Hi everyone,

I'm a bit shy so its kind of weird for me to be posting intros like this but I thought what the heck I already made a crazy rant on the virgin thread so I might as well just introduce myself before people think I'm the crazy cat lady next door.

I'm Fayth, but of course that isn't the name I was given when I was a kid because like most Asian kids I was given a very complicated sounding Asian name which is a terrible tongue twister although an interesting conversational piece.

An interesting fact about me?
Hm, I'm a pretty straight up person and though I have a very adventurous and adaptable personality I have not done many things my age group normally has out of choice - clubbing, etc - perhaps it was meant to be but I have a mild allergy to alcohol so it makes my job very much easier to avoid it.
But I do love horror movies. So I guess the interesting fact would be that although I love horror movies I am absolutely scared sh!tless of horror flicks and spend most of the 1 1/2 hour peeping through my fingers and palms while watching it.
I'm in the arts industry so I have a terribly overactive imagination and these horror movies don't help at all! But I can't help loving to watch it!
Same goes for video games.

I love animals, walks, cycling, art, video games, cooking, making a beautiful home, religion, debating, writing long novels and travelling (did I mention I'm scared sh!tless of flights too? :P).

I came to eH by accident, really.
I saw an interesting article on yahoo! and though am not in the habit of leaving comments I decided to post a comment. I had to sign up so I did, but the threads here are very interesting so I thought perhaps it would be nice to stay a while and get to know people.

So that's about it I guess.

Hi Lori et al.

I'm a Newbie to eHA, but not a lurker - just like in RL, I pick and choose the conversations I'll jump in on. I'm a paying eHarmony client and stumbled upon the boards by clicking on one of the advice articles on "the other side".

Let see... what can I tell you of interest?

I'm quickly becoming dissillusioned with eHarmony and will likely not renew my subscription when the time comes. Oh... and I have the ability to independently move, pick things up with, and cross my toes. Crazy Canadian!

Hi everyone.
>>
I'm a 47-year-old, single mom of four, grandmother of one, with three teens at home. I've been divorced for three years. I have NEVER dated before, (my ex-husband and I met as kids and were just pretty much always together or in touch) so I guess I have a LOT to learn!!! It has taken a long time for my heart to heal, as my ex-husband is the one who chose to end the marriage, but I believe I'm finally ready to move on with my life. I don't feel I NEED a man in my life, but I feel that life would be more fun shared with a man who loves God and family.
>>
I've been a paid EH member in the past, but I am not currently a paid member. I came to EH with a question a couple of weeks ago and have posted a little bit, but I have mostly been lurking. I don't feel I really have all that much to offer others on here, as I've not dated. These boards have so much helpful information, and I appreciate all of you who take time to post.
>>
As far as an interesting fact about me…hmmm…I guess it would just have to be that I've not dated, yet I'm 47, or that I've earned the label "groupie" because I now follow four Christian bands around at coffeehouses and other functions. I've recently rediscovered how much fun it is to get out and listen to live music! I feel like I'm a teenager again!
>>
Thanks again to all of you who keep these boards going.

>>
Blessings.
