Profiles Suck

Non-Phish General
#1

Ok… so as obsessed as I am with this board ( I check it every 10 minutes… if not more) and as much time as I spend talking to all of you guys, I want to know more about you and for you to know more about me. Think of this as an extention of the Member Pictures board in that it serves to give a more accurate picture of who we all are.

I think that since we have a poor excuse for an actual profile( no offense to any web creator or anything…), that we should all use this thread to give other posters here and idea about ourselves; a rundown of who you are essentially :slight_smile: you can give whatever info that you deem pertinent ( i.e, your REAL name… etc.)

ok… I’ll elaborate on mine

favorite drink - ameretto sour
height- 5’7
car - Ford Escape
job- receptionist @ mortgage company ( hence why i sit on here all day long…)
siblings - only child
middle name - Joy ( happy happy joy joy indeed…)
fav bands- the flaming lips, phish, pink floyd, the allman bros., radiohead, DMB ( shut it…),etc…
briefs or thong - neither… HEHEHEHEEE

Now for some random facts:

*I hate scary movies, or being scared
*I hate spicy food
*I’d love to move back up north to CT or ME… snow is my thing!
*If you didn’t know by now, I have a 3 year old named Aidan and a husband named Brian
*I just got married June 18th,2005 ( we were together for 5 years before that)
*last name - Patrick
*Worst concert I was ever FORCED to go to- Goo Goo Dolls w/ Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray

  • I had a full ride to University of Tennessee with a athletic scholarship ( for swimming) when I was a sophomore in HS, and my parents made me turn it down b/c I was too young. For those you who don’t know… UT is the training facility for the U.S olympic team… so essentially I could have gone to the olympics…dammit!
    *worst online habit - not capitalizing my i’s … I guess I don’t think very highly of myself… LOL
    *highest I’ve ever been - I ate 1/4 of shrooms at bonnaroo and I think I saw the dead play… I just very vividly remeber crying and laughing at the same time and thinking that “Looks LIke Rain” was the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard and that i needed to call my mom and tell her I loved her.

more will follow I’m sure…
