So, in the spirit of getting to know one another more, and being more active on the website, I thought I'd start a thread about what people are like/what we do IRL. *G* I know some of this from hanging out with you guys of course, but it might be nice to have a place where others could look and see what those who feel comfortable posting about it have done.
I know we have members from all over the world, so some of us aren't around to hang with others based on time zones:) Even just saying "I'm a student" or something tells others you might rarely ever see something about you.

I'm a housewife and mother of 5. I'd like to be a writer... I keep coming up with story ideas and what I hope are interesting characters. Putting it on paper is my challenge, but maybe someday. *sighs* I think I'd need a place far away from life's distractions to do it...hehe. Every so often, the drawing bug bites me and I make a family member sit for me and I'll draw a fairly decent picture of them. I'm really shy till I get to know you, and I have a quirky sense of humor. Sometimes I feel like I'm older than dirt, but most of the time I feel like I'm 17. I really like Victorian stuff....houses, dresses, decor. I'd be throwing tea parties with real china and petit fours if I could. That's about it. Hope no one got bored..haha!

Hi all, I play Demetriel, Aeriena, Vanimelda and Ivywillow on Landroval. I live in Ontario, Canada. I am 19 years old and my real name is Demi. I am a college student, I study culinary arts, and I am also a sous chef. My hobbies include cooking(of course), drawing, writing, snowboarding, horseback riding and playing LOTRO. I am also a bookworm, I love to read everything down to my cereal boxes. I am quite shy meeting new people but once I get comfortable I am very outgoing. Glad to be part of such an active kin!

I play Bookwerm/Onnika/Morninglorie/Juniperiwinkle in our Kin. I'm 25 years old, and the RL daughter of Vendla. I have 4 older brothers and am the only girl in my family. It's an interesting dynamic. I did not have to share my lipsticks growing up, to say the least. I am also the proud mama of 5 kitties... Shai (Bit), Trinket, Wickett, Oliver, and Pigwigeon (Piggy). I used to write poetry a lot in my teens, and have since had some writer's block. I have been trying on and off recently to break through that writer's block. We'll see where it goes. I graduated from Medical Assisting school a couple years ago, but realized that's not where my heart is. I want a career helping animals. I am thinking rehabilitation. We'll see where that goes as well. I volunteer in a library in the meantime. My hobbies are playing LOTRO, of course, singing, trying to learn to play guitar (Staind, PearlJam and Michelle Branch songs primarily), going for walks when I can, soaking up as much sun as I can before I turn an uncomfortable shade of pink, baking sweets whenever I have the ingredients, and looking forward to Spring so I can dabble in some gardening. An interesting, or possibly not so interesting, but certainly tell-tale, little tid-bit.... my bedroom walls are currently 3 different paint colors.. white, cream, and blue...... I can never make up my mind and finish all 4 walls >.>..... I'm thinking blue.... now to find a shade of light blue *spasm* 0.o

*G* Book, I understand the not-being-able-to-decide thing, I've had that issue myself. LOL, it drives my husband nuts sometimes when we try to order out and I'm staring at the menu for twenty minutes!
Writers' block is a pain, yeah:( Have you tried just randomly writing down words for a bit and seeing what comes out of that? It sometimes helps. Or looking at pictures for inspiration. Good luck!

HI y'all! I'm new to the kinship and I'm a mom of two but I work a "day" job M-F and then in my spare time I have an Etsy store where I sell handmade clothing and artwork. Luckily my day job lets me work from home so as long as I get my work done when I'm supposed to, I have pretty free reign. This is fantastic because I have two small children (21 months and 3 years) a crazy new pug puppy and life as a housewife/mom and all that can be crazy as crap 99% of the time. Some of my favorite hobbies are art in all forms, I guess I'm artistically ADHD or something lol, reading although I never have the time, currently I'm trying to get through the Game of Thrones series. Lastly I love horseback riding but I haven't been able to do that in years just due to "life." When I was a kid however we always had horses and I miss that. I wish I could give that lifestyle to my daughters but my husband is city folk so I don't see that happening. lol Here is a photo or two sharing my life. Enjoy! Here is the new puppy "Tardis." Here I am with my kids at a Lego convention. And here are a couple sample of my artwork.

Okay, guess I'll just write some stuff down here too My RL name is Jef, I'm 21 currently and am a college student. I'm trying to become a pharmaceutical and biological laboratory scientist but still have one year to go before I can graduate. My hobbies include gaming (a lot - LOTRO, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Need for Speed...), partying with my friends (also quite a lot, and I'm not proud of everything that happens at these moments), snowboarding, music (metalhead til death - see pic of my halloween outfit last year), sleeping (!) and having a good laugh with pretty much anything that's funny. I think that's about it, feel free to ask if you have any questions for me My halloween outfit in 2012: Don't worry, I won't eat your kids, nowadays I look like this: (But I'm still 100% metalhead!)
