Thanks, I never did an intro post back when I joined! (Didn't really know they were a thing till recently) 

SCREEN NAME: novella1186
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: engaged (wedding date is May 2, 2015!) 

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Near Chicago 

WHERE IS YOUR SO FROM? Teeny tiny town on the east side of Indiana 

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR WORK? Clinical research (and I'm a published writer)  

AND YOUR SO? I don't remember his title but he does design stuff with apps and web content and marketing  

ANY KIDS? No! And NOT anytime soon!! 

PETS? A fat little beagle with an attitude who was the runt of the litter so she's also a shorty, a big giant rescue dog who's half Catahoula and half mystery, a lizard named Pickles, and 4 tropical frogs 

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHEESE? Goat cheese! (Best thing EVER is to slice a baguette, coat it with olive oil and Italian seasoning, grill it, and then spread goat cheese on it) 

FAVORITE DRINK (boozy or not): Stoli. My family is Russian so I pretty much grew up on Russian vodka. And I've said this before but I did a case study on Stoli for grad school so I know how it's made. Ridiculously obsessively high quality, especially for its price!  

ANYTHING ELSE? I love tattoos (I have about 10 now and I'm planning my next one), I paint and draw for fun, I listen to everything from the Beatles to Rob Zombie (but no country, although I'm super obsessed with bluegrass and yes bluegrass is WAY WAY WAY different than country), I do kickboxing for exercise (took classes on MMA fighting), I still watch cartoons pretty much every day, and I love love love bacon so much! Also I love all you wonderful ladies on TK!  

Do you listen to any folk?  I've been into that the last year or so and my town (Woodstock, IL) has a folk festival every summer in July- you should come out.

Please recommend some bluegrass for me.  My fiance's mom has played a few albums recently and I'm diggin' it!

I do like folk! When I was little I really liked Joan Baez  

I love Old Crow Medicine Show,

Dehlia Lowe

The Dillards 

Nickel Creek

The Avett Brothers (although they've gotten really popular on normal radio stations which for some reason bugs me)

Chatham County Line 

Trampled by Turtles 

Johnny Flynn

The Dhuks 

oh man there's so many... If I think of more I'll let you know! We're having a bluegrass band at our wedding that has played with Dolly Parton and I'm SO excited!!! 

I love Woodstock and have been to the folk festival a few times over the years. I forgot about it completely!

Just dropping to say I LOVE OCMS!

ETA: And Chatham County Line! 

Yes, NC!

I had to jump in on this folk discussion also. Hope I'm not intruding. Has anyone listened to Middle Brother? I believe they only have one album because it's three guys from other bands, but that one album is pure gold. 

Also, Trampled by Turtles.... holy shit it's like God is singing to me.

Also also, classic bluegrass, The Country Gentlemen are the best!

AND YOUR SO? mechanical engineer

ANY KIDS? Nope. We do want children but are waiting two years for. I have bursts of baby fever a lot, though!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHEESE? Like @KatieinBklyn, you can't make a Wisco girl choose! That being said, I love a smoky Swiss cheese.  Absolute heaven. 

FAVORITE DRINK (boozy or not):I have an obnoxious sweet tooth, so I will drink anything (except Dr. Pepper. Blargh).  I can't have any liquers because of my tree nut allergy, but I will drink most beers (I really hate overly hoppy) and wines.  I love Chardonnay!  I don't get the hate, but I also will eat straight bran cereal. I guess I just like earthy foods.

ANYTHING ELSE? I have lurked for months because I love all the sass and only commented a few times.  I tend to use CC as a distraction and I like the adult conversations.  Not working in an office or a consistent place has made me feel a bit lonely, and I like getting to know the community here!

 @theycallmelinz I'm a Massachusetts girl but I did my freshman year at Auburn! I wanted a change of scenery and boy I was not prepared for that kind of southern football crazy. I transferred back to MA but I still root for them. And I'm pretty sure @hellosweetie1015 went there. 

I DIIIIIIID!!!! FI did too, although we didn't meet in school. I love it and miss being there almost every day (gamedays excluded most of the time). 

I'm not really sure where this came from... I should go back and read the rest of the thread, hahaha.

ANYTHING ELSE? I recently moved to a new town where it's fairly hard to meet people, and FI is gone a lot for work. I'm glad I have you guys and other internet friends to socialize with. His job is supposed to be opening a branch in Japan, and if that happens we are hoping he gets to go work in Japan for a year or two. How cool would that be? I would totally quit my job to go. I suppose I could be an English tutor. I don't suppose they have much use for my type of work over there, but I don't care!

I play a lot of video games, if any of you love me and also have steam PM me! I also paint and I used to be a dance teacher. I taught mainly bellydance and swing/lindy hop.
