Blondie-Wan Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Hi! I guess I should offer a few words to introduce myself... After occasionally following a link to this site from something posted elsewhere, and recently noticing what a great community this seems to be, I've decided to register as a member. I already frequent a lot of other online forums, so I don't know how frequently I'll be here, but I'd like to play at least some small part in this community. I hope I can contribute as much of value as I take from it. I'm an AFOL (naturally) who first discovered LEGO as a kid in the early / mid-'70s, enjoyed it until some point in the early / mid-'80s and then entered "the dark ages;" though I did get a few tiny LEGO sets through a Kellogg's promotion in the early '90s, I didn't really get back into LEGO until the Star Wars line pulled me back in the early 2000s. Since then I've acquired an awful lot more bricks than I ever had as a kid, and occasionally I even have time to build with them (though I'm still working on making enough room for all the models I'd like). My chief LEGO interests these days are Star Wars and Indiana Jones (I pretty much grew up on George Lucas movies - to the extent that I can be said to have grown up, anyway), but I also am quite fond of other themes, particularly classic Space. Alas, I no longer have any of the classic Space or Trains (blue rail era) that I had back in the day, but I do have a lot of other cool stuff, and I hope one day when circumstance permits I can pick up some of the old classics I remember and miss so much. Naturally I dig Pirates, Adventurers, Castle and so on, but recently I've found myself particularly interested in Town/City, and look forward to one day building a large cityscape. I'm an American, currently living in Tallahassee, Florida, but when younger I lived in various other parts of the US and in Europe (dad was in the military, and our family moved around a lot). I have a boring job (that doesn't pay nearly enough for a LEGO enthusiast!), but I hope to one day return to grad school and finish my studies in anthropology and pursue that for a career. Aside from playing with LEGO I love watching movies and enjoy playing board games (and don't have enough time or money for any one of these pursuits, let alone all of them!). Quote
