mother is a treeh-hugging hippie acupuncterist, and has been practicing for 20 years. My dad is a trader, but is currently on a little 'sabbitical'. So is my mom!

My family is extremely into music, and I have had 4 concerts at my house. Most people find it strange that I was born at home, and yes, it was on purpose.

Im pretty much your average kid, I like to hang out with my friends, go to the mall or movies, etc. Besides coming on here alot, I tend to not use very much technology, and prefer to use that time just thinking about things with myself, or playing with my bunnies.

Some people call me an old-soul, and freespirited. Sometimes I feel like I am much older in my head :shock:!

Haha, ok, bye!
 
Ooo good idea Tracy!:D

I'm Jess and I am 17 years old. I can be a little shy when I first meet people, although I quickly warm up to people, and my friends and family will tell you that I am crazy, love to laugh and have a good time, and am often known to cry with laughter I laugh so hard!:p

I go toa local comprehensive school to which I just changed to in Septemberas it has a brilliant 6th form and gets great results. I absolutely love it there, and have re-made friends with lots of friends from my primary school, including my best friend from when I was 3 years old. She is the funniest, kindest, wittiest person I know and my best friend in the world,however she has an incredibly rare kidney disease which causes her a lot of pain, which is incredibly hard for me to watch her go through and notbe ableto doanything to help.:(

I love my friends and family - and they are the most important thing in my life. I am also a very loyal person to those who I love, so if anybody tries to hurt them watch out!;)

I'm doing A levels at the moment and am taking 4 AS modules (very big important exams:shock:) in January whichI amextremely nervous about!:?I am studying History, English literature, English language and Psychology, all of which I love and hope to do very well in (although the psychology teacher is sooo boring:X).

I have an older brother (23) and sister (25) whom I am very close to - especially my sister. However she is moving to France for a month in January so I am going to miss her so much!:( My brother lives in one of the many parts of London being a Journalist so I don't see him much either - although hopefully he can get a new job soon and move further up North!

I love creative writing, reading, acting, hanging with friends, horseriding (and caring for my horse Smokey:D), playing and caring for Ollie (cat) and Millie (rabbit of course!:p).

I would never have though that Michaela - hand on heart you are one of the funniest, warmest people I know. Don't put yourself down hun.:hug:
 
My name is Alice and I am 18 years old. According to everyone else I am a very boring person, but I love my life.
First and formost I am a Christian. It is hard to discride why God means so much to me, but without him I would probably be dead.

I was homeschooled all the way up and have never set foot in a highschool. My first time going to school was last August when I started college. I did pretty good and got all A's. I do need to work on math though.

I love animals. Although I am going to school to become a business attorney, I want to have a ranch that I can use to help teach kids about animals. I have ridden horses for five years, and still love it.
I have a dog, two rabbits, two finches and a sulcata tortoise. I want more pets, but the parents say no.

I have one sister and two brothers. My siblings and I are all very close in age. My parents are celebrating their 25th wedding anneversary the day before new years eve.
My dad is a business professor and wants all of us to get an education that will help us make money.

I am not very good about posting, but lurk here every day.

I like to read, but listen to most books on tape so I can draw, carve, or sculpt while I am listening. I especially like fantasy. My friend and I are writing a fantasy book and have gotten around 20,00 words on it. Unfortunatly we always redo it so I am not sure if we will ever finish it.

I enjoy drawing, carving, and sculpting with clay. Currently I have a sculpted head who is grinning at me telling me to create him a body, but I am not sure how. Any help woud be appriciated, lol.

that's a hilarious sentence.

I'm loving reading about people and learning things I never knew!
 
oh, okay. . .

my name is katie, or katt on the forum, i often am called one of these names. i am 20 and live in michigan (northern lower). i have 2 older sister (one just got married this summer, the other just had a baby in october), and a younger brother.

i am often called 'hippy-ish' i have been known to run thru the forest just after a rain barefoot, climbing trees, picking wildflowers. i am currently not in school, just haven't gotten there yet.

i live away from my parents, they are only a 1/2 hour drive, and we all work at the same hospital (just in different departments). i am often called open-minded, and down to earth.

i have a lot of emotional problems (it only took 6 years to be able to say that out-lound) and suffer from general and social anxiety disorders and it has been questioned if i am bi-polar. i live daily working on myself, and have devoted a great deal of my time recently to bettering people on how to handle being around people like me (with mental issues). when people call me open-minded, and down to earth i tell them it is because i have been at the bottom, and realize that life is a complete and total blessing. i look back on the person i was and see lost youth, and being out of that (or well, recovering from that) has shined so much light into my life. i still have off-days, i still have panic attacks, and lots of issues with allowing people to get close to me.

i am not religous, i was a 5 year old athiest, that didn't understand the concept of 'god', the only times i have been to church was for a wedding or a death. i celebrate christan holidays to a point with my family, and also celebrate wiccan holidays (we just celebrated yule! what fun was that).

i was a 'punk rock princess' during high school, and now have settled happily into just being me.

i live with my best friend, we get along so well it is scary. i am not dating anyone, although i have a guy friend that i am extremly close to.

i did 4-h during high school, and got heavily into breeding rabbits and showing them around the state. that was were my friends were. i never went to parties, or school-dances, i missed my prom for a rabbit show, and did so happily. i no longer breed, and don't think i ever will again after losing my heart bunny at an early age from what i feel was over breeding her. have have had many pets, and taken in many rescues, and love animals lots.

i enjoy reading, and don't watch tv except from movies once in a while. instead i lose myself in books. i have so many that we no longer have room for them on our shelves and they are gathered around the house in random piles, baskets, and groupings. i also enjoy art, but have had problems with my medication that has caused me to stop drawing, a pain that makes daily life hard. i collect random animals statues, i photograph everything, and i love to hear stories about peoples lives.

i am always open for talking, but am often shy at first.

if anyone ever needs a friend, has mental issues that they want to talk about, problems with parents, friends, ect i am ALWAYS there for them, no matter if it is my best friend, or a complete stranger.

okay, i will stop now
