    I like to learn, and I enjoy school for the most part. I absolutely love to read, even though I hardly get to anymore. 

    My friends make fun of me because I like anime, and used to watch it. 

    It's surprisingly hard to tell someone your nerdy tendencies.

    Your dog and I have the same name.  Props on spelling it right.

    I love the name Macy. It suits her well, as I am sure it suits you well. :)

    <div>Welcome aboard! I enjoy school, too. So much so that I'm 29 and still a full time student! I have had jobs before, though so it's not quite as bad as it sounds<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /> Yay academia! </div>

    I wanted to name my pup Macy but I'm glad I didn't. She's too wild and stubborn for a cute name like Macy. Welcome!

    DanieKa- I have a year and a half until I finish my bachelor's, then I plan on going to Grad school at some point. I have much more schooling ahead of me. Sometimes it really excites me, and sometimes I am just ready to be done! 

    cu97tiger- I am VERY very picky about my french fries. I like burger kings, but not Mcdonalds. I don't like the big fat ones. I dont like the kind with that seasoning salt. But..if fries are done correctly I love them :)
    As for cheese, yes I love cheese. Especially colby jack and ricotta. I just can't eat a big chunk of cheese all at once. I have to have it mixed or on top of something.
    Yes...I am weird.

    MLekathLEEN- Macy is a crazy hyper dog, but she is kind of dainty and prissy. So it works. What kind of dog do you have? 

    Also, thank you for all the welcomes :)

    Welcome, this is the best board to be in!

    I noticed that you said you should be getting engaged soon, just don't get your hopes up.  BF said he would propose between years 1 and 2 of dating, and here we are...still BF/GF.  It took me a while to get over wanting him to FINALLY propose.

    Enjoy being BF/GF, it's the cute stage that goes away forever when you get engaged!!

    I do enjoy being boyfriend and girlfriend. I like to call him my "man friend" like Carrie did. 
    I only know about an engagement b/c he gave me a timeline he had set AND I am helping him pick out a ring b/c he is clueless. :) Otherwise I wish I was oblivious to it.

    I have a cairn terrier (like toto). She's 5 months old and is already the queen bee with our older dogs. The guy we got her from nicknamed her "little biotech"

    Hahaha my phone changes b*tch to biotech. :)
    Cairn Terrier's are so cute. They look super cuddly. Our Jack Russell isn't very into cuddling.

    Welcome! I'm a newbie as well and have not yet been proposed to, although it's been almost 3 years since we started dating! I'm in no rush. I just love planning and budgeting (now that's nerdy!). I can be impulsive, so I figure if I start lurking the boards and wedding trends now, when it comes time to plan my wedding in a few years (hopefully) I already know the things to look out for, what I like/don't like, and how much I need to save up lol!

    I have 2 dogs - chihuahua/pug (aka Chug) named Lincoln & Elizabeth. Elizabeth is such a well behaved princess, but Lincoln (whom I suspect has a bit of Jack Russell in him as well) is crazy hyper but he is a big bag of love :)

    Congrats on your schooling as well!
