TFP Women's Rollcall!
I feel like I'm seeing less of women these days, so I just thought it would be nice to see who is around. So let's use it as an excuse to get to know one another. Here are some really simple, stupid questions - pay attention to the last question of the person who posted before you, because you'll have to answer it!
My name is genuinegirly. My favorite emoticon is  I love plants. I wish I could spend all of my time playing with plants. No, no. Not like that  Everyone who knows me in person thinks I'm an introverted prude. The person who posts after me in this thread thinks I'm________.

Ready? OK!
My name is settie.
My favorite emoticon is  I love music. I'm always listening to music, and even when I'm not, I've got one looping in my head until I play another. Haha. Everyone who knows me in person thinks I'm sarcastic, empathetic, and kind. I think genuinegirly is interesting and friendly. |

My name's noodle.
my favorite emoticon is usually  or  i love photography, reading, my cats, and finding things to do with the little amount of free time i have any more. everyone who knows me in person thinks that i'm the one to call when they need to talk and that i'm really good at what i do, apparently. i think snowy, genuinegirly and settie all keep the LL going well. i think that snowy has a great way of making people see things in a different light without making them feel stupid.

My name is little_tippler, tippler or lt if you've known me longer.
My favorite emoticon is without a doubt  I love art and music, and basically anything art related. Oh and my cats! Everyone who knows me in person thinks I'm very direct and a little bossy. Ok, very bossy! I think noodle is thoughtful and caring, and has a good sense of humour. I also love her jumping avatar  Edit: oops posted at the same time! I don't know Medusa very well but I have seen her pic and she's very pretty. She also seems like a sensitive person and I appreciate that a lot in others.

I agree with you genuinegirly, there hasn't ever (in my almost 5 yrs. on TFP) been that large of a female membership and I miss some member's that aren't here any longer. Gilda come's to mind and there are some other's that are still here but not that often like ShaniFaye, Lurkette and maleficent.
My name is alicat. My favorite emoticon is  (I don't use it too often though).I love cooking, reading, gardening and surfing the net (that's reading, right?). Everyone who knows me in person thinks I'm a loving, caring, introverted homebody. They would be correct. I think: Ponypotato, I can't help it, I still think of you as merleniau. After that, you bring to my mind the country life and animal's that I have alway's pined after as a "city girl" most of my life (far from any real city though, suburbs of Detroit at worst in my younger years). The person who posts after me in this thread thinks I'm________.

Thanks for the great response everyone. Oh, and to keep things moving... I don't hear alicat's perspective on things nearly enough - here you're saying how you miss some old faces, yet you're an old face that I miss!

Osilan - do you like to wear men's jeans? Or do you enjoy looking at men in their jeans? One means comfort, the other eye candy. Eye candy is fun.
I haven't seen you around before today- welcome to the board, and thanks for the introduction!

Men's jeans are comfortable, if the proper design. I must agree.

My favorite emoticons are and , but I use and the most.I love summer, reading, driving with the windows down and the radio up, dark beer, and chapstick (among other things.) Everyone who knows me in person thinks I'm short. And geeky. And a total sweetheart (heh...got 'em fooled... mwahahahaha.) Shaindra seems pretty cool... anyone who likes Ferris Bueller gets automatic cool points (as does living in MA.)

Everyone who knows me in real life thinks that I am an International Woman of Mystery. Many people also think I'm an extrovert, but in reality I'm pretty inclined towards introversion. They also have no idea how much I hate my PhD right now. Starkizzer: Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!!! Next person to post after me needs to tell me why I'm becoming more and more afraid of flying as I get older... when I used to love it so much.
