Tell me about yourself

GTI has very little info, so I talk to people all the time without knowing anything about them.

I'm 30. I live in Venice, CA. I have two dogs. I'm an editor for TV. I also perform and teach burlesque. I have a boyfriend whom I live with and two dogs. My favorite color is purple.

Hey there.

I'm Robby. I'm a 24 year old gentleman living in Los Angeles. I work as a screenwriter semi-professionally (I don't earn enough to live just yet, but people still pay me for stories I make up. That still weirds me out.) and am finishing up getting my BA in Film Studies. I'm nice and friendly and don't care for Los Angeles that much.

more people need to post here.

you already know me, but perhaps some people don't?

i'm pepper. i'm 28 and live in los angeles with my two cats (rabbi julius and leonard nimoy.) i enjoy burritos and am allergic to pretty much everything, including my beloved pineapples. during the day, i work in advertising but i do burlesque and other performey stuff at night. i like to make things, like costumes and cake.

Hey-o!

I'm Mace. Yes, that really is my name, and no, it's not short for anything. I grew up in San Jose, CA, and finally escaped almost two years ago to San Francisco. I'm the only straight person in my building. I live with Jack, a crazy cat who needs a lot of attention and spends his time systematically knocking everything I own off shelves. I'm an organic chemist by day, and a Flamenco dancer at night. I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and a half.

Hi Ariel Sara, nice to meet you and stuff.

I am Hena (long e sound), I am 21 years old, and I go to school a lot and I go to work a lot and I also get yelled at a lot. I'm studying graphic design, I work at the Apple Store as a concierge, and my parents are asian buttholes who keep forgetting that we live in the United States of America. I have a lot to say but I never say it. I am very shy. I also have a weird sense of humor because I will make fun of almost anything and seeing someone laugh and smile makes me feel good deep, deep inside. I am addicted to hoodies, and I am proud of myself for not buying any hoodies today. I have a green room, a penguin (from Animal Crossing) cell phone charm on my phone, and a lot of string cheese. I like to draw and doodle and write myself notes. I like hitting people, especially one person, but he's made me very angry as of yesterday and now I am going to hit him real hard so he gets bruised. I think I have carpal tunnel, which is lame. I like to sing in my car because no one else can hear me. I like shoes, especially if they are comfortable. I really like clothes from American Eagle Outfitters, and I love walking and walking and realizing that I've been walking for forever. My favorite color is orange. I like fish, butterflies, kittens, ferrets, and most of all dinosaurs. If I had a super power, I'd want to be able to fly, and I'd want wings. If I was an American Gladiator, my name would be Thor. If I had a million dollars, I'd be in my yacht right now.

hello! i'm kirsty, i'm 18 (19 sooon!) and i live in glasgow, scotland. i'm pursuing a degree in journalism & english at an amazing uni, although it's not been easy- i'm repeating first year after having been forced to drop out last semester (bad case of glandular fever.) i have a boyfriend called chris and it'll be our 10 month anniversary in a few days... i also live with two of chris's friends, tom and jamie, in a cute little tenement flat. living with boys is messy and loud, but ultimately hilarious. what else? i write for a couple of music websites so i get loads of free stuff, which is nice. i like dancing and silly drinking games and addictive television and getting my monthly copy of 'elle' through the door and spending too much money in topshop. i suppose that's it!

@mace: I grew up in San Jose, too.

Aw, j, tell me more!

Thanks everybody for participating, I love this!

Marie, I didn't know you live in the 'Nard, but I do know you will make an awesome stylist.

Mace, before I majored in Theater I was really considering chemistry, but I couldn't imagine all the lab time. Unless we get to blow stuff up. But then that could be used for evil... so...

And all you people I'm just meeting, welcome and thank you for participating!!!

Hi! I'm Jesse. I live in a small basement apartment in a big confusing town full of people called New York. I'm working as lawyer, but a trained chimp could do my job. I have a cat named Lillah, who I don't take good enough care of, though she is my world. I read more than I should and not as much as I'd like to. I watch more TV than I'd like to and not as much as I should. I am a fan of the both the Yankees base ball club and the Yankee candle company. I am in a very strange headspace lately.

peps, garak: weird, me too. Maybe we should all find a place and go together.

Hello! I'm Erica. I'm 26 and I live in St. Paul, where I work as an ESL teacher. I'm currently in a middle school but I'm being moved in a few weeks to an elementary school against my will (grumble grumble). I live with my cat and am often a homebody during the week. Then I get bored and crave interaction. Some of my hobbies/interests: baking, making crafty shit (but I haven't been doing a lot of that lately, boo), reading, running, dancing, and internetting, of course.

@arielsara/pepper - yeah, i dunno what it is...well, ok, i kind of do. a lot of personal stuff. and a real growing sense of...well, i'd like to think there was something else in this life, or beyond it, to make the thought of it ending seem more bearable, fulfilling. i really respond poorly to organized religion, though i respect anyone's right to it, and to their own beliefs. i've always just been more skeptical/realistic (i consider myself a realistic optimist). but, without getting to heavy into it, life is marching on at a rapid rate. so much of my time is consumed with work, and work-related endeavors. you start to get to that "is this all there is?" point atop the mountain, if you stop and look around, take stock of it all.

also, just as a pure stress-relieving/state-of-bliss thing, i could use a little spirituality in my life. i can get stressed pretty easily, very likely because at the opposite end of the spectrum is the noraml everyday me, which i'd like to think is a pretty easygoing, mellow guy. when i get stressed, it literally affects my body, and that alone kind of worries me. that i'd be one of those people you hear about "stress takes years off your life", etc.

touchy-feely new agey people kind of make me smirk, in the sense that, again, what can i say - i'm a rather cockeyed optimist. pure religious devotion of an unadulterated variety, or a rather hippies laissez-faire "hey man, we're all gonna go sometime..." - neither of those is me, nor suits me.

but i have considered, say, Buddhism. which i guess isn't just something you can "pick up". but i've thought about it a lot lately, as i am seeking something that gives me a platform on which to balance. a sense of calm. a place to go to when things are stressful, or whatever.

i spent a week in COlorado w/my friend this summer, at her parents' house in the mountains and explored Colorado and Boulder, and it was wonderful to a degree, but too hippie/crunchy granola ultimately for me. BUT....the whole fact that there is a thriving Buddhist population there, and their philosophy and sensibility, really appealed to me on a certain level.

@garak - i know that ethan has a reddish beard (and a fine one at that) and me. WHO ELSE IS RED BEARDED?

i think Khannnn sumating is? or maybe i've just never looked at his photo up close enough, and just assumed he was red-bearded

Hello! I'm Julia. I live in Central New Jersey, and am a senior at the State University. I recently turned 21 and enjoy ordering drinks legally. I'm in the English and Philosophy departments, I'm writing a thesis about Gothic fiction and the vampire in literature with a concentration on Twilight (nerd), and I tutor freshman who are taking Expository Writing. They frustrate me, mostly. I cannot wait to graduate but am simultaneously terrified of having to you know, get a job and function as a not Ramen-subsisted student.

I enjoyed meeting you but wish I could have chatted with you longer. I enjoyed your purple fringe.

art, that a some dope, fly, funk-fresh rhyme, my man.

gold star

Oh wait, now I hate you because you got the humpty dance stuck in my head.

The Humpty Dance? Ariel, you wound me.

Bonjour. I'm Sheena (or to my customers Sheena Las Vegas) and have been out of my mom's womb for 24 years. I grew up in a rural area on the Ky-Tn stateline and still have a bit of an accent. I've been homeless but lived in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Honolulu. I now live in MO and work for one of the best companies in exotic dancing. I'm a bartender, though I've given a few lap dances too. I like watching movies, cooking for friends, and making other people happy. I year my heart on my sleeve because I love with all my heart. Currently, I am heartbroken because I had a moment of stupidity mixed heavily with insanity and now the guy who's presence can make me smile and my soul soar isn't speaking to me.
