Who Are You?

#1 Postby cycloneye » Sun Nov 28, 2004 7:09 am

This thread is for the members to post who they are in general terms in a brief way so go ahead and share with the storm2k family (Who Are You?).

I am a 48 year old person who is a friendly guy that likes to have many friends to share different things about what is going on in the world today.Also I like to view sports like baseball,basketball,football,and other sports.From the child age of 5 my real passion was weather and especially tropical weather as I was seeing the clouds moving everyday and every summer storms and hurricanes tracked thru the caribbean rising my curiosity to those features of mother nature.I like rice and beans as my favorite food to eat.My favorite music is the salsa.

Do you REALLY want to know? "LOL!"

Let's see, I'm not your common, everyday male, I do, however, enjoy fishing, woodworking but VERY little pro sports (I won't even go into the reason why, y'all KNOW the answer). My "PASSION" is cooking and creating my own reciepes, I do 99.99% of the cooking. I help out with the housework. One of my other passions is "saving lives!" I love helping my fellow man (to a certain extent, I've been taken advantage of ONE TOOOOO MANY times e.g. my neighbors :grr: ) I'm crazy about the weather and what makes it work, I "LOVE" winter! Guess that about sums it up in a nutshell! My favorite food is Mexican (New Mexico cooking actually), I listen to CHIT kickin' country music 99.90% of the time, I also enjoy the oldies (50's-60's-70's).

I'm 41 and have had a passion for the weather elements since my junior high years. Am an introvert in person due to high-functioning autism called Asperger Syndrome...but do enjoy online social interaction and having fun w/ family, friends and weatherbuddies. I also love to watch football and baseball, reading, solving crosswords, etc. Pizza and ice cream are two of my favorite foods.

I'm a silly, 'ole young girl - 42, to be exact :lol: -
and, I love weather, especially the severe stuff!
I have one child, a 10-yr.old Akita/Black Lab mix
female named "Alex", and, I'm a nurse, working
in a neurologist's office. I also love gardening and
landscaping as hobbies. In the winter, when all is
dead and dormant, I'm planning next Spring with
all of those wonderful flower and vegetable catalogs
that will arrive in Winter! Of course, I'm always
crossing my fingers for at least one good TN snow,
in the meantime! ;)

Who am I?

Well, I'm a laid-back "good ole boy" who loves to make folks laugh...and make them feel better about themselves. I'm also a certified weather nut, especially regarding tornadoes and hurricanes....an experienced and accurate amateur meteorologist; a veteran storm spotter. I've chased severe storms some in the past, and lord willing...will chase again in the future.

Personal? age 43...a native of suburban Atlanta, Georgia...work in the security/ patrol field, also care for my precious grandmother. I'm single/ never married, but have a wonderful girlfriend (Traci). Three younger sisters, ages 39, 28, & 20....also three nephews & two nieces...all under age 10 (my little angels :)

My interests? Besides weather, also immensely enjoy sports, especially pro and college football. I enjoy music...in my teens, was the drummer for both a soft rock/ pop and a contemporary Christian band; enjoy all formats/ styles of music...especially smooth jazz and Christian. Fav artists include Steely Dan, Pat Metheny, Point of Grace, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Norman Brown.

Fav food? anything chocolate (dessert); also love Italian cuisine and seafood.

I'm a 22 year old girl who loves her family and friends, and I would do just about anything to put a smile on someone's face, even at my own expense. I love life, I love weather, I love football (go EAGLES), I love baseball (go CUBS), and I love my boyfriend Justin. But one thing I'm super pysched about is being an expectant mother! I feel so lucky to be blessed with all I have! I work at WalMart, and I don't love that all that much (but who really loves their job anyway? :lol: ) It pays the bills! My favorite music is anything that makes me move, but I love it all, honestly you cannot name a genre that I don't like at least a handful of songs from! My favorite dish is spaghetti, though I eat all kinds of strange things lately (today it was Ranch Pringles with ketchup!!) , and chocolate is one of my food groups!! :D I drive a crappy car, and I have a beta named Bob as a pet! Hope this helps ya out! :lol: :wink:

Hey Jacki! :D

You mentioned a betta named Bob...my folks and I have bought two bettas a week ago this past Friday at a PetsSmart for my niece and nephew (and us!) to enjoy...they'll now have shared pets here to enjoy when they come down to see their Grandparents and Uncle Eric!! :D Anyway, my niece Janae named her's Rocky and nephew Jared named his Stitch after the character in "Milo and Stitch"! :) Rocky has some nice burgundy and dark blue and Stitch is dark blue and we have some colorful transparent rocks in their respective bowls. :)

Streetsoldier, you look like you could just go crazy and shoot lazers out of your eyes. Just as I thought! :-D


I'm a student of most everything. I read compulsively. Somehow I manage to go to college, work on the weekends, have a girlfriend, read compulsively [sic], and still waste most of my time doing trivial things like going on bbs and playing games. This naturally leads to a stressed life. My dream is to sleep for 9 hours.

Do a bit less compulsive reading and you'll have your 9 hours of ZZZ's. :wink:

I'm 44, single, I'm in marketing and work for major law firm. When I'm NOT working, I like to work-out, cross-stitch, and read (I love history)! I like to cook and I bake when I get nervous (I bring lots of goodies to work during hurricane season!!)! I am close to my sisters, and we just welcomed the newest edition to our family last Saturday, Brady Ray!

Forty-one year old motorcycle enthusiast here. Also enjoy offshore fishing, camping, gardening - pretty much anything outside, hence the passion for weather. Also grew up in NE Kansas and had too many up close and personal situations with tornadoes. My grandfather was Chief Forecaster in the Kansas City weather office and retired from the Weather Services as MIC in Albuquerque. All of us grandkids were weaned on weather trivia. :)

Well here goes, I'm 19 years old, I was born and raised in Irving, TX on May 7, 1985; I've been a weather nerd since I was 6. My mom's name is Dawn, my Dad's name is Gerald. I like to eat anything on the plate as long as it's not peas, mushrooms, or mushy veggies. The only veggies I like are corn, cold carrots, potatoes, and salads. My favorite sports are....well almost all the sports!! I like to help out handicapped kids, of course, that's how I met my best friend, Jason who is currently diagnoased with Muscular Dystrophy. I like nearly all kinds of music, my most favorites are rap, rock, jazz, and big band/swing. My favorite TV shows are "The Three Stooges", "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", "Looney Tunes Show", etc. One of my favorite movies is....yep, you guessed it, "Twister". My favorite hobbies are drawing, bowling, swimming, running & walking, hanging out with friends, etc.

That's enough about me.

I graduated from Menasha High in 2000 (class of zeros!) I am 22... I'm a soon to be graduate of UWGB! May to be exact. I'll have a bachelors degree in Earth Science and Environmental Science (emphasis is Physical Systems). I still have to decide were I am going once I graduate from UWGB. I have several choices, but I could also end up working as a Meteorologist at a lower market station (I have the tapings under my belt... who knows...I could be in your neighborhood!)

I currently work as a lifeguard and swim instructor at Neenah-Menasha YMCA (been there for 5+ years).

I live at home with my mom and step-dad... oh yea and my dorky little brother who just happens to share my birthday. (we are 4 years 13 hours apart) We have a drama queen fat kitty cat named Bud (actually Austin, but we call him bud).

I can't forget this! I am a Citizen/Soldier with the Air Force Reserve stationed at General Mitchell in Milwaukee.
