I'm a writer, as are a LOT of other people here. In fact, Sam (the head of this place) is a writer. Tell us anything you want, and don't worry about being embarrassed because we'ver all done that before. Your posts can be serious, absurd, whatever.

> Okey, time for a bio, I guess:
> Personal Dossier on Jannette
> Born: April, 1985; in Grand Island, NE; 2nd of 6 children

Demcember 1985 for me. Born in Lincoln, NE, but now I live in Washington (which I like a LOT better)

> Home: Eastern PA (north of Phila.)
> Occupation: free lance philosopher, scientist wannabe, nerd

Writer. And Idea Person (which means I poke into stuff that's none of my business and form weird thoughts). And nerd. But mostly writer.

> Political affiliation: None, currently (hey, i am after all 15.. can't vote yet!) I lean towards Republican on most issues.
> Hobbies: The internet. Reading good books. The internet. Reading bad books. The internet. Writing bad stories. The internet. Travel. Oh... did I mention the internet?

Writing, reading, making jewelry, collecting fashion dolls (like Barbie, but others too), the internet, drawing, films (I have a notion that I'm going to be a famous movie producer/writer/director some day).

> Pets: 1 guinea pig (Blind Lemon Wilbur), 1 ferret (Jimmy Dean), 2 cats (who both hate me), more gerbils than I care to count, and about 20 fish (all of which are named Charlie Tuna).

A cat named Asher. Strike that. An ADORABLE cat named Asher who loves listening to Mozart (really).

> Favorite book: "Candide" by Voltaire

Uh...so far, it's "Laughing Gas" by P.G. Wodehouse. Subject to change.

> Musical tastes: I'm often ridiculed by my peers for my fandom of Elton John... ("Hey kids, shake it loose together/The spotlight's hittin something that's been know to change the weather...")

Classical, jazz, CCM. I am a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. They're not really jazz, they're more like pop. Whatever.

> Other: Did I mention that I'm female? No? Well i am. (The name is a give-away, right?) I'm 5 foot 9 in bare feet, and I wear a size 9 shoe. I don't have a favorite TV show, because i don't really watch TV (bad for the brain, you know!) and I think robots will be a great boot to soceity once they make robotic butlers. I'm biased about comic strips, since I draw comics myself (they're heavy on humor, low on art...)

Female, 5 foot 4 (or so), size 9 1/2 shoe. My favorite TV shows thus far are Adam-12 and Mystery Science Theater 3000, I'm planning on waiting and seeing how this whole robot thing ends out, and I make some comics too (when I'm not busy writing and reading and going on the internet and making jewelry and trying to save money for more Barbie dolls).
