Not Engaged Yet

Newbie Here!

Hi everyone! I've been a lurker on The Knot for awhile, after being asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. I found this board and thought that you all seemed like awesome people who I could get along with, and after I made my first comment today, I figured I may as well introduce myself. I'm Kait, and I'm a recent college grad, and I'm currently trying to find a job. I love to read, binge watch Netflix, and I have a slight obsession with pugs, English bulldogs, and other "squish-faced" dogs, though I don't own one yet. However, I do have an adorable Bassett Hound/Beagle mix. 

My BF and I have been dating for almost five months now. We met online, but turned out we attended the same college, and despite it being a small campus, we had never met until our last semester. We're kind of doing a distance thing, since he's two and a half hours away, and that makes it difficult to see each other as much as we would like, but we are making it work. 

It's nice to meet you all and I'm looking forward to talking with all of you awesome ladies!!

    Welcome :) I have always wanted a pug that I could name Moo.  
    What's your favorite fast food restaurant? Do you have a favorite GIF?

  • Welcome! What's your favorite dessert? If you had to survive on one foodstuff for the rest of your life, what would it be? Do you knit?
  • @BreMR Thanks for the welcome! Moo is a cute name for a pug! I've been saying for years that if I got an English bulldog, I would name him Sir Baron Von Squishface. I don't even remember where it came from though. Favorite fastfood... does Chipotle count? Because I like Chipotle and Qdoba. I have lots of favorite GIFs. The use of GIFs on this board is what attracted me here in the first place! But of course, now that you've asked, I can't think of a single favorite one. So I may have to get back to you on that. 

    @KeptInStitches Thank you for the welcome! I absolutely love cheesecake, so that might be my favorite dessert. If I had to live off of one foodstuff from now on... this is a tough question. I think I would have to choose my Mom's lasagna. It's one of my favorite recipes. I do knit, but not very well or very much. I can make scarves with regular needles, and I make hats on a loom, but that's generally my limited ability. 
  • Hello and welcome! What's the story behind your SN? Read any good books lately?
  • @CLoGreenEyes I'm really terrible with coming up with SNs, but my favorite animals are giraffes, and I was an English major who loves to read. So I just put them together, and bookishgiraffes is what I came up with. I'm on the second Game of Thrones book right now, and I just started using Kindle Unlimited, so I'm sure I will be starting more books soon!

    Chipotle definitely counts, in fact I was going to add that to my question but figured that may influence you ;)

  • @bookishgiraffes, I'm working on the GoT series too! Who's your favorite character?
  • Hi and welcome!

    Anniversary

  • Hello to a fellow Kait :)

    Favourite colour? Favourite alcoholic beverage?

  • @Peaseblossom55 Hi and thank you for the welcome!

    @TwoDimes Coincidentally, I'm working my way through The Office as well! I'm on season 6. BF and I have been watching it, and it gives us something extra to talk about during our phone calls and Skype chats. As far as recommendations, I recently watched Parks and Rec and The West Wing, and loved them both. 

    If I could go on a free vacation, I would love to go to England. That's been my dream vacation. Either there or Greece. I would love to just be able to travel and explore new places. Where would you want to go?

    @KeptInStitches That is such a hard question! Right now its probably Daenerys or Tyrion. Who's your favorite?
  • Hello to a fellow Kait :) Favourite colour? Favourite alcoholic beverage?
    Hello to a fellow Kaitlyn as well! I like finding others who spell it the same way I do, since I always see other spellings! My favorite color is yellow, because a friend of mine in high school nicknamed me Yellow, and I grew attached to it. My favorite alcoholic beverage is either Angry Orchard or a Rum and Coke. 
  • @bookishgiraffes, right now my favorite GoT character is definitely Tyrion Lannister. But he only was my favorite after I read A Game of Thrones for the second time.
  • Welcome!!  I love English Bulldogs, also :)  I have a 6 year old English Bulldog named Watson

  • Hi and welcome!

    I LOVE the office; I've seen them all too many times (and can talk along with them), so now FI and I are working our way through the series.

    Do you like wine? What would you do if you won the lottery (other than going to England and/or Greece)?

  • Welcome!

    My FI & I also went to the same small college, and we had lots of mutual friends, but we didn't officially meet until he moved here for work :) 

    Random comment: Every single pug I've ever known has had a human name. I've known pugs named Fred, Eliot, Jim, Dave... and I know there's more. I find it hysterical.

    What part of the country do you live in? If you could move to a totally different part, where would you go & why?

  • Welcome.

    I like giraffes.
  • @KeptInStitches I started watching the show before I finished the first book, so I think that tainted who my favorite characters are. 

    severmilli12 Oh my goodness he's adorable!

    @TwoDimes I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise. My dad did one once and loved it, and I think it would be awesome to do. 

    lmcooper86 I didn't think I'd like the office, but BF talked about it a lot when he started watching, so I watched it randomly one day and ended up loving it! I do like wine! I like white wines more than reds. And if I won the lottery, I would pay off my school loans first, and then probably buy myself a puppy. 

    @GoldenPenguin It's funny how the small school thing works! We found out we lived in the same dorm building one year, and even had several classes in the same building, and never once ran into each other. 

    I think if I had a pug, he would probably have a human name as well. A girl I know has a pug named Pete, so this seems to be a trend!

    I currently live in Maryland, but I would love to move to Massachusetts. The jobs I want are there and I went there on vacation last summer and fell in love, and I would love to live there permanently. I suppose it's not a totally different part of the country, but I'm not a fan of Maryland. I used to live in Utah, but I don't really want to live in that part of the country again. 

    @loves2shop4shoes Hi! Thank you for the welcome!
