Introduce Yourselves!

Not sure if this thread still gets much action, but at the recommendation of the one and only Ned Raggett (a most noble person if I do say so myself), I will post a brief introduction for anyone who is interested. I am an adult female who lives in Hudson County, New Jersey. I'm heterosexual (to the best of my knowledge) and happily single. I'm pretty much a low-income person (I don't live in the expensive part of Hudson County, that's for sure). I've lurked for a few years, and I made two previous attempts to register, but each time the site was down! I've made a few posts before posting this introduction. Musically, some of my favorite artists are Nico (from the Marble Index onward), Stereolab (currently on hiatus), and Jason Falkner (I'm pretty sure he still records, but has trouble getting his stuff released). I like others, but those are three of my favorites. I'm also interested in animal welfare, but not the more 'extreme' animal rights movement. I'm an ovo-lacto-vegetarian, but not a vegan. I have no intention of trying to make everyone adopt a meatless diet, but I would like to see cruel factory farming replaced by humane farming practices. I'm currently thinking about creating a Twitter account for myself, but I have a few frustrating obstacles preventing me from creating my Twitter account, that I haven't been able overcome yet.

hi dude!

Thank you for welcoming me to ILM.

hey am curious sometimes. you seem like a cool person. i love the marble index and am also interested in animal rights. i live in middlesex county, nj. i don't really understand what obstacles would prevent you from creating a Twitter account and am a bit confused by that part of your post.

Hi, fellow "pretty much low-income person"!
'Tis heartening to kno' there're still some of us around here:)

I think most people here are broke

hi am curious!

i'm also a vegetarian btw, tho i consume milk & cheese & like saying "i'm a beegan. only bees." at dinner parties

lol

I'm loaded, dunno about you losers

i am concerned that the tentacles of ned raggett reach all the way to NJ.

he must be stopped

We need more ned ragget influence in nj not less

Ned Ragget is a poser and asshole and must be stopped. Ned Raggett, however, is a fine fellow.

(42 years and people still can't spell my last name even when in this case it's RIGHT THERE *grouse grumble*)

Whatever happened to the concept/vision dear old Tom expressed in this thread?

Oh, right.

Hello,

I am a human experiment.

'lo am curious.

welcome to ilx/ilm.

i eat meat.
i have never tried to spell raggett for fear of an ilm zing.
i only have one stereolab album, that i have never made it all way through cos of dullness.
feel guilty cos i am not poor.

good stuff :

i love jason falkner, despite only having one solo album by him.

that's not who you are and what you're into. Where's the hype for your website? xp

And yes, I *am* a human. I'm into just about everything. I like to think of my web site as the entire World Wide Web.

Hello am curious! I also live in Hudson County (Hoboken). Welcome, neighbor!

Wow. I thank you all for welcoming me to ILM. I wish I could thank each one of you individually but that might take quite some time and interrupt your busy schedules. I must thank Ned Raggett for suggesting I introduce myself here. Ned, you are a fine fellow and a most noble person. Thanks for the suggestion. For the low-income/broke people: Maybe someday someone will create a specific thread on ILE for us (the low-income/broke people) to get together online and share relevant personal stories, news articles, etc. It might make for an interesting thread. For Treeship: Thank you very much for that compliment of saying that I seem like a cool person! As for my obstacles with creating my Twitter account, the basic story would probably be a bit too long to go into here in this thread, but I can send you a message at your user profile. Any help in the matter is appreciated.

yeah, please feel free to shoot me a private message anytime. welcome to ilx.

Thanks Treeship. Just sent you the private message a few moments ago. If you need me to clarify anything in the message, just let me know. You can send me a private message or an email (I included my email address if you need it for anything), whichever you prefer.

I wish I could thank each one of you individually but that might take quite some time and interrupt your busy schedules.

what?? what?!? i am sprinting to the bank to make important investing decisions, checking my rolodex via a palmed mirror that also allows me to check out my business hair. a crucial marketing meeting awaits. i lead a team that lives to make other people buy things. i'm scheduling in a workshop to learn how relaxing can benefit my triple bottom line! profit!!!

When will ned Raggett stop impinging on the rights of people to have twitter accounts this will not stand

SEIZE HIM

I am simply horrible, so. (And thanks to a.m.c. for the most kind words.)

OH HI

NJ REPRESENT

What are the demographics on this thread geographically? Feel like so many of us turn out to be from NJ.

Well I certainly amn't - from NJ!:)

When I first began posting on ilx, I lived in Nashville. Then I lived in Florida for a few years and now I live in Atlanta. I rode a train through NJ once and spent the night at a big suburban house where my friend nannied for a guy named Tony Danza (not that Tony Danza), so I feel like I've done NJ reasonably right.

I love NJ.

cotswolds.

i am concerned that the tentacles of ned raggett reach all the way to NJ.

I read this as testicles, or maybe I just pretended to. Eat your heart out Brian Eno.
