Hello..........

My job...I am an Office Manager Part Time. In reality, all I do is sit at a desk, manage my Mom's Group (I am an Organizer for a group through Meetup.com), and (used to) post on DIACF (But now that will be THIS forum). I am a full time student at California State University at Fullerton, so I spend some of my time at work doing homework. It's actually not a bad deal, except for the traffic getting there in the morning.

Career? Well, I am an English Major in school. I want to be a writer. But not like...Journalistic, or, textbooks or something boring like that. I want to eventually be on a level of writing that E.E. Cummings, T.S. Elliot, Sylvia Plath, and many other Contemporary and Modern Poets are at. I am more a poet than I am into fiction...but anyways...that is my eventual goal. Until I get to that point, I will probably end up teaching somewhere to pay the bills. Although I kinda refuse to teach at Public Schools below College level, so after I get my B.A. this January, I'm starting my M.A. or M.F.A. depending on which Grad school I get into this Fall.

Religion? Ugh, I hate answering this. As much as I want to believe in alot of any of it, I can't help but see holes in it. I always resented going to church because I couldn't ask the Pastor questions while he was sermonizing. I don't like being told by religion how I should feel about certain issues, so that's a barrier for me.

Schooling: I actually JUST transferred to CSU last fall, and a year later, I'm done with my B.A. After this it's on to Grad School majoring in English Lit/Creative Writing, and then hopefully if I'm not to old and tired, a PhD program so I can get tenured at a University...

Hobbies? I'm a Mom, is that a hobby or should that have gone under the job/career thing? I try not to look at it like that, I try to see it as this really fun thing I get to do. I'm pregnant with my second, and due in December. So, yeah, that's been fun. But I'm sure it'll be better when I'm not knocked up. I have a really peppy 2.5 year old son, he's actually really funny and has a great sense of humor. Maybe sometimes I'll share a joke he's made....he's a crack up.

Location: I was born and raised in Orange County California, and I was very pissed off that show on FOX wasn't based in Garden Grove....you know...the real ghetto OC...

Politics? I have no idea. I just know I have opinions.

I think I covered everything...

Oh, and my first name is Lyndsey......

[Ardentfrost]

Hi Lyndsey... it seems you need help posting to this thread Third time's a charm though.

I won't ask your age, but I think you gave it away in another thread when you said 7 years since you were able to vote

Yeah, you're not supposed to ask women that! But, since I am FOR equal rights and opportunity, I'll add that I just turned 25 this year. I don't know if I should feel old or young though...I'll be 25 married with two kids by the end of the year....but I am still in College, so that keeps me young...or at least living vicariously through the young...

I'm going to shake my fist and tell you whipper-snappers to get off my lawn if I'm the oldest one here.

lol, I'm also 25, so please don't tell me you're old, because I don't feel old yet

lol. I gotta admit, I think it's pretty cool you were a stuntman though. Which reminds me, what were you a stuntman for? Movies? TV? anything any of us might have seen you jumping out of a window in?

Are you going to be that one crazy guy in the neighborhood that sits on a rocking chair with a shotgun?







I had one of those guys in my neighborhood growing up (minus the shotgun) and I thought he was kinda cool....

I was a knight at a place called Medieval Times dinner and tournament at their chicago area location.

I really enjoyed working there for 10+ years until the shit-canned me for getting older and being beat up physically. I ended up going after them for a bunch of labor violations, but ended up backing off after a settlement was offered. I really wanted to expose them in court. It's ok though, a frined of mine for canned the same week and I don't think he will settle so I will get to testify against them and bring some things out into public that I am restrained from talking about now.

I did some indy films (nothing anyone would have heard of) for a few local film makers.

I know what kinda place you're talking about... I went to one in Orlando like 15 years ago (I forget the name of it, but it was something similar to yours).

And then you did some indie porn huh? I wouldn't be admitting that.

My name is Trey I turn 25 in October

I'm a technical analyst/level3 cust service in the oil and gas industry. I tend to work 8-5 monday through friday. I put in about 42 or 43hrs a week on avg so its pretty good. My company is in flow automation/streamlining of extraction and production. We have a variety of hardware products and software packages. So basically if a customer is having problems or someone internal to the company is having problems or we think we may have a design problem, my job is to try and isolate the problem and come up with a fix or find someone who can fix it.

I'm a christian, was raised that way.

I was homeschool the first few years of my life until 8th grade. Went to public high school from there which was ridiculously easy.

edit: some reason forgot about college LOL
I graduated from OU in 2005 with my Bachelors in MIS. I am starting MBA school this fall.

My hobbies are cars, weather and politics. I've been a car freak since our neighbor came home with a 1987 corvette in 1987, he popped the hood and I was like ever since that day I've been hooked. Was in a tornado in 1986 and since then I've been hooked on weather. My dad was very outspoken politically and I can remember the first presidential debate I watched was the 1988 debates

I live in Oklahoma

I'm a republican, though I'm more of a moderate republican I think. Most of my families says i'm a democrat, but I know better

[6SpeedTA95]

Speaking of work, the boss just dropped off a box with 4 motherboards in it I need to test

I love cars as well. At least, American classic muscle cars. Baddest mofo car I've ever seen was this shitty looking '91 Chevy S-10 with a 502 engine, blower, and NOS. It had over 1k horses. He put it on a dyno and when the blower kicked in, everyone around was like


One of my best friends has a '69 Mustang with a new engine that he recently built. It has around 800 horses, naturally aspirated.



I remember growing up and being around my older brother by 5 years, and his friends, and watching them build engines and stuff.


I haven't been in a few years, but there was this place out of town that locals used to drive to, to street race. We would go on Saturday nights at around midnight to this very secluded road and people would just be racing. It was awesome. Corvettes, mustangs, and all sorts of other American muscle would come by and race. It was so much fun. Everyone would always laugh if any rice showed up too.

I would be more proud of porn. This was film student/artsy/fantasy garbage.

We had a local drag too on saturday nights. When I first started going in 1997 and 1998 there was only about 15 or 20 of us that consistently showed up. A couple years later it was one of the biggest drags in the country and made hotrod magazine

However it got overrun with rice and while there were always american cars mixed in, of the 3 mile stretch of cars I bet 80% of it was rice the last time I went

Hi I'm Zack and you should know me by now

What is your Job / Career / Religion / Schooling / Hobbies / Location / Political Ideology / Political Party / etc?

My job will be substitute teacher as soon as school starts again. I do not yet have a career. I am not religious, more atheist or agnostic. Probably atheist I guess. I went to a small public high school but took an opportunity to go to college as a Junior when I started Kent State University full time. I was 16 at the time so it was pretty cool. After graduating high school and having 2 years of college done I transferred to Tulane University in New Orleans. At Tulane I majored in Anthropology (physical concentration) and did not choose a minor but chose instead to take various geology, ecology, and history coursework. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in December of 04 and moved back home. I wasted away some time doing various jobs since then because I wasn't ready to dedicate myself full time to school and wanted to have some fun. I'm now ready but I did not apply in time for this fall so I am going to substitute teach until next year when I plan to enroll in either Kent State again or Case Western Reserve and work on getting a PhD in physical anthropology and international health. Then I have no idea. I seem to like worthless schooling I guess.

I enjoy the automobile addiction, I like 4-wheeling, I'm getting ready to buy a motorcycle this winter for cheap so I'll have it in spring... I am an avid sports fan and still try to be an athlete even though I'm out of shape...

By Nowhere, Ohio I mean Windham, Ohio which is a small town in northeast Ohio. I graduated with about 75 kids if that gives you an idea. I'm kind of a hillbilly redneck in ways... I drive a 4x4 truck with big tires.. I have a couple firearms... 4 wheeler...

I'm a Classical Liberal and I have no political party. I hate both of the big ones for different reasons and the Libertarians just don't seem to suit all of my views. I'm a loner and I guess I'm ok with that.
