Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic POLL: Come on in and "introduce yourself"

Good idea

1. Name? Mona

2. A nickname people call you on the boards? Zoar

3. Where do you live? In Los Angeles

4. When did you start watching L&C? I think soon after it started when I was in college.

5. Other shows you watch? I am not a tv junkie but during baseball season and when there is some hope for the boys in blue, I watch the Dodgers, I'll sometimes watch House Hunters to see different parts of the country, and used to be a big Strong Medicine Fan until season 3.


6. Three things you can't live without? My dad, sparkletts water, (I know this is an odd answer but believe me, while I don't eat much I sure drink enough H20, lol, and books.

7. Three things you can't live with? Malicious gossip, cigarrette smoke and other drugs, and any form of abuse especially toward children or animals. On a lighter notes, if I get to answer twice, I'd say, I have never cared for cats, the way the writers destroyed L &C and for that matter the "ancient" show of Northern Exposure anyone remember that? and finally, no new L and C fan fic.

8. A fun fact about yourself? Even at my elderly age in my early 30's , I still love going to Disneyland. I will, however, admit, lol, because I won't be able to hear your laughter, that I don't care for roller coasters.

9. Your last vacation? To somewhere new, Oregon in July and a couple weeks ago I visited Northern, CA, where I went to college and taught for several years.

10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? Clark because I value kindness and honesty above most else and if I don't know you, I can come across as very reserved but once you have my friendship, I am loyal to the end. I also hold fast to tge belief, though often I get hurt by it, that there is tremendous good in the hearts of most all people. As a p.s. I am still scouring around hoping to one day very soon meet my "Clark!"

1. Name? Christina

2. A nickname people call you on the boards? Symbolic, Angel, Symbolicangel

3. Where do you live? Springfield, Oregon

4. When did you start watching L&C? I think I was 13 when it first aired, although I didn't get the chance to really watch it until it was over and they were showing reruns. But I do remember seeing it when it first aired.

5. Other shows you watch? Smallville! Earlier this year I discovered Jericho, and I just went through the whole first season of Heroes on DVD in the past two weeks. I also watch Charmed with my husband sometimes, though that's really his show. Oh! And Roswell. I guess I'm drawn to shows about the paranormal!

6. Three things you can't live without? My family, music, and reading/writing. It all keeps me sane--although sometimes my family has the opposite affect.

7. Three things you can't live with? Selfish people, cigarette smoke, or really, *any* kind of smoke, and the thought of anything happening to my children.

8. A fun fact about yourself? I love to sing and I seem to have a knack for remembering song lyrics.

9. Your last vacation? My husband and I went away to the Oregon coast and then to Portland for our first anniversary in June. But the real vacation was when we went to Vegas in June, 2006, for our honeymoon. We flew on a helicopter and got to see the Grand Canyon. <Sigh> That was amazing. The only thing more amazing so far in my life has been giving birth.

10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? I'd have to say Clark. I go out of my way to help people, sometimes even when they don't deserve it. I've been lectured countless times by well meaning friends that I let people walk all over me too often. I also like to see the good in people, but it breaks my heart when I see the bad. Or maybe I should have chosen Lois...it looks as if I babble like her!

7. Three things you can't live with? Too little sleep [with a preemie newborn - I'm doing this way too often], someone hurting my kids [or any kids, but mine especially], stupid students
8. A fun fact about yourself? Erm... We moved into our first house on Friday the 13th - it was on Elm St. We found our second [current] house on 6/6/6. Other than the house, we don't do debt. We haven't for several years and in about a month we'll have the other car paid off [early] and then will have just the student loans and house left - can't wait to get rid of them.
9. Your last vacation? DH and I spent the weekend in St. Louis in May for our 10th anniversary - last REAL vacation [more than a weekend] was in 2002 to San Diego, Reno, LV and Phoenix
10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? You know that takes more thinking that I want to do at the moment, because I don't think I'm particularly like any of the 'big' ones and the more minor characters aren't coming to mind... Maybe Martha - I'd like to be like Martha, don't know that I am, but would like to be

7. Three things you can't live with? Drugs of any kind, racists, and people who don't use their turn signals

4. When did you start watching L&C? -about a year and a half ago. They where showing re-runs and I'm so glad they did!!! The first episode I saw must have been at the end of season 1 or the begining of season 2. I was hooked immediately, there was just something about that show that made me want to buy the dvds, I think the only season released back then was the first! But I bought it and waited patiently for the rest. *uhum* *uhum*

5. Other shows you watch? -hmm let's see... 'friends' (I really love my dvds ) 'McLeod's Daughters' and 'Desperate Houswives' from time to time, to see Teri Hatcher and 'lost'. I don't watch that much tv, do I?

I guesse I would have to say Jimmy, I always smile and if my friends want to know something it's me they ask! I'm not saying I always have the correct answers but I love to talk ( so there's a litlle bit of Lois there too!)

10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? No idea... I don't think there is just one I'm most like. ^_~

Make room in this bandwagon, 'cause I'm jumpin' in!

1. Name? Hasini

2. A nickname people call you on the boards? Um, still Hasini, although my friends always call me Hasi for short. 'Hey you!' works as well, although you could just as well say Lady Mirth.

3. Where do you live? Sri Lanka.

4. When did you start watching L&C? When I was ten years old. I was having dinner when I saw this beautiful woman on TV that I thought looked a lot like Lois Lane in the cartoons - and then found out she WAS Lois Lane! What followed was a four-year obssession. I think I followed every episode of all four seasons save for about seven, which I only missed due to things like the TV breaking down, hurricanes, lightening storms and a great aunt's funeral. And I would totally have skipped the great aunt's funeral. This show was practically religion.

5. Other shows you watch? Hmm. I don't really watch TV that much anymore. Smallville, Highlander, Robin of Sherwood, Gilmore Girls, Related (they cancelled it, the idiots!)24 and of course, the X Files. And I still love Fantaghiro.

6. Three things you can't live without? My brother, my computer, my huggy pillow. Excuse me? Where is it written that a 20-year-old can't have a huggy pillow?

7. Three things you can't live with? Stress, WOWSERS and intolerance. Also bathroom hoggers, 'cause if anyone's hogging the bathroom it's got to be me!

8. A fun fact about yourself? My Dad is a practical jokester who shouldn't be exposed to small children. The temptation is too great. One night when I was very small, I was watching Dynasty on my father's knee as was my custom, and in one scene Joan Collins was soaking in a marble bathtub in a luxurious, carpeted bathroom. We don't have carpeted bathrooms in SL, nor had I ever seen one so fancy. I was quite confused.

"Daddy," I asked, "why is that lady bathing in middle of the living room?"

I think the devil himself got into Dad. "Well, hon," he told me seriously. "The fact is, there are a whole lot more people abroad than there is here. So they don't have much space to go around, see? The houses there are quite small, so they don't have room in their bathrooms for the bathtub. So they bathe in the living room."

I believed it till I was ten.

And yes, I am still that gullible.

9. Your last vacation? I stayed at a beach resort for my Mum's College Reunion weekend. Had an intimate and abusive relationship with a deranged bee that had shacked up in my bathroom. I tried to tell it that inter-species relationships wasn't really my thing and that having a bachelor pad inside a hotel bathroom wasn't normal bee behaviour. That's when it turned abusive. Anyway, I learned a valuable life lesson - never try to break anything gently to an unbalanced insect. I came home a jaded woman.

10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? Lois! Because she's pretty! Okay, I outgrew that one at the age of twelve. Because she messes up and has all these insecurities but underneath it all has the potential to be so much more. She never takes bull from anyone, speaks her mnd and is effing brilliant! And she's snarky. I see her as a real diamond in the rough.

Can I just say that I am so enjoying everyone's responses? We are quite the diverse group of fans here, as evidenced by the fact that we have fans who align themselves with everyone from Lois to ... Mindy Church?!? (I want to meet that person!) We'll have to do a books and movies thread next time I am bored at work.

This totally cracked me up!

I have a 6/6/6 story as well. I got married the Saturday before, and on 6/6/6 we flew to Vegas (Sin City). It was my first time flying. I always thought that was a strange coincidence.

I, too, am enjoying reading everyone's responses.

Okay, here goes... sorry if some of my answers are vague. <g>

Mona

1. Name? Alexis

2. A nickname people call you on the boards? LL

3. Where do you live? Seattle, WA.

4. When did you start watching L&C? 1993. It was the episode titled, "I'm Looking Through You." I was bored one night, and came across the show. I was immediately drawn in by Teri and Dean's on screen chemistry. The funny thing, was that my parents started watching the show before me, and they ended up getting bored, and moving on. I, on the other hand, got wrapped up in the show, and it will be my ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE TV show of all time.


5. Other shows you watch? Heroes, Smallville, Grey's Ananomy, Ghost Whisperer, Desperate Housewives, Medium, All My Children, One Live to Live.

6. Three things you can't live without? My own Clark Kent (aka: my boyfriend), chocolate, and my muse.

7. Three things you can't live with? brocoli, lack of sleep, and mornings

8. A fun fact about yourself? I'm starting a publication dedicated to superheroes. A couple of months ago, I attended a convention, and I was dressed up as Lois Lane. I was wearing a press badge, and I guess I looked so much like Teri in the picture, that the the guy from the Superman website table, asked me what newspaper I was from. I should've said the Daily Planet, and ran with it.

9. Your last vacation? Cannon Beach, Oregon. My boyfriend, and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on August 25th. We stayed at the same place, and in the same room where we made it official four years ago.

10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? Lois. I can be very stubborn, and head strong at times. I also babble A LOT. Don't get me mad, because I can verbally run you into the ground. I LOVE chocolate, and when it comes to cooking, I can only turn on a microwave. In addition to all of that, writing keeps me grounded, and helps me de-stress.

After reading Alexis' response ... uh oh, there are two of us Loises running around Seattle?

Why do I have a feeling that us vs. the Emerald City, we'd kick some azz?

That being said, I am glad to know there are some other fans locally! I only know of a couple -- jude and carrotbat.

1. Name? Julie

9. Your last vacation? me, my daughter and a Florida beach--and I even dared to go para-sailing!
10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? My 1st thought was Lois due to the love of chocolate and the babbling, but I think I'll change it to Dr. Klein for the love of science and overexplanations (ie: babbling!)

Jo

1. Name? Brenda
2. A nickname people call you on the boards? BJ, Brit (other fandom - don't ask, it only makes sense to me).

5. Other shows you watch? Dr. Who (yup, KathyB pimped that one, too.) I don't currently have a TV, so everything I tend to watch is already on DVD.
6. Three things you can't live without? My kitty, my family and good food. I mean really good food. The kind I use to be able to find everywhere in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm dying from the lack of good Chinese food. If you're out there and know of a good Chinese restaurant in the Atlanta area, please let me know. I'll be forever in your debt.
7. Three things you can't live with? My current job, small minded people, mosquitos

2. A nickname people call you on the boards? Krafty or Sara K
3. Where do you live? Tucson, Arizona
4. When did you start watching L&C? I remember clearly watching the pilot when it first aired, but I don't think I watched it religiously until much later in the season. After that, I'd lock myself in my room, and I had all my friends and family trained not to bother trying to talk to me between 7 and 8 p.m. on Sunday nights.
5. Other shows you watch? I don't watch much actual TV nowadays, mostly just stuff that's off the air. I do watch Heroes, though. And also Doctor Who and Torchwood. Other favs: Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and probably a few more I can't think of right now.
6. Three things you can't live without? my laptop (with internet!), my friends, and the hope that I'll find love one of these days. ;P
7. Three things you can't live with? drugs of any sort, writing any more analytical papers Met with her and some other FoLCs in LA, then trekked up to Canada. A week after that, I met up with more FoLCs in Washington. Yay FoLCs!
10. Which L&C character are you most like, and why? Gosh... I think it'd be a mix of both Clark and Lois. I think that's why I love them so much - I'm able to relate in so many ways.
