Reveal...its a few posts late

[juls1585]

*Im a few posts late, but I wanted to make it decent. Part of me didnt wanna make that 1000th post because it meant I would be put in a different category that Im not sure I live up to. I considered not even doing it, but when I first joined I saw many people do it, and I figured I should. So here it is...*
First off I want to thank everyone here for welcoming me into your community. I also want to thank any and everyone who has ever helped me.
Now I guess it’s onto the fun!
My name is Julie. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio on December 1st, 1985. I was welcomed into this world by my wonderful parents, as well as an amazing older brother Geo. Not long after I was born we moved to the house my mother grew up in to help my Grandmother when my Grandfather died. The funny thing about all this is I don’t remember any of it. The first real memory I have is when my younger brother Mark was born in August 1989. I remember hiding under a table at the hospital terrified of him asking if my mom was going to have anymore, because well I didn’t want anymore! Thank god they listened to me!
Childhood and my teen years were pretty normal for me. I met my best friends on the playground when I was three and we have been unstoppable ever since. In school I was the usual dork getting a 3.0+ and being involved with absolutely everything they would let me do. I started playing softball when I was 7 and I played up until my senior year in high school. Of course after high school came college.
I applied to many school and I was accepted to all, but I chickened out. I didn’t want to leave my friends and family. I stayed home and went to school here in Ohio. I think it was the best move I ever made. I was able to live at home, save money and avoid the usual college distractions that you get when you live on campus.
While in College I was invited to meet with my favorite band in the world about a possible job. I thought it was a joke at first. I read the email over and over thinking how they even knew who I was. After that initial meeting I was asked to start doing design work for them for their website, t-shirts and other misc. things. In 2007 they invited me to begin touring with them. I was able to travel the country with them and see so many places I would have never gotten to see without them.
Eventually I graduated college with a degree in Accounting and found a great job that didn’t involve a tour bus. Around the same time of me finding that job I purchased my very first home and adopted my two dogs Penny & Stella.
So, here I am now. As I sit here and write my reveal while I should be working I keep thinking this is also pretty important. Over the last few months I’ve met and gotten to know you guys. Thanks to you I have learned a lot whether it be about the common gadget we all love or what movies are good or bad. It’s been a lot of fun all because of you guys!
Thanks guys…for everything.
Sorry it so long. I just typed it and didn’t reread it as I wanted it to be pretty much everything without being edited.

I was more of an Nsync girl...give me some Justin Timberlake and Ill be happy

[Europa]

I don't get it? :dft006:unhappy
You were so SWEET to juls that you elevated Naps blood sugar level, causing hyperglycemia and eventually he slipped into a diabetic coma. Don't worry, I saved his life with some Regular Insulin I had handy. :dft012:wink

[TarekElsakka]

Lol haha, I should have expected that from Naps >_<.

[styfle]

Not everyone over 1000 posts does a reveal...some of us remain mysterious.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

<------With good reason...

[Europa]

Well, not all of us were blessed with common sense...

[juls1585]

Mindi I'll admit I've got none.

[Europa]

I have less than you and I'm really wishing I had a time machine right now.

[computerfox]

I have less than you and I'm really wishing I had a time machine right now.

how did that conversation come into this one lol

@jules congrats!!!!! do you have to reveal once getting 1000?

[Europa]

I don't remember, I had a bit too much to drink last night.

[computerfox]

I don't remember, I had a bit too much to drink last night.

without me?!? :dft008:suprised :dft007:angry :dft007:angry you promised you'd wait... :(


what'd you have?

[Europa]

I don't remember promising anything. I must have been drunk. ;)
Budweiser American Ale. Normally, I wouldn't be caught dead with a Bud in my hand...

that's true. drunken promises usually ending up being broken promises : cries like a 13 year old girl in the corner with a teddy bear and ice cream:

that just broke my heart... :(

whiskey, vodka, or of course red, red wine :ok:ok

ftw!!!

or absinthe usually does the trick too :D

[acosmichippo]

how old are you?

[KabaModern]

Congratulations Julie! You know I've enjoyed having you around here and I'm sure everyone else has. You're a nice asset to the forum! :D

[KabaModern]

how old are you?

Seven....maybe eight? It's close.

[juls1585]

Congratulations Julie! You know I've enjoyed having you around here and I'm sure everyone else has. You're a nice asset to the forum! :D

thank you kaba!

[Europa]

Hi Julie !!!
How are you this morning?

[juls1585]

Hi Julie !!!
How are you this morning?

good morning.

well.....i think we went to one too many bars last night. getting home at 3 and getting up at 9 is never good. nor are 2 pitchers of beer and red headed sluts apparently. but we had a good time!

how are you so far today?

[Europa]

My hangover was yesterday morning. I'm all good today!

Red heads are a dying breed, take it easy on 'um. ;)
What did they do?

[juls1585]

im not even hung over. im just weak and i dont want to do ANYTHING. my dogs are barking and running around and im like ugh come lay with me guys please or go chew a rawhide.

redheaded sluts the shot lol. its jager, peachsnapps and cranberry juice. well the bartender screwed them up the first time, so the second time he made us all doubles, so really we had 3 in like 10 minutes which is what killed me

[Europa]

Oh, that kind of redhead... ;)

Obviously, I'm not up to date on this. I tend to stick with Tequila and beer. I assumed a couple of redheads were hitting on your boyfriend, lol.

[juls1585]

lol no actually he didnt go along. he had to work last minute, but sent me on my way. it was one of my really good friends 25th bday. we did the whole group dinner and then bars thing. he would have came after work but we were about 45 minutes south, and he doesnt drive. i came home and he apparently had a good time after work anyways because i found him curled up on the couch with the dogs and taco bell watching grandmas boy.

it was just a rough night. im so ready for a relaxing sunday!

[Europa]

AHHHH! I hated that movie! Do you like it?

[juls1585]

ive honestly never seen it. i just know what it was because he kept telling me its "grandmas boy...i love this movie" i was like thats great im going to bed after i have a taco

[Europa]

lol!
I'd say we should continue this conversation in IRC Chat, but I have a theme to work on and then I have to get some sleep. I've been up all night living the dream. :)

[juls1585]

i am clueless about irc chat. i have to download the client though. let me do that and ill be right in!

[Europa]

Yeah, set it up so we can chat later. I'm a bit tired right now though. I recommend Colloquy for Mac and iPhone.

[juls1585]

i actually just got into the chat. it wasnt nearly as hard as i thought it would be!
