The "Get To Know You" thread

OK guys, to make this is simple as possible, let's do a little bio info here so that newbies can see who the "regulars" are, and so we can all know more about each other. Newbies should also post their info here so we can get to know them.

That being said, let's try to follow a similar format:

favorite food: it's hard to decide, i love food too much. chocolate, bacon, ham, granny smith apples, oriental... sadly i just discovered i'm gluten intolerant so i can't have a lot of my favorites (cake, cookies, doughnuts... OH THE INHUMANITY!!!)

what's the best meal you ever had? where was it, and why was it the best?
i went away to college the first time last semester. now the cafeteria at asbury is decent, but let's face it, kentucky can't pull off "southern style" food. and big cafeterias can't pull off most meals period. so i finally went home for spring break after about 3 months away and my mom fixed my favorite foods for supper when i finally came home. now it's nice enough to get your favorites, but when it's been 3 months since i had my mom's cooking it's heavenly.


i talk to much and overanalyze things. sorry for the wordy replies.

edit: my computer is evil. EVIL!

Name: Evelyn

Please explain your ScreenName: Me and one of my best friends were talking on a Saturday night during my senior year of high school. We were staying up late and eating candy and drinking soda pop (dangerous combination...). Talent show was coming up and we decided to do a spoof skit on Star Wars. After brainstorming (and two Milky Ways) later, we decided to spoof Luke and Vader's battle in ESB. Her name was spun off of Luke Skywalker and mine off of Darth Vader. Even though it's base is one of such evil I liked the name.

OK--new question for this "week" (and no commentary from the peanut gallery about how i judge a week, m'kay?):


what's your favorite color & why?

How about color combo? I really like Red/Black mainly because growing up I was a follower of the Chicago Bulls and that's what their colors were. Plus I ended up accumulating a lot of Bulls shirts over the years (which most of them have finally been retired).

green! like my birthstone, the emerald.

sadly i can't wear green, so black becomes my favorite color when it comes to clothes. my firs roommate actually banned me from buying more black clothing my freshman year.
