Friending Frenzy

[sereneorange]

I will start

I am Marilyn, I am 37 (aaaaaaaahahahah omg that never stops being funny- maybe it will when I hit 40) I live in Houston with my 14 year old deliciously dorky son, my sister, 4 cats, and a temporary rescue dog.

I have a great group of people on my f-list. They are wonderfully clever, snarky, supportive, interesting, and funny.

If you want to join in, post something about yourself in the comments, and peruse the other people here. I think my f-list is fabulous and more people should know them.

You can also post a link to this in your journal and send others here for a more lively frenzy

Also ,some questions so you can entertain me:

People that know me- What would you give me for a nickname?
Everyone else- What can you cook better than anyone else in the world?

All you ever needed to know...

Hi! As you might suspect, popfiend sent me.

I'm Alicia. Noncustodial parent of two and professional barista. I'm 35, slightly obsessed with yarn, and...I'm going to need more coffee before I come up with anything pithier.

I am told I make the world's best devilled eggs. I wouldn't know....I can't eat the damned things.

Nice to meet you.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

Hola! I used to be a barista. I still am crippled by the siren call of the nectar of the dark bean. (I have had 3 cups so far this morning :) *bounce bounce bounce*

My sister's deviled eggs aren't just tasty, they are colorful. She boiles them in food coloring :) I have a photo somewhere. Why can't you eat them?

[goddess-of-art.livejournal.com]

Hiya! What the heck? I'm Helena, a 40 something occasionally cranky artist, grad student and professor and high priestess and I love kittehs, tarot and art! Popfiend sent me, natch.

I'm super busy writing my thesis/dissertation/thing so sometimes my entries here are sporadic, but hopefully all of that will be over VERY SOON and I can participate on LJ more.

And the best thing I can cook? Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........there's this beer battered chinese chicken dish I like to make!

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

"thesis/dissertation/thing " What is the topic?

Hiya

[gloriousburdens.livejournal.com]

I don't understand this post! What's going on?

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

people post stuff about themselves and other people see it, say "that person rocks fairly effing hard. I want them on my flist" and adds them

And you rock. So someone should add you

Hi, I'm Tracy, American woman currently living in the Netherlands. Wife and mom to three kids, plus a Labrador Retriever who *thinks* he's a kid. I love the weird, the unusual, the silly, the irreverant, or the just plain wtf?. I love to laugh, read, cook, travel, and play video games.

I make a killer lasagna, awesome chilaquiles, and my orange-chocolate muffins are to die for. ;c)

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm here via popfiend ;c)

Hello
Poping over from the post that popfiend made.
My name is Nicky
I am 32

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

MN? do you have the accent?

[magsmom.livejournal.com]

Hello. Here from popfiend, like everyone. I'm Sally, 52 (so I don't think 38 is that funny) wife of 1, mom of 3. I live in San Francisco. I work from home doing legal work for a non-profit and occasionally for private clients.

What do I cook better than anyone else? Great question. hmmmmm....hard to say. I can put a mean meal together. Last night we had artichoke ravioli with pesto. Yumbly.

But I didn't make the ravioli - I just boiled them. But I boiled them PERFECTLY! And I did make the pesto.

I'm adding you because you made me hungry.
My sons, who are both away at college, suddenly think I'm the best cook in the world. So, I beat dorm food. That's something, I guess.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

"artichoke ravioli with pesto" droooooooooooool

I went to a greek restaurant last week and ate some artichoke dish that looked like two goat penises standing up on my plate. Was quite delicious

[angyllina.livejournal.com]

*wave* stumbled across you via another friend. I am 34, live in the LOOOVELY Houston, TX area and am slowly but surely recovering from a looong LJ Hiatus! :)

I cannot cook, I have issues even making toast, HOWEVER, I very recently bought a set of pots and pans and am going to give it a shot.

Nice to "meet" you!

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

So how did you do in Ike?

*cha-ching!* Via popfield, my $0.02!

I'm a 38 year old starving artist...IT consultant...uh...I really can't make up my mind, and that's my mid-life crisis...38 year old single guy in Austin, Texas.

Right now, I'm working on cooking gluten-free chicken soup better than anyone else in the whole wide world! Next week, I'll probably switch back to learning Thai food.

--Brian

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

cool! I have a couple of buddies in Austin

I get weak for a good veggie pad thai

[wakeupkent.livejournal.com]

Sweet jebus, you only really needed to ask popfiend to parade you around like a show pony.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

pfft.. not like I get any love from you. . .

[juciest.livejournal.com]

Dammit! Here I thought I was your only friend. lmao

Deliciously dorky son...that's cute. He is a mess, ain't he! He's got a great mom.

I guess I'll have to do one of these, one of these days.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

aww. Thank you.

Now peruse the comments and find you some people to add

Re: big pimping from <lj user="popfiend">

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

LOVE your icon. Now I am thirsty!

popfiend strikes again.

[axejudge.livejournal.com]

I make good food, but I'm not the best at anything - and that's okay.

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

I am always late! I just been sent via popfiend... i love checking out friending renzy parties.

As far as cooking goes, that is a new area I am just leraning right now... at age of 26, yes, I am finally learning to cook LOL! No I haven't been sheltered LOL. I can make some pretty good salads and great tea as well.

I just recently graduated college in May, and am now in the job-hunting phase... *fun* ... *NOT*.

My world is unique, ... and different. My entries is full of my many adventures in my life, of learning to be independent, my dog, LJ Idol entries, etc.... So, you are more than welcome to check out my profile!

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

I didn't REALLY start learning until recently. I couldn't make rice until I was 26.
