    I host a web community called Eagle Post (www.eaglepost.net). We're all Southern Miss fans. I also hold a tailgate at each of the home games that can draw over 50 people. I'll have the whole get up set up 7 hours before the game (most of the tailgaters start showing up a couple of hours before the game).

    I'm so excited people are responding! It's so interesting to me to see how people tick and what different things we all find interesting :heart:

    I'm silly :embarassed:

    No, you're sweet :smile:

    I don't listen to it often, but I have a huge nostalgia for 70/80s reggae/dub music which I grew up listening to on the radio in Jamaica. My parents went there when I was 5 and they were only in their mid 20s, very young and idealistic. It was a time of huge political and cultural change which was reflected in much of the music. We were right in the middle of it all. Because of the political instability, it was quite dangerous at times but for me as a child it was all a huge, exciting adventure :happy:

    Too many faves to post but here are a couple:

    I'm a music fanatic and am keeper of all useless, trivial facts. I was a professional baker/ cake decorator back in the day and that battle cake is amazing!

    Wow, thank you!!!!

    I enjoy football (am a Redskins fan ~ yea, I know, I know...). Love to cook. Am currently on a mission to learn how to cook healthier (am guilty of being a comfort food cook). Only thing I'm not messing with is my italian dishes as they are my italian grandmother's recipes and some things are just forbidden to change!

    Enjoy getting down and dirty in the garden. I write custom poetry for people for invitations, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Have song writing aspirations and am (very slowly) teaching myself how to play piano. Have very eclectic tastes in music, including musicals and choral performances. Love the sound of a gospel choir! All about harmony baby!! Huge fan of live music.

    Like to read, hang out with my dog, my friends and with my son when he is home from college. My son's friends call me "Woprah", the white Oprah, as they believe I'm easy to talk to and have given them some sound advice over the years. Quite the compliment coming from 17-18 year old teenage boys. lol

    Look fussier than I actually am (girly girl), always treat others the way I wish to be treated and do crave a good cheeseburger once in awhile!

    I like weird/crazy/uncommon stuff in music/videos or art in general... So yeah, definitely not mainstream.

    So much more stuff... If only you knew the real power of madness! :laugh:

    Also like composing electronic music and especially using synths.
    Best synth I've ever bought is the one shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQfljbdDI_o
    (wish I had half the talent of this guy :cry: )

    Aww the poor meat didn't get much time for love :cry: inspiration to make the most of it? lol

    That guy in the last video is amazing! I have to admit, I'm still getting my head around the electronic music thing, but it would be fun to hear some of your stuff. I always find that I appreciate things better when it's someone I "know", even if just through mfp :laugh:

    I'm kind of a plain Jane. No real hobbies but I like to try new things.

    Favorite activities:
    Reading
    Rollerblading
    watching Horror/Action Movies (love Starship Troopers & Daybreakers to name a few)
    going to craft shows, antique malls, and flea markets
    riding rollercoasters

    I also used to help my dad build hunting cabins from the ground up. I love working with tools and can't wait to get my own house so that I can turn the garage into a workshop. Something weird/unique... I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and once helped clean (gut/skin) and butcher a cow that had broken its back. Okie now back to my lunch.... haha

    Edit: and I am a huge news junkie. I always seem to be able to find the weirdest and sometimes most gruesome news articles. And I love older music. Three Dog Night is my favorite band.
