Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic All FoLCs in for a "get to know you" poll!

1. What does your board name mean?

When I was younger I had training in classical piano. I still love the piano and classical music. I also consider myself a classy and classical kind of lady. Also, I used to be very paranoid about posting my real name on the web, but I’ve since found out that if anyone truly wants to know who you are they can find out.


2. Where do you live, and what is something you love about that place?

I live in northeastern Kentucky. And as Catherine said, “I live with my mommy.” I moved back in with my mom after my dad died because she was lonely and begged and had never ever been alone. She got married when she was barely 17 and mom and dad were married for 50 years. And since I wasn’t in a relationship I figured I might as well. I love her dearly, but it’s really “fun” sometimes, and I do mean that ironically. I love it here because I have lots of family here. But if I had my “druthers”, I’d be some place in the Rockies, traveling all the time, or at least somewhere where I could get a pizza delivered. Interesting tidbit: Although I live in Kentucky, I work in West Virginia and drive through Ohio to get there, and it only takes me an hour.


3. When did you start watching L&C?

I was ready and raring for the first episode and that’s when I started watching. I’d heard about the series long before it was advertised on TV because I was big into Superman comics then. I’ve been a Superman fan since I was four. I was a little peeved because they had chosen a brown eyed actor to play Superman, but Dean won me over in the first ep.


4. Rank the seasons in order of preference:

Umm.... I guess I’d have to say 1, 2 or 4, 4 or 2, and 3. And I’m still mad because I can’t choose a 5, 6, 7, or 8...


5. What is a show currently on the air you just can't miss?

Survivor... and Smallville, which can cause quite a conundrum as they come on at the same time and I work 3-11 shift that day. One of my VCR’s is exceedingly complicated (And I’m pretty good with this kind of stuff.) to work so therefore I usually pick one show. If Lois is on Smallville I record that one. If not, then I record Survivor. But Smallville kind of went down hill for me with that whole “Lana absorbing the kryptonite so she can’t ever be with Clark again” thing. Clark is supposed to be with Lois, and that whole thing just puts Lois in second place. Eek.


6. What is your cooking (or burning) speciality?

I make a mean lasagna, a great guacamole dip, and tantalizing tostones. I learned to make the tostones in Puerto Rico.


7. What sports team do you always root for, even when they suck?

Uhh... Sports? Uhh.... Is flying like Superman a sport?


8. What is something you never leave the house without?

Hopefully, my keys.


9. Who is the first FoLC you really remember talking to?

Hmm... That’s hard to answer. I lurked for many, many years and after having read other folks’ answers, I realized that I lurked even longer than I thought I had. Ann (TOC) was the first person I talked to on this board. I was registered on the “old” board but never posted anything or talked to anyone. Otherwise, through email, it was either Nan Smith or Becky Bain - or maybe Anne Ciotola or Pam Jernigan. I’ve actually spoken to Lara Joelle Kent and bakasi, and I’ve met one FoLC but I didn’t know it until the last year or so when he posted his picture on the board. We worked together but never spoke as FoLC’s.


10. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Superman (a female version); Batgirl; a doctor or a nurse; an army officer; a mom and housewife; an artist; a writer; a professional singer / star; a ballerina; a classical / professional pianist with clarinet, flute, guitar and singing on the side; and... and... I had “big” plans.


11. What is something you collect?

“We” collect “many” things. (Sorry, I sometimes can resist the psych jokes.) I don’t think I collect much of anything now except maybe fancy notebooks and pens. In the past, I’ve collected comics, Superman stuff, Star Trek stuff, and baskets (especially Longaberger).


12. Are you less bored than when you started this poll?

Yes. The biggest entertainment was reading what everyone else said!

(Posted by Editor Jax.) Really? What do you edit?

~~

(Posted by Shadow) Hahaha!! I have about 40. I guess I collect those, too.

~~

(Posted by Bethy.) How do you keep people from breaking in? Sounds like an interesting arrangement.

~~

(Posted by Kltpzyxm) And that quilt you made her was AWESOME!

~~

(Posted by Beth S.) Which Nancy? Anonpip?

~~

(Posted by Sue S) ROFLOL!

~~

(Posted by Labby) Please share the recipe.

~~

(Posted by Labby) I wanted to do the same, but my mom encouraged me to take typing even if I didn’t take another business / secretarial class. Bless her heart. That was one of the most important classes I ever took. At work, almost everything is computerized, and when I watch other nurses struggling to type, I’m very glad I took that 8th grade class.

~~

(Posted by Vicki) I used to live in Naranjito and then Arroyo. I loved Arroyo because I could always hear the waves of the Caribbean.

~~

(Posted by Vicki) Which town?

~~

(Posted by LaraMoon) Really? Now I’m looking to see which story you posted. I thought I’d read your first story. Now, I’m not sure. Ah-ha. I found it. Shattered. Will read it later.

~~

(Posted by Mrs.Mosley) I’ve seen that name. Does he write for another fandom?

~~

(Posted by Mrs.Mosley) This sounds familiar. I think I may have been there...

~~

(Posted by Bobbart) Wow, what a word! It’s new to me!

~~

(Posted by Wolfsong) That’s awesome!

~~

(Posted by Artemis.) Are you saying that the Pilot wasn’t the first time the show aired? The first time I watched, though, it was two hours.

~~

(Posted by Rona V) Aw, that’s just too cute. Too nervous to post feedback and yet you are a GE.

~~

(Posted by Nan) This aggravates me, too. They show signs on the show showing the population, but the feel of the show isn’t that big except for there are an awful lot of people that went to Smallville High.

~~

(Posted by Nan) Please share. I love good recipes.

~~

(Posted by Vive60) Spelunking! I used to do that!

~~

(Posted by Vive60) Then I must be ancient.

~~

(Posted by Vive60) Yikes!

~~

(Posted by Vive60.) Who is your mom?

~~

(posted by dawebb) Wow, I remember that, too, but it was so SLOW then that I didn’t give it another try for several years.

~~

(Posted by dawebb) Well, we never had a toilet in the basement (but I have seen them) but when I was growing up, we had a shower in the basement. It made sense because my dad got filthy on the job. And the shower was “open” to the entire rest of the basement.

~~

(Posted by Jenni Debb) I’d love to do that. I was in Scotland only very briefly but what I saw was beautiful.

~~~

This was fun.
