Hi Diana,

I was reading through your post. Lots of similar tastes. I'm actually off to watch "The Cutting Edge" as soon as I post this. : ) Must be the Olympics have put me in the mood.

It's a bit off-topic, but I noticed you said "One For The Money". Are you a big Stephanie Plum fan? I JUST got turned on ; )to those books by a friend. Finished all seven in less than three weeks. Do you have a preference - Morelli or Ranger?

Gotta run, but I'm glad you've joined us (and gotten caught up on posting.) We need more people to come out of the woodwork!

Regards,
M.

 

Hey Mirax!

Oh The Cutting Edge has always been a favorite of mine...almost a guilty pleasure I guess.

Oh yes, I'm a big Stephanie Plum fan. However, I wait 'til the newest book comes out in paperback before I buy it. Reading it, is another matter though. I will go to Borders a few times a week and read a little bit here and there until I finish it. The libraries around here take too long to get it in and the waiting list is always soooooooo long. And as for my preference...I'm a Ranger gal.

-Bianca

 

Hi Bianca,

Yep, Ranger for me, too. At the beginning of the series, it was Morelli, but each book built Ranger a bit more until Seven Up put him off the chart! I can't wait til this summer for #8!! I don't think I could read it a bit at a time, though. I'd go crazy until I could get back to it! I'll do the library thing, I guess. Maybe I can get my name in now?

Regards,
M.

Do you have anyone in your family, who you're really close to? If so, who and why? ? Probibly my mom because my dad died when I was 5, so we've grown close over the last 12 years. We're more like close friends than a typicas mom & daughter relationship. I dunno, I'm pretty close to one of my 4 cats too

If you could live in the Star Wars galaxy for a day, what planet would you go to and why? ? I guess Tatooine. It's the place where the the story really began. Plus I could do some bar-hopping & look for some cute Corillian pilots.

What things do you want to achieve in life b4 you die? ? (1)travel to Ireland and Greece to see where my family came from, (2)become a sucessful actress (w/ a cameo in Ep III), (3)do something to really help people (or the enviroment - boy am I mad at Bush about that whole Alaskan Wilderness Refuge thing!)(4) Find ONE guy to be just a close companion, where we understand eachother and have a strong bond (kinda a kindred soul), (5) take a marital arts class.

 

Cool,another Tomb Raider/Lara Croft fan!

 

"(5) take a marital arts class."...Hey sword chick....I've been married twice...does that make me a Marital artist!!! ...just kidding

 

Lol Scooby-Wan. Number six would be "finaly learn how to spell." Unfortunately that's one of the things I inherited from my father that I'm not too fond of.
Hey Ivan, glad some one else here likes Tomb Raider - it's about time! Are you into the games too or all about the character?

 

Hey Swordchick, you were born on April 9, 1985?

Because, that is also my birthday
