And I thought the news page was good!
Hello Everyone.
I'll admit I have been eaves dropping for a few days now, and I would like to say that there is some very interesting reading to be done here. I think this is (mostly) a nice forum.
To introduce myself, my "real' name is Therese, I am a student Anthropology is my major, archaeology my passion. I am not 19, my son is 19. After years of doing what was expected, I am now pursuing my dream. So if you don't mind, I am looking forward to continued eaves dropping (in the pursuit of knowledge) and occasionally tweaking a nose or two (just for fun), but really to get more info on a subject I may find interesting.

Thank you everyone for the welcome. I have jumped into a few discussions, just testing the waters. Yes Marduk, I have noticed a few witty replies, but all in good fun I am sure, and you have all been quite nice to me (so far). Cognito... it all depends on the time of day. I live in the Capitol, but spend alot of time in our only real city (for classes) but I also spend a great deal of time out and about the mountains and the east/central parts of this great state (and yes I love the rain).
well I am off to another class, math (I hate math).

Another big welcome Raven. My favorite part of your beautiful state is Astoria and Winchester Bay. Eventually I will leave SoCal and land there!

Ah, yes. I understand. I was born in your only real city and my grandfather passed away in the Capitol. I went to college in Eugene. We used to spend a lot of time on the ocean at the city named after the president and I agree with your assessment of the mountains and east/central part ...Cognito... it all depends on the time of day.

Michelle, did you hear Astoria is sinking? (big sink hole). it is a beautiful little town, I would love to explore a few attics in those old homes. I lived in California (bay area) for a short time, I'm afraid I didn't like it (no weather). Hope you get a chance to get up here again soon.

Astoria
Astoria is a cool town ... don't tell me the tower is affected also, alright? That's the only place in my childhood that I experienced vertigo. The tower is only about 200 feet high but it sits on a cliff that's about 500 feet or so. Hanging over the railing at age 10 it seemed over a mile.Michelle, did you hear Astoria is sinking?

Area of study, hmmm ... I did initiate a successful beer-study program on Friday nights, but other than that biochemistry and genetics. Try mixing that with football. Must have made me a nerdly running back.

Re: Astoria
Believe it or not, you probably were not considered a nerd if you played football, as nerds are usually physically inept:Cognito wrote:Must have made me a nerdly running back.

[since you mentioned grammar in reference to one my posts, I can't resist saying that nerdy is the adjective form and 'nerdly' (if there is such a word) would be the adverb. i.e. he looks nerdy and he acts nerdly. ]
Adj. vs. Adv.
You are correct; however, in my defense I was referring to my actions as opposed to looks. Therefore, I did make up the word to suit my own purpose and willingly accept your foul. BTW, the word is common usage in our household to describe occasional teen bevahior.since you mentioned grammar in reference to one my posts, I can't resist saying that nerdy is the adjective form and 'nerdly' (if there is such a word) would be the adverb. i.e. he looks nerdy and he acts nerdly.
Digit: defence, behaviour, so on and so forth.
