Lurker Intro & AMA

[zombiemuse]

I think it's time to come out of lurkdom.

I've been lurking on and off for a few years on TN and followed over after the jump. Discovered the TN when living with my a boyfriend and wanted to be "domestic." That didn't last long.

Anyway...ask me anything. Or tell me to go back to lurkdom.

Welcome!!

Hi & welcome!

[MadamePresident]

How did you come up with your screen name?

[zombiemuse]

I have a (major) obsession with zombies and was listening to Muse when creating the account. Very random.

[Awkward]

Hiya!

How old are you? What do you do for a living? Are you married? Do you have kids? Any pets? Favorite tv show? Favorite pasta shape?

Hi!

Mid-20s. I work in Marketing/PR. Single, no kids, no pets. I may invest in a goldfish though. ;D

Grey's Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars.

I love any sort of pasta. Give me carbs and alfredo sauce any day.

Hello!

I'm also a huge Muse fan.

Hi!

I love them! Discovered them on Pandora awhile back and instantly downloaded a ton of their music. It's great no matter my mood.

The bolded indicates that we have much in common. Excellent, we need more unmarried old hags in here.

More juicy stuff: so what's the deal with the boyfriend you lived with? Are you still together? Do you have any phobias? Favorite trainwreck post, exempting b l i s s?

Oh good! Yes the more unmarried hags the merrier!

No, we aren't together that ended ions ago. I'm just focused on myself and starting my career. I'm in a new exciting time and don't want anything (or anyone) to hold me back.

I'm not a fan of spiders or heights. Or glass elevators.

The crazy ranch lady is pretty funny.

({) Zombie welcome!

Who are your favorite MMers? It can be whoever you think is funny, has good answers, who you agree with most often, anything.

What topics do you like the best? I'm partial to non-MM posts but I do like trying to solve budget issues when I'm in the mood.

I tend to agree with you, V, miso and theintended the most. I also like brie, rikki, rbp, awkward, nuggetbrain and sarajoy. I know I'm missing people because as a whole I like this board (and S&B) the most. Occasionally, CE&P depending on the topics that day.

I like non-MM posts as well. Although, I do enjoy reading about others budgets, investments and financial goals. I think it's something that should be discussed more in general and not so taboo. It has definitely helped me realize where to cut back and where to spend more.

You can't be an old hag in your 20s. Sorry! Not when there are a few of us 35+ frumpy show wearing folks around

Welcome!

Two questions:
1) MMR: If someone handed you $50 right now, what would you do with it?
2) NMMR: Brownies or rice krispy treats? (I'm really craving the later right now)

Can I be a young hag? I often feel hag-like.

1. Go shopping. I'm dying to get some new fall pieces.
2. Hmm...that's tough. Brownies if they have frosting or rice krispy if no frosted brownies.

[SJ]

In what part of the country do you live?

Describe your ideal date.

On a scale of 1-10, how financially secure are you?

West coast.

I like activity based dates. So bowling, laser tag, mini golf, etc. I'm not a fan of just dinner and a movie, seems boring. I want to get to know the person and laugh.

I'd like to be an 10, but realistically I'm a 6. Just started my first career job so I'm wadding in the financial waters.

I'll settle this debate: how fast can you run the mile?

Last Tuesday I ran a mile in 11:26. I just registered for a 5K in November and I hope to get it closer to 9 minutes.

Well Bliss can run like 3 miles in 11 minutes, so you must not be her ;D

No, srsly. I don't think she's bliss.
