Yeah, I know, the oldtimers are likely getting tired of these, but I just returned from a two-year Hatrack hiatus, and I don't know who half of you people are! So.....

I've been here just over a year. I never stop talking (but then, if you looked at my post count, you already knew that ), although I do try hard to listen too.
I am a divorced mother of three, I recently turned 30, and I am an Orthodox Jew. I live in the City of Angels. Come fall, I'll be going back to teaching high school science.
I'm Katie. I graduated from Utah State in English, am LDS, and currently live in Dallas, contemplating grad school and taking classes and test and applying but being slightly too committment-phobic to commit to one yet.

I'm 33, just finishing my first year of law school. Between undergrad and law school, I was a partner/CTO in an information technology consulting firm. I'm getting married July 31, even though my fiance lives and works in Northern Virginia and I go to school 2 hours away in Charlottesville.
Oh, and I met someone today who was in Geoff's dorm when he was in college.

Hi - I'm Annie. I was around at the dawn of Hatrack's creation, but only returned to regular posting about a year ago.
I'm a senior at Montana State majoring in Graphic Design and French and minoring in Art History and I incessantly babble about all of those topics, plus whatever else I think myself an expert in. I'm LDS and I have a soft spot in my heart for socialists. I like to cook and travel and listen to obnoxious music that's not in English.

Hi! I'm new around here, but reading Annie's description, I think I am her cross country twin. Good to meet you, twin. Also, my posts are currently being signed with a grouphug due to a little thread about hobbes and his smiley signing......
I remember you around before you left- we chatted a few times too (in hatrack chat).
Hmmm... a bit about me.... I am Canadian. I am attending culinary school at present, but once this is over I'm going to do something different- as much as I love to cook and bake, I need something more intellectual (there isn't anything wrong with it, of course, it's just not me). At present I'm thinking of being a dietician or going into genetics... but it seems to change every week or so I am dating Pod/Ted (who rarely posts now; so only the "old timers" probably reconize him). I am Roman Catholic.

So, Yank....where were you for the last 2 years? (Everyone but me apparently already knows, and for those too embarrassed to ask, the newby is always willing )

Welcome back, Yank. You might remember my son, Mooselet (now coming up on three years old), and my wife, Mama Squirrel. We now have a second son, Superstation (a little over five months old now). They're all registered here now.

By the way, I just read about half of the latest Alvin Maker book.... what did you think of your namesake?

Hi Yank. I wanted to ask you in chat what your MSN name is, but you keep getting kicked out, because this is AIM we are talking about here.
I, Valentine, have been visting Hatrack for over a year and half or so. I only started posted recently.
Since everyone is making a point to mention their religion, I'll tell you all that I'm in the process of converting to Judaism.
I live in Omaha, NE. I am a sometimes college student, going to be a nurse someday and want to make sure everyone knows that Xavier is coming to visit me on MAY 6!!

Valentine- yeah, AIM is the devil. I haven't got an MSN name now because I haven't a computer right now. I have to use the library. Doh!
newby- I speak Northern Floridian, which is a dialect of Deep Southern. I also speak the English dialect often known as Ebonics. Also I picked up un poquito del español on my mission.

I was glad that OSC improved him so much from the real me. *smile* I'm still busy feeling honored by it.

Yeah, I don't think I would survive an honest exposition of character. It's easier to write than to be written.....

Welcome back, Yank!! You may or may not remember me, but I remember you! I got married just shortly before you left on your mission (to a wonderful man who occasionally posts on Hatrack as slacker) and I'm still married, even after these long 2 years! Posts: 5879 | Registered: Apr 2001

Hiya, Yank! I used to see you in Hatrack Chat all the time before you left...as I recall, you were the one responsible for cleanup when Jeni's head exploded. Good to see you!

Hi! I joined in August as Julie, then my posts got close to 1000, so I switched to MidnightBlue while I came up with a landmark, decided against a landmark, but stuck with MidnightBlue since I don't like having my name as my login. I'm 16 and live in the NE. I'm am currently avoiding writing an essay and a speech, as well as a bunch of work for chemistry, all of which is due on Monday.

Hi, Yank, I seem to be the only one who doesn't remember you. You must have been posting when I was fairly inactive.
I also post as aka or ana kata.
I'm LDS, live in Alabama, work as an electrical engineer, am 46 years old, and I've been hanging around hatrack since 1997, I think.
Welcome back! Tell us about your mission. Was it a wonderful experience for you? I want to go on one someday. I'm a convert (3 years ago -- a hatrack convert) so naturally didn't go when I was young.

I'm littlemissattitude, sometimes known as lma. I got here a year ago last January. I'm currently living in Central California but I'm a SoCal native. I'm 47 and I have a BA in Intercultural Studies, and so naturally cannot find a job. So, since I've got time on my hands I'm writing a book about the Baby Boomer generation - naturally, since I am a Boomer myself.

Hi, I'm 22. I have two kids, and I'm going to be Princess Daisy for my pal's costume party. My husband is going to be Waluigi.....this Daisy likes bad boys.
If you haven't figured it out, I'm a girl. I just like turbo boost. Oh, and Tucson, AZ.
This is the closest thing to a A/S/L thread that I've seen survive this long. Wowie.
edit to add: I don't LIKE Tucson, I just live here. I should have worded that differently.

I can't believe I've been here so long I remember you leaving on your mission, and now you're back.

I'm Dave, a 22-year-old-male-heterosexual film student/writer who tends to think too hard about things, tries to solve everyone else's problems, and complains a lot when good TV shows are cancelled. I also try to tell you what TV you should be watching, whether current, or cancelled and on DVD. Like, for example, FREAKS & GEEKS. I also am one of the chief co-founders of http://www.philoticweb.net

Hello, My name is Austin, but everyone calls me STN. Occasionally someone will call me sobertilnoon, enough that I have thought to change my name. However, after I got my website, I decided against that.

Hi Yank, I live in Sacramento, California, and I go to a junior college. I'm a Lutheran. No, I don't like that. I think it's more appropriate to say I attend a Lutheran Church. As you can tell, my name is Nick. Original screen name, don't you think? I have been here for almost two years. I joined as "Wetchik" back in June of 2002 and switched to Nick because people misunderstood the name. You can call me "Wet Nick" if you find it absolutely necessary.

I was registered as Diosmel Duda back when you were around, though I was a major lurker then, so you probably don't remember me. Now I am a senior at BYU studying English Teaching, and I am married to Jon Boy. I work as an editor and share Jon Boy's love of English and whatnot, but I'm not as good at it as he is. I also love music and cooking and writing. In my heart, I long to be a poet. There! The truth is out. I am twenty years old.
